May Meeting Recap

We had a great meeting in May, with the primary activity being demo night! Our members are so talented and have many great ideas to share, and everyone had a great time.

Sarah taught us her Quilt as You Go Method. I know lots of people from our group are already thinking up great projects for this!



Vicki showed us different ways that you can embellish quilts with stitches and by sewing on additional flair. She had so many great examples!



Paula gave us great insider tips on things to remember when you drop your quilt off with a long-armer. So many important things we might not know otherwise!



And Debbie gave a DIY tutorial for a rotary cutting mat, designed by our member Trish. So simple and such a great tool to add to our sewing room.




Sew and Share showed off a lot of great projects, including from new member Natalie! Check out this amazing quilt that her grandfather long-armed for her! The hexie/circle combo is amazing.



Ann finished up this lovely neutral quilt for a friend of hers. Great use of a jelly roll!



Karen is making this quilt as a store sample for Oklahoma Quiltworks. The free hand quilting is amazing!





Debbie and Jennifer both made iPad cases. So darling and functional!



Ann was inspired by a bag that Karen brought to Sew and Share last year, so she made her own big bag from the same fabric! It is great to be inspired by our fellow members.



We have some exciting things going on this summer, and as our guild grows, we can't wait to see what happens!

A Monthly Dose of Inspiration: July 2014



I hope everyone enjoyed a festive 4th of July and is having a great summer!  The days are sunny and warm and it is a great time to take advantage of the long days of summer to work on your projects.

Each month we like to share with you some of our members' creative works from Flickr to provide you with a little inspiration.  Below are some recently shared projects.  Maybe one of these will spark an idea and start you off on to something new.

Happy Sewing!

A Monthly Dose of Inspiration: April 2014



Hopefully by now everyone is getting to experience some beautiful spring weather.  Sunny days, bright spring flowers, and seeing nature come back to life always gives my creativity a boost.  There is something about spring that encourages new projects, whether they are home improvement, spring cleaning, or sewing projects.  Here is a bright and colorful collage of some of our members' creations to give you an inspirational boost or just provide you with some eye candy.  Enjoy and happy sewing!
