january 10 meeting





show and tell
Pat stated that she and her husband have moved most of their furnishings into their Goldendale home, but will still be commuting back and forth to Seattle until her husband retires in April. Pat brought a quilt top pieced from fabric she had dyed delicate pastel colors. Some of the fabric was dyed by the Shibori method which involves wrapping fabric around a PVC pipe before dying.

Harriet came empty handed , but enjoyed the cookies, socializing, and seeing the other projects.

Mariam turned in a baby quilt composed of crisp green and white fabrics acquired from Diane. A highlight of the evening was her predominantly lavender quilt she finished as a New Year’s resolution. It will be a tough choice for her to either pass it on to her granddaughter or keep it for herself.

Ingrid presented her daughter Mckenzie’s American Girl doll, dressed in an adorable crisp jumper her daughter (10 years old) had painstakingly made. Ingrid is taking classes on Bernina software.

Flora presented numerous projects. One was a quilted apron made from fabric featuring a San Francisco scene that she may donate to the YF auction or another cause. Last month she had time to practice on her long-arm machine. She displayed several projects in varying stages of readiness including the start of her pink YF quilt, a baby quilt, and quilt tops featuring flannel squares, a log cabin design, and an assortment of plaids. Whew!

Janet displayed three colorful graphic fabrics she’ll make into table cloths for a fund raiser. For the benefit of members who missed the meeting last month, she again displayed her shirt quilt.
