Feb 25 Meeting Report

 There were lots of us present at our Tuesday meeting at Joyce's.  Sue and Adrienne set right to work hand stitching bindings, Sue on Marybeth's pastel baby quilt and Adrienne on Joyce's. 

This is Nancy's quilt.  You can just see the top of her head on the left.  Nancy was in the second photo but this was a better picture of the quilt so Nancy will appear in a later photo.  Nancy said there are only two blocks in this beautiful scrappy quilt.  Here is a hint:  One is a Sixteen Patch.

Here is Nancy's fabulous Improv Sampler.  I do not recall all the details of this class that Nancy took but I think it was a Quilt-Along.  Each student made the sample blocks and then had to arrange them as an Improv quilt.  I love the way Nancy has arranged this.  It really succeeds in keeping your eye moving around the quilt.  The colours are gorgeous and is really balanced between lights, mediums and darks.  The fabric line (one more question for Nancy) is available at Fabricana but I didn't note the name.  Nancy, can you bring this to the next meeting again if it isn't too much trouble.  I really didn't get a good look at this and Colleen missed it entirely.

Penny brought one of her Disappearing Nine Patch blocks to show us.  She is well underway now and determined to use her stash on this which she plans on keeping for herself.  That will be a  perfect project for Spring.

Here is another quilt on Penny's list.  This is really adorable and looks pretty scrap friendly.  I think Penny will be showing off her embroidery skills with this one.

Two birthdays were celebrated with two cakes--Penny's and mine.  Penny is a year older than me and I can't remember how old I am so that's all I can say on that subject.

While some of us continued with socializing, quilt talk and hand work, there was a work crew busy in Joyce's dining room working on cutting out I Spy blocks for our next group project.  I believe the people hard at work were Betty, who was cutting and Joyce and Leng choosing fabrics for Betty.  Dee-Dee was busy taking photos, so big thank you to you, Dee-Dee and to Sue who also sent some along.

There will be several more blog posts to follow because it was a meeting chock full of ideas and plans and I think it would be better to separate some of those discussions out of the main report.
