February Threads

My friends Janet and Becky are so good taking me along to quilt guild meetings. On Feb 2 we went to Mechanicsville where the group had set up the meeting celebrating Chinese New Year. I wrote about it on my main blog.
Next day we went across the river. The program was very interesting. We rotated to three mini lesson stations. I liked this one especially about curved piecing.

I might have to look for this book at my library.

Quilt meetings always motivate me so I sewed the BLOCK LOTTO block.

I also attempted to sew a sleeping sack for Caleb. He had outgrown the one they used and even IKEA didn't have one Sarah could buy. If armholes are too big he likes to draw his arms in and get naked. Happy to report it was a success even if I had to invent the pattern.

This month's lace meeting was very nice too ... and delicious. Natalie came back from New Orleans with King cakes.

Lots of eye candy and very motivating. Look at Mary's vest! The front is bobbinlace and the back knitted.

And yes, soon I had another Lace Chrismon finished. The Catalan bobbin is a gift from Lali who had just visited her family in Spain.

Eye candy too at the CR Quilters' meeting. Jane's guest Phoebe was working on hand quilting.

Becky's two "sweatshirt" jackets. She will teach us next month how to do those.

And just before going on vacation I had to try whether I could do this paper pieced block. I guess I could. Pretty pleased with it. And now I have to be patient until I can make the rest of this quilt.

I guess that's about it.
