March 4 Meeting

Twenty-eight quilters attended our March 4 meeting.

The evening was mostly spent reviewing QuiltCon, as 18 of our members attended. It was interesting to hear everyone's observations about the show, lectures, workshops, and vendors - trends seen, interesting information, and what might have made it better.

President Karen presented a fun QuiltCon quiz about MQG and QuiltCon statistics and information. Answers were shared on our previous QuiltCon blog posts, so if you've been reading our blog, you'd know the answers. :-)

Everyone who participated in Beth's @blue_dragonfly5 "Interleave" workshop at the February 9 Sew-In was invited to bring their finished project to show. We sure enjoy seeing so much color!

For a better look, here's each maker with her Interleave quilt.
