Mini-Technique Class: Joining Binding Ends
Cathy Fandel led a on binding class before the Feb meeting. Her technique was described in American Patchwork & Quilting, and I found an online copy of the article for any of you who missed the class or need a handout: “Joining Binding Ends…“
Monthly 2.5″ Strip Exchange
We started off 2012 with a new activity each monthly guild meeting: a strip exchange. To participate:
- bring a baggie with your name on it
- enclose 6 strips of a single fabric in the color-of-the-month, each cut 2.5″ by full width (~42″)
- drop it off in the basket at the front desk at the beginning of the meeting
At the end of the meeting, your bag will be filled with 6 *different* fabrics.
Yes, you can bring multiple bags. 🙂
So far, the colors have been..
January: white-on-white
February: red
March: green
The upcoming colors will be listed in the “Programs” page.
