WHAT IS THIS?

Another mystery object.......What do you think it is? I will give you a clue: It is something to do with sewing, it was made in Denmark and cost 5/6d. It measures 7 inches long, is made of steel and there is a very narrow gap right through the middle up to the round hole at the top. Please, if you think you know what it is, send you answers to the blog. Doesn't matter how wacky your idea is it could just be the answer. If you are not sure how to get onto the blog just click on the link on our web site to email me and I will let you know how to do it.

CUT AND SPLASH WORKSHOP

NEEDS LIST FOR CUT AND SPLASH WORKSHOP
ON 23rd APRIL
BERWICK VILLAGE HALL
10am - 4pm

FABRIC;

For 24 blocks you need 8 different 15" squares. For 36 blocks you need 12 different 15" squares. Any cotton fabric will do, but it is a good idea to mix prints, plains and colours.

1. Cutting mat and ruler
2. Rotary cutter
3. Sewing machine and extension lead
4. Neutral thread and usual sewing kit
5. Iron and Ironing board (2-3 can share)

IF YOU WANT A SMALL QUILT LIKE ONE OF THE PICTURES ABOVE YOU COULD USE 8 DIFFERENT FABRICS AND 2 SQUARES OF EACH. THIS WILL MAKE 48 BLOCKS AND WITH 3" SASHINGS AND BORDERS MAKES A 58" X 44" QUILT

FABRIC SWAP 15 inch sq

The size of the square for the fabric swap on Tuesday the 14th April is now 15 inches. The reason for the change is because those of you wanting to do the extra workshop with Gunnel
'Cut & Splash' will need to take 15" squares. You will be cutting and sewing and then cutting again. You will need a sharp blade in your rotary cutter!I will put the needs list up nearer the time.
