2017 January Meeting
January Meeting - by Helen
It was lovely to have such a big turn out on such a frost and cold night that greeted our first meeting of the year.
After Julia completed the Notices she drew the winner of the Christmas Word Search who was Jan with Eleanor as runner up - well done to both members.
Then it was on to Shirley Quilter 2017 Challenges as we plan towards our mini exhibition on 21st November - it sounds a log way off but will zip round and still take us all b surprise! So now you know that you have to design a Log Cabin hanging and run up a couple of Two by Two blocks using the colourful fabric provided - get cracking while the frost is on the ground. The Two by Two is due back in March so get that out of the way an leave lots of time to create the Log Cabin which is due in October.
Then if you still have some energy you can join the fund of the Raffle Block - just remember to pin you name on the block before you hand it in at the April meeting and you could be the lucky winner of the bag of blocks.
After all the Challenges were set we have a very welcome and refreshing cuppa before we concluded with a Show and Tell.
Let's hope the snow does not return to interfere with our February meeting - until then stay warm and happy sewing.
