Connie Tabor did a demonstration on a
Disappearing 4 Patch
Connie started with 6" squares, two colors that
have a high degree of contrast.  Sew together in
a block. This makes a 10 1/2 inch unfinished block.
Then she measured 1 1/2 inches from the seams on
each side and cut them.  You will have 9 pieces. 

Now you switch the solid squares on the
outside corners and rotate the center 1/4 turn.
And sew together
This is a Scrappy disappearing 4 patch.
You can Google Disappearing 4 patch
and Disapprearing 9 patch for video and written
instructions.

SHOW & TELL
Elaine McNair has three Great Grandchildren
due in the next couple of months. So she
let them pick out the fabric for a baby
quilt, skirt and bumper pads.









So after she finished what they
picked out, she made quilts
for each of them that she picked out
the fabrics. She still has one to go.
Sorry Elaine, I didn't notice I
didn't get this one turned.
I guess you needed to lay down.
I vote Elaine Grandma of the Year!

In Iowa it is popular to have Barn Quilts. She
really wanted a barn quilt, but there was a problem.
She doesn't have a barn.  She said these Barn Quilts are
2 sheets of 4' x 8' plywood painted like a quilt block.
She decided to make hers 4' x 4'.  She made four so she
could change with the seasons.




 This what it looks like on her garage.

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

pay your five fat quarters!!!
