Quilt Show News and August pictures

FREE RAMONA QUILT SHOW

If you missed the San Diego Quilt Show, don’t despair the Ramona Back Country Quilters have a great little show for you. If, on the other hand, you did get to the San Diego Show downtown, then appreciate the difference! The Ramona show is free, parking is free, and the snacks and lunch items are reasonably priced. And you can spend the difference on---yes, fabric.

The fourteenth annual show will be on Friday and Saturday, October 18 and 19, in the sanctuary at Mountain View Community Church. The church is located at 1191 Meadowlark Way, (corner of Hwy. 78 and Ash Streets). The show hours are 10:00 to 4:00 both days.

There will be about one hundred quilts beautifully displayed in an Autumn setting. Also, door prize drawings about every hour; many vendors of fabric, gifts, and sewing supplies will be there. The Crazy 9 Patch Quilt Store in Ramona will have a booth at the show. Lunch and snack items will be on sale during the show. The members try to outdo themselves making tasty food. This year they will also have the popular Consignment Store.

Tickets will be sold for a drawing on an Opportunity quilt. This year’s is a large vintage-looking Crazy Quilt that was made by the members. The drawing for the quilt will be on October 19, at 3:00 PM. (You need not be present to win.) Proceeds from the drawing and show will go to Ramona Senior Center and Ramona children’s charities.

Don’t miss it! See you there.

Everyone was very engrossed in the demo

July Mtg. Notes and Pictures

Debbie could not make the July mtg. because of taking her mother-in-law to the hospital so I tried to hand out tickets, take pics and direct the meeting.  Chaos was enjoyed by all:).  Actually, I shared a little bit about my class at Camp-Watch-a-Patcher with Mary Lou Weidman and also a little about blogs.  There were one or two people who were interested in developing a blog.  If any of you would like to spend two or three hours with me, I would be happy to show you how to create a blog. Call me if you are interested and we can find a common time when we all can meet.  (789-2083)

Brenda Caster shared her "Twillow" technique and did a fabulous job.  We all got patterns and a very entertaining demonstration.

Very cute finished bag with a towel in it!

The Frito treat recipe is found here:  FRITOS   I want to thank Kay Pennington, my blogging friend, for sharing this recipe.

Minutes of the meeting submitter by Susan Porter: I can't find them anywhere-but, I sent them out to all of you-if one of you would send me a copy-I'll post them here.  This is just a check to see who the heck reads my rambling.
