Wednesday August 5, 2015
Hi all!
Happy August! Yes! How fast time flies!
What about slowing it down a notch and enjoying a bit of HAND SEWING?
OK, don't "tune-out", read on! |
|
|
|
|
Sewing is proven to be a "stress reducer", but have you ever hit a wall, and found that you just don't want to carry on with any of your current projects?
Try a little HAND SEWING. Yes, we've got just the project & a group of fun stitchers meeting at Charlotte's Sew Natural on Wednesday afternoons (that's today) from 1:30 on, just sitting around and stitching by hand.
Come join them, stitch, embroidery, whatever, by hand. It is "free" time. :)

Most of them are currently working on LUCY BOSTON'S PATCHWORK OF THE CROSSES quilt. Click here for more info on Linda Franz's book.
Want to get started on your own? Click on the picture above for a link to the PERFECT KIT to get you started using your own SCRAPS.

This Saturday is SECOND SATURDAY. We open the doors to Charlotte's Sew Natural at 8:45 a.m. My presentation begins at 9 a.m. All are welcome.
This Saturday I'll be talking more on setting sampler blocks as shown here, as well as using 10" squares (from pre-cut sets) as a source for variety creating gorgeous sampler blocks like the ones we are doing together.
There will be "Show & Share" so feel free to drop in! |

This is one block in the Second Saturday quilt pattern shown in a traditional print, COUNTRY FRENCH from Maywood. I started with a stack of pre-cut 10" squares. That gives me the most variety and is fun to work with. I will be sharing measurements in the FREE Second Saturday class which starts at 9 a.m.

Check out another FREE PATTERN, this one for a great IMAGINATIVE MONSTER! LOL
We also have QUILT KITS, & PRE-CUT SQUARES of CUDDLE in a variety of colors.
By popular request, now stocking 90-inch wide BLACK CUDDLE too. Want more colors? Let us know and we'll see about getting that too. :)
Cuddle is polyester, so soft, washable and extremely durable. The colors & textures are great!
