July 6, 2010, Strip Poker
Let's play strip poker again at the July 6th general meeting! Along with the traditional Ice Cream Social we're going to play a few rounds of simple poker with fabric strips instead of chips. So you might want to start cutting into your stash now. Each strip should be 2 1/2 inches wide and full width of fabric: selvage to selvage. You will need 25 strips to play the planned rounds of poker. If you don't have a stash, or don't want to spend the time cutting, the Community Quilt ladies will be selling packs of 25 different strips for $5.00 that night to raise money for fabric. So start your cutting if you want a good way to use some of your scraps. And prepare to have fun! Because of the Ice Cream Social you won't need to bring snacks. Contact Patty at sushi0000@comcast.net with questions.
August 7, 2010, The Air Quilt Workshop
This will be a free event and she will have a sign up sheet at the June and July meeting. You'll need:
1 1/2 yards of large scale print or prints (may combine a variety of prints as long as background colors match)
Or use panel print (use 2 panels) one to be cut up and the other in the Birds in Air blocks
1-2 yards of accent fabric (complimentary fabric)
Trangles or other method of making 2" finished half triangles
(Patty will have some Triangle sheets available to sell)
Everyone should be ready for a fun day of cutting, piecing and designing their very own "Birds In The Air" blocks. Quilting is not for the birds but for us.
