Club Notes - August 9, 2023

 It was another very hot day outside, but 15 ladies braved the heat to enjoy the air conditioning in El Santiago this afternoon.  I brought a box of miscellaneous donated fabric, our 6.5” squares, some batting scraps, wrap n zap, and insul-brite.   We even had one new Villager checking us out to see if she wants to join our club.  Today’s objective was to make some more tissue holders for the October sale.  A couple of ladies cut and pressed the pieces, and Mic sewed them.  We now have about 2 dozen of these completed.

Show and Tell: 


Carolyn Grasso made a couple of microwave potato bags.


Mic Pickard turned an orphan applique I gave her into a great tote bag.


Ceal Pedersen took a pile of quilt blocks that were donated home last week and came back today with a complete quilt top.


Pat Pipa showed a garden flag she completed.



Bev Minnerly turned in a bunch of potholders 


and 2 dog bed sleeves.


Diane Placek explored YouTube andmade a “fish” drawstring bag


 and a wallet.


Ellen Hein showed 2 quilt tops she is working on













 and some red, white and blue squares she sewed.




Jean Peters made a couple of walker bags



Patty Woodruff showed a tote she made from a jelly roll 


and a pencil case.



Audrey Phillips showed a gift she made for a new neighbor. It consists of 2 rolls of toilet paper(with a face), a dish towel, and a scrubby, all nicely packaged.  


She also made some tissue holders and some strip blocks she is working on.



I showed some hot pads I finished.  These came from a bunch of 6.5” squares of fabric and matching batting squares.  I just added fabric from our stash..


+++++++++++++++

Next week Ceal is going to show us the correct way to nest seams when making a quilt.  I will probably bring the same supplies I did this week.  If anyone wants something else to work with, let me know. As a reminder, we keep some zipper bag fabric, zippers, buttons, and the box of large orphan blocks in the closet.  You can pull any of those out to explore any week.

 

Hope to see you next week.
