January and February meetings

The January meeting was a members' meeting. Several new challenges were issued and as usual members accepted them with enthusiasm.
Work began on letters for a new banner and 'Blue and Pearl' pieces.
Also in January we had a stand at Nantwich Quilters Exhibition and Fabric Sale.
It was a lovely day, our work was much admired and generated a lot of interest.

The February meeting was a talk by Pat Salt entitled  'A Morning with a Quiltmaker'

Pat is much more than a quiltmaker! She brought examples of beautiful appliqué, stencilled and painted designs, Kantha work and exquisite stitching as well as 'traditional' quilts.

An inspiring talk which was very much appreciated by the large audience.
