Kristie Naranjo
Scrappy Applique

In this workshop, you will learn the Scrappy Appliqué technique in a fun, engaging environment where everyone will learn the skills to confidently turn any template into an original design. This one-of-a-kind technique allows each person to reflect their own personality in their project by the choices made in colors, fabrics, shapes and finishing. Each person will choose any small or medium sized Scrappy Applique pattern template (there are over 150 of them) and then using your own fabric scraps (or precuts or yardage) learn the steps in a creative way to make a one-of-a-kind project.  The entire process is broken into highly detailed steps including fabric selection, fusing, cutting, collaging, and finishing options. Throughout the workshop you will learn insider tips, tricks and techniques to make the process quick, easy and fun. Pattern templates and supplies are available at kristienaranjo.com/shop

Philanthropy Sew-in

Have a fun, enjoyable morning of coffee, friends and sewing.  We will once again be working on our own projects or items for the upcoming boutique.  The quilt show/boutique is quickly approaching, and we need items to sell.  Many of you have expressed how much more fun it is to work on the boutique items in the company of friends, so here is your opportunity.  Let Debbie Brown know if you are bringing a machine so that she can have enough space for everyone.  Even if you don’t want to bring a machine, there is still cutting and ironing to be done.

Trash to Treasure

It’s time to clean out your sewing room.  Is it full of things that you don’t use or need anymore?  Bring them to the March meeting.  What you consider “trash” may be someone else’s treasure.  And now that you have cleaned out you sewing room, you will have room to purchase some new treasures at greatly reduced prices.  It is a win win for everyone.
