January 2018 Show and Tell

January Meeting Rescheduled -- 1/29/18

Boy aren't we glad its not 18 degrees!  Hope all of you are doing well.

As you know our regular meeting was canceled because of the weather. The library was closed. They have allowed us to reschedule our meeting until Monday the 29th (this coming Monday) at 6:30.

Don't forget to come early to choose fabric, notions, or kits from a former quilter.  We will be bringing car loads of stuff as I mentioned in the last email. We will be there by 6. Please bring something to use to take your goodies home.

We will also talk about next year and discuss GSQA membership.

Can't wait to see everyone

Sharon

PS:  the GSQA meeting is this Saturday (the 27th) at St John's United Meth.

Church at 230 Renee Dr. That's just south of the Gardere/Highland road intersection. The meeting is from 10am-3pm.

Meeting Canceled

Friends, I just saw the forecast for tomorrow. The low tomorrow night is supposed to be in the teens or low 20ies. I don't want anyone driving at night on roads that may still have ice on them. I will ck with the library and see if we can schedule a make up meeting in the next 2 weeks. The library is closed today so I will not know anything until tomorrow. I will let everyone know as soon as I can. Please ck with your friends in our group to make sure they got the email.

Thanks. Stay warm and safe,

Sharon 

January Meeting -- 1/18/18

 Good Morning,

Hope all of you are warm with this cold weather. I am hunkered down and sewing intermittently.

I am really looking forward to our meeting Thurs. We will be making plans for 2018 and have some ideas for learning new techniques and doing new challenges.

One of my former patients was a quilter who passed away about 2 years ago.  Her husband called me around Thanksgiving to see if I would take her quilting/sewing stash.  I agreed  and Mynan and I picked 2 SUV loads of fabric and all sorts of sewing stuff.  We will bring a lot of it to our meeting to share with the group.  We have fabric for backs, fabric to piece blocks, scraps and even some kits.  Some things have been started, others are just put together. Please try to come a little early and bring something to carry your goodies home. The husband was wanting her things to be used. I did tell him that we would make some charity quilts from some of the fabric. 

Please come and help us kick off a great 2018.

Looking forward to seeing everyone,

Sharon
