What an excellent turnout for the first GreatFul Threads meeting of 2016. 19 newbies, former members and visitors were present. Thanks to the Jackie and her sidekick, Karen, for a great start to a year of art quilting. Everyone needs to pull her weight so be thinking of what program you can present, no slackers allowed!
Our lovable host, Bill, let us know that Mr. Bernina, will be in Chattanooga, April 26, from
9:00-11:00. (Mr. Bernina is not his name, it's Head Honcho....no, not that either, I didn't write it in my notes. My bad) We each need to put that date on our calendar so that we can show him how special Bill and Melissa are to us.
Brenda Cregger will present a "Paper Quilting" program for February. What fun! Hang onto your hat and be sure to eat your Wheaties that day.
I would like to thank everyone for the wonderful house blocks that were presented to me. A big surprise, who knew all these women could keep a secret for 3 months! I adore each of them and hope to have a show and tell with them next month.
This year we are once again having a monthly art work give away. Karen Sperry won Kim Callaway's needle book, see pics below. Karen will make the give away for February.
