President message:
Sew many tips:
* Stress Reliever: to hope those days in the office when the stress gets to be a little too much. Keep a few 4" squares of your favorite fabric on your desk, just to feel it. It's amazing what the feel of fabric can do for a quilter who would rather be home sewing then coping with the stresses of life.
* Use a cloth grocery bags to wrap quilts that you make for gifts. Tie a ribbon and bows to the handles ans stuff in some tissue papers to make a pretty package. The added bonus is your are recycling.
* When you finish a quilt put leftover blocks in to a plastic zip bag with the instructions and extra fabric. Label the bag "Practice Kit." give these kits to your grand kids, or daughters or your granddaughters of your friends or your friends. They will enjoy practicing and are becoming interested in quilting.
* When there is little pressing to do, use half of a spring-loaded clothespin to press seems while you are setting at your sewing machine.
* Make a portable ironing board from a fireproof gypsum ceiling tile. cover one side with a layer of cotton batting and then wrap cotton buck cloth around the board. .Fasten the fabric with glue or double stick tape. This makes a handy lightweight board to carry to workshops or to use on your cutting table.
