The demonstration is finally behind me. I was a little shaky but all in all it went pretty well. After all, most of the attendees sew with me every Thursday. I consider them friends.
The only picture was one of me with the quilt that I will show a little way down the page.
I was demonstrating the QCR (Quick Curve Ruler) by Sew Kind of Wonderful. And the quilt sample was Metro Rings. This was the first demo I have ever done so I made a design board for each picture in the instructions.
I have made this quilt twice. One for my friend, posted here. And one for the motorhome here.
I cut all the parts for the entire quilt. But I really wasn't planning on making another one at this time and I didn't want another UFO on my list so, after the demonstration I asked if anyone would be interested in taking the KIT and finishing the quilt. Multiple hands went up so then I asked if anyone was NOT interested in it. There were none. So, I took the sign in sheet and used a random number generator to choose.
It was a true kit. Some of the parts still needed the curve cut made so I loaned the ruler along with the instructions. The winner was tickled. I think, but not sure, that she is somewhat of a beginner. I told her if she had any questions, I would be glad to help.
So here are the other quilts I finished for this demo.
Chic Picnic is also a Sew Kind of Wonderful pattern using the QCR. The prints in this quilt were all picked up from the free table at guild meeting a year ago. There was even enough for the binding. Makes me feel good to make do.
It appears that I may have cut it a little close on the length of the backing fabric. That was a little scary.
The next one was made with the Mini QCR. I put this one together with nothing but scraps. That also makes me feel good.
It's quite a small quilt so it will be donated. It was a fun one.
I passed the books around during the demonstration and the woman that is in charge of our Quilts of Valor found a flag pattern made with the Mini QCR and has asked if I would make one that she could use for the center of a QOV. So, I have added it to my to-do list.
And I'm back to rolling the dice and have already finished a flimsy, moved it to the to be quilted tub and drawn another to go in tub #6. YYYAAAAAYYYY!!!!
Until next time.....
Wishing you more stitchin time than I will have.
