14 of us got together for this afternoon’s fun, including one new member. I brought my Go-cutter with the hexagon dies, along with the 10” and 5: squares. Everyone ha fun selecting squares to have cut into hexagons to make trivets and coaster.
Show and tell:
Carolyn Grasso showed a bag she made.
some walker bags made by committee,
Ceal Pedersen took a panel from our stash and turned it into a great child’s quilt.
and also made some potholders.
New Member Patty Woodruff took some fabric during her first trial meeting a few weeks ago and made some trivets for our sale.
Pat Pipa went after her ufo list and made a pillowcase and some mug rugs.
Audrey Phillips made a flamingo towel hanger for a friend.
She also brought in a bag full of embroidery projects she made over the years that are stand-alones. She offered them to the group to turn into useful items such as bags or walker bag décor.
I showed 3 of my completed UFOs –
an alligator quilt I made to give to the manager of Silver Springs State Park,
and 2 quilts my husband requested.
The first is an eagle themed quilt
and the 2nd is a train theme.
*********************
One of the items that sold well at last year’s sale was simple purses. Next week we will make some purses to sell, using a variation on the Lazy Girl purse pattern. This is easy and quick. We will have some fabric sets and other fabric for you to choose your own sets. You can cut the pieces at the meeting and, if you bring your sewing machine, can have one finished before the end of the meeting.
Hope to see you all next week.
