Sew In, Saturday 3/2/13:
We'll be working on our Scrappy Trip Along charity quilt at our Sew In. Here are some of the blocks we have made - that's Zelda, my kitty, being nosey!
Kat made ten beautiful squares - thanks so much! We also wish Kat well as she recuperates from surgery!
Please bring your sewing machine and any fabric you can donate for the back of the quilt or to make more blocks. I'll be bringing the batting. We'll be using a Quilt as You Go method to finish the quilt. So if you're interested in this technique I hope you'll join us.
For March Meeting:
We have another quilt planned. This time it will be a rainbow quilt made up of monochromatic Wonky Log Cabin blocks like this:
This fabulous quilt was made by Elaine Lane and we'll be using her tutorial to make our wonky blocks.
Make a monochromatic scrappy block in any color you like and finish it as an 8 1/2 inch square. I know that I'm inspired to start sorting my scraps!
