Didn't quite get either little wall hanging finished, but close enough for right now.

Got a new sewing machine this week and am trying to figure out out, practicing and experimenting.

Show-and-Tell

Shibori "demo"

The demo is sharing information from Quilting Arts TV 2405 that was presented by Patricia Kennedy-Zafred. I have been unable to locate any online source to watch any Quilting Arts TV episodes without buying them. You can find the show preview and a handout for the technique by searching for episode 2405 at quiltingdaily.com. If you scroll down and click on Patty's art image, you will access an instructional handout that you can print. You can also view Patty's work on her website: pattykz.com.

December 19th 9am Meeting Show and Tell

Marilyn

"My latest project. This husky was our neighbors ' in Canon City and our dog"s best friend. The wall hanging went to them for Christmas."

Judy Knight

"I’m using up fabric! All same pattern setting which turns out exactly 52” x 78” that Hospice wants. Having fun using up hand dyes and stash. Small variation each time besides color. A size I can machine quilt. I know it’s not show & tell tomorrow but these might be gone soon if Hospice opens."
