Quilter’s Message

The Machine Appliqué Bee will meet Tuesday August 8 at the Garden City Library 104 Sunshine Rd from 1:00 to 4:00.  There will be a workshop on fusible raw edge machine appliqué.  You do not have to take the workshop to attend.  Bring a project and help mentor those new to appliqué.

Supply List

• Sewing machine, power cord, foot pedal and manual
• extension cord
• matching thread and bobbin
• pencil
• small paper scissors
• piece of fabric to test stitches
• 6 inch square background fabric
• 4 inch square appliqué fabric
• 4 inch piece of fusible web (or use one of my samples)

I will provide an iron, appliqué pressing sheet and a light box.  I will have samples of 8 different fusible web products.

Check out Quilters Marketplace to see the details.

I shared the Gadgets, Tools, and Notion List with St. Louis friend. She responded with a useful tip:

Place a 3-5 # hand weight (the kind with hexagonal shaped ends) in front of your foot pedal to prevent it from “walking” out of reach.

The Yard Sale is less than 2 weeks away! If you are selling items and making your Master List, feel free to continue listing on the back of the sheet.
When you drop off your sale goods on the 11th you can arrange your sales area/table at that time. This way you will know exactly where your things are and it will be easier to collect your unsold items at the conclusion of the sale. You are not required to mark down your items  during the last 1/2 hour but that is an option.

Feel free to bring a crafty friend or two or three! This should be lots of fun and a great way to change out your Sewing Room inventory!

If you have any questions call me. (912-656-3605)

After the July meeting there were some concerns regarding Show & Tell vs enough time to yard sale shop. So, in order to ensure that we have enough time for everything, the August meeting will start at 9:30 with Check-in beginning at 9:15. The Yard-Sale will be extended past noon if we need to. So there should be no need for us to rush through the morning. We’ll have a brief meeting first, followed by Show and Tell, then we start the yard sale. See you at the Sale!  Kim
