Wow! January flew by in more ways than one! The cold weather kept me home more than usual. Cleaned up my sewing studio again and got a great start on a large quilt. I finally started the quilt from a 2023 shop hop and have the blocks made. My 9-year-old granddaughter dreamed of more gifts for her classmates for Valentine’s Day, so we are on a sewing adventure together creating small pillows for her classmates. My 5-year-old granddaughter is starting hand sewing together. In my efforts to keep quilting alive and well, my sister, a friend and I got together to help them with techniques and we made a table runner in a day. (Rather they made a table runner in a day, mine is unfinished). I have a plan of what I would like to create this year, how about you?
Thanks for playing along with the new show and tell, we will repeat it at our February meeting, display your quilt as soon as you arrive for viewing before the meeting and during the break. Our speaker, Chris Schulte, will have a trunk show for us.

I am continually inspired by the passion and creativity that each of you brings to our guild.
