QA

For weeks we've been so blessed to
have had a lot of rain and cooler
temperatures.  Suddenly summer
has arrived and with it comes the
high humidity.  Therefore, it was
a treat to escape the heat while
visiting with fellow quilting
addicts at the Saline County Library
on Monday.  Fewer than usual took
advantage of this opportunity, but
we still managed to solve a few
problems and get some work done
on our projects.

If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, you are probably familiar with the fact that knitted and crocheted scarves are quite popular with us.  Jane has taught several people how to make these scarves.  Pat provided us with some entertainment by demonstrating a new yarn she had purchased at Michael's.  The best part of this yarn is that it needs no knitting or crocheting!  It comes pre-knitted (if that's a word) in a long tube.  You simply insert your hand through the length of the tube, grasp the other end, and pull it back through.  Below are some action shots.

 

 

 

A willing and lovely model was found!

And here she is

 

Fay showed us the completed project that we will be making in our Saturday workshop here at the library on August 24.  This workshop is open to members of the guild and there is a $5 fee plus supplies.  It is going to be a lot of fun!

 

 

 

As I stated earlier, we did manage to make progress on some of our projects:

Pat worked on her wool applique.

 

Jane is close to finishing an embroidery project.

 

Cely "found" some fabric languishing in a drawer and made this quilt which she is hand quilting. 

 

We meet again on Wednesday for potluck at a member's home. 

Until next time~~~stay cool and work on those UFO's!
