Then bring your duplicate or no-longer-loved sewing and quilting items to the January meeting to donate to our fun raffle activity.<br />
<br />
Also -<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"> remember </span>the quilt show coming up Jan. 29-30 at the library.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To make the twister blocks, you will need a charm pack or fabrics cut into 5-inch squares. If you want the twisters to "float" on a background (as shown above) you will need to cut squares from a background fabric also.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Arrange the squares and sew them together as shown above if you want the twisters on a background. If you want the twisters to interlock, simply sew the colored squares together without the background color. Add a 3'' contrasting border to the entire piece if you want a border to frame the twisters (see quilt example above- orange border). </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">To cut the shapes, position the tool so the marks line up on the seams and carefully cut with a small rotary tool. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The cut shapes should be positioned in exactly the same order they were cut so the twisters will match up and sewn together. The finished quilt will be about 1/3 smaller than the first size you start with but then you can add borders if you want</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ilene says that if you cut carefully you can use the leftover pieces to create an outer border for the quilt so very little fabric is wasted. </span></div>

The next step in our mystery quilt along it to turn all your squares into half square trinagles.</div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">1. Take 2 squares, in this case one Warm and one Cool. (Light/Darks, Colored/Whites, Whatever you chose) This is really important for creating the Warm/Cool pattern!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">2. Place your squares right-sides-together.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">3. Line up a ruler along the diagonal, from one corner to another.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">4. Carefully trace a line with a pencil.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">5. Using a scant 1/4" seam allowance, sew along one side of the pencil line. I recommend either using a 1/4" foot, or move your needle over so that it is 1/4" away from the edge of your presser foot. This way you can simply line up your presser foot with the pencil line! Backstitch at each end.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">6. Turn your square and sew down the other side of the pencil line.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">7. Using scissors, cut down the pencil line, splitting the square in half.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">8. Press your seams. I prefer to press my seams open. I think that it allows the block to lay flatter. For more information on seam pressing check out this </span><a href="http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2010/04/quilting-basics-the-quarter-inch-seam-pressing-techniques/" style="background-color: white; color: #f89b24; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none;">tutorial</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> from Sew, Mama, Sew.

<br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Now we need to trim our HSTs. For the Mini size, trim your HSTs down to 3". For the Baby and Twin size, trim your HSTs down to 4.5".</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">9. Place your ruler over your HST with the corner on the diagonal seam. Line up the diagonal line on the ruler with the seam. Carefully trim as little as necessary on both sides.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Woo hoo! You're done! You now have two Half-Square Triangles! </span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Continue to make HSTs with the remaining squares, making sure to match up one Warm square with one Cool square. Do so somewhat randomly, just making sure that you have some variety in your match-ups!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Note: If you want to make different sized half-square triangles (for other projects!), simply add 1" to the size you want your finish HST to be to get your starting square size. Then trim to your unfinished size. For example, if you want a finished HST size of 2", cut two 3" squares and trim to 2.5" :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Rose created something amazing with this gift idea! She added a zipper to a handtowel and sewed that onto a large beach towel with one end open so the large towel can be folded and stuffed inside the pocket like a quillow. She added handles so it can be carried easily. When the towel is unfolded, the zipper is hidden on the inside of the pocket so a wallet or keys other small items can be zipped inside and kept safe. </span></div>

<span style="background: white;">Feel free use more or less fabrics than I've
indicated, it's up to you and the size of your stash! You can use as many
different fabrics as you'd like, the numbers above are just a starting point.
This quilt is all about using what you have, the scrappier the better! On the
flip side, if you have a smaller stash, you could easily do this with 10
different fabrics, you'd just need to cut more squares from each fabric! Simply
keep track of the # of squares you have as you cut, and be sure to only cut
squares for one quilt size, unless you're making two quilts! ;)</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">We have decided to do a scrappy quilt, but your center fabric (the one that is dark blue in the picture above) must white or cream. Anything else can be scrappy, as long as that center fabric is white or cream. We will be making 8 blocks. You will need to cut your rectangles 3" wide by 5 1/2" long. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"> Remember 8 Blocks, white or cream as the center fabric. We are going to combine everyone blocks that are brought to our September meeting, & turn it into a quilt for Stephanie & the raffle they are making for her dear friend that lost her husband.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">So get out your sewing gear & get to work! I talked to Illene who already has made hers & she says the longest part, is deciding your fabric. We can't wait to see what you bring! </span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7831888258639399189.post-72152357188955124472012-06-13T14:47:00.004-06:002012-06-13T14:47:50.636-06:00<br />

