With the frigid weather we've been experiencing, our first meeting of the year was short and sweet.
We started out with receiving the forms needed to display our quilts during the quilt show on March 29th. The information that needs to be included will explain who made the quilt, how was it made, was it made for someone in particular and what the quilt pattern is called. We have plenty of forms left so don't forget to pick yours up at the next meeting. The quilt show will run from 10:00 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the Methodist Church sanctuary. Set up time will start at 8:00 a.m. Please bring your quilts and forms at that time. The theme this year is "Stars Over New London" with quilts featuring star blocks in some way. Of course all quilts are welcome and encouraged. We would also like to have on display the paint chip projects that were made for last years challenge. If anyone knows of any quilters who are non-members of the quilt guild please invite them to also display their quilts.
Also it was decided that both meetings in February will consist of a short business meeting and the rest of the time will be spent constructing the last of our service quilts for Eastman Funeral Home. This is a smaller quilt in 2 1/2" pastel squares. Please bring your machines, irons, ironing mats and tools and be ready to sew. Let's get this finished up so we can move on to our next project.
Kim then asked if there was anything anyone was interested in learning or working on. It was suggested that we hold a workshop on making purses and also some members are interested in learning paper piecing.
Since we had so few attending, there was only a couple of show and tells, so we'll hold those for the next entry.
Stay warm everyone and we'll see you at the next meeting on February 12th.
