January 20, 2026 – Meeting will be a zoom meeting
Emma Jane, from Raleigh, NC, who has quilting in her blood, will help us work through our UFOs (unfinished projects) that have not seen the light of day in a while. This program is not to shame any of us, but to inspire us to get going on those UFOs, and she will provide some strategies on how to not accumulate so many UFOs. Emma Jane will be joining us again at our May meeting for a mid-year boost on completing our UFO’s.
In conjunction with our emphasis on completing UFO’s in 2026, the guild will be holding a drawing at our September Tea. Each UFO a member completes in 2026 will earn a chance to win a gift card to a local quilt shop.
March 17, 2026 – Fabric Swap Meeting at 6:30 pm
Where: The swap will again be held at Mary Carr’s home, 333 Doulton Place, Town and Country, MO 63141 (Enter on Ladue Road) Please only park on Mary’s side of the street or in her driveway.
What: Bring those WWIT (What Was I Thinking) fabrics, fabrics that you no longer love, patterns that you know you will never use, quilt books that caught your eye one day but they are now just collecting dust in your quilt room, notions, threads, specialty rulers that seemed really cool but you never used and anything else quilt related that you no longer love.
This year, we will accept UFOs as well. The speaker at our January meeting gave us some tips to help us let go of UFO projects. You can clear out some of these works in progress and make more room in your studio to buy more fabric! If you are donating a UFO, include the pattern, any completed and partially finished blocks and the rest of the fabric that goes with that project. Put a note with your name and cell phone number on it so that if the person who takes that UFO has any questions, they can call you. Place everything in a large clear plastic bag so that members can see what they are getting. Extra large Ziploc bags are great. If you don’t have Ziploc bags, please put some tape over the opening of the plastic bag so that nothing gets lost.
Food: Please bring a snack to share. Nothing with peanuts or nuts, please!
The Fabric Swap is on St. Patrick’s Day, so wear your green or the leprechauns may pinch you.
