New Year~New Projects January Meeting

New Year~New Projects

We are all so excited! After a successful year last year we can't wait to see were we will be at the end of 2012. We had our meeting at Rula's house and started out our year off by getting a gift from Shannon. She passed out clear craft boxes to put our blocks in. We talked about the block patterns and how we would like them done. Some of use are asking for others to use their stash to make the blocks and others will be providing some or all of the fabric. We then swapped block patterns. Shannon provided a border and sashing for our Sudoku Quilt. Dawnel will take the quilt and add them. Rula and Shannon passed out step 1 of both of the quilt alongs. Shannon, and Gaylene will be doing Shannon's quilt along and almost everybody is doing Rula's.  Shannon showed us how to use Half Square Triangle Paper. You use 2 pieces of fabric and the sewing paper.Sew on the lines and then cut apart. When you are done ironing them open you have perfect half square triangles. She made a wall hanging with the pieces she made.

Good luck ladies making your partners block and we will see you next month!!
