Connie Tabor taught a wonderful technique class today. There were about
35 members who took the class and I think we can all say it was well worth
our time. Connie did a fantastic job. Thanks for all your hard work putting
the kits together and sharing your knowledge with us. We learned how to
test our seam accuracy by sewing three pieces of fabric 1 /12" wide by 5" long.
The three pieces sewn together should equal 3 1/2 " exactly if you
have an accurate 1/4" seam allowance. If not then you would adjust it
accordingly. We lerned how to sew half square triangles, flying geese units,
Aunt Betty's Attic (a simplified sawtooth pattern), four patch triangles,
bias binding, and some ways to use 5" squares. Debbie
Miles also shared an easy way to make the hour glass block.
Lunch was on our own. We had a wonderful day together sewing.
Look at the parking lot it was full!

Thanks again Connie, it was a very helpful and fun class.
