The next meeting of White Rose Quilters will be Wednesday 23rd October.
Liz Briggs will be showing us how to make a 2 inch box/caddy
Members will need to bring :-
1 piece of main fabric and 1 piece of lining fabric 4 3/4 by 8 1/2 inches
1 piece of iron on interfacing 4 1/2 by 8 1/4 inches - please iron interfacing to the main fabric.
Hand sewing kit.
We are issuing a Christmas Challenge to all White Rose Quilters members that will be judged at the Christmas meeting on Wednesday December 18th.
We have asked that everyone brings a "goody bag" to the October meeting containing 6 to 8 items.
These are to include fabric and other embellishments, lace, net, felt, ribbon, braid, beads, buttons, fancy threads etc.
The bags should have a Christmas theme but be as varied and exciting as members can make them to encourage everyone to participate in the challenge.
The "goody bags" will be exchanged anonymously at the October meeting.
Members will then have 6 weeks to design and make an item of their choosing, using the contents of the bag, plus anything from their own stash they wish or need to add to complete the item.
My hope is that this challenge will encourage everyone to be creative and innovative.
I will post photographs of the results in December.
I really enjoyed making the little box at the group last night. Liz was really helpful - even though I back my fabric with bondaweb instead of interfacing!
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to get a little pattern for paper piecing with my Christmas Challenge bag - and some really lovely fabric, buttons and braid. This is a proper 'challenge' for me!
