As it turns out, February 1 was our first meeting of the new year. Our meetings in January were both cancelled because of snow events; and in fact we had more snow on Wednesday but decided to hold the meeting anyway. Attendance was off a little, but we still got quite a bit done and good refreshments to boot. Along with our regularly scheduled activities, like Mini Raffle and drawings for Fat Quarter Club, we discussed the Area 4 meeting in the spring, an upcoming bus trip, and a Red and White Group Challenge for MaineQuilts in July.
Brenda collected several more quilts for the NICU unit, an ongoing giving project for our group; and we discussed the possibility of purchasing labels for those quilts. In mid-February, Brenda will make another trip down to Portland to deliver a new batch of quilts.
Our next meeting will be a Stack and Whack workshop for our members, featuring a local instructor, Barbara Accord.
Following Show and Tell, Brenda did a demonstration on Brenda Henning's method for constructing half square triangle units.
