Flash Quilt Day

Welcome quilters of all skill levels! Please join us Saturday Jan 11, 2025 in the vestry for a fun day of sewing and community. We will be working to complete the 2025 Harvest Moon Fair raffle quilt: Colors of the Silk Road. AND bring a friend!

We will start at 10am and finish up around 2pm. Our blocks are constructed using a “broken rail block”–Very simple! — We have already started these blocks (at our March Flash quilt gathering). I will bring completed blocks, additional materials, and provide cutting and sewing directions at our Saturday gathering.

What to bring:
– a working sewing machine (that you know how to use), be sure you have your pedal and the machine power cord!
– a 1/4 inch foot (seam allowance is 1/4 inch)– if you do not have this, fear not- we can work around it…
– sewing and cutting tools (scissors, seam ripper,etc) and thread (neutral is great do not worry about matching colors).
– cutting rulers
– sewing threads, needles for the hand quilting project
– extra fabrics- Cream / light tone on tone values especially welcome ( will have a small selections as well)
– water bottle/ beverage and lunch and/or snack ( NOTE: we will not eat/drink in the vestry- this is a mask optional environment- Certainly plan to snack in the narthex, courtyard- weather dependent, or find an open meeting room)

***Iron/ Ironing board (we only need a couple- your willingness to bring this would be a great help)

Hope to see you there!
