IGP Quilts

We accomplished great things last Thursday. With the quilt sets given from our day of service at church we were able to get all of them layered and the edges sewn. Next month we will learn how to machine quilt and tie them. Thank you to Shirley, Cynthia, Felicia and Heidi for coming and helping! Please join us in June.
  
 

IGP Aprons!

Thank you to Cynthia, Melisa, Julie, Kristel and Katrina who showed up for our IGP night! We had a lot of fun. Cynthia brought scrumptious treats and we had all sorts of aprons being made. They turned out really cute. I hope you ladies all got a good nights sleep!
  
   

IGP Night! Thank you Lyric.

Lyric taught us several things we need to do in order to have a great sewing experience with our machines.

1. Brush out your bobbin case each time you wind a new bobbin.
2. After every project, take apart your machine and clean it out and give it some oil on the moving parts. One drop will do it.
3. Use good thread.
4. Change your needle after each project.
I am sure I am forgetting something. We talked a little bit more about how to adjust your tensions, what kind of presser feet to use and different kinds of needles.

Here is Velma, all taken apart.
 
Heidi, Kristel and I were having a challenge to see who took out the most lint. It is amazing where this stuff can be found. Here is our pile. It was pretty gross.

Thanks again Lyric. We really enjoyed learning from you. Next month, we will be making aprons. Yippee!

IGP Night!

We had so much fun at our first, monthly, IGP (instant gratification project) night! Thank you to all who attended. I hope you had as much fun as I did creating, talking, eating, and fixing our mistakes (mostly mine, but who's keeping track?!)
