The March meeting will be on March 15th at my house. Bring at least 2 pieces of your fabric (you don't need huge pieces...) a needle, thread to match and scissors. We may also need 1 extra iron and if you want to try one of the machine applique' styles (like if you hated the hand quilting we did last time, hehehe) you should bring your machine (with thread to match of course.) I have paper-backed fusible web for everyone to try ($1/1000 won donation to the group fund.) Think about Shapes.
Remember you should bring your Challenge Wall-Hanging. Don't worry if you don't have it all quilted and bound....since we haven't learned binding yet. There is a good tutorial here: Connecting Threads on YouTube In case you wanted to learn more about possible stitching methods, here is a blog with great info and pics: turningturning.com (watch for the group of pics of other styles!)
And now that you are here, sign in to the blog (with the sign-in information I sent you earlier by email) and either add yourself as an author or post as "Cursed Quilt."
We are cursed, by the way. Amanda S says she can't make it because, dang it, her ultrasound is scheduled for the same morning. Maybe she will show up late and share her news.....here's to hoping we only have HAPPY reasons people will miss the meeting this month. (No vomiting, ER visits, car trouble, NO crisis of any kind!) My kids are getting their sick out of the way now. :) k.

Thanks--I was kind of stressed about the wall hanging since I don't know how to do most of it. We'll see how much is actually done by the 15th.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the name of the website you said you like to check for patterns?
ReplyDeleteThanks today was a lot of fun.
