LEARNING, SEWING, SOCIALIZING: A PERFECT DAY!

 

There was a lot of learning and sewing going on when the Happy Scrappers met at the Attic Window Quilt Shop on Wednesday.  Above Marilyn graciously models a cooling neck scarf that we made.

First we had to sew the tube and turn it inside out.

Above teacher Cathy, instructs Val on how to cut the ends of the scarf.

Then they filled Val's tube with the cooling beads.

This is a close up of them pouring those slippery beads into the tube.

Val and I model our new cooling scarves.  Mine is going to my DIL.

After that, Marilyn shows how to use a new tool.

When I saw this block that Marilyn made, I knew I had to get that tool and make some of these.

This is the tool from Creative Grids.  When you are making lots of these blocks, this tool helps you to strip piece.  You gotta see it to know what I mean.

After all that learning, we got down to the business of sewing.  Lee Anne is starting another charity quilt using these beautiful charm squares.

Mary is working on a quilt for charity too.  She is using her 30's fabrics.

Above Cathy is putting much thought into her table runner.

Here it is all finished.

I love this fabric with the ants and watermelon.  Good job Cathy!

A special thanks to Marilyn and Cathy for giving of your time to teach us today!
