Quilt Guild Demos

In my last post I talked about one of the demos from quilt guild this month. Five of our members volunteered to do a demo instead of having a guest speaker for the month. The five are listed here: Keychain... Mile-a-Minute... Easy Triangle Tool... Great Flying Geese... English Paper Piecing... There were tables set up with chairs around for each demo teacher. They had a timer of about 10 minutes for each and then we moved to the next. It was very organized moving from table 1 to 2 etc... Those starting at 2 went to 3 next etc... Sorry...no photos...I will try to do some of the projects and show later. And I didn't get my FMQ challenge done this month.... it is the first month I have missed for the year... I will get back to quilting... Smiles and hugs....Caryl

Easy Triangle Tool

We had demo night at our quilt guild this month... Wendy Mathson demonstrated her new easy triangle tool...
This tool does all the measuring for you...
I used some charm squares.... marked the lines.... sewed on the lines.... cut them apart....
and in just a short time 20 charm squares... became 20 half-square triangles.... and you don't have to square up.... I bought my easy triangle tool from Wendy... but you can find them at your local quilt shop....
I used Roman Holiday charm squares.............................................. At our quilt guild there were 5 of our members who did demos.... another time I will post about the other demos.................. Smiles and hugs....Caryl
