In view of the cold and snowy weather, Monday night's meeting has been canceled. Not all streets have been plowed, and it is hard to say what tomorrow's driving situation will be. So, stay home, stay warm, stay safe.
Ann Holmes will be presenting a workshop on March 7 on Rhododendron Bud, French Fuse Applique: No sewing until you quilt it. Participants will be able to complete this small project during the workshop. The workshop will run from noon-6:00 p.m., and costs $40 + $5 for the pattern. If you would like to attend, please contact Carolyn H.
Check out Ms. Holmes' website is at www.annholmesstudios.com if you would like to see her work.
February Monthly Meeting - 02/08/2010
It's time once again for the Arlington QU monthly meeting! I finally made it to January's meeting and was glad to see everyone again and thanks for the warm welcome back! (This blog post is so stolen from Carol M's email!)
The February meeting of Arlington QU will take place Monday, February 8, 2010, at 7:30 p.m., in the Auditorium of Goodwin House at Baileys Crossroads. We hope to see all of you there.
At this month's meeting, Carolyn H. has a fascinating program planned and it will feature folks from our own chapter:
- Diane H. - Collage: An Easy Way to Design Quilts
- Barb L. - Exploring Antique Sewing Items
- Susan T. - Designing and Making Liturgical Items
- Jean W. - Creating New Small Quilts from Antique Fabrics
There have been some inquiries about the Ugly quilt fabrics, also know as the Gawd-awful fabric blocks. To make a block for this project, use the ugly fabric which you may have drawn a couple months ago, or use one of your own ugly fabrics. Make a 10 ½ inch block (will finish at 10 inches). Use any pattern and accompanying fabrics you wish. This is an ongoing project, so you may give your ugly block to Janet L., our president, whenever it is completed.
Arlington QU Photo Directory
Kerry B. plans to arrive at 7:00 Monday nite to provide more photo ops for the Directory. If you haven't heard - the Arlington QU Directory will be a hard copy production, with an OPTION to also have your photo published on the website. The goal is to help new members (and us old farts matured people who can't remember your name) figure out who you are! So send a photo by email, or come by and get photographed!
Does anyone know who made the folded boxes that were on the tables at our Christmas potluck? Linda B.l would like to know how to make them.
As usual, we all enjoy seeing what you are making. Please bring in your work for Show and Tell.
Here is a link to an almost perma-40% off coupon for Joann's... along with many other coupons. Sent to us by Martha G. Thanks, Martha!
Thank you for keeping in mind that we are a “no fragrance” group.
