Quilter’s Message

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.

Hello everyone! Our meeting (tomorrow) will be in the Community Outreach Center at Southside Baptist Church. This is the building to the right of the covered walkway. Mary Bass will be presenting our program, Color In Quilts. We will also be electing our new officers for 2023. Don’t forget to wear your name tag and bring your show and tell.

If you are staying for the afternoon workshop with Mary, Triaxial Weaving, bring your lunch and workshop supplies.

Hope to see you all there!  Theresa Sapp

Please keep Linda Busby in your thoughts and prayers, her son Lee Don Busby passed away this week.

Take a look at our Quilters Marketplace to see photos of this Handi Quilter Simply Sixteen machine that is for sale.  It belonged to a Savannah woman who has passed away. Her niece, Ali McCorkle, is selling the machine. Her email is included with the listing. If you are looking for a longarm that doesn’t take up much floor space this may be just what you are looking for!
