Our May meeting was a visit to Folkwear patterns in Asheville NC https://www.folkwear.com/ Molly Hamilton the owner showed us many original garments from all over the world that were used to create the patters sold by Folkwear. At our June meeting I reviewed the Mini Traveler Pouch pattern by Kandou Patterns available on Etsy. It’s a good pattern with clear instructions. I plan to make a few more of these once I resolve the issue I’m having with installing spring snaps.

Anne used a Chenille-it Quilt Pattern called Vanecian Cathedral Window. https://www.ozquilts.com.au/venetian-windows-chenille-it-quilt-pattern-ozquilts.html The phrase “can you see it from a galloping horse” used today by American Sewing Guild is quite appropriate. Many mistakes made but I practiced using Bernina Stitch Regulator to quilt with, which is challenging to master. Anne Coetser

At our meeting on Thursday, we made pillowcases for the church. The church will receive its first set of volunteers from Michigan on May 1st. They will be working in Swannanoa. The volunteers will be coming every other week for now but probably increase to weekly during the summer.
