November Meeting: Four-Way Applique
Some folks love applique, some folks are indifferent, and some folks are terrified by it. So, we asked some experienced applique folk to teach us their favorite techniques.
Julia Bailey: Wool applique
Lynn Moody: Applique, using interfacing
Ruth Hutmacher: Applique, using freezer paper and spray starch
Penni Myers: Machine applique

January Class: Glorious Sweatshirt Jackets!
Gloria Zirges leads this workshop on making elegant jackets from sweatshirts. We will have a fashion showoff at our November meeting. If you have already made one of Gloria’s sweatshirt jackets, please wear it to our November meeting.
Class participants will need a long-sleeved, crew neck, medium-weight sweatshirt with set-in (not raglan) sleeves. The ribbing should be removed from the cuffs and the bottom of the sweatshirt. Students will also need about 20 different fabrics in the palette of their choice. Some of the fabrics should be cut into 2.5 x 3.5-inch rectangles before the class. Scraps and “jellyrolls” work well. It’s important to have a variety of fabrics.
When you sign up for the class, you will get a handout with specific directions for preparing your sweatshirt and fabric before class.

A Gentle Reminder: Get ‘Er Done Project
Are you working on your #6 project? Are you done with it yet? Number 6 was drawn at the October Guild meeting to work on this month. If you get it done and bring it to Show and Share OR send us a picture of it, finished, you will be entered into a drawing for two wonderful prizes.
We will be drawing a new number at the November Guild meeting to work on in the next month, so let’s get those November projects finished! (I’ve been gone for the last three weeks and still hope to finish my #6, which is a Silent Auction donation, before the meeting on November 14, 12:30.)
And, remember, as Rob Appell once said, “Finished is Better than Perfect!”
