Deb Owen’s opened our very first Let’s Quilt Day in two years at the Westview Baptist Church, our new location. We had time to interact with one another, browse in the library and observe two demonstrations.
How to make half square triangles was shown to us by Marlene Dunlap. The easy angle ruler and companion angle ruler were used together. This method wastes nothing.
There are many videos on line to explain how to use the easy angle ruler, here are two:

Dorothy Maynard demonstrated how to weave with fabric strips. This technique was inspired by watching a YouTube video showing women in Senegal weaving grass baskets. One-inch strips of fabric, cut on the straight grain, are pressed through the 1/2 inch Clover bias tape maker to ensure they are all exactly the same width and then the strips are pinned and woven onto the sticky side of fusible interfacing. She also demonstrated how to put the backing on to produce pillows, placemats, coasters, etc.
