Eighteen talented members of TAGY attended the February 6, 2023, meeting at the Cody Library, Grizzly Room: Jan W., Jan H., Carra, Vanda, Sylvie, Laurie, Kim, Sue B., Marybeth, Darlene, Kris, Susie, Barb M., Laura, Lili, Ben, Jeanne, Mary.
Challenge due at March meeting: Work on the Junk Journal that Jeannie taught us to make today.
Challenge also due at March meeting: February is National Embroidery Month. Embroider something and bring it to the meeting.
Annual Challenge: The theme is "Pare/Pair/Pear." The quilt should be no larger than 100-inch perimeter. Irregular shapes are encouraged.
Program for March: Jan H. and Alice will provide a lesson in circular weaving. Jan took orders for wooden circular looms. A bamboo embroidery hoop also works. If you missed putting in your order, you can order from: Thin Round Weaving Looms / Circle Looms / Wood Hoops With - Etsy The 6" seems popular. Wooden circular looms are reusable. Embroidery hoops are not.
TAGY Coffee Sponsorship for Pardners Cafe: Those who would like to contribute to sponsoring a week of coffee/tea at the Pardners Cafe at the library (where many of us eat lunch prior to the meeting) should give their money to Jan W. A week of sponsorship is $125 and TAGY will see their name on the "billboard" above the coffee bar.
THINK: About volunteering to present a program!
THINK: About a theme for our Christmas Party!
