First Bee Enhancement
Splicing batting and the Tucker trimmer-October
6, 12:30pm.
Do you have pieces of batting that you would like to make
larger? Do you have a quick way of
splicing the pieces together? If you are
like me, you have tried “zigzag” sewing the pieces together only to find mounds
in the batting seams and irregular seams; and you have tried bonding the pieces
together with that narrow bonding tape, and find the tape not holding or stuck
to some place other than the intended seam.
Now, I have a quick and easy way splice batting pieces together which
I will demonstrate on our next bee day in the Bee Room 216-- October 6, at
12:30pm.
Lynne and Ruth have
started us off on “Star Gazing” Block of the Month, with September being the Friendship
Star. Now this block has a half square triangle
in it and I distinctly remember Lynne suggesting that we make the blocks a bit
bigger and then trim them down. So with
that in mind, DO I HAVE THE TOOL FOR YOU. Yes, the Tucker trimmer which I will also
demonstrate at the next bee day—October 6, 12:30pm. So come and see the demos and hopefully make
your quilting projects quicker and more enjoyable. Mary Downey

Making Quilt Carriers—October 20, 10:30am.
Ro has again gracious offered to guide us in making quilt
carriers during our October 20 bee. This
bee will begin at 10:30 in the Bee room 216. The pattern will be posted on the blog.
You can select and bring your own fabric OR you use
one of the kits Ro has. What do you
need to do? So we can plan and have
enough supplies, let us know if you are interested in making the carrier and
whether you will be bringing your own fabric.
The day of the bee, you will need to bring your sewing machine and a
neutral thread. The bottom panel and
dowel handles will be provided. Thank
you, Ro. Hope to see you there.
