January 2022

 In January everyone was excited to begin a new year of projects. Tina, our president for 2022 shared ideas for UFO's, the challenge and mug rug of the month. Marcia discussed the retreat with us and passed out a survey about it. Members told about the venues that retreat has been held at. First up - show and tell.

Tina is getting addicted to English paper piecing. 

Tina's EPP from Clothesline Club

Tina made this pattern her own and appliqued down the hexagons.

Another great find at Saver's for 3 dollars. Dianne is just hand quilting it and it will be done.

Pam's interest is saving endangered animals. 

Pam uses the half inch square paper that you can purchase and looks up pixilated designs for grid sewing online. That is how she created "Save the cheetah"

Berndadette has been making cute charity quilts.

She took a scrap workshop called quilts for kids.

Virginia's grandmothers flower garden UFO

Back of Barbara's quilt. She quilted it on her home sewing machine and experimented with different techniques.

And the front of Barbara's quilt. She will donate this to charity.

Virginia announced that we will have World Wide Quilting Day on March 19th at the Senior Center in Sandy. Please tell all your friends. If you want to clean out your sewing room there will be a give and take area for your stuff. Will be potluck or bring your own sack lunch. Virginia needs donations of small items, e.g. pillows, mini hangings, quilted bags, totes, etc. for a silent auction to help out the senior center.

Tina showed the mug rug of the month, a cute PP heart. She also demonstrated basics of paper piecing.

Tina's UFO from clothesline club

Tina shared organizing tips for our UFO's, and printed out some project trackers to share. She purchased this book which has good organizing ideas. Tina got us pumped up to continue trying to get those UFO's done. There is also motivation to finish UFO's from the Utah Quilt Guild. Leanna is running that program this year so get on board and maybe even win a prize for finishing !
