Last Sunday, I attended our first bloggers get together for 2014. This year Maree has found us a lovely room at a Community Centre in Ormeau.We had a fun time as usual with lots of talking, laughing and of course catching up with what we had been doing over the break.
This year several of the group are doing a Row Along Quilt so we brought our first row which had the theme of flowers. Thank you Teresa for allowing me to borrow a couple of photos.

This is the only time we will have show and tell until the quilt top is finished. We will swap bags each month and add another row until finally we'll get our quilt top back. It will have 7 rows with each person in the group having added a row. This month we are to make a pinwheel row to add to the first one.
Here is a close up of my flower row. I added 2 stitchery blocks along with 6 flower ones to make my row.

Also this year we are having a Birthday Club and this month it was Lynda's birthday so here are the fat quarters she received.
I had a lovely day and am looking forward to our next one in March.
Till next time........ Happy Stitching............
