September Show and Tell

What a fun time we had at our first live meeting since February!  I hope you enjoy these photos of Show and Tell.  I think this will come up as a powerpoint presentation so you might have to click from slide to slide.

Hello everyone!

This Saturday we will be having our first “live” meeting since February.  The meeting will also be offered on Zoom. Please be patient as this will be the first time trying to have a live and virtual meeting at the same time.  Fingers crossed that all goes as planned! If you have made a Challenge Quilt you are reminded to send a picture of the quilt and the photograph  to Theresa by this Friday.

We have had 22 ladies sign up for the in-person meeting which will be held at Southside Baptist Church, 5502 Skidaway Road in the Community Outreach Center.  (This building is located at the rear of the parking lot on the south side of the church).  We will open the doors at 9:30 and begin the meeting at 10:00.  Masks are required and there will not be any refreshments served (so eat a good breakfast 🙂

Renee Christensen will be guiding Mondo Bag Workshop participants through the initial steps following the meeting (Zoomers-stay on the line).

If you will be Zooming with us here is what you need to know…..  All participants will be muted to prevent feedback issues.  If you have questions or comments you can send these using the Chat feature.  At the end of the meeting any messages/questions will be read to the group and answered.  If you have a show and tell quilt please send a photo to Theresa Sapp so that it can be shared onscreen easily.  If you would like to send your Show and Tell and/or Challenge Quilt to the meeting for sharing contact Theresa theresasapp@aol.com or 912-656-3605) and arrangements can be made to collect the quilts. Sign in information is as follows….

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🙂.
