Carol has recovered enough from her tutoring session last Wednesday to come along to help out with the Sewing Machine Foot Day.
 |
| Twin needling and cording were Carol's favourites |
Angie had a one to one with Christine with the buttonhole foot. Christine also showed how to use the Button sewing on foot. Never tried that myself.
 |
| Angie was impressed with herself |
Meanwhile around the room we had lots f projects going on
Di was foundation piecing a monkey wrench block.

| will see more of this another day |
Lynda has three baby quilts to make before July - another grandchild due and a couple of great Niece/Nephews too

Ena is sharing some of her wealth of knowledge with Annette

| or is it just GOSSIP!!?? |
We would like as many members to attend the Annual General Meeting on Monday 27th January at 2pm (during group time). We have Election and re Election of Officers that must be completed. It won't take long. The committee are very efficient.
Just a Heads Up regarding the Linus sessions next month. We thought that this year we would aim to make as many incubator size (16" or 18" x 20") this year. If you want to make some other size then go ahead, they will all be very welcome. We have purchased a box of Linus labels so that they can be added during the making, rather than us sewing them on later. That should save us a great deal of time.
***************
We have a seed of an idea about adding a Tutorials page to the Blog. We could start simply, with binding a quilt (getting nice corners makes all the difference) or how to make bias binding, with photos as an aid. What are your thought on this ladies?
Great idea to have a Foot day! I have just counted, and I have 7 feet on my machine (that I use most days) that have never seen the light of day! I am going to rectify that this weekend.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing what tutorials you come up with.
I thought the 'foot' day was really good. Love blogs that have tutorials.

DeleteWe need bias binding for the celtic all day. Tutorial needed soon please.

DeleteIt was a good day ,Many Thanks to June for getting everyone started and enthused on their twin needles and to all who shared their tips, I bet there will be some beautifully embroidered Linus Quilts.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the foot day,specially the twin needle. Have been practising June.Tutorial,'s sound good.
ReplyDeleteAs you asked Madam Chair, I am adding a comment!! I am happy to do a tutorial on binding a quilt and making sharp corners and I think I know someone in group who could give advice on joining the start and finish together. Mine tend to be 'cobbled'!!
