New Meeting Format

January was the first meeting with our new format. See the Meetings section of the website or check out the newsletter for information on meetings.

We’re looking for volunteers to open and close the sew day meetings and to bring irons, ironing boards, and cutting mats. We determined that sending out an email to membership before each meeting would be the easiest way for members willing to volunteer. Keep an eye out for the email about a week before each meeting.

Book/Blog/Bolt  –  Show&Tell

She also showed us a new ipad quilt planning program that she is trying out called Quiltography.

Sherry showed us some Barbados bags she made:

Val brought a great book to show us:

Barb showed us a one hour basket that she made. It’s a free tutorial online! She will be teaching this a the Outlook Quilt Retreat.

She also made some Little Quilted Buckets (also a free pattern):

Darla brought some samples of Pigment Basics by Melody Miller for Cotton + Steel to show us. It’s something you’ll want to consider purchasing in yardage to get that full beautiful ombre gradient.
