Debbie Rawson told about
Pinterest. It is a website that has ideas
and you have to ask for an invite. Then
they will send you an email with the invite info
then you can setup your account. You can follow
others. I think you have to have a Twitter or
Facebook account. There are good ideas for
all kinds of things. Sewing, food, quilts, crafts
anything you can image.

Julia Wareing
Front or Back?

Back or Front?
Beautiful on both sides

Julia designed this to teach to
her church group.

CHINESE AUCTION
We had so much fun until Alice didn't
win anything. Everyone bought tickets
5/$1 and then went around and put the
tickets in the bags that they wanted to win.
Then when everyone was done putting
their tickets in, the drawing started.

So much fun. Of course one side of
the room won more than the other side.

There was some really great things is win.
Fabric, notions, quilt books. . .

Debbie was the biggest winner. She even
won a bag to put all her winnings in. Of
course she won big, because she bought
$20 in tickets (100).

this coming November.

Remember the Nickel Quilt class is April 12th. Starting at 9:30am,

Portable Ironing Board
Demo
by Julia Wareing

This is a wood folding table from
Walmart under $9. Add a couple
layers of cotton batting or
silver backheat batting and then
staple on an old towel and
then make a cover you can
remove. Works GREAT for those
sewing classes!! Thanks Julia!

BAG CHALLENGE
If you got your bag done you
got a fat quarter, if you didn't
get it done, you have to
pay five (5) fat quarters.
Julia was the first to pay her
five fat quarters. The rest of you
didn't show up. You still have to
pay your five fat quarters!!!
