September 2024 LMQG Meeting

 

Our September meeting will feature former member Diane Wilson sharing about the Kawandi technique, and teaching us how to make a small mug rug.

Since this is a hands-on project, the zoom experience will not be as enjoyable.  Please try to join us in person.

What to bring:

• 7” square of backing fabric (for an unfinished edge), or a 9” square for folding around the edges.  (You may want to turn &stitch your edges ahead of meeting to save time.  See images below.)
• 15 (+ or -) charm sized or smaller scraps in coordinating colors. (Batiks are harder to stitch through.) does not have to only be quilting cottons.
• 7” square of thin batting.
• Pins, thimble, small scissors, a #8 embroidery needle (some will be available). #8 Perle Cotton (some will be available), 12 wt. Wonderfil Spaghetti, Shibori thread, or the equivalent.

LMQG has a stash of scraps (and possibly some backing squares and batting) that will be available and as mentioned above, some needles and thread will also be available.  

First piece: backing turned to finish the edge, and all pieces with turned edges.

Second piece: raw outer edge and raw edges on all pieces.
