March Meeting

Our March meeting was so much fun that I'm just now recovering enough to get this recap posted. Ok, maybe not that much fun but we had a blast!  In the spirit of "what inspires you?", we did a little creative exercise with graph paper and colored pencils to come up with some design ideas for our upcoming BOM and challenge.  Check out the BOM and the Challenges pages for the new updates!  There definitely is some fun stuff in store for us!

The fabric for the Michael Miller Fabric Challenge was not received in time for distribution at the meeting, but it's here and ready for you now!  You can pick it up at the April Sewing Sunday and the April guild meeting.

We have our own Pinterest account!  We'll be collecting inspirational pictures for the different challenges and blocks of the month.

Tool Time: Wonder Clips

What are all the uses you can think of for Wonder Clips?  We made it a game to come up with the many ways you can put them to use.  And the winning team members each took home a set of their own!

• Binding
• Grouping fabric cuts
• Stitch marker
• Label rows on a design board
• Hanging patterns
• Marking bobbins
• Paper piecing holder
• Pleat holder
• Hemming
• Holding drawstrings in place
