NEXT MEETING: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH

MEDINA LIBRARY

6:30 PM

 

PROGRAM: TEACUP PINCUSHION

Bring a teacup (not a family heirloom as we’re going to hot glue the pincushion into the cup) and your favorite embroidery needle. Tammy will provide batting, fabric and embroidery thread…as well as the glue gun. It’s all handmade, so not machines needed. It sounds like a fun gift to make for special sewing friends.

 

OCTOBER MEETING NOTES

 

Jana Osbourn, County Extension Agent gave an interesting program with handouts on “Cleaning Green”.

For some of us, the ingredients were associated with childhood memories–the good old products our mothers used are back in style, environmentally friendly, and still work.  Thanks to Jana for an interesting program.

 

We had one birthday girl to enjoy Lu’s special “cake”.

 

 

And Evelyn added to the decorations with some of her special socks.

 Show and Tell included Margaret with a child size Raggedy Ann doll she is making for a granddaughter and Linda with a Grandmother’s Garden quilt she is building.

       

 Tammy brought one of the finished chair backs that we tried to start at our last meeting (see October meeting notes).

Since that meeting enough backs have been completed for the whole class. The students and teacher are very happy with them. Joyce will finish 5 more as extra’s in case of need. Tammy also had good news about the last fundraiser quilt. Her friend Melanie who has a long arm machine will quilt it for us without charge.

Instructions for the last two blocks of our block of the month project were handed out along with instructions about fabric placement in the block for  #12.

 

 

 

 Hope that helps. Tammy suggested looking at “Moda Basics” fabrics for border and sashing if you want to separate the blocks when you put them together.

 

Hope to see you all next week.
