April 2024 - Community Sewing Project
This was the best-attended meeting for a very long time! Many sewists showed up to cut, sew, press, measure, and socialize and share with other members. It was so wonderful to see so many of you and Denise provided “service with a smile,” helping those of us unfamiliar with machines finish multiple fidget blanket bases with attached twill tape handles and backing turned pillowcase style. It was great to see Rachel and her kids in the evening as a special treat!
May 2024 - “I’m Stuck”—Crowdsourcing solutions for sewing/design problems
Several members asked the group how to solve a variety of problems, ranging from a curtain that was not quite wide enough, altering parts of garments, and other perplexing problems. There was enthusiastic participation, and we look forward to hearing about whether and how they were solved.
June 2024 - Visit to Wisconsin Museum of Quilting and Fiber Arts, Cedarburg WI, June 13 10:00 am
Road trip! We traveled to Cedarburg to view an amazing exhibition titled "25 Million Stitches: One Stitch, One Refugee." Each stitch on these
407 muslin banners represents a single displaced human being as counted in the UN’s High Commissioner on Refugees 2019 report.
2,300 stitchers from 37 countries and all 50 states contributed to this breath-taking exhibit, which will be available for viewing until July 28.
