Jessica L. gave a presentation on quilt labels, and we discusses/showed examples of our own work. Some of these were machine or hand embroidered, or hand printed.
Jess also gave a mini tutorial on Google Reader (to read blogs) and Pinterest (pretty much the most inspirational place on the web!).
Spotlight on Lori Saporito - pictures to come!
Challenge: Members shared their Madrona Road projects.
Finally, we had show and tell. Pictures will be added soon!

Next Meeting - March 12, 2013
Swap: Create a 4"x6" postcard - one side must be paper pieced. Draw your own or adapt something from online. You may use interfacing (timtex) or batting, or both. You can either finish the edges or not. Abstract or not... you choose!
Challenge: Add a label to something that does not already have one and bring it to share.
Discussion: Thread - bring in samples of your favorites and we will discuss quality, use, etc.
Spotlight: Joyce Hughes.
P.S. Sorry I couldn't make it in February! See all of you March 12!
-Jess S.
