PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Hello, members!
I finally have all the info I needed from our teacher and can fill you in on all the plans.
Our fall meeting will be held September 25th at the United Methodist Church, 1442 Adams St. in Ashland, NE. This is the same location we have used for the last couple years.
We are very lucky this year to have Myrna Ficken coming to teach. Myrna is a very busy lady and teaches all over the country. She will be teaching her Fowlproof Feathers class and her Creating Spaces class. She will also be bring goodies for us to buy. She has several dvd’s out as well as tools. Start saving your pennies.
Her description of the feather class is we’re going to start with the most simple feather designs and jazz them up until they sizzle. E2E, blocks, borders and fillers.
The Creating Spaces class teaches you to use your imagination to create spaces and how to do things to these spaces to enhance your quilt.
There are a few supplies besides the usual paper and pencil. You need to bring whatever templates or rulers that make shapes that you have. You can also use shapes cut from craft paper. So dig out those paisley rulers and circles and rectangles and hearts and any shapes you can come up with. I would suggest your paper be something bigger than the little notepads some of us carry. Perhaps one of those tablets of drawing paper or at least 8 ½ x 11.
I am attaching Jane’s sign up sheets. Please get these in early as we have to pay Myra part of her fee in advance and pay for her airline tickets.
You will note a slight increase in class fees ($5). Myra will have 2 nights at the motel because she is coming all the way from Maryland. That means some extra meals and charges.
See you in September. I’ll be the one with the Jamaica tan!
