ANNOUNCEMENTS...
When talking about cloth face masks, Dee Dee suggested that if you are having trouble with fogged up glasses, fold a tissue and place on the inside of your mask near the nose wire. The tissue will keep the heat of your breath from fogging up your glasses.
Carol asked about setting options for her Postage Stamp quilt. Joy recommended taking a look at Wedding Dress Blue for some scrappy inspiration.
Ella had an announcement for Carol and others. Debbie found a replacement for the (now broken) Pineapple Key Chain Award...
This was Carol's reaction to the news:
Barry photo bombed "the girls"...
Here was Candy's reaction:

Two blocks for the Scrap Buster Challenge:
Joy urged us all to use the SAME ruler (and cut the SAME size pieces) to get consistent results. Something she obviously ignored, given the discrepancy the two blocks shown above!!
She also showed a phone photo of the "Bigger Boat" Quilted Yarn Bowl made for a friend:

As Ruth showed the changes to her design wall she asked Cheryl K. about digging out this photo as an example of what to do with the blocks:
I wish I could remember the story about this beautiful fabric...

Deborah...
... Is making a suitcase for her grand-daughter for an upcoming birthday:
She is using a 30" robe zipper for the closure:
The interior has stars for the child's current favorite song:
The hardest part was inserting the zipper:
It wasn't any easier or less of a challenge this time than it was 3 years ago when she made the same pattern for her grandson:
Deborah shared the Block of the Month from her night time bee:
LOOK at this adorable critter fabric:
Deborah also gathered a collection of fabrics to go with it:
She showed a pin cushion gift from neighbor who is in the Monday machine embroidery group. Deborah provided denim so the neighbor could participate in the challenge:
Deborah is looking forward to a pick-up at IKEA for sewing room storage solutions...

While she was at it, she ordered a second wire, since she has another box of clips:

Britt couldn't make to day s meeting, but she sent a photo of her recent finish:
EDITOR'S NOTES:
First, special thanks for Deborah for taking notes during today's meeting. It is SEW challenging to keep tabs on what everyone is doing AND take pictures at the same time! Thank you, again, Deborah.
Also, members, please contact me with any corrections to this week's post.
Until next time...
SEW safely!!!
