A new means of communication


Just decided it was about time for us to get on board with our own blog for the Quilt Guild. Am hoping that there will be many entries and we can all use this, not just me.

We enjoyed a full day at the June guild meeting this week, with a large attendance in the afternoon. In the morning we had a workshop with Billie Lauder. She demonstrated some of her Quilting tricks - such as how to quickly make a scrap quilt of four-patches and also how to push that four patch into a nine patch, quick as a wink. Since I have lots of small amounts of fabric, I feel a bit guilty buying the layer cakes or charm packs or such; but if you buy packs of coordinated fabric it does guarantee color success. And also, there is little or no waste, so maybe it would be justified.

Billie Lauder is a lot of fun and an easy person to be around. Her trunk show was great - a real inspiration. I have some pictures but not sure how to post those yet.
