May 12 - Community Service Sewing - Baby Quilts
  • Common Threads Quilt Guild members will be meeting on Thursday May 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a community sew day. Our project is baby quilts for the Coweta Pregnancy Center. We'll be using 5" squares to sew up easy quilts that these mom's will treasure. What to bring - sewing machine,  lunch, and some good humor. We will provide materials, patterns, and prizes. Please come join in the fun!
May 19  - Post Cards with Kristen Slagle 
  • Postcards, Hearts and Cheer: let's have fun creating small handmade items to bring some cheer to friends far and near. This will be a fun hands-on activity using quilting materials and techniques to say “Hello,” “Welcome,” “Congratulations,” “Thank you” and “You are loved.” 
  • Items to bring:
    • Fabric pens and small stencils,
    • a piece of background fabric approximately 5 x 7",
    • plus small scraps of novelty prints, hand-dyed fabrics, laces, charms, ribbons, and fun little buttons.
    • Hand sewing kit with needle, thread, scissors, etc.
    • Pinking shears if you have them.
    • These are great projects for using up those leftover pre-fused fabric scraps and any orphan blocks that you'd like to cut up.
  • A few sewing machines would be helpful, and
  • irons and ironing pads.
  • Kristen will supply the card stock, fusible and batting pieces for hearts and extra ribbons, fabric scraps, my postcard stamp and a sheet of quilted heart labels.
Spread the word, bring a friend!
