Resolutions No! Inspiration YES
What a wonderful way to start the new year with so many beautiful quilts and friends getting together to share their tips and quilts. Our President Jeanette got us off to a great start introducing some new ideas and projects for the guild in 2016. To start the year she shared a sweet Lantern Block done in Oriental Prints to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Karen gave another great Quilters Lesson on everything you ever wanted to know about needles. It was a great lesson emphasizing that you want to pair the size of the needle to the size of the thread, finer thread uses smaller needles and for the task at hand. For example, use ball point needles on knits and universal or sharps for piecing and quilting or top stitch needles for quilting on your home machine. If you are having problems with thread breaking, tension, etc., you might need to change your needle. She had so much more information so if you weren't at this meeting you might want to contact Karen for one of her handouts.
One birthday this month with our delightful Belinda leading off the new year, and lots of door prizes.
