Hello all, Last night we met for guild. Teri and Peggy provided the lesson. They showed step by step directions to make pillow cases from the million pillow case challenge. http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/millionpillowcases/freepatterns/ The above website will get you to the pattern. They have about 5 different patterns on that web page, and a video to show you how to put the pillow case together. Peggy told us not to just look at pictures... You need to read the directions and trim... when they tell you to. Teri had each step ready with pillow cases sewn in that stage... So I took pictures of each stage... don't expect me to write the steps... check out the above web page... The rest of the night, members sewed on pillow cases, pressed, and talked... always nice to do that! July will bring our Silent auction again... so go thru your closets, look for those sewing projects you know you won't ever finish... proceeds go to either our library or hospice... (I am not sure which this time) We will be having the quilt show in September without the normal Harvest Fest going on in Hazen. We have a olympic theme to the quilt show... And there is a challenge for members.. pretty much anything that relates to an olympic theme... wall hanging or whatever floats your boat... time to start thinking and get going on the challenge! We had some great show and tell.. check it out... fun time had by all!
