The Cuddle Care Committee has been at it again!  They prepared kits for members to make these darling Minion quilt tops for the children at Norton’s Hospital, and we had a great time working on them.  Over a dozen tops were completed today, and many others were taken to be finished at home.  Thanks to […]

Angelique, our resident “selvage expert”, shared some of her completed selvage projects as well as some “tips and tricks” for helping us complete our coasters.   Help!  I’m drowning in selvages!  (Plenty of selvages were available!) What’s this!?!?  A snarl contest!?!?  Even President Bill got in on the sillies! These two beautiful tops were donated […]

The 2019 LNT Christmas Dinner was full of food, friends, a block challenge, recognitions, show-and-tell, and much laughter.  Thanks to Robbie and the Christmas elves for preparing the room for this big party, complete with holiday centerpieces for door prizes and embroidered ornaments for everyone. Here are our four Susans.  We also have lots of […]

Eight LNT members had a blast “cutting up” at Maryhurst while “cutting out” fabric for Maryhurst bags.  Thanks to a generous donation from Boone Fabrics, we were able to cut fabric to make 320 bags to give to the young people at Maryhurst.  And we still have more fabric! The cut bags filled both the […]

Thank to Terrie for presenting this wonderful class!  Her creations are beautiful! First we wrapped the fabric strips around the clothesline.  Sometimes it became a funny and tangly mess. Then we started sewing.  Even though this was the first time for most to make a clothesline bowl, several were still able to complete their bowls […]

Have you ever found yourself with a steering wheel that was too hot or too cold from the weather?  Susan has the answer! These steering wheel covers were so easy to make with her meticulous instructions! She first taught us how to make a bias binding that would lay flat when sewn to a circle. […]

Thanks to Susan W. for teaching this class on making a Kite in a Square.  Each completed square looks like a kite, and four can be arranged in various ways to make the blocks. This is just one of the many possible layouts. Sew and Tell Angelique’s Christmas Tree wall hanging Kim’s Jelly Roll Race […]

At the last Cuddle Care meeting members made squares utilizing the Quilt-As-You-Go technique.  At this meeting members were shown how to add a sashing to complete quilts for the Children’s Hospital. Thanks to Debbie for taking pictures in my absence.  She sent several photos of members hard at work.  Please take note of the seam […]
