The October meeting saw us making magic bags with Kate Smith.
These are small draw string bags that are very simple to make and have one drawstring to open the bag and a second to close it. Magic!
They are very quick and easy and can be made with Christmas or fancy fabrics and used instead of wrapping paper for presents.
WORKSHOP APPLI-PIECING WITH KAREN AND GILL
SATURDAY 19TH OCTOBER 2024
An interesting technique and very ably taught by Karen and Gill.
Personally, fabric glue and me have never really got on but even I managed not to get in a sticky mess whilst I aligned my pieces like a jigsaw. Then everyone concentrated on their machines in order to sew them together using invisible thread and a small zigzag stitch
10 members attended the workshop and everyone managed to come away with a finished or nearly finished piece of work. We look forward to seeing the results at the show and tell at our next meeting.
WORKSHOP LINUS QUILTS SATURDAY 11TH MAY
A great day when 10 members got together to sew Linus Quilts on Saturday following the talk by the Linus Quilt Representatives at our last meeting.
Lots of sewing and lots of chat. Members gave each other feedback and ideas on their quilts. It was a very productive retreat, away from the distractions that you get sewing at home.
The day was warm and sunny and we enjoyed lunch in the churches garden and scrumptious cake kindly provided by Janice.
Here are the end results.
