Program Description
Event Details
MAKE IT SEW is a group of quilters and sewists who enjoy making small projects and quilts.
Quick Gift Ideas: I'll bring 5 ideas to share, and you bring a couple (or more) to share! This will help us get a head start on homemade seasonal gift giving! Consider what you've made in the past that was well received by your recipient and share those ideas with us! If you have some instructions to share, let me know and I can print them out for the group. (Can't copy copyrighted info, though. But you can tell us where you got the pattern.)
September Block of the Month: 4" Sawtooth Star Block (read below)
Each month in 2024, we will be learning how to make a different "bitty block" that can be used in large or small projects. If you make a set of "bitty blocks" each month, you can slowly make the row quilt as shown below or use your blocks on various smaller projects.
These blocks are perfect for the beginning quilter, as you will learn 'quilting basics' throughout the year. Quilting Daily shared these free online patterns a few years ago, and they are still available. The URL for the Sawtooth Star block pattern is below:

In this month's class, we will be making the 4" Sawtooth Star block. If you are new to rotary cutting, help will be available! Bring your sewing machine and basic sewing supplies. At the time you register, please let me know if you need to use one of the Library's sewing machines. Rotary cutting equipment and ironing board stations will be available to use at each class.
A kit to make one block will be provided at class. Feel free to bring your own fabric to make more blocks as time permits!
Here is the ongoing project for the year:
