May 18th Meeting: Embellishments in Quilts: “Rocks”

(Adapted from Quilting Arts)

Supplies to bring to demonstration:

• Various sizes of Sewing Needles. Hand quilting needles do not work the best.
• Thread to match the material you bring.
• A thimble is helpful.
• Fabric hand scissors. Your large fabric cutting scissors may be more difficult to control as as this is hand-work.
• “Rock-colored” fabrics cut into 3-6 inch squares. There is no need to be an exact square cut as we will recut the squares/fabrics in the demonstration. Fabric Colors that look good are those with patterns that appear to be “rock-like” or just interesting patterns that have lots of movement in them: sand, blacks, corals, greens.
• I will be bringing extra embellishing “fabric” that will give your “rock” another look.
• Bring a rock if it will give you inspiration.
• Timtex – about a 10 inch square. I will bring some for those who don't have any.
• Soft batting or softer quilting batting scraps. I will bring some.
