Volume 16 Issue 4 Page 2 SEW WHAT’S NEW Continued from Page 1 meantime, keep making fun things for the Artisan's Market and keep working on your quilt entries. Until then, this basically leaves all of us at home, sheltering with all our projects and fabric. Which might not be a bad thing. I have already pulled several projects to the front of my stacks. I have also pulled my husband to several closets that definitely needed to be cleaned out. He even started on his office which truly needed a cleaning out. So 8 weeks of sewing, without interruptions, along with 8 weeks of potential cleaning out the extra junk at the house. I can do that. Please send pictures of projects and/or finished quilts via email to Marilyn Marusa. She will be put- ting them on our Facebook page for all the see. Even if we need to keep our social distance, we can still see what other guild members are working on. It just might help inspire someone else dur- ing this time of isolation. Please reach out to any of the board members or each other if you have difficulties with the shelter- ing at home. We are great phone gabbers if you just need a conversation or advice on a quilting problem. If you get ill and have no one to help you, give someone a holler. Let's look out for one another for the next weeks of isolation from others. We are a community of people that care for one another as well as quilt together. So, stay safe, keep that social distance from everyone, and quilt on! Fingers crossed - See you all in May! COVID -19 Update Meetings: The important I want you to know right now is that the April Guild Meeting is canceled. The church has remained closed per CDC and State guidelines so no place to meet. More im- portantly, we need to continue to shelter in place. Bettye will be rescheduling our speakers so we won't miss out on them. We will just see them later this year or so. Masks: Myself, Joan Ballew, Marilyn Marusa and Dottie Alexander have been working hard to get simple patterns on line for guild membership. These patterns are for pleated face masks and face mask covers for the respirators used by health care workers. So many of you have already started making masks and I cannot thank you enough. I have even had people outside our guild making masks and leaving them on my porch. Their generosity made me cry. I was able to give 154 masks to hospitals in our area. A collection of pleated masks and covers, along with some children's masks even. The demand is so high for masks and the recipients so grateful. The pleated masks take about 15 minutes to make - the secret is a jeans needle/#16 to sew through the pleats. The mask covers may take slightly longer. The trick is making lots; the more you make, the faster you get at it. I assembly -lined 30 masks and I got them done in a day. And they don't have to be the patterns posted. Use any pattern that you want to use. Just make masks! Supplies: I know that elastic is hard to find right now. Joan Ballew has offered to share some of her supply and I hope to be receiving a bunch via amazon very shortly. I will make a "supply buck- et" on my porch. I will bag up elastic for masks and even bias tape; enough for 5 masks in each baggie. I will leave it on my porch and you can stop by any time. Take what you need and make masks for our community. If you need fabric for masks, let me know. I have lots that I can share. 405 -401 -8794 Judy Volume 16 Issue 4 Page 3 SEW WHAT’S NEW Better late than never...cutest shamrock block From Pat Sloan FREE Shamrock Block, Challenge 17!

  • 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.

  • How to Calculate the Right Number of Stitches
    How to calculate the right number of stitches You have found a great stitch, either in knitting or crochet. You want to use it for your next project. Or you just want to make a simple shape item in one of the basic stitches. Maybe a scarf, cowl, a baby blanket, an afghan, poncho, bag, cushion cover etc. Here’s how you calculate how many stitches you need: Project width x Stitches in sample Sample width Let’s look at this in detail. First: 1. Decide what you will make and how wide it needs to be 2. Decide what kind of stitches you want to use 3. Select the yarn and hook/needles for your project 4. Knit / crochet a small sample piece, using the SAME yarn, hook/needles and stitch you will be using in the project How to make the sample Both knitting and crochet If your project will be knitted/crocheted in the round, make also the sample in the round. After each row, carry the yarn loosely at the back to the start of the row and begin knit- ting/crocheting across the right side of the work again. Crochet – Take the yarn and hook you are planning to use for the project This does not work if you don’t have the same size of the hook as for the actual project! – Make a chain that is over 10 cm/ 4 inches long. A good length is 14 cm / 5½ in. – Start crocheting using the stitches you want for your project. – Crochet back and forth until the piece is at least 5 cm / 2 in long.

  • Basic Guidelines on Using Macrame Rope Download
    BASIC GUIDELINES ON USING MACRAME ROPE FOR YOUR PROJECTS The above photograph is just a few projects that I have created using a variety of macramé stitches. I have experimented using satin ribbon and adding it to hair accessories, as you can see they all look amazing. If you are a beginner, I would highly recommend that initially you follow patterns. This guideline is useful and helpful for beginner and experienced macramé creators. I am still learning & experimenting after several years of making macramé products. How to measure rope/twine/cord/ribbon TIP: – If this is your very first project, I would first practice with some wool (though wool/yarn has a stretch to it, it is good to experiment with and then you will not waste your expensive rope/twine) or an inexpensive rope/twine. Please note that this is a basic guideline and estimation. We all have our own unique way of doing macramé stitches and your stitching will vary from day to day. Some days your macramé stitches are tight and other days they are loose, this will affect the amount of rope/twine that you use. As you use more patterns and create your beautiful macramé décor you will know approximately how much rope or twine to use. As with any creative project, whether you are painting, crocheting or macramé, the more detail your pattern/product is the more material/supplies you will use. Thus your simple macramé pattern, which uses a few square knot stitches to create your product such as a plant hanger will use a lot less rope/twine than a detailed wall hanging/wall art.
