We had a prospective member at Tuesday's cancelled meeting! While I was feeling guilty for missing January and February's meeting I was determined with hiking stick in hand that I was going to Tuesday's meeting of Grand Rapids Modern Quilters! The roads were good, but I basicially only had to travel across 3 Mile and a short ways on the East Beltline. Above, Marcia didn't think to check FaceBook prior to leaving work! She was there when I arrived at 6:30! She showed Roni and me here complete UFO from a few years back. I made a bag for oldest daughter back then with these colors and fabrics and I still love them today. My scraps keep showing up in my scrappy plays. She practiced here long arm quilting as well. She did a gorgeous job for just practicing. Marcia, I hope you return in March!
Roni also showed right at 7. We were sitting in one of the classroom, personally guided by Nick, when I felt like it was college again waiting for a late professor. The smart phone quickly revealed a Facebook entry around 5 and an email from Kelly alerting us to the cancellation. Well, by that time I had closed the Ipad and was making dinner, thinking these are hardy ladies, especially from my perspective January and February had worse roads! It was great fun meeting Marcia and Roni. Roni showed us pictures of the fabric she will be using for her first baby quilt.....more to come on this quilt....hopefully April 7----- during spring break for most school districts!
Today's inspiration involves flying geese with a slash!
A modern take on old birds.... Hope to see you all in April!
Wish i could have been there to see this up close. Her quilting looks awesome!
