We had a guest speaker at our April meeting. "Aneeda Bargain" entertained us with useful tips from ordinary items you could find at home. Not only did she have some great suggestions, but many members chipped in with uses they have for the household items she brought along. Of course, if you are borrowing items from your husband, you many want to make sure you don't damage any of his tools. But many of the items she had brought he wouldn't even miss from the garage/shop. Some of the items are displayed in the slide show, even new lighting for the cap, often we don't have enough lighting when it comes to quilting. She sharpened her rotary scissors by running it over tin foil... (it sounded like her blade was cutting better). She came up with a light box that is relatively cheap. Used washers to make perfect applique' circles. Lots of great ideas! She was hoping some of her friends were also present... Iona Stash, Mega Shopper, Penolope Pinchpenny and Ima Quilter.
We were few in numbers (from a normal guild meeting) but we had LOTS of show and tell. Several people brought piles of quilts... Luella, Gwen, Diana, Cheryl, Peggy... you will see in the slide show. We celebrate our 20th Anniversary being a guild in July. We are looking for small door prizes for this event as well as our 2010 challenge will be displayed also. So get working girls! Enjoy the slide show.
