My Broken Dishes or you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette

Broken Dishes

This is my 2nd version of broken dished.  The first was made with batik and when I starched my fabrics one of the batiks bled.  Then, when they dried and proceeded I learned I had cut the bocks too big.  So, this time I used fabrics that would not bleed and recut according to instructions with an adjustment for using the EZ Angle ruler for the half-square triangle ruler and Elise's pressing instructions.  Elise showed us how to "pop" your seam so it nests but I forgot so when I got home, I could only pop one and that happened by accident.

I'll be posting more pix of Elise's blocks and mine as I start from the beginning.  Also, be on the look out for a tutorial on a freezer paper pieicng techinque that is good for inset seams.

Meeting Reminder - December 2

Wanted to remind everybody that there is a meeting this Thursday, December 2, at ole HIQ from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.  Elise will be demonstrating an alternate paper-piecing method using freezer paper.  Bring your freezer paper and machine and be prepared to get busy.

Also, we will be virtually meet Karen who will is joining our group from down under.

I scanned copies of elise's notes and sent them to her so she can forward to everybody. See ya soon.
