January (and February) Group Meetings

January Group was fun! We had some very unique show and tell's. One was this quilt that Jennifer is making with some friends. It's for the kids of a woman that passed away, made from some of her favorite clothes. They're actually making several - one for each child. Jennifer said it was a unique challenge, as the fabric isn't "normal" quilting fabric - t-shirts, jeans, etc. Really a neat memorial for those kids.

Anne received this really cool quilt from internet quilting friends. It's actually 2-sided because she has so many that care about her!

And the back - is this amazing?

Melanie made a couple of quilts for her daughters - really nice work!

and the other:

February group meeting was all about learning the string quilt process, and making some blocks! Apparently I was so enthralled by it all I forgot to take any pictures of us working. (Lame, I know.) Anyway, we had fun, got lots done, learned an easy way to use up on scraps!

January Retreat!

We had fun at January's retreat. As usual, I spend some of my time "planning" or "mulling" or "sitting and doing nothing," according to Sharon :-). I'm deciding what to do with the pretty fabrics...

Sharon, however, gets more done:

Melanie finished this fun star:

And Cherice worked on Hunter Stars:

I did get a top started:

Sue Daley got this fun top done - doesn't it look adorable?!

Lots of other items got worked on, but didn't get their pictures taken. We really did have a nice time at Seabeck!
