Applique Workshop

Spent the day at The Crazy 9 Patch working on prepping blocks to hand out at Back Country Quilters for the 2014 Opportunity quilt.  Only had 2 ladies show up but all the others are working on blocks at home. I got one prepped and glued down-just needs sewing.  Carolyn is finishing hers at home and she got 18 maple leaves handed out and gathered back finished-way to go!  Emily finished a block as well so all in all a very productive day.

June Happenings

The June meeting will be at our regular time. 6:30pm but it WILL NOT be at The Crazy 9 Patch.  It will be at Oak Tree Ranch on Wednesday June 19th.  PLEASE WATCH YOUR SPEED when entering the park...it's 15 mph while in the park. The park is located about a mile after you turn left on Magnolia from 78 toward Julian.  It is on the right and is clearly marked.  Drive in and park where the large white house is-there is parking around to the right. Don't forget to go to The Crazy 9 Patch for the Shop Hop,  BCQ's get 20% off 1 item.  Thank-you Martha!

Brenda Caster will be doing the demo - a pie taker - she will provide everyone with a pattern.

Bring anything you no longer want from your studios for door prizes-BCQ's are green:)

June is a deadline for the UFO list-I got mine done and I hope you did too.  That list is really helping me to keep on track-thank-you Debbie for initiating it. bring your UFO to the meeting to share and get your name checked on Debbie's list.

On JUNE 12 we will have a second applique workshop.  The one in May went very well.  Thank-you to those who came out-we had a good turnout.  If you would like to help please bring a salad ingredient and what you would like to drink; small iron and pad, starch in a small container, stiletto, small brush, paper scissors and regular scissors.  I will provide lettuce, dressing and plates.

We will have kits to give out at the June meeting and all you have to do is sew on the applique to the backing.  Several people have already taken home kits who were in the Crazy 9 that day-THANK YOU! the deadline is August meeting to have everything back to me so I can assemble the top and get it to Susie by Sept. 1 for quilting.

June 14th is Martha's Scrappy Hour at the Crazy 9 Patch and that is too fun!  6-7pm. Also the quilt run is this month.  Check out Martha's website http://www.crazy9patch.com

JULY 1 is the deadline for submitting quilts to the San Diego Quilt Show. Check out their website.

Hope to see you at the meeting-If you never plan to come to the meetings again and you are getting the e-mails please let us know so we can put you on the inactive list and won't put you in the directory-otherwise, come on out on Wednesday night-we have a good time and you all know Brenda-her demo will be entertaining:) You won't be bored.
