August Meeting

Meeting August 24, 2023 at 6 PM

Old Worthington Library

17 people attended.  

The meeting was opened by Leigh asking each person to say their name and asked the question what is your favorite and what is your least favorite part of the quilting process.     Many in the group thought choosing the fabric was their favorite part, piecing was second.  The least favorite part was quilt sandwich making and the actual quilting and a few said binding a quilt. 

 If you haven’t paid 2023 dues, cash only to Leigh.

Demo paper piecing Cynthia did a demo on foundation paper piecing.   She told us about a traditional method and a freezer paper method.   She showed many of her pieces as examples of foundation paper piecing.  Instructions are on the website.  

August fabric swap  was Allison Glass fabric.   One yard fabric but into fat eighths.  Several members participated.
