October 2013 Meeting

Things of note:

QUILT SHOW October 18th and 19th. 10-4 at Mountainview Community Church

Christmas party at Ramona Grill (used to be the Sizzler) December 4th at 6:30pm

Free Quilt Pattern:
This quilt pattern is available until October 31 from Michele Foster on Quilting Gallery.  There are 18 lessons which cover 1/4" seams, 1/2 and 1/4 square triangles, square within a square etc.  You can download the pattern for free.  You can click on the Aiming for Accuracy button on my blog to access the patterns:
Elaine's Blog


There is a checkered border (2"squares) that hasn't been added yet
We had a great meeting to get ready for the quilt show that is quickly approaching.  We have just under 100 quilts to display, great food in the snack bar, vendors to purchase unique gift items, and the consignment store to buy affordable yardage, kits, patterns, etc. There are also tickets to buy for the beautiful gift baskets made up from donations from businesses in our town, and you still have an "opportunity" to buy opportunity tickets for the beautiful crazy quilt..

Remember all proceeds from the quilt show go back to charities in the community.
