New digs

Check out our new digs! We don’t even have to lug tables and chairs!

We had many new quilters to begin 2012. They learned along with us how to use Thangles to make triangle squares. We each made 2 blocks of donated fabrics. We’ll sew these blocks into a quilt, machine quilt it and donate it to a local veteran’s home.

We also had some learning how to sew by making a 10 minute table runner.

New Stuff

Debbie's Quilt

Kaye's First Applique Quilt

: Trying to learn ragg ruggs.

I'm lost again.

The Stitchers have been quilting both at home and during meetings. We helped Debbie finish a quilt for her son. She hasn’t been feeling up to quilting. It’s a huge scrap quilt! Please check it out.

We also learned (at least we tried learning) how to make a ragg rugg with a toothbrush. You can see by the puzzled looks that we still have a bit to learn and need practice. I won’t repeat any of the interesting conversations overheard! Sandy did an excellent job attempting to teach us twisted stitchers.

Gift Bags

We’ve been busy! At our September 21 meeting, we made Christmas gift bags. No sewing, no needles or pins. Only irons, pencils, fabrics and fun! We learned how to use fusible web to create all kinds of gift bags. Add 2 or more name tags per bag so they can be recycled. We are green here at TSQG.
