Pot Holder Swap for December Meeting

Jeanne H. is heading up the Potholder Swap for our December meeting. Make a potholder and you will receive back a potholder. Jeanne will explain in December how she will go about doing the swap.

There is no theme for the potholders, so they do not have to be holiday themed at all, just hand made. I (Daryl) have added several free potholder patterns or tutorials under the FREEBIES tab at the top of this blog. Click on "Freebies" tab and scroll down to the potholders. See something you like? Click on it and it will take you to where the pattern or tutorial is located on the internet. If it is in a pdf format, just save to your computer somewhere that you can find it later. Or copy and paste the tutorial to a WORD document and again save it to where you can easily find it later. Hint: create a folder on your computer aptly named Potholders and save all the potholder patterns you want to that folder. Think of your computer as a metal file cabinet filled with folders that you name so you can find what you are looking for and place into that folder. That is all a computer is really a place to store things you want to find later, only a computer takes up a lot less space.

I will add more potholder patterns as well as other patterns under the Freebies tab, so please stop by and check it out.

Here are a few that you will find under the FREEBIES tab:

Hello Everyone,
Today's meeting was eventful and full of information. We had many more Doo-Lollies turned in for the Thimbleweed contribution to Fiber Arts Fiesta - nearly 150 items completed so far of the 200 we need. If you have some parts you signed up to do, please get theses done and turned in soon and we won't have to spend time at a meeting making these. Show & Tell was inspiring as usual with some of our members getting a lot done this summer. Great going, Ladies! To complete our meeting Brandi Perea of Tea Cup Quilts gave us a trunk show of the quilts she's made from pre-cuts from her store. She shared a few ideas about why some quilts worked better than others and how you can use pre-cuts to make your quilt top construction faster and easier. Kids go back to school before our next meeting so we should have the whole room for Thimbleweed again to enjoy working with Irene as she presents the roll-up Travel Blanket on Aug 16. Preparation instructions are on the Upcoming Meetings tab.
Happy Stitching, Holly
