Sew Savvy


Today I went to Sew Savvy at Hi Fashion.  It's a club and they hold meetings quarterly.  They show off new product and demonstrate tips and techniques or specialized feet for the sewing machines.  It's always fun and informative.  They also show us what is coming up in the way of classes.  This quilt is one that Trista made and will be teaching.

This quilt is from Tula Pink's Modern Quilt Blocks book (made by Kari).  I bought this book awhile ago and I've signed up for this class.  It starts in April and I'm really excited about it.  It will almost be more like a Block of the Month than a class.  I plan to use inspiration from this book to make a modern miniature quilt too.  We'll see how that goes :)

Trista paper pieced this quilt top and will be offering this as a class too.  This pattern came from the Modern Quilt magazine.

One of the best parts of Sew Savvy is Show and Tell!  We get to see all of the fun stuff the members are working on.  I thought this was interesting.  One woman in the group bought the Sashiko machine - which is a machine that just does the Sashiko running stitch!  But she quilted this quilt with it and it gives it a hand quilted look!  Fascinating!



Cute table topper.  Makes you hungry to look at it :)


Somebody used their design software to create this beautiful piece.


Another pretty quilt with interesting borders.

Fun times!  I'm excited to get busy working on something - just need to find the time :)
