Redlands May Meeting

This shows just how confused I am...I have June Meeting before a May Meeting.  I went on Vacation in May and have been trying to get caught up on all the meeting stuff. 

In May in Redlands one of the ladies showed us this great Puffie quilt.  So easy to do and looks so soft.  Don't you think?

You can count how many puffs to make this lap quilt but here is a picture of the puffs

the squares are 4.5 inches and the bottom is 3.5 inches. 
Every side has a pleat.  Once you get the puffs sewn individually
you sew them togather using 1/4 inch seams...just like a quilt.

I don't know as this is something I would venture to do.  but the results of the quilt are really quiet cool.


Riverside June Meeting


After the business portion of the meeting was done
and people discussing what to do next

 Gad's has it been a month since I blogged... no wonder no one follows this blog. 
 This months meeting in Riverside was well attend.  We recycled/remade/reused...whatever the catchword is today two men's sport shirts into an apron. 

Two ladies working away on thier aprons. 

This apron was made with a short sleeved "Hawaiian" shirt and a white dress shirt.  the top was made from the dress shirt and the cuffs were used to on the bottom of the pocket. 

This is an example of one of the aprons.  the pockets are from the cufffs of the shirt.  the sleeve is cut just above the placket.  before sewing on the apron a pleat is made in the bottom of the cuff.
