Hello CBQ
On July 25th Mary Moody-Cox will join us to teach “Quilt as you go”. In this workshop we will learn how to quilt our quilt one block at a time. Then Mary will show us how to join our blocks by machine. This is a technique class so if you have some orphaned or wonky blocks you don’t know what to do with than this is a great way to use them. I will be sending out email reminders to all who have signed up in a few weeks. August 29th will be a community service sew day! Please join us for some fun sewing pillowcases for community service. The pillowcases will be given to kids in the foster care system. Sadly, these kids often resort to a trash bag to carry their belongings in, a pillowcase is a nice alternative to that trash bag. They don’t use much fabric and are quick and easy to make. CBQ will be donating as much fabric as we can. Please note that the fabric CBQ donates will NOT be from the shed, this will be newly donated fabrics. Also, you may bring your own fabric or donate fabric. For every pillowcase you make you will receive a raffle ticket to be entered into a drawing. The following day at the general meeting we will have the drawing for a few fun prizes. There will be a $10.00 fee for this class. September’s workshop is still to be determined. October 24th is our “Moonlight Rapsody” workshop. Karen Brow-Meir of Java house quilts will be back to CBQ to teach a class all about applique. She will be teaching machine and needle turn applique, tips for handling small pieces, bringing our applique to “life”, adding embellishments, and much more. She will have kits available for purchase. Please sign up at the next meeting. Thank you all, stay cool and if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me. - Emily Smith 2 nd V.P. |
