Well, Monday night was our last meeting for the month of January - again, I ask, where does the time go? We had a guest come to ask us our opinion about batting. The discussion was an interesting one, and the overall consensus was that we are all pretty busy with our lives and that perhaps the company would be better served hiring people to test their batting. The final outcome is that the rep will probably send us batting squares, as part of a kit, to test, and in the future, she will send us batting for our community projects.
On Sunday, January 31, some of us have signed up for a class with Debby Kemball - we will be using her new pattern, Seven Species, that Debby designed for us. I have begun a list for those interested in taking this class in the spring. If you would like to take this class, please let me know asap, as it is limited to 12 people.
On Monday, February 1, I will be demo-ing how to make 3D fabric hamentaschen. For those members who do not celebrate Purim, I have found another project that incorporates yoyos.
On February 15 we have Diane Shink coming to talk about antique aprons. We have invited the other west end quilt guilds to come to the meeting.
Have any of you thought about what you might like to see the guild do next year? Have any of you thought if you might like to take a position on the executive? Please be in touch with me or Roz or Barbara to discuss your ideas.
On a sad note, we mourn the passing of Gail Flicker, an original member of Loose Threads Quilt Guild. Gail was a talented artist and a warm, kind woman. May her family and friends be spared further sorrow and may she rest in peace.
Please leave a comment after you read this post, so that I know I do not write in vain ;-)
