Gorgeous, isn't it. You know you want to make one like it. Come to the Southern Ladies Quilt Guild, at 10 a.m., Monday, May 6, 2013 - watch the demo and get help. If you do your homework, you can be just a few cuts and seams away from completing this beautiful quilt. Thanks to Cathy C.
Update on homework for pre-sewing for the May meeting.
(Thanks Cheryl for the updated information)
"Southern Ladies Quilt Guild will Meet Mon May 6th at 10am at Central Church of Christ. We will have a short meeting then on to sewing. Cathy C will be leading us in the Bargello quilt she showed us last month. I spoke with Cathy yesterday about what we need to do ahead of time because some of us got things a little mixed up here is what you need to do & bring with you on Monday:
Do Before You Come:
1: From a Jellyroll select 24 of the 2.5" strips you like.
2:Trim off a small sample of the strips & tape to the cheat sheet you got at the last meeting in the order you want to sew your strips.
3: Sew the long sides of the strips together. You can sew the full strip at one time, less room for mistakes this way. OR you can cut your selected 24 strips on the fold & sew 2 sets keeping the second set in the same order as the first.
4: Mixed Up Yet???? to make this Bargello you need 2 sets of sewn strips they will be called Unit A & Unit B each unit MUST BE IN THE SAME ORDER.
5: It was easier for some of us just to sew each strip the full 40"- 44" strip at one time then fold & cut in half.
6: If you sew all 24 of your strips together & don't understand the cutting part just bring that sewn set with you to the meeting & we will show you how to cut to get both unit sets.
7: Bring your machine, rotary, larger cutting mat & a ruler at least 24" long.
8: bring tape & post it note pad, pencil or pen
9: Basic sewing supplies
10: Clear mind....lol okay I know for someo of us that will be the hard part!"
