Monthly meetings

The cancelled December meeting of the Colonial Lacemakers was rescheduled to Monday January 7. Since I wasn't sure at that time when we would drive to Nashville we had changed the regular meeting time to a week earlier.
Those who could come and I had a great time. Mary, Christina and Gail were working on their lace.

Natalie showed me a trick when knitting a pair of socks. She is an accomplished weaver and knitter besides making lace. Her lace jewelry is super.

I didn't take many photos when the CrossRidge Quilters met. Luckily I got these. Janet is making a "quilt as you go" and the strips are made in a very interesting technique.

Marsha finished piecing her BOM we all did all year. Unfortunately I am still far behind. I have a New Year's resolution for UFOs though .....

Most of the above blocks are made with the HST with squares. Betty also is trying to catch up with the project but has a problem with them. I prepared one for my blocks and called her so she could come over and see. That's what this group is about. Help each other.

To draw the lines to sew on, line the ruler edge up with the top left corner. Line the half-inch line up with the bottom right corner. You are doing it right if you can draw across of the corner of the square. Turn it around and do it again. Easy!

 Actually, that's what every group is about. To learn from each other.
