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.

Debbie's Quilt

Kaye's First Applique Quilt

What?
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.
