I am cancelling the meeting tonight because to the cold! The temperature is supposed to be around 19 degrees by 8:00 tonight. Not fun to be out in. Enjoy your time at home. Stay warm. Don't forget to work on that UFO that is due next month!
Happy Quilting!

A New Year...2015
Happy New Year! It is a new year and in many ways, a new beginning. For the Quilt Guild, the beginning of a new year brings new programs...time to sign up! I think we actually have someone or something for each month this year. Thank you, to all who signed up and are so willing to share techniques, patterns, quilts, etc. If it were not for you, we would not have a Quilt Guild. I love seeing what you are doing, your ideas, your quilts, everything.
Our 3rd UFO Challenge is on! This is the 3rd year to do the UFO Challenge. If you did not sign up, you still can. It's not too late. You will need to list 6 quilts and number them 1-6. You pay $6 to be in the Challenge. We have already rolled the dice and number 2 came up. That means you have until the February meeting to complete the quilt you listed for #2. If you complete your quilt, you will receive a certificate and $1 back. Your name also goes into a drawing at the end of the year. If you finish all your quilts on time, you will have all your money back and a bigger chance to win the drawing. If you don't finish your quilt on time, your $1 goes into the "Pot" for the drawing at the end of the year. You also don't get your name in for the drawing. Mary won the money last year! I have a feeling that I will be contributing to the "Pot" a lot this year. It is great to see everyone's finished quilts and it is such a feeling of accomplishment to get them done on time. If you are in the Challenge, you have one month left to finish your quilt So, get busy! I need to get busy! I made 3 lists this year. One list are quilts that I have not finished piecing yet. My goal is more to get the top complete by the deadline, not so much finishing the quilt. If I do get it done, that will be a bonus! So, I have pretty much decided that the money from that list is donation to who ever wins the drawing at the end of the year. Another list is large quilts. Most of them are tops already, except the one that is #2 on my list. So, I have two quilts that I have not finished piecing yet for next month! My third list are small quilts. I did two lists last year, one of large quilts and one of small quilts. I did finish all my small quilts last year.
Our January meeting is scheduled for tonight. We have had some bad weather today, enough to cancel school. I am going to get out of the house and see how the roads are. If they are bad, we will not meet. If you feel like you don't want to get out in this cold weather, stay home. I am going to do the program tonight, because I don't think anyone signed up for January. Hopefully, I will be able to post some pictures later of what I am presenting.
Hope everyone is staying warm and enjoying your Monday!
Happy quilting!
