Today was our quilt guild meeting. We meet at 10am at the Senior Center here in Lebanon. I did the program today. It consisted of discussing using our leftovers as the basis for design. We had a really small group as most are out and about on vacations or possibly working.
If you would like to check us out, here is our guild blog. We are called the Santiam Scrappers!! Guild-2/25/15.
That's all for now. I need to put all my things back and re-organize the sewing room!!!
Take Care, Happy Quilting, and keep those pins sharp!!! Martha
How do you make those cards? Do you have instructions that you want to share? Love it.

I'm doing them a little different now, using Pellon Extra Firm, it isn't quite as heavy as the Peltex and I like the results better!!
I should do another tutorial soon with exactly how I am now doing it. But this post from 2013 will get you on your way and it has links to a couple other tutorials by friends of mine. Hope that helps!!!
a well deserved award for a beautifully done post card, doing so small can be so fiddly but this has worked wonderfully
ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret!! I love that little postcard, it was fun to do for such a great cause. But also reminds me of home. I grew up on the Oregon coast and remember finding sand dollars while my mom and dad dug for razor clams!!!
DeleteCongratulations Martha! That is one sweet postcard, so very Oregon! Hope you're having a great summer!
ReplyDeleteHi Pat and Thank You!! Yes, that little postcard is SO Oregon. I have many memories of finding sand dollars at the beach. We went to Gearhart a lot to dig for clams. I would hunt for shells while the parents dug in the sand!!! We are having a hot summer but the garden is loving it!! We are already eating lots of cucumbers and tomatos!!! Take Care!!!
DeleteGetting that Honorable mention is fabulous, but the $$$$ it brought in is incredible. Congrats to you and to Wendy's Wish.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I am thrilled with Honorable Mention!!! But the money that it brought for Wendy's Wish was incredible!!! What a great cause and I feel so lucky to have been a part of it!! Thanks for the visit and have a lovely Sunday!!!
