Modern Quilt Group Meeting - Thursday 12 September

GnomeAngel's Scrap Vomit

 Tonight at the Modern Quilt Group Meeting we'll be demonstrating how to make a "slab block".  (You can read more about them here:  Dining Room Empire)  If you'd like to make your own slab blocks at the meeting be sure to bring all the supplies you'll need.  (There are some sewing machines available, but these are limited.)

We're also going to be swapping 2.5" scrap squares, a la the Scrap Vomit quilt.  (You can read more about them here: GnomeAngel). Even if you don't want to make a Scrap Vomit quilt the 2.5" squares are so handy for so many different quilts!

If you are keen to do this, please bring along sets (however many you want) of 49 different 2.5 inch squares. This is enough to make an A block, or 49 hexagons, or 1 simple 14 inch block! 

Hope to see you there!

No Modern Quilt Group meeting this month

Our rooms are a little sparse this month with everything at the show including tables, so we will cancel this month's meeting and just have a double-fun meeting on September 12.

If you have any suggestions for demonstrations that Jenny and I can do, let us know in the comments or by email. We will also do a scrap swap next month, which was discussed at the July meeting.

We will swap sets of 49 2 1/2 inch squares of different fabrics a la Block A of the Scrap Vomit quilt (see http://gnomeangel.com/crafty-samuels-technicolour-yawn/ if you don't know what I am talking about).

Even if you don't want to make a scrap vomit quilt, you can use these little squares for a million other things. Look forward to seeing you all the exhibition. Lots of modern quilts on show this year!
