Trip to Whittles
We took a road trip to Whittles Fabric Store in Smith's Grove, Kentucky, by way of the Porky Pig restaurant. As usual we did the Northeast Quilting Friends scenic route, but, made it to our destinations. It's always nice to see the back roads and byways of Kentucky.
Even though the store was somewhat understaffed, we were able to come home with an ample amount of material.

Quilters' Day Out was a BLAST!
Whew! QDO is over. It's a one day event that shows off the Guilds in the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society's District 6. Most all were in attendance and showed some of their class projects and did demonstrations.
Our group showed our retreat class and a table topper class.
Loyce and Sheila won a door prize.
Shirley showed the basket lady how to make a basket-she is a master basket weaver herself. That was a class we did as well.
We had 3 ladies participate in the Viewer's Choice Quilt Challenge, no one one, but, it inspires us to finish something with a deadline to complete.

Getting Ready for Quilters' Day Out!
I think our log cabin heart shaped block class went well. I hope you all learned something from our sharing of tips at the beginning of the day. I know I sure did!
Just a reminder, if you would like to continue working on your log cabin heart quilt, you are welcome to attend the Friday session of Northeast Quilting Friends. We will meet in the lower level from 10:00 to 1:00.
Also, we've collected our money for the door prize basket to be given away at Quilters' Day Out and will fill it Tuesday.
Next Tuesday, March 8th, we will be having our QDO planning session. This is where we will decide how we will decorate and "woman the booth" off and on during the 10:00 to 4:00 day.
This year you can shop all day, the vendors won't close down for the 3 speakers. The speakers will be located immediately to to left, in the Julia Belle room, closed off from the main room-it can hold around 500 people.
Besides the shopping, and looking at all the guild displays and demos, you can learn some new tips and techniques from the speakers and also vote on the quilt challenge-I believe our quilt group will have 3 entries. In that room, you can see the organ donor quilt club and see the award winning Happy Heart quilts-Aliens from Planet Quilt.
For your $3.00 and a donation (money or groceries) to Mom's Closet, you will get another jammed packed day of quilting fun!!
Happy Quilting!

Announcing a Second Group is Forming at Northeast Christian Church
God has blessed us with a very nice group of women who like quilting and visiting and caring about each other. It really is great to see the group grow and our meeting room is almost at capacity. I appreciate everyone’s enthusiasm inviting people to attend our group and I firmly believe we should never turn anyone away who would like to join our group.
In keeping with this philosophy of never turning anyone away, we will be starting a second quilt guild at Northeast Christian Church. The current group will continue to meet on Tuesday in the same room as now, 10:00 to 1:00 and the new startup group will meet on Friday in the lower level room, 10:00 to 1:00. I plan to lead both groups and you may attend either or both sessions! Also, please tell others of this opportunity so that we may have two large, active quilting groups!
This expansion was sure to come and now it is here. It is my hope and prayer that we can grow in grace and caring for our new members as well as keeping our long time members happily quilting together. This is a wonderful opportunity to make new friends and continue to learn new things.

It was so nice to see everybody
The holidays are over and we get to go back to our routine. The new church is being built right beside us and the progress is moving right along.
We had a fun day of catching up and planning our UFO's. We have 5 birthdays in the month of January so Marie made a crazy quilt birthday quilt for us.
Some of our members have been very busy bees over the month or so we've been apart and it was nice of them to bring their projects to inspire the rest of us.
Next week we are planning our 6 months schedule so bring any and all ideas for our brainstorming session.
