Nikki sent out a survey for the Jodi Robinson workshop to members. She needs your answers back so we can plan the workshop for next Spring.
Zsofia did a small piecing and paper foundation piecing presentation. She talked about fabric choices, color inspiration, her favorite tools, thread and needles. She shared her process of working with small pieces and gave useful tips on how to set up your sewing space and machine for small piecing.
B. distributed the QuiltCon charity quilt blocks to members and talked about the pattern she designed for the challenge. She gave a short presentation on block assembly and fabric cutting. Can't wait to see the blocks they need to be returned by the October meeting!
Our members were busy sewing and quilting. Show and Tell was full of fun and colorful quilts.
Our next meeting is on Sunday, September 9th at the Millvale location. We hope to see you there!
