· COST? $15.00(includes pizza/water for lunch!) Feel free to bring snacks to share if you like.
· MATERIALS? One jelly roll of your choice and approximately 2 yards of background fabric to make 12
· Pine Tree Blocks (each measuring 16 ½” x 15”). And of course… your sewing machine and personal sewing belongings needed to sew. Small cutting mat, rulers and cutter, small iron and pressing mat,extension cord, light, a seat cushion (?) and anything else you think you might need.
Marcia recommends a new needle (80/20) Universal and a ruler with a
45 degree marking on it.
Please note: If you would rather use fabric yardage instead of a jelly roll, bring ¼ yard of fabric for your tree and another ¼ yard of background fabric for each tree block.
Marcia mentioned that participants could probably finish at least 3 PINE TREE blocks at the Mini-Retreat!
Enjoy a day of sewing with guild members and learn how to make a PINE TREE block, too! And, maybe finish a POTTER COUNTY PINE TREE pillow or wall hanging!
Also, lunch and door prizes to round out our day! We will have a table set up for “free” stuff! If you have quilting/sewing books/supplies/fabrics, etc., that you would like to offer up for free, please bring them to the workshop!
