Comfort Quilts: Beach Balls Kits
Ladies,
Thank you so much for helping with the charity kits that we call “Beach Balls” for short. Use the link to Pellon’s Divide & Conquer free tutorial for help piecing the kits, but……… We have added a little extra.
On the 4 1/2″ corner squares we have drawn two stitching lines. (This is where we get the triangles for the pinwheel quilts ) ******* you must place the shorter line towards the corner that will be trimmed off. Stitch on the drawn lines with 2.0mm or 2.5mm stitch length.

Improv Piecing Workshop
Led by Kitty, we all sewed madly from 9AM to 3:30PM. We each started by making a center in 30 minutes; then passed all our fabric save our “signature” yard to the next person. During each round, we added something using the owner’s fabrics and a bit of our signature. Linda’s dahlia-like flowers & Kathy’s frogs are easy to spot.
Crazy Paper Piecing Block project
If you were not at the social last night, we missed you. Click here for the block you need to print out. This is a 8 1/2 by 8 1/2 square. Each month make at least one block with fabrics of an assigned color. This is done by paper piecing. Each month will be a different color. This month, the color is BLUE. At the January meeting, the blue blocks will be on display and a drawing for them will be held. We will continue this for four months. Any questions, please email me.
