UPDATE!  November 19th  Workshop Information

“Fall Plaid Party”

We are making a little change to Friday's plaid party workshop.  Since it is very difficult to find woven plaid material, gingham checks will also be acceptable.  Try to bring 100 4"  squares.

 

We have some plaid material from the Crystal Quilters stash.  I am cutting it up, and will bring it all to share.  Please come to participate with your sewing machine and accessories.  Lets see how far we can get!  

For our workshop in November, you will need 500 - 4” squares cut out of at least 12 different homespun plaid fabrics. The more variety, the better, but not more than 25 fabrics.

All plaid fabrics must be homespun plaids, meaning that they are a woven plaid the same on the front as the

back, not a printed fabric or flannel. 

At the end of the “Party” you will have a scrappy quilt top! Bring your

sewing machine, neutral thread, several pre-wound bobbins, and a ¼” foot.

**More information is on the flyer sent with the newsletter or contact Kathleen Dellplain or Rhonda Stickley.
