Re-cap of August meeting

Thanks to Karen Young for an excellent program on Photo Transfers. Karen showed examples of several techniques she has used. Her directions  made it simple enough to take our fright out of the process! Quilters are visual people, once we see, we can do.  Two of the products used are 606 Spray and Fix adhesive and TAP (Transfer Artist Paper)  with Leslie Riley, both are available at the Bernina Shop.

There is a new bead shop in downtown Chattanooga located at 400 E. Main Street called Bead Therapy suite 210-A, located across from the ChooChoo. Susan Council is the proprietor.

Diane Rose, The Blind Quilter, will be in the Chattanooga area soon, Look her up online and begin to save your scrap fabrics and thread, which she collects to maker her projects.

Be sure to volunteer on the sign up site for the AQS show, coming Sept. 16-19.

GT "Bird Challenge" due at October meeting.

See you next month,

Denise
