The December meeting of the Textile Artists of Greater Yellowstone met on Monday, December 5, 2022, in the Grizzly Room at the Cody branch of the Park County Library. In attendance were 17 wonderful women all sharing the same love of creativity: Jeanne, Jan W., Judy, Sue, Jan H., Chris, Linda, Alice, Barb P., Barb M., Kris, Pam, Carol, Ben, Vanda, Silas and Bobbie.
Christmas Party: Will be held on January 9, 2023, at NOON in the Grizzly Room at the Cody Branch of the Park County Library. It's a potluck! Also, it is a gift exchange with the theme of "Song." Be creative! If you bring a gift, you get a gift. But it is ok if you don't bring one...just come and enjoy each other's company. :). Bring food if you can. But if not, come and enjoy! There's always plenty!
Annual Challenge: The theme is "Pare/Pair/Pear." The quilt should be no larger than 100-inch perimeter. Irregular shapes are encouraged.
2023 Monthly Program: It's time for you to sign up to present a challenge! Please.
