I should get busy.

A friend sent me the link to this website and I let a huge groan. Not because I don't appreciate the idea, it's fantastic. But because I have no window coverings downstairs in my house. And this gallery of Roman shades makes me feel even more guilty!

Will a similar shade turn up on our virtual studio tour?

Oh my, Oh March!

Show and tell this month was really exceptional.
Here are just a few of the highlights.

Carla Gower has "discovered" hand applique!
She has a entire quilt of the most beautiful baskets.




Glenda Faber shows her darling Dora quilt.




Oh my, Oh Margie!
And it was only a dollar at the UFO auction!

Paper Piecing

We had a terrific meeting on March 15. Thanks to Diane Germann, we are now much experienced paper piecers! Thank you Diane. You are a wealth of information and a great teacher. We certainly appreciated the information and the kits that you had prepared for us. And thank you too for the extra bonus tips on Electric Quilt.

Diane had mentioned the diva of paper piecing, Carol Doak. She has a fabulous website, full of ideas and inspiration for beautiful projects.

Thank you again, Diane.

March Guild Meeting

The program for the March 15, 2007 meeting will feature former guild member Diane Germann. Diane will be teaching us how to do paper piecing. You know, how to create those fabulous little blocks with unbelievable accuracy by sewing strips to paper patterns, then flipping, sewing, trimming, and sewing. Or do you flip first, then sew? Or is it trim, sew, and then flip? Help!
Good thing Diane will be talking with us next week!

Diane will be bringing kits for each of us and we'll have several machines set up so that everyone who wants to sew can get started. If you want to bring your own machine that would be terrific!
Also bring sewing thread, scissors, and anything else you find necessary when machine piecing.

It promises to be informative and fun. See you all there.
