Comfort Zone
Carol Wiersma and Felicity Watson thank all who came to the January Comfort Zone workshop. Twenty six quilt kits were prepared from 10 inch squares most of which were made by
Liz Buchroeder, queen of the rotary cutter.
At the February 24 Comfort Zone Workshop
(9 to 3 in the Pool Pavilion), more kits need to be made and quilt tops need to be assembled.
Thanks to every one's good work last year, there are 10 quilts and 10 tote bags already completed.

Refreshments
 |
| Ginny Duhm baked us some fabulous goodies. Next month, the 3M's-Margaret, Marie and Marie. MMM! <^> |
Block Party
Gayle Gentile Royal won these to add to the 10 blocks she made.
See Show & Tell to see how she uses them.
For March, Beth Worrell presents "Irish Paid" appliqué.
Big hint--use lots and lots of starch, or gluestick or vodka and water mix to stiffen the strips. Another hint--don't stretch the strips as much as they beg you to stretch them.
About vodka and water. ....80/20 mix. Spray it on the fabric.
You can do whatever you want with the rest.

Gayle Gentile Royal bought the kit in the center thinking "How cute, all the little animals" only to find out the pattern had 500 pieces! She put it together and bordered it with Blocks of the Month she won a while back.Another thing about this quilt top, it's Gayle's one and only UFO this year. |

Quilting Snowball
Beth Worrell listens to a financial radio show where the host suggest listing your debts from the least to the most and then paying off the least first to get them out of the way. He describes it as a "debt snowball."She translated this idea to UFOs.
List your UFOs from the most completed to the least completed. Then finish the most completed and work down the list. This way you are more than likely to get rid of some UFOs.
It's a Quilting Snowball.
Here's a tip tutorial on how to keep strip width uniform by using a template.
and another from RTC about effective ironing.
