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...
... Made progress on her black and white quilt. DeeDee came over and helped with the design:
