Tacoma met for their business meeting and demo of the 'Circle Wedge Tree Skirt' that many will be doing February 20 at an all day workshop.
Everyone loves the coffee and special treats brought by the ladies and the catching up that takes place with one another. We did not have a lot of 'show 'n tell' this time. But what the gals did have were the use of wonderful skills.
Pauline with this gorgeous pieced quilt. This was her first time at needle turn applique. It was a McCall's pattern in a book that her friend Sherry gave her and then helped teach her 'how' to do the applique. STUNNING!!
Andrea is knitting a scarf/shawl. She bought 3 skeins of yarn and was wondering how long she should make it....and the 'skilled' knitters said 'keep on knitting until the balls are gone.' Of course, we all laughed but I think she was hoping she was near the end. It gave us a chuckle...so Andrea just keep knitting and maybe we can see the finished piece next time.
Janet who is the 'Queen of Bargello's.' She received a scholarship from PTQG (Pine Tree Quilters Group) for $250.00. This is the beginning of the use of the monies. A class with Quilt University. She is always doing different techniques and these are some that she has experimented with. She takes the class and if she does not care for how it looks she puts her own spin on it. They were just beautiful. A very gifted lady with an eye for color and technique. Great job!! She is also our correspondent for the state newsletter 'Patchwork Press' and always does a superb job. We look forward to seeing all the new ones she will create. When finished will give a report at the state members meeting within a year's time.
DISPLAY-FIVE JANET'S BARGELLO'S
(She explained the varied name's of the different technique's)
This one is so interesting don't you think?
GUESS WHO!!!! We have 'secret sisters' and this was the bag full of things that were received. Of course, we do not know 'who' did it until the big reveal in June. But it brought a lot of laughs!! We always have such fun with those who get a surprise. We drew names in September and we are responsible to give at least 4 times until June when we find out who is our special sister. Chocolate is a favorite of most everyone and always bring a smile. We have a lot of thoughtful girls who are having fun with it.
This month represents Mardi Gras and Valentine's
fabric, pencils, napkins for both events, pad of paper and then
of course the mask which was on the outside of the bag. So cute and thoughtful.
Yours truly was the recipient along with a unique note. Thank you SS.
Next time will be our workshop. Until then 'HAPPY QUILTING'
