Night Group Jan 13 Meeting

It's January again and because Rita has moved back to Texas Linda has graciously jumped in with a fun project from Quiltmaker Magazine's Jan 2015 issue.

Linda has bought the fabric for a kit so you will need only background and your sewing machine.
The background should be at least 19x19 inches.
Come ready to sew~'

Also our next January meeting will be the planning meeting and everyone will want to bring at least one idea to share.  Remember that we have 22 meetings each year to plan!~

Tuesday I am teaching block 1 and 6 from the Civil War Sampler by Barbara Brackman. We will be making half square triangles for the blocks this month. The blocks can be made 8" or 12". The book uses letters to designate what size pieces to cut for all the blocks in the book. Decide what size block you want to make and use those measurements.

For an 8" block

A  2 1/2 X 2 1/2

B 2 7/8 X 2 7/8 these are used to make half square triangles and can be cut 3 X 3 and squared up after sewing 

For a 12" block

A 3 1/2 X 3 1/2

B 3 7/8 X 3 7/8 these are used to make half square triangle and can be cut 4 X 4 and squared up after sewing

Block 1 Cut

A 4 light, 4 medium, and 4 dark squares

B 2 light and 2 medium squares

Block 6 

Bring two darks and two lights. We will make using triangles on a roll.
