So.... think I can have it ready for the June 13th drop-off deadline for the OC fair?

Yesterday I was showing my dad my quilt blocks and telling him how I made them. His mom used to make quilts all the time but with whatever fabric was around, scraps and worn-out clothes. She made a quilt entirely out of old neckties once. Unfortunately that one's no longer around (I never saw it).

Anyway my dad was a little amazed at the decadence of actually purchasing new fabric to make a quilt.

Remind me to put out my Gee's Bend book for the next class. Amazing quilts done out of recycled fabric.

I actually had the notion that I was going to go thrifting for old printed 1960's and 70's sheets and do a project using them. As it is, I already bought some fabric for my next project. I'm loving it!

For the next class, everyone will need to have border fabric as well as binding fabric. The class after that, we will need batting as well as backing fabric.

I might need to consult with Aleister again to finish my layout.

"Random" just isn't a concept in my brain.

Not Afraid · 05-22-2009, 07:59 PM

I'm done with my lay out. Rupert helped me.

Not Afraid · 05-28-2009, 02:59 PM

Reminder: The next class is THIS SUNDAY 10:00 am, my house. You will need your finished quilt blocks, your border fabric and binding fabric. We will also be practicing machine quilting, so if you have any leftover fabric you don't plan on using for anything else, bring that along. I have some batting and some muslin to use as well.

ALSO.....SAVE THE DATE!

The International Quilt Festival in Long Beach will be held July 24th - 26th. I went last year and it was AMAZING! Not only are their incredible finished quilts, but there is a whole hall of marketplace stuff like fabric, craft supplies, expensive sewing machines, and FABRIC! Here's the web site

Haven't seen any reminders, are we still on for tomorrow?

Not Afraid · 06-20-2009, 10:58 AM

Yup, we're still on. Which means I need to do some cleaning today. I've been a sick puppy since I got home from Chicago and everything is in disarray. I'm looking forward to having some creative time.

I know Susan is planning on being there.
