    4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide

    4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide Crocheting is one of the oldest needlework arts. To crochet means to form yarn or thread into a fabric using a hook. Its name comes from the French word croche, meaning “hook.” The crochet hook was one of many tools first used to make delicate lace. As time went on, more stitches and designs came into being, and crocheting became a separate art. Crocheting appeals to many people because it can be used to make a variety of creations, such as scarves, caps, vests, sweaters, purses, belts, lace, doilies, tablecloths, afghans, pillow covers, and bedspreads. In the 4-H Crocheting Project, you can learn to: • Crochet articles for yourself and others • Select, use, and care for crocheting tools • Work and share with others in your club • Keep simple records of your project and activities The 4-H Crocheting project is divided into six phases. Skills to learn and suggested articles to make are on page 2. Your club leader will teach you how to do basic crochet stitches and help you find patterns to use as you learn. When you reach the advanced phases, you’ll need to choose patterns from a variety of pattern books, needlework books, and magazines. You can find these at newsstands, notions counters, fabric stores, or specialty shops that sell yarn and thread. If you want to show others what you learn in the Crocheting project, check with your leader about exhibiting articles at fairs or other community events. If you make an article to wear, you might like to model in your county 4-H fashion revue.

It was the fall of 2013. Some of you may not have even owned your business in the yarn industry yet, while others of you had been at it for well over 20 years. Some of you had not yet become parents; others were close to becoming empty nesters. A lot can change in five years, but of course, a lot can stay the same. Five years ago, Yarn Market News made a change. Because of dwindling advertising dollars, we announced that we would be publishing three issues a year instead of five. And this issue marks our first all-digital issue, born out of both a desire to go green and to help the magazine’s struggling bottom line.

    Patchwork and Quilting Holidays - 2021 Project Choices & Kit List

    Patchwork and Quilting Holidays - 2021 Project Choices & Kit List Project Choices: Samplers, Seminole, Beautiful Bargello & Delectable Mountain For 2021 we are going to continue our exploration of all things sampler and stripy, as well as offering the lovely Delectable Mountain! Sampler Blocks and the new Seminole Sampler Patchwork (where the patchwork patterns are worked in rows rather than blocks) are fun and very versatile and great for learning lots of new patchwork techniques. Choose from a wide range of designs to make useful and beautiful items. Beautiful Bargello projects will still be available, plus Clare‘s new Modern Art Bargello designs - one using wonderful batik landscape fabric for a quick and easy `cheats‘ Bargello and the other a pictoral quilt with a flexible Bargello section within it. New for 2021 are several variations of the traditional design - 'Delectable Mountain'! This is a lovely design with a modern feel if made with just two contrasting plain fabrics - or it is an ideal scrap buster or layer cake project for a very different look. Once the blocks are made (with Clare’s favourite ‘speedy’ method) there are many different ways they can be used, so lots to play with! Christmas 2021 - Join us for a festive Christmas Patchwork Weekend! Make a quick Christmas quilt, wall hanging, table runner, placemats, coasters, or bunting; lovely for your home or to give as gifts. We’ll be focusing on quick techniques and projects in time for Christmas! Guests will as ever be very welcome to bring along their own projects to work on. Our patchwork and quilting holidays offer a great opportunity to finish those UFOs (Unfinished Objects) or WIPs (Works In Progress) - with the luxury of time, space and expert advice on hand if needed – you can finally see those projects completed! If you have a kit you've started and gotten stuck - or been unable to start at all - do bring it along and we'll get things moving.

  • Sewing Machine Needle Tips

    Sewing Machine Needle Tips

    Quilters Corner 518 West State Street Ithaca, New York 14850 Authorized PFAFF & Baby Lock sewing machine dealer 607-266-0850 www.e-quilterscorner.com Sewing Machine Needle Tips Did you know that you should change your machine needle every 6-8 hours of sewing? It's true! Changing your needle is one of the best preventative machine maintenance tasks you can do. You want the tip of the needle to be super sharp to go through your fabric without catching the threads. As you stitch, the tip of your needle will get microscopic nicks. The longer you sew on that same old needle, the more your pretty stitches will start to deteriorate. Why spend time sewing crummy stitches? Don't forget while changing your needle to take off your needle plate and brush your machine's teeth (clean around and in between the feed dogs, etc). If you don't do this, eventually you'll have dense pads of lint collecting and building up and it will effect how your fabric feeds. You should also clean around your bobbin area every time you change your bobbin. Just a quick swipe with a little brush will do the trick. What needle should you use? Quilting Needles are made especially for piecing and machine quilting. The special tapered design allows for easier fabric penetra- tion and helps eliminate skipped stitches. If you are having trouble burying your threads while quilting, try a single hole plate. The smaller hole in the plate helps keep the fabric from pulling through to the bobbin and the bobbin thread from pulling to the top.

This interview also is available in video format, filmed by Nicky Lee. [A]. 001 Born in Ames, Iowa, October 16, 1944. After college, choice between Colorado or Maine. Once here, knew she wanted to be here. 002 Moved to Boulder in 1969 and got a job as secretary at Neodata which used to be where Kaiser Permanente is now, Broadway and North. Crossroads was new in 1969. Seemed so far east then, now Crossroads feels like it’s central. Town felt smaller. Not so many people had moved in from other states. IBM and Storage Tek was here but not nearly the high-tech scene as there is today. 004 Lived at 5th and Valley View. Then lived on Valmont on a diary farm, across from a chicken farm. Rent was $75 a month. 005 Downtown shops at that time: mentions Kahn’s Women’s Clothing Store, Cotrell’s, Valentine Hardware. Woolworth’s (calls it Ben Franklin, but later corrects herself—was Woolworths. Ed: Ben Franklin was in the same shopping center as Colony Supermarket, see below): lunch counter faced Broadway. Potter’s Drug Store. 006 At Broadway Shoppes (Alpine and Broadway): Gene Lang Pharmacy, donut shop, Colony Supermarket. Ideal, which is still there, was there now. 007 Involvement with Boulder Arts Co-op. Saw ad in paper for interested crafts people to show up at 16th and Walnut.

I have to admit that I am excited to be doing this. I always thought that it would be great to be a motivational speaker, and this series will let me pretend that I am! So let me tell you what I have in store for you. This blog series is going to last the rest of the year and I plan on delving into most aspects of starting and running a Machine Quilting business. Each month, the blog posts will focus on a different subject. Here is the tentative schedule: August: Before You Start This month’s topics will discuss machines, space, and the other things you might want to consider before deciding to start quilting for others. September: Getting Started Wondering if you are ready to start quilting for others? Or wondering how much you should charge? In September we will dive into those topics as well as other things about getting started. October: Up & Running Running a business is more than just bringing in customers, you need to have a plan.
