What a year!
You may have noticed that we didn’t post monthly in 2024. It’s hard to stop having fun to update a website. ;) A special thanks to Luiza, our 2024 Social Media VP for all of her hard work and taking on the role of leadership. Documenting the meetings, the ongoing UFO Challenge and also handling the other social media outlets is a almost a full-time gig, but she did a great job. Luiza is on leave for the rest of the leadership year, so I will be filling in until our new officers are elected in January. You can reach out via the Social Media channels or my other role (Treasurer). Be sure to check out our Instagram account, and our updated calendar for a glimpse of what we have planned for 2025! - Cheralee
April 2024 Recap - Color Exploration!
April showers bring May flowers, and at our guild meeting April brought a wild array of color ready to be explored. We discussed how to use color, in April and beyond, and challenged ourselves to explore and use color for our Q3 quarterly challenge!
President: reminder that we will not have a meeting in May, since we have the Retreat!
Our Show and Tell is always a great opportunity for members to share what they are working on and have finished! We had multiple beautiful quilts this month, including a comet quilt just in time for the eclipse, and multiple temperature quilts!
Our theme for the April meeting was Color Exploration, and we spent time talking about the color wheel, color theory, and how to easily pull multiple combinations of colors that complement each other for quilts, using existing and shopping for new fabric that complements the projects we have in mind. We did a hands-on exercise in putting together color pallets that complemented or made some fabric we brought in pop.
Overall, it was great to see all the colorful quilts and spend time talking about our approach to color. Our third quarter challenge is about using color pallets, and I can’t wait to see all the colorful quilts our members put together!
March 2024 Sew Day
Thank you to all our members (and visitors!) who joined us for our March Sew Day! It was so great to see everyone, work on our projects, and just chat about what we are all quilting! Photos from our day and Show and Tell:
