Quilter’s Message

baby hat with snow flake newborn

Hi All,

While at the quilt shop yesterday, I ran into Jan and we chatted about the baby hats I knit and patterns used. The attached pattern is a free internet pattern I found a while ago and would like to share.

I do, however, don’t follow the pattern when casting on my stitches and marking the beginning/end of the row. My mother taught me the following:

1. Per pattern cast on 72 stitches
2. Divide those stitches onto 4 needles: 20/20/20/12 (the last needle with the least stitches always signals the end of the row (easy for color changes as well)
3. This also helps for counting the headband pattern of 2 knit, 2 pearl (start a needle with knit and end with pearl) – not need to constantly check your stitches
4. I like to knit little patterns using different color yarn into the hats. Those patterns need to be divisible by 4 or 8, or 16 (since there is a total of 72 stitches) to finish a round nicely (I will bring some pattern to the next meeting)

Enjoy and happy knitting 🙂

For those of you participating in the weaving class in November, Hobby Lobby has a ribbon sale going on. Prices are between $0.49 – $0.99 depending on width.

Hello everyone.  I was contacted by a member of the community who would like to sell her grandmothers’ quilts.  She doesn’t have a price in mind and would like to know what they are worth. I have posted the photos in the Quilter’s Marketplace if you want to take a look.

I am looking for 3-4 volunteers to serve as the nominating committee for board positions for 2023.  Please think about how you can help your quilt guild.  Please see me before or after the meeting.  The names need to be available for the September meeting of which I will be on my way to Maine.  I’d appreciate any help you can provide.  Laurel
