New Blogger on Line

Welcome everyone.  We are starting a new blog so that our ladies will have information with a few key strokes.

We have a meeting coming up Wednesday, Jan. 9th from 9 am - ????? and we are bringing in our sewn 4-patches to learn a new method.  This session is called:

                                       ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK - Multiplying 4 Patch

You can see below some pictures of possibilities of what a person can make after they learn this method.  There will be even more examples on Wednesday.

 These three bed sizes are from the Piotique Quilters Guild work day for members that needed a "quilt hug"

This is using only 2 colors and is a small table cover.

Chop and mix from grandson's quilt that started all of this

 Chop and only turn that is also in grandson's quilt.  Hopefully all the blocks will be sewn together and on display at the meeting.

 

Incase you want to jog your memory, you are to bring in your 4 patches all sewn together

 

either 4" size squares which will measure at 7.5" block

or 6" size squares which will measure at 11.5" block

                                      or 6.5" size squares which will measure at 12.5" block

All cutting will be done at the meeting.  Bring cutting mats, rulers, rotary cutters, sewing machine and all supplies (1/4" foot great) that you would normally use to sew with.  Remember to bring your lunch also.

One of the ladies let me know that she will be making a table runner using 3 groups of 4-patches and border material.  Getting excited to see what every one will bring.  It's amazing how color choices can change this simple block.

See you next week.
