BRING USED DRYER SHEETS TO THE HAPPY SCRAPPERS MEETING


Hello fellow quilters.  I wanted to take this opportunity to invite you to the Happy Scrappers meeting Wednesday, at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Adrienne W. has volunteered to show us how she uses used dryer sheets to make blocks.  Above is one example.
She made those blocks into the above!
She says you can also cut your blocks a different way, and...
Make these blocks.  So pretty!
Adrienne's has an eye for color and her blocks are so pretty because she used all coordinating colors.  Years ago I just used my scraps to make these.  They are not as pretty as Adrienne's, and I'm going to learn how she uses her scraps to make those beautiful blocks.  

Feel free to join us this Wednesday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  It is sure to be a fun time!  Just bring your scraps and used dryer sheets and if you don't have any of those, don't worry.  We have plenty used dryer sheets for you.  Also bring your sewing supplies, rotary cutter, and a small mat.  Hope to see you there!

Mark your Calendar Now!  The Country Fair Road Tour 2019 is set for September 19, 20 and 21 (Thursday, Friday and Saturday). Take a ride on the Country Fair Barn Quilt Tour.  Participating shops are: New Ewe in Newaygo; Quilted Memories, Montague; Seven Sisters, Carson City; and Attic Window Quilt Shop, Comstock Park.

New This month at the shop:
  • The Charity group meets this coming Monday since the shop was closed last Monday due to the holiday.
  • Chris is bringing back Friday Night UFO and the Sunday Stitch-In.  Watch for Pizza UFO night on Sept. 13th.
  • Happy Scrappers meets Wednesday with the promise of new ways to use those scraps.  Don't forget to bring your Show-N-Tell.

  • The New Paper Piecing Bee will meet the last Wednesday of the month.  If you have any finished projects or (like me) a paper pieced block, we ask that you bring it/them to show us.  Also bring patterns or books you would like to recommend or what you like to share with us for inspiration.
