Moda Club January 2018

It was so wonderful to see so many of you!

Hope we provided a little inspiration...

What a great way to start out the New Year!

Use your scraps to whip up a nice wall hanging for your sewing room or a good friend!

Another nice charm/scrap friendly pattern for the sewing room.... Essentials

 Linda made this one to inspire us!

For January, we are featuring all things hexi!

 

 Lisa and Kathy shared their Lucy Boston Blocks with us.  We have the papers and templates for you to try your hand at a beautiful block.

 Be looking for video links on our facebook page.

If a Lucy Boston Block, seems too intimidating,

this sweet table runner, would be a quick project to try some English paper piecing.

 We have iron on hexi shapes!

If hand sewing hexi's,

 just flat out doesn't appeal ...

 Sugar Cookies is a free pattern at Moda Bakeshop.  This pattern uses a charm pack,

Inner border 1/4 yard, outer border 3/4 yard,

and 3/4 yard for background.  Pattern also calls 

for the Marti Michell template set.

Our featured quilt is Jelly Roll Friendly.

Science Fair by Jaybird Quilts

 Tari made this quilt using 30's Playtime by Moda.

This pattern, and many others, use the

Hex N More ruler 

 

With this ruler, you can make gems, triangles, half and whole hexi's in numerous sizes.

Sew!  Our challenge to you is to try your hand at an English paper piece project.  Lisa and Kathy will be hosting a open sew for more detailed instruction/inspiration.  The date will be posted on facebook and in the shop.  We will have a special door prize drawing, for those of you who bring hexi show and tell to our February Moda Club.

Anna Mary started off show and tell with 

rope baskets.  She is offering to host an open sew on 2/8/18, from 9-12p.m.  

 You will need to bring a sewing machine that you can zig zag on, thread colors of your choice, scraps that are cut to 3/4" wide, a jeans needle for your machine, rope clothesline.  

(A fine guage is preferred.)  

We will be posting lots of hexi inspiration at our facebook page.  Also, look for pictures of

 Show & Tell soon!