She challenged everyone to try it and to bring samples to the March meeting to show. This block proved to be very versatile with many looks depending on how many rails and the size of strips in the rails. The placement of colors in the block could also completely change the look and pattern as well as how the finished blocks are turned and arranged.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Darlene also used four strips that were sewn in the same order (yellow, green, multi, blue) but she ended up with two different blocks because of how she arranged the cut triangles pieces.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Rosemary's blocks resulted in different patterns completely. She used four strips in the pink set, but instead of turning the rail pieces at angles to sew them together, she matched the two squares so the strips went the same direction and the same-color strips were matched.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She used five strips for the black and red set and made the rail pieces run the same direction but the color strips are opposite each other. </span></div>

She cut a shape out of the top layer of levi and backed it with fabric. That is stacked with the middle layer (if you want to use a middle layer) and the backing. Then she sewed 1/4 inch from the cut edge of the shape through all the layers to quilt it all together and finally stitched the squares together to complete the quilt.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Just try something & then show up with it for the March meeting & share. We would love to see your variations that you come up with & the different ways it could turn out.

</div>It was fun to welcome Vicky to the group this month. She shared a quilt she put together from blocks her great grandmother made. The fabric in these butterfly blocks is original 1930's and 1940's fabric and the borders are reproduction fabrics. The quilt was hand quilted by an Amish woman who once had a quilt almost exactly like this one herself.<br />

This faux chenille baby blanket is fun, but maybe time-intensive. Stephanie L. layered four pieces of flannel together. Then she stitched straight lines 1/2 inch apart for the chenille sections with a 4 inch space between the chenille sections to create the stripes. She used scissors to cut THREE of the flannel layers between the 1/2 inch rows of stitching (do not cut the bottom layer of flannel) to create the fuzzy "chenille." If you do accidently cut the bottom layer, just applique a cute flower or something over the hole, she says. Stephanie simply sewed around the blanket about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the edges to hold the layers together and let the edge fray.lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13138313807560167090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7831888258639399189.post-80243656187847863212012-01-27T21:59:00.002-07:002012-01-27T22:43:09.151-07:00It's in the Bag!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrPj7wPidxVt7RuyuqOQLS-XYpbOoBZn_tEqaO-frooMnFndohTZlJ_MIWeq_qO91zKHb6Oz3kPVm6Daln-A8nd6IQvGvXbs9Nh4NtJm6gD62PetUUHil4_gWR2jBMMSkXGiHSporr-bg/s1600/bag+demo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrPj7wPidxVt7RuyuqOQLS-XYpbOoBZn_tEqaO-frooMnFndohTZlJ_MIWeq_qO91zKHb6Oz3kPVm6Daln-A8nd6IQvGvXbs9Nh4NtJm6gD62PetUUHil4_gWR2jBMMSkXGiHSporr-bg/s400/bag+demo.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
In September, Ilene showed us some of the amazing bags and totes she has made. This was such a fun and inspiring demonstration with so many ideas.<br />
Ilene loves to use materials that you wouldn't always consider for her bags - jeans, napkins, sheets, shirts, corduroy and even fused paper!<br />

This paper "fabric" is made by fusing layers of pattern tissue together. She quilted it and dabbed some gesso on one side and used pieces of coordinating fabric to make this adorable gift bag!!!<br />

One of the favorite bags she showed was a black and white<a href="http://pursepatterns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=680"> "pockets aplenty"</a> tote that has lots of pockets on the inside, too.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ilene demonstrated how to make sweet square zipper bags (one is shown in the photo above) that can be adjusted and made in any size.
