Well, Triaxial Weaving was a 10 on the scale of challenging patterns for some of us today!  The first and second strips went well and then the third strip called for constant supervision.  If only we could have cloned Mary!

Our fearless instructor has agreed to come to Friday Sew Bee to help those who attended the workshop.  Please email me (Renee) at rippinrenee@gmail.com if you want to be added to Friday Sew Bee to work with Mary.

I have included a few tutorials that will help you achieve success in creating tumbling blocks.  The first one has a great way of showing the backwards z pattern that helps to guide you to the correct weaving of the tumbler blocks.

The Navigating the website Workshop is free to our members.  The workshop will be held after the Saturday, June 11th Savannah Quilt Guild Meeting.  Renee and Theresa will take you on a tour of the website via a TV screen and you can follow along on your laptop or tablet.  We will be addressing problems and questions that members have encountered.

Bring a snack/lunch as we will have a quick lunch break right after the morning meeting.  It is recommended that you bring a laptop if you have one.  A second choice is a tablet.  We will have a worksheet for you to follow along with notes.

You must be signed up before the meeting to attend.  Please send an email to rippinrenee@gmail.com.
