Show and Tell from our Zoom Meeting on Tuesday  January 5th. Audrey showed a baby blanket she is making out of  repurposed wool cashmire sweaters to be added to the cute minky back.  Oh and check out that cute little baby hat. Audrey and Peggy traveled to Fort Collins Colorado and met up with a friend from South Dakota.  4 fun days of sewing ensued.  The design wall shows a sampling of work completed.   Mini - Retreats during this Covid time is the way to go. Shauna is helping out a friend who made the center part of this quilt.  She was struggling with the borders.  This is a quilt made of cotton and minky. Minky can be challenging because of its stretch! Here are details showing the back of the quilt and the border with the corner block.    Shauna used a whol...

 January 12, 2021 We are exploring ways to combine the newsletter and blog.  Our January 2016 Newsletter is linked here.   This is a test to see how this will work.  If you are subscribed and you got this in your email, just know that's what is going on, and thank you for playing along!  And if the test works... Then we will soon have a current newsletter to publish for 2021. Peggy has agreed to do the newsletter and the blog at least for now.  She is requesting that members send photos to her email.  In addition, to make this a great inclusive newsletter she is asking members to send favorite seasonal recipes,  cool quilting tips, or links to great tutorials as you come across ideas.  Please help!    Peggy taught a lesson entitled Taming Your Stash.  Basically, it was about getting the stash organized.  She demonstrated her nice neat stacks of fabric in her cupboard and showed how she folds the fabric around a ruler....

July 2020 Show and Tell The Delicate Stitchers Quilt Guild had their monthly meeting at Rotary Park with proper social distancing. Some of the ladies and gents are staying busy finishing up their UFO's and other sewing projects. The quilt above was made by Audrey... "Summer Garden."  The outside border uses leftover pieces making it irregular or wonky.  Then on the top border she used some embroidered dishtowels making a great border for the pillow tops on the bed. Below is a quilt Shauna made using all the scraps left over from the big block quilt below this one. Shauna made this quilt after she was given 10 blocks.  She finished the quilt by making two more blocks and adding the scrappy sashing.     Shauna taught the Flying Geese block for our lesson and then showed how she uses all the little triangles a person cuts off when making a flying geese block.  Notice all the tiny half square triangles in the quilt below!  Unlike many of us, Shauna not onl...
