Crystal Lake Midwest Quilt Guild will meet on Sunday, February 11, 2024, at the Algonquin Township Building, 3702 Hwy 14, Crystal Lake, Il.
The meeting will start at 11:00.
After the meeting, we will start working on our Rope Bowls.
Attached you find the supply list for the Rope Bowls. You can also view meeting information on the blog (clmqg.wordpress.com) under Rope Bowls Supply list.
**Make sure you bring a machine that has a ZIG ZAG stitch**
We have some exciting retreat information for everyone that will be presented at the meeting.
Please make sure you bring in your 2024 Guild Dues ($40.00. If you went to the retreat you will get a “refund” and your dues are $35.00)
We are doing the Big Jar again this year, so bring your Show & Tell, so your name can go in the drawing.
If you’re attending the bowl making class, you may want to bring lunch and something to drink.
Rope Bowl Supply List
Supplies
- Clothesline rope (recommend 3/16” to 1/4” thickness). Cotton is easiest, or a cotton/poly blend. Avoid rope that is cotton around a poly core, because the outside has a tendency to slip off.
- Fabric strips/scraps. Any strip from ¼” to 1½” will do, but if you want a fully wrapped bowl bring longer strips in larger supply. Bias strips wrap more smoothly but are not necessary.
- Matching sewing thread (50 wt. is best) for the top thread and the bobbin thread. This can either be neutral or colored if you want to see the stitches. Variegated is great for this!
- Sewing machine with a zig-zag stitch
- Heavy-duty sewing machine needle (sharp 100/16, jeans/blue band)
- Sewing pins and clips
- Scissors
Optional
- Stiletto
- A glue stick (any cheap glue stick will do)
- Hot glue gun
