Several members had been working on the Round Robin kits that Tammy handed out in February and they were traded on to new quilters to continue growing.

We had just started the block of the month with a look at blocks done by Lu, Tammy and Gayle

New blocks of the month and the program on the Folded Star Block will be available at the April meeting which had been planned as an open meeting to work on individual projects.

We had a bonus meeting in March–a Saturday program to learn about Swedish Embroidery. This is the only Saturday program we had planned for this year and was well worth the time to attend. Joyce and Judy took us through the process step by step so everyone could get a good start on their project.p1000160.JPG

And there was plenty of time for sharing as we learned.

And I think that finally is all the news from the past month. See you Monday.
