March Meeting

We had a great March meeting today at the Community/Recreation Center.

Just some of the show n' tell.....
Glory showed a quilt she made for her granddaughter. She also made a splash with her red sweater shirt she made over into a lined jacket. I think maybe we need to have her teach us her jacket pattern in a future class.

Connie showed a beautiful quilt she and a quilting friend made for a returning soldier in their neighborhood. Quilters are some of the most thoughtful and generous people!

Kathy (hiding behind her quilt) showed one of her finished UFO's she began last year. Good job!
Our March guest speaker was Jen Alexander from Quilt Top Stop, her home machine quilting business in Bountiful. She presented a great lecture on different types and uses for batting in our quilting projects. I know everyone learned something new to try in the future.
Remember:
1.Be working on your June challenge quilt to be judged during our June Luncheon...theme-
"Summer". Use your own fabrics.
2.Those who took some of the coral fabric at meeting...make sure you turn in your 12.5 inch
block for our donation quilt next meeting in April
Looking forward to our next meeting!
