May 2020

May's meeting was on Zoom and there were about 10 of us.  We shared tips and some show and tell.  Diane E. has been having fun with the crayon embroidery technique that Dianne G. shared with us earlier in the year.

Barbara told us how she likes her lock block ruler to square up half square triangles. Jill likes to put this medical tape on the back of her rulers so that they don't slip around while cutting.  Cathie likes the Quilter's Select rulers by Alex Anderson that have a grippy surface on the back.  You can get the tape at Walmart.  I tried it on some of my rulers that don't have anything on the back and it works. It also worked to tape up a pattern on my window that I was tracing. It is repositionable and about  2.98 for two rolls.

Barbara has been trying a new quilt as you go  technique for hexagons.  She is using the 2.5 inch hexagon ruler from Missouri Star Quilts.  This is the back of her table topper.

This is the front of the table topper. Looks like a fun technique!
