August Meeting

It was a wild time and very raucous but also very fun. We discussed the blocks everyone is working on for the memory quilt. We already have too many people wanting to participate and not enough people actually getting their blocks done! hehehe

If you are participating in the Korea quilt block project, please please please get some done. Lindsey, who actually has her blocks done(!) will be leaving in October. Blocks will only be "traded" so if you want one of her kimchi pot blocks you are going to have to have something to show for yourself by next month's meeting!

The blocks we did see, and the plans we heard all sound wonderful. I think this will be a great project. (If we ever get it done!)

I also showed how to do the top band on a pillowcase (if you are interested in making fun pillowcases either for gifts or charitable giving.) It is very easy. There are a million tutorials on youtube. Here is one: tutorial And here is a review in pics: pics And here is an excellent blog: blog

The blog also reviews how to do the dreaded french seam so you have no raw edges inside or out. Don't be scared, just try it. It is easy and there is something really lovely about FINISHING something. heheheh.

If you are not up to sewing even that today, take some time to tell everybody what you did for summer vacation sewing or post about your Korea blocks (even if all you have so far is a plan!)k.
