All my beautiful leaves are now on the lawn. Usually by this time, they have all blown over to Canada. Perfect day to head out to the guild meeting to see more beauty.
When I arrived at the guild for sew day, there were only a few people working on projects. Here, hand stitching the binding to this chandelier quilt.
This lady had used graft paper and pencil colors to draw her next project.
This lady was seam ripping her recycling bag to switch the handles.
Last month it was decided that we would have a Star block raffle. If you put a star in you got a chance to win all the stars. We had twenty squares. I didn’t win.
I did however win a ‘Sweet Spider’ wall hanging or table runner pattern.
The Demonstration
The lady doing the demonstration this month, showed two techniques. First, ‘Steam-a-Seam,’ using it to hold binding in place so you don’t need pins or clips. I might need to try it.
The second demonstration was similar to paper piecing, but without the paper. She explained how to place the pieces, trimming and finger pressing to get the beak, and other pieces, in the right place. She showed a couple different birds she made for another table runner.
Sew & Tell
First up, a paper pieced poinsettia.
A harvest themed lap quilt.
Deuteronomy 6:23 Then He brought us out from there, that He might bring us in, to give us the land of which He swore to our fathers.
I showed my vintage quilts from my recent blog, Red Hot Prices, and asked members for input on how to clean the aging spots and ideas for quilting. One thing most seemed to say was not to worry too much about the aging spots as it contributes its being vintage.
Next, a double wedding ring done by a woman and her mother.
This woman made a picnic pack complete with placemats, napkins, tablecloth and a bag to put in all in.
This lady showed Christmas cards and a Christmas table topper she made using her embroidery machine.
Another successful day at the guild with more great ideas. Even my beautiful sunflowers are going down, but not before the bee gets the last of the pollen.
Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
