Reminder for tomorrow's meeting

Here are the specifics for tomorrow's meeting:

January 2009 - Rag Purse
You will need
40 - 4" squares and 1- 8" square for the outside
40 - 4" sqiares amd 1- 8" square for the linning
40 - 4" squares and 1-8" square of flannel
2 pc of fabric 26"x4" for the handles and the same amount of interfacing
1 pc of fabric 12x12" for the inside pocket
Machine, (just straight stitching) thread, scissors etc.

Take the 3 sets of 4" squares and stack them, stitch through all three layers with an "x" from corner to corner. Have these stacks completed before the meeting tomorrow.

(Note from Shannon: I figured out a faster way to do this. Cut 16" squares of the three fabrics. Mark a four inch grid on the top piece with chalk. Stack the three pieces and stitch the x marks through all the layers....it will look like this:



Cut apart along the blue lines, and you have 16 of the stacks completed! You'll need to make three sets to have all 40 pieces. There will be a few extras.)
