One order of business: We need to go through the closet at our current location and decide what to take with us to the new location in January. We could do it next month for the Auffle, or sometime in the following two months.
SHOW & TELL
Jean R made this for donation to Youth Care. The backing is fun and below the picture of the top.
Leslie abandon this Bonnie Hunter designed quilt years ago and picked it up again recently. After making a few more blocks, she finished it.
Marleen made this for donation.
Lydia made this from a new baby quilt pattern.
Lydia made this for her niece, whose sons are obsessed with "blue", meaning their dogs.
Lydia found this at a craft show: A zipper pull made from a wooden spool and some Kaffe fabric.
Projects
Barbara's snowman
This is her 50 year old version and she brought kits for us to make one from the precut pieces and notions. It's entirely kid-friendly in that it is soft and stuffed with polyester fiberfill.
Lydia's snap wallet / gift card holder
Lydia also brought precut pieces so that we could construct these on site. Instructions in brief:
- Cut 2 pieces from the pattern from a non-directional fabric and cut one from fusible interfacing
- Apply interfacing to the wrong side of the fabric intended for the outer side.
- With right sides together, start sewing at one of the marks on the long edge, and sew the long way around to the other mark.
- Turn it right side out and press flat.
- Edge stitch around the top. This is the flap on the holder that will hold half of the snap.
- Fold the wings in and edge stitch through all layers, so that the entire holder is edge stitched.
- Apply a snap so the flap can be secured to the body of the holder.
