WPQ Bag for Regional Get Together

At this year's Regional Get Together, each Group was asked to make a bag to be auctioned for local Alzheimer's Support.
Our bag was made by many members in an in-house workshop conducted by Elly. The bag is made of a folded circle similar to a cathedral window, in a luxurious black and gold oriental print.

Ideas for Workshops

One of the aims of WPQ is to broaden our skills - to that end, could members make suggestions about the skills, tutors or workshops they would like to attend over 2014. Please come with your suggestions next week.

 

We have a few inhouse workshop ideas for Thursday mornings - Sandra will be demonstrating the Clam shells block design in June 2013 (date to be confirmed), and the sew and flip method/string piecing method using foundation fabric for making new fabric and scrappy designs has also been suggested for July 2013. Details will be confirmed.

 

may all your seams be straight!
