There were 12 of us at today’s meeting, including 1 potential new member. The maintenance people still have not gotten whatever it is that they need to finish the cabinet project, so we are still missing some of our tables to work on.
There were no other announcements today.
Show and Tell:
Louise Stem made 6 more pillowcases for us to choose from for the Ranch graduates.
Janet Murtaugh made a bunch of toys to be stuffed, and showed a simple Easter craft called boo-boo bunny. It is made starting with a washcloth. Janet will demo this next week.
Robin Barrack showed 2 sets of pillowcases.
Ceal Pedersen showed 16 more stuffed toys that she painted the faces on to finish them for us.
I showed the tote I made from last week’s demo. This one was made using 38 6.5” squares and some firm Pelon fusible interfacing. I think I will add another row next time I make one, to make it a little deeper.
I also showed a quilt I made (for myself), using Gnome panels. If you zoom in, you will see that each gnome around the border is holding a little animal (stuffy?).
We are trying to use as many of the squares as possible, so
I encouraged everyone to take some of the squares home and make a tote or quilt top. The squares are also available for any other
charity project.
I had planned to show how we can make draw string backpacks
using squares, but the week got away from me. I’ll schedule this for a future
week. The Sheriffs’ Youth Ranch will appreciate
these for the summer camp kids.
Hope to see you next week.
Lois
