Sewing Machine Covers...

Look what we made !

 

Sewing Machine Covers

Large zip pocket in the front

with pockets and handles on both sides...

We used Pellon Fusible Foam

instead of batting...

it helps the cover keep its' shape.

The Pellon Fusible Foam is also FUN

to machine quilt through...

Lots of storage in all of those pockets !

They are easy on and easy off...

a great way to keep the dust off your

favorite machines...

They also look great in your sewing room !

The Harlan Valley Quilters

Paper Piecing Class...

 

Foundation Paper Piecing Class

at The Harlan Valley Quilters

I brought along a few of my

Paper Piecing books for inspiration...

A few paper pieced quilt blocks

for even more inspiration...

This is a bare bones beginner class:

Everyone completed a square in a square

aka Economy Block with great success...

It was time for a bit more difficulty,

so we are making a Rainbow Star,

which is a 4 section paper pieced block...

Everyone had an opportunity to try out

an Add-A-Quarter Ruler

and liked them very much...

By the end of class,  everyone completed

a Rainbow Star....clap, clap, clap !

Paper Piecing class was a huge success !

Way to go Quilters !

continue to work on our Swoon Blocks...

We began making a block

We all chose our own fabrics

These are 24 inch blocks...

9 Blocks will create an 80 x 80 Quilt...

The first Wednesday of each month

is our day to piece our Swoon Block...

We have all made 3 blocks so far...

By the end of the year we will have

our quilt tops completed...

It has been FUN for us to share

our completed Swoon Blocks 

each month...

We all look forward to meeting up

at The Quilt Palace every Wednesday,

but Murphy enjoys it the most !
