This past Sunday, many members of the guild gathered for a workshop to learn how to make box bags. Under the very patient guidance of the guild's own Randi Lenet, we each managed to complete at least one bag, many of us left with two.
As we began to construct the bags, we heard many calls for seam rippers and a few choice words every now and then, but we also heard many exclamations of pride as the bags started to come together and when the final product was produced. A few quilters even put in their first ever zipper. ;-)
Part of the fun of gatherings such as these is seeing the different fabrics that everyone uses for their projects. Some were learning how to make the bags just to learn a new skill, while others had specific gift recipients in mind.

Many, many thanks to Randi for the workshop, for the executive for arranging it, and to all the members who came to the workshop. The best part of these workshops, aside from learning a new technique or skill, is getting together with others and having fun.
