Next Meeting Date
Hi all! Due to a scheduling project with the Pittsburgh Project, our next meeting will be August 12, 2012, from 1 to 4. Otherwise, we will meet the first Sunday of every month. Don't worry, we'll keep you posted.
This meeting will start with some brief business, and then a fabric scrap swap! Bring a gallon size freezer bag full of scraps to trade with everyone!
Our first workshop will be improvisational, or "improv" piecing
In our first PghMQG workshop, participants will have the opportunity to
get "out of the box," release their fears of improvisation, and learn
and practice 2 methods for improvised block piecing. First, Lauren will teach you how to create improvised "slabs." Bring your scraps, which should be at
least 1" square. Any shape or size of scrap is perfect for creating a
slab! Second, you will learn how to make wonky, improvised log cabins. For this, bring strips
that are at least 1" wide (but can be any width) by any length you want.
Bring your scraps, sewing machine, cutting board, iron (?), and rotary cutter
and let's have fun!
Things to Come
A Flickr account has been set up, and also a Facebook page is coming soon. Feel free to sign up and start posting! Please note that it is free to join both groups. Anyone can join the Flickr page, but only members can post photos. Membership will be discussed at the next meeting, as we all have one more meeting that we can attend before becoming members. Membership dues will also be discussed. Stay tuned for more, and keep following the blog for more details.
