Happy New Year and Feb. meeting

It's a new year and our group has some exciting plans for this year.   We hope, if you are in the Fredericksburg area, you come out to one of our meetings (it's free) and see what we are about.  We would love to see you, no matter your quilting experience or style.

Soon, we will be posting member spotlights but for today, I'm going to share next meeting's details and a few pictures of finished quilts from show and tells of last year.

UPCOMING MEETING
Please join us at 10am for business (probably 1 hr) and stick around for sewing after at the Crazy Cousin. We have the room for the day, THANK YOU, Rhonda! 
What's happening:

  1. Bring a project or two to sew (hand or machine stitching but please note, we have 12, maybe 13 spaces for machines so let's communicate & count who's bringing one)
  2. If you are familiar with sewing half square triangles (HSTs), please bring a couple scrap pieces as well as one finished HST & share your technique w/the group.  Since there are so many ways to do this, we are sharing our knowledge to help each other build skill sets.
  3. Optional: Bring your 12.5" unfinished red, white & blue block if you have one. This is the last meeting I'll be collecting them.
  4. Optional: Bring a Mug Rug to swap (no smaller than 9.5"x6" & no larger than 10.5"x8") in a brown paper bag or envelope. this will be a blind swap.
  5. Bring show and tell of course!


Now, please enjoy a few snapshots of creativity.

































Have a great day and we will see you next time!
