January Update and a new Exchange!

If you weren't at the January meeting, we've decided we will do a Half Square Triangle (HST) Exchange. Edyta Sitar has a wonderful video about doing triangle exchanges, and there are so many things you can do with triangles! We'll make some each month, exchange them with each other, and come up with marvelous designs! We passed around this document with lots of HST ideas! Next meeting (February 23rd) we'll hand out directions, and papers we'll print in house, so we're all working with the same thing! (Not Edyta's - they're too expensive.)

Our meeting was fun and filled with excitement for the upcoming Superbowl - too bad it didn't turn out like we wanted. :-( But Terry inspired us all with a quilt she made for her physical therapist - hopefully quilting it doesn't send her back to the therapist! It was almost done at group, and she sent a pic of it done! Nice work - and way to improvise!







We also had lots of other Show and Tell!

Barb made a bag to test a quilting design.

and she made a matching accessory bag!
