Was great to get together again after taking December off for the Holidays!
We discussed changing our meeting time/day to better accommodate the fabric store.
After some discussion we decided our next meeting will be:
TUESDAY, February 17th
5:30 p.m.
Time AND day has changed. Please mark your calendars!
Cherie talked to us about using embellishments on our quilts. She has made some stunning quilts with jewels, markers, crayons, etc that are all designed to be used on fabric.
Show n' Tell was quick.
Janice made a beautiful bright tree skirt for her Christmas tree this year. She did not put in a split so she could also use it on her tables as a table topper.
Jana's husband bought her an embroidery machine for Christmas. She has been trying to learn how to use it. Made a couple of mug rugs. A zippered bag for her embroidery scissors. Then a tooth fairy (monster) pillow...that still needs to be stuffed.
Cherie also showed us one of her table toppers. She seems to find the best fabric for these beautiful works of art.
Going to put up a page on Facebook for our group and invite the county to join. To make it easy for everyone to find, the name will probably be "Bridger Valley Quilters". In doing this, I hope that you can share more of your projects you are working on during the month instead of just waiting for our meetings. Also if you know of a good quilt show, or of a great quilt shop you have been too, tell us! I hope everyone will join and many of the valley residents too.
Remember our meeting has changed next month to Tuesday, Feb. 17 at 5:30 p.m.
See you then!
