ZOOM On In!

March 6, 2023March 6, 2023 Independence Hall Quilters

Due to being bombarded by a repeating cycle of snowstorms, the quilters in Arnold, CA, cannot hold their Monday meetings at the “Hall.”

We have a brief break in the weather today and tomorrow, then another storm rolls in for the weekend and most of the next week. This means our Monday meeting will be held on ZOOM. Again. Don’t get me wrong, we have a lot of laughs, get some business done, and are able to visit with and see each other.

Alas, not all members are able to ZOOM. Only 25% of members come to a ZOOM meeting. This makes me sad. I would love to see at least half of our members zooming into a meeting.

That being said…
All that you need is a computer that is connected to the internet (if you use email, you are connected) and to contact Jodi, who will walk you through the easy steps to connect to our ZOOM meeting.

I double-dog dare you!

A Change in Plans

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!

A Peek (behind the scenes)

October 17, 2022 Independence Hall Quilters

As promised…

All these pictures were taken on Monday the 17th.

The first batch, taken between 9 and 10 am, show the “naked” Boutique and the Exhibit rooms. Then the work in progress, along with worker bees. Finally, the Boutique is ready to unpack, and the showroom has frames and drapes ready and waiting for Wednesday when the quilts are hung.

I just noticed the gallery arrangement switches the images around, so they are not staying in order. I’m sure you can figure it out. We all worked hard, and Tuesday is declared a “day of rest.”
