The February Meeting was all about the love!! Our Hearts were full of it, for quilting and community, and our BOM wall was also full of the love, for Split Hearts! We had 56 hearts turned in and 6 winners were able to take home blocks.
Our speaker, Connie Lancaster from Quilts Plus, went first and shared her shop class on bindings. We had a real live demonstration projected on to a screen so we could watch her prep her quilt for binding, cut the binding, and attach the binding. We had a few quirks in the system, and a few hands were involved in the process, but it was lovely to see the guild try something new to share knowledge with the members. Thank you Program Committee for a wonderful program! And thank you Connie for bringing your presentation and quilt products for us to shop!
After a brief intermission we got back to the meeting and we had a full presentation of our talented quilters’ items. Amazing!!!

It was my goal to get to the meeting and join the group for my sister and myself, but with just enough time to spare I was able to view the latter part of the binding demo and watch the show & tell (wonderful!) while visiting a couple of tables to see what was going on there, and I felt so happy leaving and looking forward to being a part of what I think will be an amazing adventure!
Thank you Maggie! We are so glad you were able to get there for a bit. We are having a Meet N Greet at a member’s home on February 20th, if you would like to attend let me know and I can get you the details. I think you may have tried to join through the website? We had an issue with the application form but it is now working correctly. However you are able to join we look forward to meeting you.
I do believe you were sitting at the back, down from my grand-daughter and I? She was the busy Miss who walked me all over the back of the sanctuary. LOL
