2 Sue s Message I managed to complete a few UFO s over the holidays, so now I m on to some new projects. It s amazing how the anticipation and planning of a new project gets my adrenaline flowing. I am certain it s good for the health, so I have decided I m right and it s my excuse for my quilting madness! Happy 2015 to each and every one of you- I wish you health and happiness in the New Year! This is by far my favourite quilting time of the year. I am looking forward to the next great big snowstorm so that I can hole up in my sewing room and quilt my heart out! Monday night is going to be fun. I m anxious to see the pincushion creations and of course for show and tell. Sandra C. and I have also planned a Quick Curve Ruler workday. It s an opportunity to get together and work on our Metro Hoops and Metro Rings projects. It will be nice to have the support of others as we dig back in to our quilts, because if you are like me, and have put it aside since our classes, I m a little rusty. So mark your calendars for Wednesday January 14 th from 9 am to 3pm at St. Gertrude s Church Hall. Bring your lunch and $3 to cover our costs. Then start praying this isn t the day that one of my snowstorms will arrive! See you on Monday!
