Wanted: Team Members

The Critical Quilt Fair Committees are seeking team members. The tasks are not difficult, but having enough help keeps them stress-free and fun.

  1. Check Entries into the show (take-in). On Wednesday, October 15th, between 9:00 am and 11:00 am, we accept entries, tag them, and give the owners of the items receipts stapled to a slip of return instructions.
    Need desk workers and “runners.” Training will be provided. Sign up sheet at the front table.
  2. Return entries at the conclusion of the show (take-down). On Sunday, October 19th, at 4:00 pm.
    At 4:00pm on Sunday, the quilts are returned. The pins keeping the drapes in place are removed, then the quilts are removed from the frames and given to “catchers”, who take the quilts and fold them to hang back on the frame, with the ID tag showing.

Detailed instructions will be provided to volunteers (the signees) by the chair before the start of the job. Training practice can be arranged with the chair at any time before or after meetings. These jobs are not complicated – they just have a lot of steps.

Please don’t hesitate to talk with Jodi Greenfield (925) 980-5409 about joining one or both teams!

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!

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!
