February Meeting

Our February meeting was held in Topsfield.  For this meeting, we spent some time shopping at Sew Fresh Fabric's facility either before or after the meeting and we held a show and tell.  In addition, a bunch of members gave our beloved president, Laurie, a few homemade gifts in anticipation of the birth of her second child any day now.

Here we are at the beginning of the meeting.

Here are some of the quilts/projects shown during show and tell. 

Laurie finished her Bee quilt.

Karen is adding the binding to a quilt for a friend.

Leah is working on this quilt and has four blocks done. 

She's also finishing the binding on her zig zag quilt.

Amy brought her fab courthouse steps quilt to show.

I showed my storm at sea quilt.

Jane shared another Verna quilt.  She's trying to use up the rest of her Verna fabric.

She's also working on an English paper pieced quilt.  Here's one block.
