TCQ SPRING
RETREAT
You may not believe that
kit is coming, but Spring will soon be here and with it….the TCQ Retreat! What a wonderful time has been planned with
great instructors and tons of fun! Even
if you cannot sew all weekend, plan to attend the trunk show and lecture with
Janet Andrews Saturday, April 6 at 7:00.
You could also come for dinner!
The lecture and trunk show is free for Tree City Quilters. Take advantage of this opportunity and have
some fun at the same time.
TIP OF THE MONTH:
Color Choices; develop your personal color style by
noticing only color when visiting quilt shows or looking at quilts in books and
magazines. Note the color combinations
you like best – brights, pastels, or jewel tones, Determine if your preference
is one or two color quilts or scrap quilts.
Cut Smart; to cut the maximum number of pieces
from a fabric strip, open out the strip.
To cut many pieces, layer several strips and cut them at the same
time.
Threading; to make threading a needle easier,
lick the NEEDLE eye to attract the dry thread tail.
