We had a great meeting to kick off the new year! Lots of exciting plans!
Here is a recap for those in attendance and to catch up those that missed out..
- Sew Days are held the 3rd Saturday of each month @10:00am at Scrap Apple Retreat Room, from 10:00am – 6:00pm.
- UFO Challenge will be an exciting, year-long event in coordination with American Patchwork & Quilting. Check it out HERE. Remember to use #APQResolution when posting. January is #7, bring your UFO to Saturday Sew and share progress in our private FaceBook group.
- BOM Lotto is a new and exciting way for everyone to participate in Block of the Month (BOM)… plus, a chance to win! Each month a block pattern will be presented at the meeting. Go home, make a block or many blocks, more blocks equals more chances to win! You will receive a raffle ticket for each block you make. All of the blocks will be collected. The winner will take home all the blocks or if we have enough blocks to make multiple quilts, there will be two or more winners! Jen Glathar presented the 12″ Heart Quilt Block at this month’s meeting, pattern attached. We are making this block using a navy, coral, teal, & white color way. This can be done with solids or tonal/blenders fabrics in the same colors. Watch for an example pic to be posted on our IG or FB page.
- Member Spotlight is your chance to shine! We would love to get to know you and learn about your way of quilting, how you became a quilter, or a specific quilt style or sewing technique that you have honed in on. If you are interested in telling the guild more about you and giving us a trunk show of your personal collection.
- Sew n’ Tell is always inspiring and this month there was plenty… check it out on Facebook & Instagram!
