A Change in Plans

snowed in driveway — End of the Road on Sultana (Arnold, CA)

The weather people calculate and look at data. But no one really knows until it happens. Our President made an educated guess and canceled the Monday meeting for the 7th. Bravo!

The Board had to meet using our COVID backup plan – ZOOM

November 14th meeting will be full of FUN – It is Sew Pillowcases Day, and The slate of Officers for the 2023 Board will be Announced. And the usual general announcements and Sew ‘N Tell.

Hope to see ya there!

Let it Rain!

The Quilt Faire is over for this year. All Viewer’s Choice Awards were awarded, and the results are posted on Qur Quilt Faire page.

A storm will be coming in this afternoon, and snow is expected here in Arnold (1,000 feet above Murphys). It’s November 1st, and winter is rearing its cold & ugly head early this year. A lot of us don’t feel ready for this, but it is here just the same.

Take Care & Be Safe!

Don’t Let This Stop You

It’s just a little rain. Wear a jacket and bring an umbrella. I have planned today at the IHQ Quilt Faire for art, shopping, and fun. We need the rain here, so let it rain. Be prepared for it and come out to the Faire!

TTFN!

(Not So) Wild Wednesday

October 20, 2022 Independence Hall QuiltersLeave a comment

Today the show entries were delivered and put in their proper places. The entire morning seemed strange to all quilt faire veterans because there weren’t any lines of people waiting to check-in. It was as if someone was secretly directing traffic.

**Quilt Faire Veterns – Candy Gutierrez, Renorise Nelson-Krause, and Nadine Bowlus**

All entries are works of art, and seeing them in person (instead of in photos) is the best part. For that reason, you will not see any of the show posted here.

ONLY one sneak peek of one entry to whet your appetite. And you know how lousy a photographer I am, so you’ll have to factor that in as well.

This year’s peek is wonderfully unique. I usually choose a more traditional quilt – there are many this year I fell in love with, but this one caught my eye. I decided to choose it as a “teaser” because it would appeal to both young and not-so-young alike…

I would be cheating you if I did not give you a look into our boutique now that it is no longer empty…

**The Baby and Toddler Section brightens up the room**

Our Show Opens Tomorrow, Friday, October 21st, at 10:00 am.

See You This Weekend!
