We did have show and tell between lunch and games:
Mary Kahlow showed a couple of placemats she made by copying the shape of an old one she had. She also told us about the number of lost pins and needles she found inside a couple of old pin cushions she took apart. Morale - never just throw out an old pin cushion.
Jane Motrinec made 2 pillowcases for Ryans Case for Smiles, a in-the-hoop little purse, and a tote bag to put it all in.
She also tried the fabric wrapped clothesline project but admitted she could not get it to curve so her bowl became a hot plate. Nice save!
Laura Tomich made 6 pillowcases for Ryans Case for Smiles.
Donna Rissman showed a cute flip-flop wreath and a gadget holder. (The wreath is definitely on the list as a future project.)
Dianna Gosselin definitely deserves the title of pillow case queen. She comes every week with a stack, but this week she outdid herself, making 19 pillow cases! Way to go.
Audrey Philips was finally able to join us again and she brought her completed fabric wreath. Great to have you back Audrey.
Chris Leedy wobbled in again on her crutches and we were happy to see her out and about. She showed 2 beautiful mug rugs with the names of her dogs, Parker and Pickles. Then she showed a project in the works and talked about the pattern and excellent "Starry Patriotic Templates" that went with it. The templates are unique in that each one works for 3 sizes and has perfect cut marks for the star tips. We're looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Mary Nazgiewicz made a great fidget quilt.
Carol Riggs showed a neck sewing caddy, consisting of a lanyard with places for sewing tools on the ends.
I showed my work in progress - the first few completed rows for this year's row-by-row contest.
Next week we will be back to having a project demo. I will send out supply info in a separate email. Hope to see you then.
