More Progress!

We have been making progress on our quilts. One group met Thursday night and one group on Friday morning. We're kind of getting mixed back and forth on our groups and everyone is progressing at different levels. So it's KINDA Crazy! But I think we're having fun. We keep taking pictures of everyone's quilt strips, but I forget to take pictures of the quilters having FUN!!! Sorry! I'll try to do better.

Next Class:

Thursday: Nov. 6th; 7 PM; Lauri's house

Friday: Nov 7th; 10 AM; Lauri's house

Questions? Leave comments or email me and I'll do my best. Also, I've started a blog about the basics and tips on quilting. So check it out! http://basicallyquiltng.blogspot.com

Another Class Down!

Well, we had lots of fun on Thursday (23rd). We missed those who had to be to Stake Leadership, but those who came learned to use a rotary cutter and we cut strips and decided on layouts. We meet again this Thursday (30th). Bring what you've completed and we'll go from there. You don't need to bring your rotary mat (I have enough!).

Bring your:
Rotary Cutter and rulers
Sewing Machine and
Basic Sewing Kit

We used a digital camera to decide which way they wanted to place their strips! So Much FUN!!

So Here is how it goes.

The Friday Class is going to be Friday; October 31st (yep it's Halloween) 10 - 12 AM Lauri's House.

Thursday Class is the 23rd. See you all there. 7:00 PM

I know there are several of you that missed the 1st class but want to come and getting together to catch you up is going to be a pain for everyone. So pretty much, you all come on Friday morning. So I'm gonna do some explaining on the blog and email you the fabric requirements. Then you can bring the fabric and we'll get stuff cut and possibly stay after everyone else and catch you up on things. K? Email me if you didn't understand. Also, Watch the blog for some ideas for picking out fabric and what you'll need to bring.

Happy Quilting!

FYI

Thursday Evening: Don't Forget! Class this Thursday, 23rd at Lauri's House; 7:00 pm My apologies to those who can't attend due to Leadership meeting. Contact me and we'll get you caught up!

For Friday morning class attendees: We are changing the date. I can't do the 24th any more. I am open to the 31st, but it is Halloween. Please let me know what works for you and I'll get the new date posted on the blog ASAP!

Thanks!

If you want to see some almost finished quilts, go check out Janette's blog!!! If you scroll down, you can see she has 2 almost finished. WTG!

Happy Quiltin'

Another Successful Group!

We had our Friday Morning Group meet on Friday the 10th and had a good showing and had fun talking quilting! Ok well, I had fun talking Quilting and I think everyone else did too. There were lots of questions and hopefully enough answers.


Session 2 will be on

Thursday, October 23rd; 7:00 pm &

Friday, October 24th; 10:00 am


If you are still interested in attending, but haven't been able to get to the 1st Session, please email me or leave a comment and we'll get together and get you caught up.


For Session 2 Please Bring:


All the Yummy Fabric you found to make your quilt with! I can't wait to see what everyone brings.


Rotary Cutter
Self-healing cutting mat
Rotary cutting ruler; needs to be at least 12 x 6
Scraps to practice cutting strips

ALSO. . .

Bring your sewing machine and basic sewing supplies.


If you are REALLY nervous about using that razor sharp rotary cutter, you can buy a Klutz glove. These were developed by Fons & Porter. Sometimes you can find them in the store, or search online for one. These are worn on the hand that holds the ruler, so if you accidentally slip it will protect that poor ruler hand that bares the brunt of those kind of mistakes!!


We will cut strips, and sew and press them together. You will have homework!! Yippee! feels like you're back in school.

Janette and Amy stayed for awhile after everyone left and kept sewing. It was FUN! Can't wait to get sewing next week!
