Have you ever wondered how to move
or remove a bud or leaf from an embroidery?
Just to make it fit …tried to
get an embroidery to fit into a certain
hoop? How about changing the angle
of a portion of an embroidery – making
it straighter or more curved? What
about changing the edge of a leaf?
There are different ways to accomplish
all these tasks. We’ll explore these
fiddly tools that can save your sanity
when it’s 6 pm on Saturday night,
you’re stuck, you promised “TO DO
IT” for Monday, and the store is closed

and your dog – and that squeaky
toy has got to go! I’ll share some of
my tricks with you. |

Gypsy Quilters Sit and Sew Block of the Month
Here’s a fun new idea—a sit and sew block of the month. Instead of picking up your block of the month, taking it home and putting it in the cupboard to work on “soon”, join Nina Anderson’s merry band of Gypsy Quilters and actually complete your quilt in a year—well, almost!
The first month you will meet with Nina and get her expert advice as you choose the perfect fabrics for your quilt. No agonizing about colors or patterns. Nina’s great eye for color and years of experience pulling quilts will make this planning meeting a joy!
Then spend a fun filled Saturday morning each month for twelve months cutting and sewing together each block. You will learn many great techniques like template cutting, sewing in the round, inset seams and much more. There might even be some surprises!
You will finish one block each month. When the blocks are finished, you can put them all together with the provided instructions or join Nina for a final, optional session (for a small additional fee) to choose your borders and put it all together. You can also choose your backing and all you will have left is quilting and binding. This BOM (Block of the Month) won’t become a UFO (UnFinished Object)!
The Gypsy Quilters will meet on Saturdays from 10:30 am-1:30 pm, July 31, August 28, September 25, October 30, November 27 (and continuing in 2011).
The cost for the entire thirteen-month series will be $150 (does not include cost of your pattern and materials).
Space is limited, so don’t be disappointed, sign up today! |

HAPPY HAUNTING LAP QUILT $45
2 session Rosemarie Woodward
Sat. July 17 and 24
9:00 am to 12:00 pm
This is a reversible, whole cloth quilt –
no piecing, no stippling, just a 45-inch
square of fabric. The embroideries
and/or appliqués are very simple, 4-5-
inch squares. Couldn’t be easier – single
hooping per embroidery. Instead of
sashing, I used a built-in stitch from
my machine, and “couched” it over a
piece of ribbon. It is so delicate looking
… despite being oranges and
greens on black. For any embroidery
machine.
