Upcoming Meeting

Hi Gang,
Our next meeting is tomorrow, Tuesday - May 28, in our new space at the South Fork Park Community Center, behind the Cricket's Nest Craft Shop, 4401 Country Club Road in Winston-Salem, NC 27104. Go to http://maps.google.com/  and enter 4401 Country Club Rd 27104 to obtain a map and directions.


Teri Emerson is presenting New York Beauty Blocks:
(from Teri)
"Up until about a year ago, I had no idea that I would ever be able to piece detailed quilt blocks like the New York Beauty.  I have sewn most of my life, but the complexity seemed impossible.  Using paper-piecing techniques has made creating this block a reality for me.  I think you can do it too!
I will demonstrate the freezer paper-piecing method I use.  The pattern I will demonstrate is a large block that will make sewing the convex and concave curves together even easier.  I will also talk about the bias grain of the fabric and how to use it to your advantage and not let the bias take advantage of you.  I hope to see you there!"
