January Demo: Stitch and Flip technique

12/29/2020

1 Comment

 
I invite our members to come to our usual Casual Quilting Group this Monday (January 4th) to work on it together.
I already loved the whimsical applique pattern from Colourwerx.  In fact, I was planning to buy the pattern online and have since done that.  This video shows another technique "Stitch and Flip" to have some fun with this pattern, or actually any silhouette design that interests you. I love this this YouTube video by "On-Point TV and Quilting by Nancy." Watch here or go direct to You Tube at   Click Here.
Check it out, give it a try!  


Some of our members tried the technique during our Zoom Quilting Group.

I have fostered bottle-fed kittens for the Humane Society for the last 6-7 years.  I wanted to share this video I made for my quilting friends as a "Christmas Card."  All the photos are former foster kittens of mine, and what a cute bunch they are!
Merry Kittens Everyone!

ASG (American Sewing Guild) of Santa Rosa recently had John Furtado, owner of Village Sewing, as a guest speaker.  Using Zoom, he was able to show his collection of old machines, and tell us what he loved about each one! 
PS - Thank you to ASG for sharing this video with us! You can find more info about them at www.asgsantarosa.org

Demo - Mirrored Reflections

12/7/2020

  • One of our members, Janice Johnson, posted this quilt block in our Facebook Group.  We loved it and wanted to know more about the quilt block and what the story was behind it. Good news, the pattern is a free download, and it can easily be made from fabric or jelly rolls in your fabric stash!
A few tips from Janice:
  • To download the free pattern for "Mirrored Reflections" offered by Dynamic Quilting Click Here.  You will need to sign up for their mailing list to get it. 
  • It uses 6 fabrics that should look good together.  Janice suggests using the two wider strips in row 1 and 4 for the best look. Remember that Row 1 and Row 6 should also look good next to each other due to the repeat.
  • Our group is invited to come to our Zoom Quilting Group on Monday, Dec 14th with questions or to sew on the block together.  The Group meets from 10:00 - 12:00.  Janice will be there to answer questions, or you can ask her in our Private Facebook Group.
Thanks Janice!
