This month's ASG Quilters gathering was quiet. Bad weather and holiday obligations kept some members away, and we missed them--but lunch was good, anyway!
Barbara Coonce finished her paper-pieced pillow that she has been working on, and we really admire her color choices and the precision of the design that the paper-pieceing made possible.
Carol did some stippling on the photo quilt that she learned how to make from Janet, and Rosalie used her Accuquilt-Go to cut tumbler blocks for a quilt she is making for a son. Rosalie wondered if mixing flannel and non-flannel fabrics would be a good idea, and the consensus was "No." Although I thought the difference in textures would be interesting, everyone else pointed out that the difference in shrinkage potential could be disastrous.
Our guest Zia is almost through with the Nativity quilt she is making for her church.
She got the embroidery designs from San Bernardino Sew and Vac, and the help and encouragment from all the friendly people that hang around. She also shared ice cream, but--honestly--we would have been helpful and encouraging anyway.
Several of us worked on non-quilting projects because that is the way we do things at ASG Quilters--free form, all are welcome.
We also made the decision to forego a meeting in December. I am sure you understand. Just the same, if you have any pictures of completed projects that you want to show off, send it to my email address, and I will try to post it. (You can find the address on our asgie.org website under board members: use the one for the secretary.)
