Jean R made this.
Linda made this and Leslie quilted it.
If anyone knows whose quilt this is, please let me know so I can give credit.
Lydia made a crossbody bag
Patti sold raffle tickets for the sons of Norway quilt. She had extra t-shirts so made pillows.
With the sports-themed t-shirts we brought and Patti provided, we worked on a T-shirt quilt for donation.
We will meet in the park! Bring your Show & Tell.
Jean R just got this back from Leslie who quilted it.
Most brought fabric tubes already made.
A suggestion was to turn them by using a darning needle.
For more bulk, the tubes can be filled with cord.
If not filled, flatten the tubes with the seam on one flat side that can be positioned facing the wrist.
Use a binder clip to hold the 3 tubes together and braid them.
Terry brought bar clamps for the closures. Buttons also work.
Lots were made:
Jean R handed out instructions for the t-shirt quilt(s) we will make for donation.
Ruth made this entirely from her stash.
Sandra O’s niece made this.
Jean R made the previous mystery blocks.
Joanne presented a lantern block.
Terry presented a block she saw on YouTube.
Some of these were completed during the meeting.
Terry had planned to teach us to make bracelets, but there are complications. Se she’ll let us know the new plan when she can.
It was great to see so many members and guests for this project-oriented meeting!
We were saddened to learn of Janet Kime’s passing.
Patti has been attending a Norwegian themed summer camp for years. This quilt is made from the camp t-shirts.
Patti participated in a Roxanne class for bear paws years ago. This quilt was the result. She says one of the blocks isn’t oriented correctly. Can you find the one?
Jean S made a new cross-body tote from a Pendelton wool and wax canvas. The pattern is Fremont by Klum. https://klumhouse.com/products/fremont-pattern
Ruth made this baby quilt for donation entirely from her stash!
Lydia made another Mondo bag.
Lydia made this quilt from a jelly roll. She says she’ll do “no more bias!”
Sandra O’s niece made both of these quilts and Leslie quilted them.
The instructions were a little confusing, so we all appreciated Leslie’s help.
Some of us put the cork on the outside of the basket and some put it on the inside.
Joann and Terry will present blocks.
Joann handed out a cut list:
Watch your email for Terry’s cut list.
Bring your sewing machine, fabrics, etc. to the May meeting.
Jean S made a new purse that will be ideal for sporting event and concert attendance. It's a Sallie Tomato pattern called "Stadium Bag" and made from clear vinyl. The website has a video too.
Lydia made this bag using splash fabric (laminated cotton). It was a free pattern and is perfect for her niece's wet swimsuit.
This is the bag rolled up to contain the wet garment for travel.
Lydia is getting her first grandchild. This minky-backed crib quilt is for the baby's trip home.
Sandra O's "Legends of the Northwest" is now quilted (by Leslie) and is almost ready for the QA show.
Here are some that were made at the meeting.
Sandra made a math error in the 9-patch instructions. As written, the block finishes at 12.5". There are three ways to fix it, depending on whether you've started it, have, or haven't finished it.
1. If you haven't started it, disregard the sizes given for the 9-patch pieces. For a 12" block, each little square actually finishes at 1 1/3" each. Hence, you could make this 9-patch by foundation piecing and not have to measure that odd size.
2. If you've finished the 9-patches but not sewn them to the other pieces, you could reduce the size of all 5 of the blocks that are NOT 9-patches by 1/2".
3. If you've finished the entire block, you can reduce the size of the sashing by 1/4" on all 4 sides.
Here are some that were made at the meeting.
Cork buckets. The guild will provide the cork lining. We need to bring our sewing machines and any fabric we want to use to form the outside of the bucket (see the January meeting post for a picture of Sandra O's bucket).
