Hello Everyone!
We had a great meeting, January 14th! It was wonderful to see everyone, meet new guests and new members!
Our February Block Challenge is to make a napkin! Yes, a napkin. 
A napkin of the modern esthetic, naturally. We thought that in an effort to reduce our impact on the environment, it would be cool if everyone made a napkin to use at our meetings. If enjoy making one, make a set for your home! Have fun doing this and don’t stress about it. I searched online for some tutorials. Here are a few to give you some ideas.
Have fun! ~ Maureen
I found some great napkin tutorials online:
Sew Mama Sew by Elizabeth Hartman
Sew Mama Sew by Ashley of Film in the Fridge
The Purl Bee from Purl Soho
Prudent Baby from Jacinda and Jaime
Using your rolled hem foot by BariJ
Another by Blissfully Content (Julia)
Hi Everyone!
Our January Board Meeting will be held Monday, January 21st, at a new location, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Our board meetings are always open to VMQG members.
We will be meeting in the conference room and will begin at 6pm. Click here to access a map of the Main Street location of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. It’s in the old Barnes and Noble building on the corner of Main and Telephone Road.
CB&TL requires that all attendees purchase “something” from them. A cup of coffee or tea shouldn’t be too expensive.
FYI – We are NOT supposed to bring in outside food, which is understandable since they are providing the meeting room for free.
If you are not a board member or committee chair and plan on attending please leave a comment on this post.
Thanks!
Maureen
