It seems as if we have had an explosion of sewing dates! Maybe too much in the same week? What a wonderful problem to have! But then, maybe it stretches our resources too thin, so why not reschedule our opportunities and fill the month with sewing gatherings. The Delaware Sewing Bee will moved to the 4th Tuesday of the month. 9:30-3:00. Future dates are: August 24th, September 28th, October 26th, Nov 23rd, and Dec 28th.
Fat Quarter Fun, is just what it sounds like, Fun with Fat Quarters! The Program committee gave us a wonderful chance at increasing our stash today by hosting a game. There were dice involved, but it wasn’t a casino style game, it was a Left, Right, Center game. You roll three dice and if you roll certain numbers you had to pass your 3 Fat Quarters to the left, right, or center, or keep it. It quickly became clear there were some serious gamblers
Hello dear quilters!
2021 has been a year of quilting firsts for me-being president of a quilt guild, experimenting with quilt collage, joining a quilt-a-long, taking a Zoom quilting class, going to a quilt retreat (soon) and currently designing a challenge quilt.
At the June meeting, Lydia Lander challenged us to make a quilt inspired by our guild’s tenth anniversary in September. It’s all about the number ten; other than that, it’s anything
What a fun day of sewing for those who need a little comfort. We had a great crowd come out for the sewing day. We had a Pole Dancer-Sally Sandilands, a Stripper-Lore Weas, and someone who was into “Bindage”-Sandy Metzger, you missed it gals!
Everyone’s projects were different, from kids to adult sizes and all shapes and patterns!
And when we tired of sewing, we shopped! Thanks to Anne Hart for vending fabrics from someone who is downsizing. I will neither confirm
Basting, it’s not just for Turkeys! Wait, what? Basting? We’re basting turkeys? No, silly, quilts, we’re talking turkey about basting quilts! Let’s dive into it!
To baste quilts we need a large area and tons of safety pins, right? Well, maybe once upon a time, but now we have a lot of methods to use when we are layering our quilt sandwiches. We’ll cover a few here, but if you have a method not listed, please add a comment below and share your techniques!
What a fun day of sewing we had! And oh my, the secrets we learned about Sally Sandilands! Let me tell you all about it. It seems that Sally had a former life which involved Motorcycle Gangs and Pole Dancing, but you didn’t hear it from me. Oh wait, you did! Be sure to ask her the next time you see her, I believe there is photographic proof out there? She might even be persuaded to do a program on Pole Dancing at one of the monthly meetings.

This month we visit the Lucky Star Quilts shop in Carmel. The owner is the delightful Stephanie Brokaw. She has been in the longarm business for 14 years and 2 years ago expanded her shop to include retail sales. How lucky she is to turn her passion into a thriving business! Or maybe it was her determination and drive?
At Lucky Star Quilts you will find wonderful fabrics to use in your projects, from Kaffe Fassett, Tula Pink, Figo, Northcott Solids, Anabel Wrigley,
