March 2019 Community Quilts Workday
Come one, come all to the March Community Quilt Workday! Don’t miss this opportunity to participate in our Guild’s community service projects.
Prepared fabric kits and patterns will be passed out that can be completed into quilt tops in one afternoon. Some kits will have fabric already cut out to enable sewers to waste no time in getting to work. Other kits will have fabric to cut for people that prefer to cut fabric. Most patterns will be Rail Fence with different numbers and widths of strips and arranged in different configurations so the quilts will all be different. (Click on the following links for a couple of YouTube videos on creating Rail Fence blocks: https://youtu.be/kGSzo_eAEy8, https://youtu.be/EMX6BVfDpWM.) Once the strips are sewn, people will be needed to press and cut the strips into blocks. Sandwiched quilts will even be available if you want to tie!
There is room for everyone to make significant contributions and help complete various quilt tops. So, whether you are an experienced quilter or just started quilting last month, this will be an afternoon you will enjoy as we work together. As a community of quilters, experienced quilters will be needed to answer questions for the newbies or share tips they’ve discovered over the years that make quilting quicker, easier and more fun. So be prepared to form a team with friends or be daring and sit at a table where you are not acquainted and make new quilting friends.
Be sure to bring any or all of the following: sewing machine with thread and other general sewing supplies, a rotary cutter, a cutting mat. A couple of irons and a pressing mat will be available but feel free to bring an ironing mat and your iron to have near where you are working.
