Thanksgiving Table Runner Class Sept 8

Night group will be doing another  table runner this time from the book
Table Please by Nancy Halverson.
The planned project is the "Thankful Runner" featuring a pieced pumpkin and a pretty scrolling "Thankful" word.
To save some time you might want to pre-cut and even pre-sew the half square triangle made from various orange fabrics.  Dig into your orange scraps for the pumpkin and for the scrappy border you will want 9 assorted fat eighths or 9- 1 1/2  inch strips about 12 inches long.
Peggy will have her Scan N Cut there for cutting the word "Thankful" and the pumpkin stem if you have your fabrics ready for cutting.  The directions call for a fat quarter of dark purple for the word and a darkish green for the pumkin stem.

Look for more info to come.

We're Back in Pleasant Grove

Since it's the first Tuesday in September New Friends will be meeting once more in the PG library auditorium for a wonderful guest who will be doing a trunk show.
Bring your show and tell so we can all enjoy seeing what our members have been sewing.
We all know that no one can appreciate our hard work better than an another quilter!

Plans for Quilter's Night Out are in full swing and you won't want to miss this ladies only evening.
Don't forget the leaf challenge project...it can be big or small and whatever design you wish.  Hopefully we can get some new inspiration for fall projects.

It's Cabin Time for Night Group

We will be enjoying a wonderful afternoon at Tonya Radley’s cabin this Saturday, August 22. We will meet at Harmon’s on 8th North in Orem at 12:30 to carpool to her cabin in Provo Canyon. If you will be driving alone and coming at some other time, please email Tonya for directions (tradl@digis.net).

We will have a potluck meal about 1 p.m., and then spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying the beauty of the area, visiting, and (if you feel inclined to) working on handwork projects of your own. It will be a great day and we hope to see you.

Please respond to Peggy so we will know how many to expect at Harmon’s.

Community Service

We love the projects that allow you to give back.
Make sure to be at the quilt room bright and early at 10 AM to work on our community service project lead by Carmen.
You know it will be a heart warming day.

Reminders for Tuesday August 11

It's a fast moving summer and heading into Fall isn't it?

New Friends, day group, will be learning our August blocks of the month.  Barbara Douglas will be teaching.  Hope you have been keeping up with the blocks with only 8 more blocks to do.

Night group will be continuing on with the project If the Hat Fits...Linda has emailed us the following

Some suggestions for our class on Tuesday, August 11. 

1.  Please read “General Craziness”, page 10 in your book before you come.  It will help you understand what we will be doing. 

2.  Put a new rotary cutting blade in your rotary cutter. 

3.  Bring a large, unused 18” x 18” pizza box to put your pieces in to take home.  I think Costco has a large pizza box.  If you can’t find one let me know and I will see if I can get some. 

4.  Bring 9 fat quarters as explained in the book and your freezer paper patterns. 

Note:  My daughters cut 9 fat quarters and then each took 3 witches to make a table runner or skinny wall hanging.  They turned out cute.
