1. Inkjet Printer Fabric -- Judy Prince
a. Judy was asked about how she put the images on her Cowboy Heritage Quilt. This is what she used.
This product is more popularly used for quilt labels, but can be used to put any image or text that can be produced by a computer. Let your imagination fly!
2. Fabric Magic -- Sylvia Pankhurst
a. Sylvia brought in a sample that had fabric puffed up between the quilting lines she had sewn in a grid pattern. She showed us the product shown below.
i. Stitch the "Fabric Magic" fabric on the quilting fabric.
ii. Quilt in whatever pattern you wish. A tight pattern will only puff slightly.
iii. Steam the back of the fabric. That is, the "Fabric Magic" side.
This product is available locally at Imagination Unlimited.
3. Religious Fabric -- Sylvia Pankhurst
a. Sylvia told us about the "Native Life" quilt shop in Browning. They have plenty of religious fabric if anyone is looking.

1. The '10 Minute Block' -- Sylvia Pankhurst
a. This is a sample of one layout of 4 of the 10-Minute-Block. The squares are 5". It takes only 3 seams to create these blocks.
b. Sylvia handed out instructions for each of us.
c. The books below have further ideas for 10-Minute Blocks and 5-Minute Blocks.
d. After folding the middle square in half wrong sides together you sandwich the folded piece (short side into the seam allowance and fold toward the middle of the blocks), between two of the 5" squares. All pieces should be aligned to one edge.
e. Now you use the other side of the folded piece to attach the other two 5" squares in a similar manner as described in "d". You now have an "H".
f. Bring the two squares from one side to the two squares from the other side. The center square needs to be folded neatly with equal amounts on either side of the center seam line between the two halves. Be sure to lock your seam allowances to get a perfect match. Sylvia finds it easier to sew half the seam and then the other half.
g. This is a picture of the back of the completed block. This block hasn't been ironed and yet it looks as if it has.
h. Here are three samples.
All three quilts were made by Judy Prince.
