October 2, 2023

The October 2, 2023 TAGY meeting was held in the U.W. Extension office meeting room #2070 in the Park County Complex Building. There were 19 members/guest: Pam H, Jan W, Jeanne, Carol B, Barbara M, Sue B, Rusty, Lili, Laura, Ben, Judy, Ginger, Alice, Ellen D, Pam M, Vanda, Colleen, Susie, and Lori.

 

Pair/Pear/Pare: Brief discussion on possible venues for our Pair, Pear, Pare challenge. Members are checking on two possible places in Powell and the Meeteetse Museum during the annual Christmas stroll.

 

The November program:  Jan W, Sue B, and Lori will feature collage quilts with tips and tricks using Steam a Seam, a fusible product.

 

November challenge is discarded thread. Pam H brought two boxes of old thread and passed examples of how she has used thread for embellishments or making fabric using a variety of techniques. 

 

Today's Program: Barbara M with help from Laura showed us Iris Paper Piecing. Barbara did a tremendous amount of work to make this a fun and entertaining program.
