February Meeting Highlights

February was all about color!

Lise presented this month’s program, sharing the ins and
outs of color use and the secrets to making our quilts “pop”. 
Everyone sported colorful new Name Tags they created for this
month’s swap. Names were drawn, and Terri, Karen, Gwen, Barb and Yvette each
won a new fat quarter to add to their stash.
Amanda was the lucky winner of the day’s big Door Prize… “In the Studio with Angela Walters”  – a great new book to add to her collection!
February’s Block of the Month was a huge success – the table
full of colorful blocks looked like confetti. Amanda, Colleen and Tricia each won some of these
fun blocks to play with. We can’t wait to see what they create from their winnings!

Show & Tell was overflowing with color!

Kathy shared this stunning beauty that she designed herself.
This wall hanging by Lois is super festive.
Pam didn’t leave any color out of this beautiful quilt. 
Barb made these adorable Valentines to give to her loved ones. 
Thank you for sharing, ladies!

NEXT MONTH:
The Block of the Month is Rose Garden

The Guild will host a Potholder Swap. Make a potholder to swap with friends! Don’t forget to use your modern fabrics. You can
find a variety of patterns HERE and HERE.

We will also kick off our first Quilt-Along. If
you’d like to participate:
– Bring  6   2 ½“ wide strips, measuring 17″ – 22” long in a baggie. Include
your name in the bag, so we know who to thank.  
– Bring as many bags
as you would like to swap, plus maybe an extra to share with someone who might not have a stash.
– Directions for what we will do with our strips can be found HERE.

February is Mid-Atlantic month! That means lots of vendors and shopping. Bring your new patterns, fabrics and books from Mid-Atlantic to March’s meeting for Show & Tell. We’d also love to see any creations you make in workshops or classes.

See you in March!
