January Workday for Hospice Quilts

We completed one quilt top and finished a number of blocks for another top. Plus, we had a fun day!

 

 

We did not work on this quilt but it is another comfort quilt completed during

our jelly roll race last year.

 

January 12, 2015

Despite a nasty night for travel we had a fairly good turnout. We did not have Program but will invite Kim McClusky back another evening for the "From the Heart" program. During our business meeting we announced the dates for our quilt show. It will be held May 22 & 23, 2015 at the Riverside Resort.

A few Tips and Tricks that were shared:

• Toni – cut the tips off rubber gloves for help pulling needles through fabrics.
• Jean Newell posted - use an emory board to act as a ruler when drawing lines on a half square triangle. It won’t move on you.
• Sandra - use a zigzag stitch or serge along the edge of a fabric before washing so that it won’t fray.
