Great Meeting

Our quilting guild members had a great meeting last night.  One of the members lives in the same city as I do, so we have arranged to drive to the meeting together,  good idea now the price of fuel is going up in price.  

The challenge we were given back in November was due last night.  Last year we were given some black fabric and an artist canvas, we were to use both of those items, plus make a design using geometric shapes of our choice.  The colours had to be opposite on the colour wheel, and we could add anything else to enhance our project.  Many did designs using circles or triangles, I chose to use circles, however, my design was the Solar System.  Red/orange and blue/green were the colours I used, along with machine embroidery, fused fabric, beads and the sparkly stuff which is found on Christmas cards.   I will take a photo of my project and post later today in an update here. 

We also had a guest, she opened a new fabric shop in the city where the meeting was and gave us information regarding her new venture.  We were all invited to visit her to see how she has set up her wares.    Show and share then followed, we certainly have a group of talented sewers.  

Half of our members still wore their masks, like myself we are still not quite ready to take them off in public, even though we were very well spaced in the room we are able to rent in a church.  Hopefully, when we have our next meeting in April, things are even better with regards to the virus and we will all feel comfortable ditching those masks.

We are a cold cloudy and wet day, the same is forecast for tomorrow and possible snow on Sunday.  Keep telling myself it is still March, but I do so want the weather to warm up and stay warm.  

It's a toss up between Chinese and fish for dinner tonight, will soon have to make up my mind and get things out of the freezer.

Have a great day.
