The guy on the left is Mr. Mouse! He's the one smiling and
handing me money! Way to go Bob. Bob's favorite outfit in
College was his black and white buffalo plaid shirt and
blue jeans! The fellow on the far right is my Dad, always
waiting patiently for us to finish shopping. We don't know
who the man in the middle is, but I think he could be
someone's husband? Does he resemble anyone you
know?

ONLY 2 WEEKS OF CLASSES LEFTand I'm off for the SUMMER! I can't wait. I need a break. Whew,
what a year! with Oaks in September, numerous quilt guild shows and Shop Hop it's been pretty
exciting so far. Wonder what the rest of this year will bring our way? The biggest event for me will be
Tom and Kara's wedding in September. I'm just so happy and thrilled to have another daughter in the
family. Love you Kara! Of course, Oaks is just 2 weeks before the wedding. Timing is everything. Oh
yeah, and school starts back 3 weeks before the wedding. You see how the next school year is going
to be don't you? One day at a time, Claire, one day at a timei!
Our groups are all flourishing. Embroidery group just started the new Crabapple Hill pattern:
Gardner's Alphabet. We will be getting the Cosmo Seasons floss in to go with it, but right now it's on
a slow boat from Japan. The applique society is stitching a number of different projects, and
unfortunately, I love them all. I just can't do them all. But I WANT to!! How to do more? hmmmm. The
Art Quilt group is working on a set of challenge projects. Bonnie Hunter gals are lost in a pile of half
square triangles and strip pieces for their Orca Bay quilts. We LOVE it! How much fun are we all
having?? I'm having a blast, I can tell you.
Some beautiful new Hoffman fabrics came in with cranes and Koi. It is just breathtaking. Sue took
some home to work on a sample. I'm sure you can come up with some great ideas also!
Remember, there's always something new at the Mouse!
See you soon,
Claire

| HERE ARE THE DIRECTIONS FOR THE EASIEST 1/2 SQUARE TRIANGLES EVER! FROM MISSOURI QUILT COMPANY For all our Bonnie Hunter Scrap Quilters and anyone else who hates making 1/2 square triangles. Put 2 squares, right sides together. Stitch 1/4" from the edge all the way around the square. Then cut twice on the diagonal. Voila! 4 perfect HST!! See our Facebook page for more pictures. |
Here is the formula and chart
If you have a square and want to know
what size HST it will make
Beginning Square Size x 0.64 = HST size.
If you knew the size you needed your HST to
be, but wanted to find out how big to cut
your beginning squares, you would use this
equation instead:
HST / 0.64 = Beginning Square Size.
Always do a sample before you cut all your
fabric!
