Our new Co-Presidents, Linda and Michaelanne, chaired our first meeting of 2020!  They encouraged everyone to take part in our new HST (Half Square Triangle) BOM (Block of the Month).  Each month, we will learn a different method of making HST's. Linda showed us her version of this month's block.

Most months in 2020, we will have a vendor at our meetings.  This month's vendor was Stache Fabric and Notions and several of our members took advantage of the opportunity to add to our "stashes".

We had a wonderful display of our members' talents during show and tell.  
Jan, Kristyn and Sonia  taught us three different methods of doing improv piecing. We were divided into three groups and received a 10 minute lesson from each of the teachers.
Soon it was time to start cutting and sewing and pressing to make our improv blocks!  We were each given some solid fabrics in the guild colours and many people had extra scraps and fat quarters to add to their blocks. The sewing machines were humming and it soon became obvious that everyone had been paying attention during class time! 
At our February meeting, we will learn how to put these blocks together into a quilt top. 

​I will leave you with some inspirational words from Pablo Picasso...
