This past Sunday we had another great meeting!

We started off with some business, of which the majority was discussion about the new Modern Quilt Guild dues and structure. Our local chapter still has a lot to discuss in regards to those changes and so we just wanted to get the conversation started with our membership.

Carly led us in a wonderful improv piecing tutorial, pushing many of us to consider stepping outside our comfort zones. She also shared some of her wonderful projects using the technique she taught.

Then we shared the results of our ugly fat quarter challenge from January. It was so fun to see some less desirable FQs turned into something beautiful (and functional).

And as always we had a good helping of show and tell to wrap things up.

We hope to see you at our next Wednesday meeting (April 10th) and our next Sunday meeting (April 28th).

Today Kerrie taught us how to piece curves! Both from templates and with an improv flair. We really appreciate that so many of our members are willing to share their skills with the group. You certainly don’t have to be an expert to volunteer to teach a little skill. Thanks so much for taking the time to share what you know with us Kerrie.

Today we discussed organizing some guild events (sew-ins, road trips), we drew colours for a fun new challenge (if you were not at the meeting please email us and we will make sure you get some colours assigned if you want to participate in the challenge), and we of course left plenty of time for show-and-tell.

The majority of show and tell was dedicated to the results of the Madrona Road Challenge that we shared in our previous post, but here are some other projects our members brought to show us today. This group is a constant source of inspiration.
