ELIQG 2010 Quilt Show Works in Progress Room details

This year the WIP room will again be a mini-sewing-bee. Please sign up to help in the WIP room during the show and bring your sewing items to work on. This is a fun, relaxing room to stop for a few hours to sew during the show and meet new friends.

We will again be showing the Comfort Quilt challenge quilts in the WIP room this year.

In addition if you have any UFO’s from this years’ professional and members-teaching-members workshops, please let us borrow them for an exhibit on guild workshops and activities (make sure your name is on the back). Turn these items in to Marie Deuel at the May meeting, or at quilt turn-in on June 1st At SCCC.

Fun activity: Make a mini-me!

Fun activity: Make a mini-me!

Just for fun! 

Make a 7” paper pieced square of yourself!

See the link above for block #73 from the book “300 Paper-Pieced Quilt Blocks” by Carol Doak.

Dress her up and embellish her, dressed up as you in your  profession, favorite hobby or sport…

And don’t forget the accessories!

Finish your blocks with the sew and flip method for a finished look.

Feel free to quilt them also!

We will display these blocks in the WIP room around the guild UFO exhibit.

For more info or questions contact member Marie Deuel

ALSO:

This year's Viewer's Choice/Special Exhibit at our quilt show will be "Pincushions." 

They must be hand made. 

Can be made from a commercial pattern or from an original design. 

No size requirements, but must be a size you would put next to your

              sewing machine to put pins in.  

So be creative, wild, funky.

Turn them in to Bev Delaney for exhibit any time before the show...
