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.

Brenda's Towell in a bag demmo "Twillo"

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.

San Diego Quilt Show Sept 5-8

Guy Woodward Museum Quilt Show

 The Guy Woodward Museum is holding a quilt show in partnership with the Back Country Quilters on Main Street in Ramona.

March 28,29,30,31 and April 4,5,6, and 7

There are 54 quilts and quilted items in the museum quilt show.  I have been in Ramona 34 years and had never been to the museum.  What a treat.  There are several small buildings to go through and the building that houses the quilt show also has some beautiful old quilts made by Geneva Woodward or someone else in the Woodward family.

And then there are some modern examples of the old patterns:

 

And there were more quilts:

 

and the opportunity quilt:

And there were quilted items as well as quilts:

And if that weren't enough, there was also Chicken Soup (pattern by Mary Lou Weidman who visited our blog and made a comment)

Couldn't have a show without the members to set-up/take-down, sell tickets and answer questions, and even demonstrate in costume.

Thanks to all who helped and donated quilts to show.  If you haven't made it by-check it out.  For a 5.00 entrance fee you will be thoroughly entertained!  It is great advertisement for our October show.
