Ornament Sew-In: 8-11-2015

Fabric Bowl/Candy Dish

March 2014
Phyllis Henly led us through the various steps needed to create a truly lovely bowl/candy dish (shown above).

She clearly demonstrated each step with pre-made fabric examples from the cut 10 1/2" squares to the folded down and buttoned points that put on the finishing touches. The demonstration was well attended, fun, and involved everyone. Many were taking apart and repining the different steps involved to make this bowl. We hope to see everyone's completed bowls/candy dishes at our next meeting!

Comfort Quilts Sew-In
    Hosted by Pat Smeaton
    2013 Comfort Quilts Chairperson

Pat showed us how she quilts a Comfort Quilt, and as she says, "It is really simple and easy . . . no fancy stuff here!"

Pat gave us hints, tips and tricks to make sewing the Comfort Quilts easier and quicker.

Thank you to all who joined in the fun. We really appreciate the time you spent with us.
