April Meetings

Hello ModGals!

Hope you are enjoying this wonderful spring weather.

Due to this being Eater weekend, we will not be having our Sit-N-Sew this Saturday, April 7.

Have you been working on your Mini Challenge? We will be exchanging Minis on our next meeting, Wednesday, April 18 (yes, we were bumped from Thursday!) Please let us help if you're still having trouble with you Mini :-)

Do you have a quilting tool you absolutely love? Would you like to share with the rest of the group how it has made your quilting easier, better, etc.? Bring it on the 18th for our "Tool Show-N-Tell", and if you have any finished quilts, totes, etc. to share, bring them and inspire us all.

Happy Quilting,

The ModGals

Revised supply list for Travel Iron Tote

Hi Everyone,

The reason for the change in yardage is that the actual pattern we are using is for the largest size tote and the information in the previous post was for the smallest size tote.

The actual fabric requirements are as follows:


21" x 28"  Main fabric for caddy body - and (2) 4" x 14" pieces for handles (cut yardage = 2/3 yd)
21" x 28"  Heat resistant Ironing Board Fabric (included with pattern) with cotton batting same size               or pre-quilted Insul-Brite (available at shop)
(2) 1" or larger pretty buttons (shank buttons work well)
9"  of 1/4" elastic
1/4 yd fabric for binding

You will also need non-permanent quilt marking pens or pencils and at least a 24" ruler for marking lines on the fabric.  If you use the flat ironing board fabric with batting you will need safety pins the secure the layers for quilting.

If you have any questions please call me at Artisan Fabrics: 225-570-8819.
