June Sew Day Recap


Nancy Goff gave a wonderful talk on critiquing. Basically you leave your emotions at home. It's about the design or technique the person asking is looking for comments on. Always be honest, but kind. The work may not be to your taste, but I'm sure we all can see color, balance, contrast etc. and comment honestly, and unemotionally. 

Here we see Nancy giving Liz Thanel a critique of her work as Rhonda looks on. 



As we set up, we have a small crowd today, but always lots of fun.


Some of the projects I can't show as they were for out Mini Swap with Omaha MQG! but there was still some interesting work being done.


Judy Crockett brought this baby quilt top in for some opinions. We all loved the BOHO look of it and advised her to not change anything. Suggestions for binding, backing and quilting were given so she has a lot of food for thought.


A little Jean Wells for Liz


Quilting with a ruler for Rhonda


Some really nice improv slashed blocks.



Lastly Julie worked on her string challenge binding.

It was a very nice day and with a lot of interesting conversation on critiquing.
