Bull's Eyes Circles

by Reba Chavez

 

Bull's Eyes Circles

Reba Chavez will get us off to a wonderful New Year with BULL’S EYES CIRCLES.  Reba promises this is a  fast way to make a coordinated statement or to use up small pieces of fabrics for a scrappy quilt.  Take a look at the picture.  This is really going to be fun.  Lets do a pot luck for lunch and sew ALL day.

Face Painting

 

 FACE PAINTING with Margaret. 

A supply kit will be available for $35 and this includes ink sets, PFD white fabric, 4 inks, 8 applicators, eye droppers and mixing containers for customizing ‘face’ colors.  It also has a stand to keep the inks from spilling. Margaret will need the total number of students by the January meeting so she can order the supplies. And keep the price low. 

In addition to the kit you will need to bring:

  • A color picture of the actual size face you would like to create. 8" X 10" is recommended.

  • Photocopy this same image in black and white and bring this, too.

  • And a mechanical pencil.

 Lets just do pot luck for lunch and plan on creating late and laughing often!

Chenille Blanket

 

 

Chenille  Blanket with Wilma Taylor

Wilma brought a Baby Blanket last month for Show and Tell and everyone wanted to do this so she has agreed.  This technique will open doors to so many possibilities, scarves, hats, toys…you get the picture. 

I will make beef barley soup for this one because Wilma said she liked it last time.  Don’t forget take home containers.  You know how big the soup pot is.

Pinch Purse with Julie Nodine

Can you believe it???  Two for the price of one. No sewing machine needed, just a few supplies, a good attitude, and a great time will be had by all.  Marj will be teaching "Needle Turn Appliqué" and Julie will be teaching how to make a "Pinch Purse". Be sure to sign up in advance as courtesy toward the Guild member teachers!

For this day how about YFCPL (Your Favorite Casserole Pot LUCK) for lunch?  Sounds good to me!

 QUILT BAG with DEBORAH MILLER

Many of you have asked for a class on this handy and versatile bag to store and carry your quilts and supplies.  This is an excellent way to use fabric that might not fit into your “new” favorite colors and style of fabric.  These make a great gift and can become addictive.  For lunch how about a sampling of finger foods or snacks.  Let’s branch out and bring recipes with the sampling.  OH YUMMY!

 

 

June 20, 2009 THE NEW SKILLS DAY CHAIRMAN WILL TAKE OVER.  It has been my pleasure to bring new ideas and skills to you.  I hope that you will offer her your great ideas and support.
