It’s Comfort Quilt Day

Monday, January 28th: Bring the supplies you need to use – if you are making kits, you will need a mat, ruler, and rotary cutter. If you want to piece a quilt, then bring your machine and the usual supplies.

If you have not seen this project in action, you are missing out on all the gorgeous colored fabrics spread out on the big table. My favorite part is choosing fabrics and a pattern to make a kit. I like to make the quilts at home because I’m too easily distracted by all the action going on in the Hall.

Just One More Thing…

The Membership Team is working on the 2023 Fall Edition of our member roster. This will be 2023’s final update and will be available at the August 21st meeting.

There is one more thing we ask of you before the summer break -Look yourself up in the Spring Member Directory. This roster should have a date of March 17 (or later), which will be attached to a future email.

Did you look thoroughly? Is all the information correct? Check for typos, transposed numbers, and things completely wrong. I know it’s a rarity, but I have made mistakes a few times. (Especially since the lobotomy)

Please get corrections to the following:
Jodi Greenfield (209-795-7425) or Karen Wallace (970-846-3402) ASAP.

Have a fabulous summer break, and don’t forget Tuesday & Thursday’s Flea Market fun. See ya there!

Free Motion Quilting Class

Mary Sue Budrow demonstrated her skill and passed along valuable tips in her overstuffed classroom on Monday, Jan 31. She did a demo of the stippling technique, and while students were practicing, Mary Sue walked around the classroom to answer questions and offer help. Before I had to leave, Mary Sue helped me figure out how to quilt a panel I was using to make a comfort quilt. I am so happy with the results I am getting. Her knowledge and experience with quilting techniques have benefitted all of us.

You can see how we paid rapt attention to everything she said!
