February Meeting

I felt like I was coming home after not seeing the group since November. It was fun to see everyone and to catch up with what everyone was doing.

Our meeting was a little different this time as we did some playing with glitz and glam fabrics instead of our usual fabrics. Using silks, lames, glitzy and shiny fabrics can be used to create unusual designs. These fabrics are much more fluid than cottons and beg to be pleated, scrunched and manipulated. Their ability to be manipulated and overlaid with yarns and ribbons and other embellishments make the pieces that are created more like haute couture from Paris than a quilting group. But there in lies the fun.

I can’t wait till the next meeting to see how they all turned out. Happy sewing!
