September Sew Day 2021

 

On this solemn occasion, we will work on a small Community Outreach Project as well as personal projects. 

QuiltCon Community Outreach Quilt: 

This year's theme is Angles. We want as much participation as possible. This Sew Day, September 11th, we'll have the materials to make your own block. The angles should NOT be 90 degrees (right angles)- all other degrees are fair game! The colors and more details can be found at the MQG Community Outreach 2022 website.

    PLEASE BRING: 

• A 16.5 inch square WHITE block
• Invisible thread (we may have extra)
• Pins
• Your machine

 

Here are some example pictures of the block. The goal is to make improv narrow applique strips in angles that aren't 90 degrees. We'll make the strips using bias tape maker (but they don't need to be bias) to have the edges tucked under.
