Barb H hand-dyed scarves |

Alice's Thumb pin-cushion |
Ginger showed a project she is working on that includes knitting, beading, and then felting. She will show the finished project at a future meeting. It is a small project that she can take with her as she is traveling.
Jan H has a felting machine and she played with various fabrics to make a coin purse. She showed
both the finished one, and the one that didn't work out and was a learning experience. She also said we are welcome to use her felting machine.
Jan H's dragonfly |
Jan also made a yellow-green dragonfly wall hanging experimenting with using Mylar and Misty fuse. Yellow-green was our "color of the month".
Lili showed a wall-hanging and a project she made for Quilting Arts.

Barbara P told the group about next September's Yellowstone Quilt Fest which she is heading. She hopes our group will participate and passed around a sign-up sheet for the different committees available. More information will be available as time goes on.
Linda's tote bag |
Linda M provided the Program on adding Texture with folded fabric techniques.
The two techniques shown were a Continuous Prairie Points variation and Hexagon Chopkey as discussed in "Folded Fabric Elegance" by Rami Kim. Linda showed examples of two tote bags she made using these techniques.
Next month's program will be given by Karling, and our color for March is Green.
Linda, the program was awesome. Thank you for sharing the techniques, I have a few plans to use them in a future quilt.
