January 2013 Moda Club
This year we are going to feature a fat quarter project each month. This month's project takes 3 fat quarters.
For those of you that like rulers, we now have a fat quarter ruler. It has less markings and is a little easier on the eye for cutting up your stash or fat quarters for projects. Check out the video here.
Our Granny Along is continuing. I'm hoping to get my blocks all put together before the end of this month. We will have a participation drawing for this project in March. It's not too late to play along.
For 2013, we have invited you to make a spool block. The fabric for the "spool" and background were given out at the December and January Moda Club. We will collect them all next month.
Tumbling Blocks
Judy Engle, has lent us her fat quarter quilt for a little inspiration.
This pattern is available in the shop. Fabric is Mod Century.
Mondo Bag
Rose has inspired us to make this Quilt Smart bag. Anyone interested in working on this project can sign up for 2/2/13. We will meet starting at 9a.m. This is going to be held more like a retreat than a class. Group size is limited to 15, so be sure to sign up soon. There is no fee, but your pattern should be purchased at the shop. I will be contacting those who sign up about supplies etc.
Crescent Scarf, by Cabin Fever
Uses any sock weight or DK yarn that inspires you.
Tari shared this beautiful scarf she made.
Next Moda Club 2/20/13

A gift from Jane for Knitters
Jane shared with us cowls made with a "Magic Ball" The Magic Ball, is put together with different types of yarns you have in your stash.
2012 Magic Ball Cowl
-----Merry Christmas from Jane Vandenburg
1 magic ball of yarn… (aprox. 140 to 180 yards, mixed fibers -- sock,Dk,worsted) Make your own from your stash. I suggest that the first and last yarns of the ball match and are about 16 yards long. All other yarns - 8 to 12 yards or so in length. I suggest you use the Russian joint instead of knots as you make the ball.
#11 24 inch circular needle (could be a #10½)
Cast on anywhere from 110 to 140 stitches.
(if using the #10½ needle you will want to use 125 to 140 stitches)
Join to knit in the round
, taking care not to twist the ring of stitches. I suggest the knitted cast on as it is stretchier than the long tail. (Optional – You can place a marker to show the beginning of rounds….. but a marker is not really needed.)
Knit about 5 rounds
to make a curling edge to your cowl.
Now just knit
and knit and knit……… ….. if you get tired of the knit stitch throw in some purls….. 50 or 75 or so here or there, every now and then….. and go back to plain knitting. -- Or – You could knit a round, purl a round, repeat -- Or --You could throw in lines of *YO, k2tog, k1* -- Or -- whatever texture you like.
The last yarn in the ball is the same as the first. When you get to this yarn, knit one round (you can use the yarn joint as your beginning of the round marker) and about 25 more stitches. (or -- work until you have just enough yarn for 2 rounds to use for the bind off.)
Now bind off like this—
Knit 2, slip them back to the left needle, knit them together through the back loop (k2togtbl), now repeat…. *K1, sl 2 back to left, k2togtbl* and keep repeating until you have one stitch left. Knot off, weave in the tail….
….. and ENJOY!

I recieved mine as a gift. It was a surprise as each color/texture of yarn appeared. I cast on 130 stitches, on an 11" knitting needle. I did 4 rows of knit then 4 rows of purl, until I ran out of yarn.
Thanks Jane!

December Moda Club 2012
The last pincusion for this year was presented. It's Laundry Baskets Quilt's,
Our Granny Along will continue through March. For those of you who participate, we will have a door prize drawing then. One entry for each "Granny Square" you use.
As we look toward the New Year, I am looking for club members to make one block for this quilt that I'd like to hang in our club room. At the end of 2013, we will have a drawing for it. Anyone who contributes a block, will get their name in the drawing. It will be up for display all year, for us to enjoy. I hope you will join in the fun. I will have some baggies with spool pieces and background pre-cut for you. You will need to supply the scraps for the "thread" on your spool. Please turn your block in at the January meeting or drop it off at the shop. Due to the Holidays, we will extend this project into next month. So don't worry if you missed getting background strips...I have them for you
New Snap Tote
I'm looking forward to hosting our first "Old Bag's" Group, on January 5th. There are only 15 seats for this group. You will need to purchase the pattern, bring your materials, and sewing machine. There is no fee for the day. It is not going to be run like a class, but more like a retreat day where we will all be working on the same project. Stop by the shop to sign up.
