ANNOUNCEMENTS...
*Next week bring pineapple block and Disappearing 4 patches To Ella’s. Looking forward to next week’s meeting at Ella’s! Can you believe it??? After 3 months, we are finally risking a LIVE and IN PERSON (masked and socially distant outdoor) meeting next week. :o))
SHOW AND TELL...
Carol...
... Her internet connection was in and out. ??? Show and tell?
She had a TELL - She found these orphan blocks and later sent photos to share on the blog:
Carol also found a bunch of leftover HSTs:
Deborah...
... Finished the silk robe she started after last week's meeting:
She thanked Jean for giving her such exquisite fabric and shared what she learned about sewing with silk:
Wash silk on gentle cycle so it’s machine washable. Used rotary cutter. Silk pins. Steam a seam tape was very helpful for narrow hems. Hand basting and using a walking foot was essential to attach the band. Silk pins got sticky residue from steam a seam. Cleaned them with dryer sheet. Candy suggested iron-off hot iron cleaner by Dritz. Jean suggested faultless cleaner. Lots of good tips today!
Ruth B...
