  2. Jessica – made a Valentine’s Day mini quilt using 2.5” squares. She also made a quilt top for a wall hanging made from a panel kit she bought from Primitive Gatherings called “Homegrown”. She also made three Christmas table runners she made from a quick tutorial she found by searching “15-minute table runner”

  3. Sue – Finished her Christmas quilt. She used a layer cake, some fabric with metallic gold, and Glide thread that added some sheen as well.

  4. Nancy – Made two manatee stuffed animals using a Monty Manatee pattern she found at Road to California. She shared a very easy coaster pattern she found as a possibility for an addition to our charity placemats.
