We had Great fun at our Guild sewing Day, Saturday Oct 29, 2011.
Cherrie showed us a video from Fon's and Porter on doing a "Half Yard C'hallenge"
The tools we needed were the easy angle and the companion angle, 5 coordinating half yard cuts of fabric, other basic rotary cutting equipment and a design wall. (of course your sewing machine).
We didn't have a huge crowd at City Hall, but we had a nice crowd. Plus lots of good snacks. I will post pictures below. Luella, Jackie, Sandy and Lorraine worked on other projects. BettyJane was going to do the project... but I didn't get any picks before she left...:( Cherrie's sample was blue and brown, Liz did a halloween one, (I don't think I got the picture of that! bummer) Teri did a scooby doo fabric, Peggy purples.. Clare lime green, Judy - blues and browns; Diana - kind of harvest colors... ; Cherrie also did one in brights. Megan (Cherrie's daughter) sewed a fun quilt together... her blocks were done... I hope I got that picture... Anyway... We sewed until 7 and cleaned up and were out of there by 7:30..pm It was a great day, If your weren't there... you missed the fun. It was a fun project to work on and see how everyone came up with new ideas.

Oct meeting (2011)
The process to show pictures from show and tell is no longer available. I am trying something different... Picassa is a program with Google same as we blog with. I have uploaded the pictures to this site, and I believe it will give a link to that site and you can look at the pictures I have uploaded. It looks like it has a lot of storage, so I think this will work... I will also still try to get all the pictures to our shutterfly account... That way if anyone wanted to print pictures they could do it that way. I am learning something new by doing it this way... we may not have slide shows set up in the same way, but the process should be similar... Be patient with me... I will keep working on it.
Guild was great again, Virginia demonstrated how to make a bag for sewing, kindles, or children's electronic games. She also shared how to make a purse out of men's ties. She showed her purse this summer and so many were impressed. Nice she could demonstrate both projects.
Our numbers were low, but we had some great show and tell. Check this out on Picassa... Link should be with this message.
Oct 29th we have a Half-Yard Challenge starting at 9am at city hall. You need 5 different half yard fabrics to do the project. You can also come and just sew on your own project. The project uses an Easy Angle and a Companion Angle to complete the project. Cherrie will be leading the project with a video demonstration. So, come on time and join the party!
Novemember starts our next year of UFO projects... The rules are similar EXCEPT you can include projects/kits that you have not started yet, but purchased. Just have to submitt a list and pay for the items you think you plan to finish in the next year. The UFO's made our quilt show very large this year... Should make next years' show great too! See you on the 29th!
