April Meeting Recap


Zoom meeting # 2 was a success! Thank you everyone for attending.

Members overwhelming agreed having a May Sew Day would be great! The board will plan it.

Mentor and Mentees

Some of our members have been able to meet even in these challenging times. We can't wait to see the results. If you need help on how to set up a virtual meeting, please let Elisa Salas know and she'll help you out. You can contact her at info.lincolnmqg@gmail.com.

1/2 Square Triangles - 6 Ways

Our education part of the meeting was hosted by our very own Jennifer McKitrick. You can see her video here where she shows 6 ways to make 1/2 square triangles for projects big and small.

What's Your Color Zone? 

Your homework, should you choose to accept it, is to find your color zone. This will help you to identify what are your favorite colors and how wide ranging they are in hue and value.  In the April meeting agenda post, we featured a video on how to find your color zone. What an eye opening exercise! Please post your color zones on the April meeting or April recap posts.
You can find the video here, too.
