Dang weather! Sorry to disappoint everyone, but the meeting for tonight is cancelled due to this crazy weather. But then, it's Ohio, right? Be sure to come to the next meeting and bring your machines and tools so we can work on the next quilt for Eastman's. We will also be finalizing the plans for the quilt show on March 29th. See you then!

This meeting was a work meeting. We made great progress on the last (possibly) of the service quilts for Eastman Funeral Home here in  New London.

It was decided to do a 16 patch in pastels with sashing, on point, using 2 1/2" squares. Everyone dug into their stash to contribute so many squares that it was mentioned we could do 2 quilts, which is now the plan.

So many squares!

At the next meeting we will be adding the sashing and possibly starting on a second quilt in this same pattern  and colors. If you couldn't join us for this last meeting plan on attending the next one on February 27th.  You know what they say, "Many hands make short work".

 

Reminder of the quilt show coming up on March 29th. If you can't make it to the meetings, contact another member for details. Anyone can enter a quilt to be shown, whether you are a member or not. There is no judging, so it's just a nice and relaxed show only.

 

Hope to see you on February 27th! Meanwhile, maybe some of this snow will melt!
