Our regular meeting will be held on Thursday, June 8th. BUT we also have an in-person sew-in scheduled for Saturday, June 24th, from 10:00-5:00 at our regular location, the Salem Church Library. Drop in for an hour or two, or stay the whole day! Feel free to bring whatever you are working on. It’s a great way to get some sewing done while chatting with fellow guild members and sharing good ideas.
*If you’re bringing your machine, don’t forget an extension cord.
*Ditto for irons, plus an ironing board or other surface (wool pressing mat, etc.).
*Remember to bring your cutting mat, too, plus all the notions you can’t sew without: wonder clips, sewing machine needles, rotary cutter, scissors, thimbles, etc. etc. etc.
You can bring your lunch, or walk over to one of the restaurants right next door and pick up something to go.
ALSO: we have traditionally included a technique or project to share or demonstrate. Previous projects include an origami bag, a soup bowl cozy, and how to make eight half-square triangles at a time. If you have a favorite technique to share, or a simple project that can be completed (or at least well started!) in a few hours, please let us know. Email fredericksburgmodernquiltguild@gmail.com or tell us about your idea at our upcoming meeting.
