November Sew Day Recap

It's Holiday Craft Time. 

On the possibly last warm fall day, we met at the IQM to show some easy holiday gifts to make and I believe it was bag day!

Sheree showed an easy drawstring backpack

Jill made a few bags for keeping pieces and tools in

Julie did a scissors cozy

 and Kristie also did a bag that can hold smallish projects and that had a clear vinyl window.

That she shared with her "Bee" group.

Kristie also brought the second TOM quilt to come out of the guilds Technique A Month project. This one is just about queen size. There are still a few blocks left over that will be used on the back of one or both of these quilts. This quilt was done in a row by row setting, while the other is a medallion.

I have to say, well done LMQG. We hope you enjoyed learning a new skill for your toolbox, and will try the techniques again.

Show and Tell

Vicky - Lovely star blocks

Liz - Making faces, no the ones on the table 

Judy - Working on more large hand stitching
