We are in a "Winter Advisory" although it looks like all the bad weather (including 2-3 FEET) of snow is way north of us, it's possible we could get a little snow here Tuesday.
Our Tuesday sewing will be cancelled if Hanover County Schools are closed, so in the event we do get a little snow, just check the news to see if schools are closed - before you make the drive out to Montpelier. Some of you, Terri, Carole, Helen, Nancy and Betsy have a longer drive.
HOPE to see you all tomorrow! - Becky

Change the fabrics, to change the look!

Sew Together
TUESDAY SEWING - mark your calendar for January 27!
We are on the calendar with Hanover Parks and Recreation to sew the 4th Tuesday of each month - that's January 27.
Those of us who come and sew together know what a good time it is and welcome others to come sew and visit with us. A cold day might be a good day for us to make soup. Who's coming?

Membership cards
Do we need new membership cards for 2015? Does anyone feel like these are necessary?
I rarely am asked for my card in quilt shops, and I'm not sure there's any other reason why these are needed.
Please respond with your opinion!

More Designs - Annie's Star
Here are some more quilt designs by Vicki using our January Block of the Month.
Directions can be found here - these 12" blocks are easy to make from 2-1/2 and 4-1/2" squares - great for quilts for veterans.

JANUARY SHOW & TELL
Here are some pictures from Show & Tell at our January meeting:
Karen showed 3 different ways she used 4-patch blocks. She makes several donation quilts each month, and she's the only person we know who has NO UFOs!

Karen always creates happy scrappy quilts!

| Betsy made a quilt for a veteran using the January block of the month pattern, which she got at Saturday Sewing and went home and got busy chain-piecing this 2-color quilt - sure to be a hit with a veteran! |

Another beauty by Betsy - can you tell she likes red and black?   |

Another great scrap quilt made by Peg.  Julie had it machine quilted and just finished the binding at Saturday Sewing. CSQ is donating FRUIT LOOPS to QUILT BINGO, a cancer fund-raiser in May.  We ended the meeting with some nice door prizes, including this beautiful iridized patchwork dish, made and donated by Vicki. Peggy was the lucky winner! |

UFO Busting
Vicki here. I'm sorry I missed the meeting last night. I was off learning how to do letterpress printing. So far I can tell you that it's a great field for dyslexics. You really have to turn your brain backwards. Needless to say I had to set mine twice.
Had I been at the meeting I would have been encouraging you to take on the UFO challenge for this year! I think Julie had a great handout for dealing with UFO project and I'm going to up the ante with prizes. I'll draw a winner from everyone who posts a comment on the UFO post each month.
I hope you will consider participating and you will have the bonus satisfaction of finishing some projects!
To join the UFO busting go to this post and enter a comment telling us how many UFO projects you have and how old the oldest one is. So far the UFO count is up to 79 from 4 people!
It turns out that there is one member who is not qualified to enter the UFO contest. At Friday sewing Karen told us that she had 2 UFO projects but on further inspection we learned that they were both started in the past 2 weeks! KAREN HAS NO UFO PROJECTS!!! How does that happen?
Karen, I have a couple of baby quilt UFO projects if you want them. I found them recently and didn't even count them in my own count.
