The July 3rd meeting was short and sweet. The paper piecing class starts this month. Check at the Bin if you want to sign up. There will be kits available or you can use your own fabric.
The Labette County Fair is coming up quick. There are forms at the Bin if you would like to submit entries. You can bring items to the Bin for entry the Monday before the Fair if you cannot get there yourself.
Interested in a bus trip to Missouri Star Quilt Company? Let Nancy know. No dates have been set yet.
The Block of the Month this month uses a parallelogram die and a triangle die. Care must be taken in placing the fabric wrong side up when cutting with the parallelogram die. Otherwise the pieces will not aim in the right direction. As always, the dies are available at the Bin for use.
Nancy presented the evening program by talking about the Go Cutter. Since we are using it for the Block of the Month she provided tips for better cutting. She also gave some interesting facts on the first scissors (1500 BC) , the first rotary cutter (1979) and the first die cutter (2008). Wish I'd thought of one of them! She said there is also a new Accuquilt cutter coming out that will be electric.
There was no show and tell this month. Everyone must be gearing up for the Fair. See you next month!
