The snow is still with us and it is truly a winter wonderland out there.  Thankfully the roads are clear and getting around is a lot easier than when the snow first fell.  I hope you have all taken advantage of 'snow days' to get some piecing and quilting done.  I was able to piece together a couple of potato chip block quilts – do love that block!!
 
Our Comfort Quilt Sew Day was a tremendous success.  All 150 blocks plus a few extra donations were completed.  Three finished flimsies went home to be quilted and bound!  Many thanks to all who showed up on that day – we had a good turnout even though it was Family Day!  Extra thanks go to Cathy Floyd and Carol Coleman who took the bin of 'chips' home to sort into block packets.  They finished the task and we now have an extra 115 blocks to put together!  
(150 - wow!  Someone was a tough taskmaster!)
 
There is still time to pick up a Quilt Member Challenge package of three fat quarters that were generously donated by Northcott.  I’ve had a peek at a few works in progress and they are quite amazing!  Remember - the April guild meeting will be your last opportunity to pick up the fabric for this challenge.
 
Please read through the newsletter to confirm the dates for sew days and workshops.  There is still room in the March 9th workshop of the Three Dudes Quilt, and if you wish to switch from March 14th to the 9th, please do so at the March meeting.  There is a new workshop slated for April – Sunday the 27th and Monday the 28th at the Walkers Line location.  Check the newsletter for details.
 
I can feel the trees setting their buds; the birds are beginning their early morning songs; the brilliant red cardinals have returned to the yard; the sun is getting up earlier and earlier ..  can spring be far away?  In the meantime, Happy Sewing!  I'm off to work on my PhD (projects half done).  See you next Thursday.                                                                                        Katherine
