Excellent Show and Tell in February!

The meeting began with a bit of confusion and adjustment due to some maintenance being undertaken, causing a temporary outage of electricity and no elevator to the auditorium.  For a while, we thought we'd have to use our cell phone flashlights to see!

But the lights came on and, except for the lack of a sound system, all was well!  One advantage to being downstairs is it's warmer.  (maybe too warm for those of us who enjoy frequent "personal summers")

Connie Grimsley accepted a facebook challenge to make Kathi  an art piece about a year ago.  And finally finished it. 

Nancy Ellers added some wallpaper and flooring to her embroidery to finish this little redwork piece.

A beautiful modern quilt using some "ugly" fabric Nancy had in her stash.

Tracy made a bowl full of little wool hearts while riding in the car on a long trip
