Brigitte has offered to bring along a large number of paint chips if you are having trouble finding some with your initials.
A reminder that CQA is doing the Postcard challenge again this year for the quilt show in Edmonton.

Catherine brought in some of the postcards she purchased at the show in Vancouver in 2018.
The Gallery Vertigo annual fibre art show is in March and the theme is - Change.
Tonny was our guest today and came to see the results of her Analogous challenge. She brought along her finished piece.
Sandi and Liz have works in progress to share.
Judith and Cath also brought along finished pieces.
We had some interesting show and tell from Liz. She brought in a scarf she eco dyed in a workshop with India Flint and another scarf she made with some lonely fabric found at Maiwa. Both beautiful!
Brigitte presented our first look at Symmetry. You really had to be there as she did an excellent job that I will not be able to replicate here. But here are pictures and the basics.
Most quilt blocks are symmetrical and can be divided equally.
Our task was to make an asymmetrical block by drawing 5 to 8 lines on a 2" square. Lines could be straight or curved. We marked the corners with numbers and indicated the top. Then we made a mirror image of the block. We are to colour them and copy them, make 16 of each. Cut them out and play with different compositions. If you have Electric Quilt you can make them on your computer and play with them there.
Brigitte's blocks and some print outs of her manipulating them on the computer in EQ. You can see the mirror image blocks in the upper left.
That is your homework for the next meeting, to have your paper blocks ready.
