Too Confusing?

I read over the last post and I was confused. So Let's try this.

Starter Class
Friday, October 10th, 10 AM; Lauri's House

2nd Class for Thursdays
Thursday, October 23rd; 7 PM; Lauri's House
If you missed the starter class and can't attend the Friday class, contact me and we'll do a make up before the 23rd.

Clear as Mud.

Also, we are making the brown/pink/green quilt (in fabric of your choosing) NOT the pillow pictured previously. I have it figured in 2 sizes; a baby quilt (37 x 37) or a throw (63 x 63). We are going to complete this quilt, when we are done the quilt will be tied/quilted and bound! Ready to use.

We DID It!

We had our first Thursday evening meeting. 7 ladies showed up! YEAH! I think they had a good time. One sister in particular is afraid of the 1/4" seams, but I assured her no worries! We're learning the rules of quilting and later we'll learn how to break the rules!

I had the camera sitting right there and I forgot to take pictures when everyone was here! What a loser I am.

So here's a picture of our project. Well, at least my version. Everyone has the assignment to go get fabric of their choice. I can't wait to see what they'll come back to our next meeting with.

We're going to start a Friday morning class for those who can't attend on Thursday evenings. Which BTW our next Thursday class will be October 23rd; 7:00pm; My house. I can't do next Friday, but let's shoot for Friday morning October 10th @ 10:00. We have a "partay" room next to the sewing room, so if you have small children and they can occupy themselves with toys and a movie and allow us to sew, you are welcome to bring them. This will be the starter class, so bring the items listed in the last post and we'll get to know some basics.
My mess, I still need clean up!!

We're going to have our first Quilt Class/Lesson on

Please Bring:

Sewing Machine (don’t forget foot pedal and electrical cord)
Thread (and bobbins)
Thread scissors
Rotary cutter & mat (if you have one)
Fabric scraps to practice on

Can't wait to get started! I've really totally decided on our first project! Check back for a picture.

What's Up?

Well, I guess I'm in charge of this quilting thing, and it's surely slow getting off the ground, but I'm going to try really hard to get this thing flying. Let's get started by saying this will be a sewing/quilting group. So anything goes. I'm open to suggestions for projects or probelm solving, or anything to do with sewing.


Our first project will be pillows. I will not be in town on the 14th, but I will send the pillows as samples, if it's not enough seeing the picture on the blog.
Morgan made these pillows for Candis with the scraps from Candis' quilt so this is EASY. You can bring your own fabric, OR I can make up some kits for those who don't want to have to think too much about picking fabric.

When we decide on a date to get this project started, I will post the supplies needed. ALSO, you are invited to bring your mutual age daughters with you and we can make this group a mother/daughter opportunity.
