I was sharing with the Sewing Bee Zoom group the process that I used to make a pattern for my quilt and they suggested I share it with everyone else. This is just one of many ways that you can approach this challenge but it seems to be working for me.

Step One: Using a light box I traced my picture (using a mechanical pencil gave me fairly precise lines) on a sheet of copy paper.

Step Two: I then enlarged the drawing on my printer so that it was roughly the size of the 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper in the machine.

Step Three: I took the enlargement to Staples and asked them to enlarge it to 30 x 38 (or close to that…the difference can be made up by borders). I got two copies for around $8.

Step Four: (I am using applique for my project and needed to make sure that the image was reversed. If that doesn’t matter for your project you can skip this step.). On the back of one of the copies, trace the shapes needed for your project. Label the shapes and trace them onto freezer paper, labeling the freezer paper pattern pieces accordingly.

Step Five:  Cut out the freezer paper templates on the drawn lines. Iron onto the back of your fabric and cut out with a seam allowance all around for turning. Iron the edges (seam allowance), clipping curves as needed.

Step Six: Applique to your background fabric Using your enlargement as a guide.

If you are using a different technique that you think might benefit others in the group, please share on Message Board here on the website. I hope this is helpful🙂.

My email has been hacked. Please do not open any emails/attachments from me from this morning.  Sorry about that……

Laura Brown’s daughter, Kacie Campbell, has asked me to share the following information with our guild members.

Laura was a member of our guild for many years and a very talented quilter. Her daughter is selling the items in Laura’s sewing studio—-lots of fabric, tools, books, notions, etc….  Kacie does not have set prices but is trusting that buyers will make reasonable offers (while still paying less than they would normally pay) in an attempt to pay down debts and find good homes for the items.

You can contact Kacie at 678-491-1769 to set up a time to take a look at the sewing/quilting items.

This great opportunity showed up in my email and I thought I would share. Cheryl Lynch is the designer behind the Mini Mosaic patterns many of us have made. Check it out. 🙂   Theresa

EXCLUSIVE WORKSHOP “Beach Love” is a mini mosaic 8″x10″ canvas art.  There is no sewing, so it’s fun for both sewists and non-sewists alike. It’s a virtual 3 hour workshop using Zoom.  The  workshop fee ($40) includes the class and the complete kit and shipping in the US.  You can choose to use one component or all three.  You can decorate the canvas or leave it plain.  In class I will go over how to create the mosaics, words, decorating the canvas and attaching it to the canvas. The kit includes the canvas, pattern, cut up fabric and SAS. There is an Admin from Junto Space who will help you if there are any technology issues.  We’ll be using breakout rooms to make the class more intimate.You can get to meet new friends and be able to ask lots of questions! “Beach Love” will only be offerred in this virtual workshop for 2020. DATE: Friday, June 12th   6:30-9:30PM EDT
