January 2023 - Virtual Meeting

 Our celebrations are over, my tree is now down, however, there still seems to be chocolate at my house. I hope you all stayed safe and didn't get caught by any of the weather we had over the holidays.

In the months before Christmas, a group of quilters at Kanata United Church took on the task of making 10 banners for the walls of the church for Advent and Christmas. Many of these ladies are also members of Poole Creek (or former members). The banners are two sets of 5, in mirror image to go on the east and west sides of the sanctuary.


The fabric was mostly donated from our stashes and from the church quilt group's stash. One banner was added each week of Advent, and the final one was hung for Christmas Eve. Lovely work ladies (I just put on bindings).

Now on to our individual projects.

Doreen missed the last Show and Tell, but was right on time for this one. She sent us pictures of her Christmas wall hangings.





Joy is making a Minecraft quilt for her grandson. She procrastinated in starting and in the meantime, he got promoted to a queen size bed. This should keep Joy busy. She got 4 blocks done this past week, and has 26 more to go. She is trying to make it entirely from her scraps.


I got a new phone and it didn't fit in my purse, so I decided to make the phone a new bag. This is the Findley Phone Wallet. I added a crossbody strap because I like to have my hands free. The fabric has cats, of course.




Teddy Bears make excellent props for small bags.

Just a small collection of pictures this month.

Our next show and Tell will be Feb. 6.
