There were 14 of us at today’s meeting. I brought the 10” squares, some clear vunyl and lots of quilted fabric for today’s project. I also pulled the big blocks out of the closet and Mic brought 3 bins of fabric for everyone to look through.
Show and Tell:
In one of our donations we received a bunch of pretty 7” x 16” items we called long trivets for the sale. Very few sold so Mic Pickard decided to find a way to use them. She made a mason jar cozy, to dress up gifts of soup for neighbors. She challenged the group to find other ways to use these.
Bev Minnerly showed 2 pillowcases.
Anne Knoff showed an apron
and a charity quilt she made.
Ceal Pedersen showed a quilt she made from her husband’s shirts.
Diane Saculla took a Santa panel from our donations and made a quilt for a friend.
Today’s demo was on how to make a project organizer
bag. Since this has a clear front you
can put the pattern in front so you can see what the project in the bag is. I have several of these for my UFO’s and
planned projects, and can always use a few more. I actually made 1 during the meeting and
started another one. I saw several
ladies cut fabric and vinyl to make one.
After the meeting Mic and I went to storage. We put away the party supplies from last week and pulled most of the quilts out. We left a few of the largest to save them for the Sheriffs' Youth Ranch grads. Mic took the no-batting quilts to give to Project S.O.S. and I took the rest home with me. I will record the measurements of the ones I took, put some aside for Leesburg Maternity ward, and give the rest to the Christian Care Center in Leesburg.
When we were in storage we found a large bag of Christmas
fabric, mostly fat quarters. Mic will
bring these to next week’s meeting for anyone to use. You can make something for charity or for
yourself. I will bring a pattern for a
Christmas stocking.
See you next week.
