February 2024 meeting

The business of the meeting included discussion of having a quilt show in 2025, our upcoming bus trip this summer, community service projects, and the Expo guild booth coming up in April.

After the meeting it was time for show and tell.  Last month our member Martha Hamilton taught a class on English paper piecing.  The students from the class shared with us their hand sewn creations.  We also were graced with many lovely quilt creations!

 

After show and tell, we enjoyed the sweetness of a Valentine dessert before the evening speaker.

Following our sweet break our speaker from the Cuyahoga County Library shared a program on the Innovation Center opportunities available at various libraries. Jesse Sanders, Manager of the Fairview Park Regional library gave the members the orientation class needed to continue on to use the Embroidery machine available at the Innovation Centers.
