Our show was the main topic of discussion this evening. We have reserved the racks and all seems to be steaming towards the big event. Sandra brought some beautiful cards she has made, featuring quilts from our last show. Her daughter has some at her store, Artistri, and we will be selling them both at our Christmas dinner and at our show. These would make great gifts- unique and truly attractive.
We welcomed a new member, Charlotte - it's always special when we have someone jump on board with us. If anyone knows of a quilter , or would-be quilter, looking for a home, bring them along!
Our retreat dates for next year have been confirmed for the end of November (I think 25-27)- yes, that's right- November- everything else was booked up! We have been put on a waiting list for two September weekends, so we'll see. These retreat houses are popular- especially if a large work space is needed. Put this on your calendar- if you haven't tried a retreat before, you'll find the experience to be one you'll look forward to each year!
Apparently Anna handed out the challenge for this year last week - if you missed as I did, you'll need to pick up your individualized challenge from Anna. She's done an amazing job, all based on the first letter of your name. Beyond that, I couldn't hope to describe properly!!
Show and Tell was, as always, a treat. Audrey brought two owls ( remember France's owls?) which are adorable. Linda's retreat quilt destined for her grandson is almost finished - theme- CARS! Lise is venturing into applique , with France's help, and Pam is hoping to get her food challenge finished - it looks terrific! We have to work on the photography part of this - it's never been my strong point! Allison circulated some interesting books- I'm looking forward to spending more time with the feather technique one sometime.
Remember- the CQQ AGM is on Oct. 16 - details on their website or in the Journal - quite a few of us plan to go, so consider joining us. Last year was lots of fun- looking forward to this year. You'll need a lunch, a mug and the fabric pieces outlined in the Journal for the mystery square along with a basic sewing kit.
Happy Quilting!
