Please join us for our Thursday's night meeting:
Thursday, September 3, 6:30 pm
State Fair Show and Tell
The Jeffersonian Paper-pieced Woven Star
You can come early to socialize and help with setup.
In addition to normal show and tell, it’s time for State Fair Show and Tell! If you entered anything in the Fair, please bring it (along with your ribbons!) for a special show and tell.
Afterwords, we will continue our star sampler with a Paper-Pieced
Woven Star. Paper Piecing is a bit like the Ginger Rogers of quilting -
it’s a little bit backwards and in high heels, but the results are precise and
crisp. In addition to your usual sewing supplies, you will need:
4 3”x5” rectangles (in focus colors)
4 3”x7 1/4” rectangles (in focus colors)
2 6” squares cut once on the diagonal (background color)
4 5” squares cut once on the diagonal (background color)
You can make this star totally scrappy, or make it more “ribbon like” by using pairs of one 3”x5” and one 3”x7
1/4” rectangles in the same color. Directional fabrics are not recommended for this pattern.
