January 2011 Meeting

Today's meeting was short + sweet!  Seams as though everyone enjoyed their holidays too!  We are anxiously awaiting the Guild Annual Quilt Retreat at the end of February.  Below are a few items from our Sew 'n Tell:

This is a quilt Joanne made for one of her granddaughters.  She quilted it with spider webs and used Superior Threads Glow in the Dark thread and it stayed lit up for 28 minutes! 

This is a patriotic wall hanging that was formerly a UFO on Joanne's List!

Then, just for kicks, Joanne whipped up Scrappy Hearts from her stash!

Here is Sue with a tie she made for her husband!

                                                         and since Sue will not be in attendance at the Guild Retreat next month, she brought in her Guild Challenge Quilt to show all of us!  Everyone who attended the Retreat last year received an envelope which contained a crayon and we were to design/make a quilt using that color.  Sue's crayon was the green used in her quilt!

Here is Doris with two of 30, yes, you read that correctly, THIRTY pillowcases she made while visiting family over the Holidays!

Here are the balance of Doris' thirty pillowcases!

and last, but certainly not least, here is Linda with 10 pillowcases she made over the holidays for the Guild service project!

Great Job Ladies!
