Tooele County Children's Justice Center will be more than surprised when they receive our next shipment of finished quilts! Today we tied approximately 20 quilts! Thank you so much, ladies, for sharing your talents and time!
If you took any of the quilts home to bind, please remember to bring them back at our November meeting.
Afterwards, we enjoyed lunch together. Thanks, Rodie and Colleen, for planning and organizing the luncheon. It was delicious!
Finally, here are a few reminders of upcoming events/activities:
- Tooele County 4-H is holding a Quilting Day activity for children this Thursday and Friday, October 18-19. If you'd like to volunteer to help at this activity, please contact Darlene Gilbert at Extension Services, 277-2400.
- Everyone is invited to a Quilt Retreat Day at Rodie's cabin on Friday, October 26. Meet at Betty's at 9 a.m. to travel together. Bring a project to work on and something to contribute to a potluck lunch.
- Our next monthly meeting will be held Tuesday, November 20 where we will be learning a quick and easy method to construct a double wedding ring quilt. Your DELECTABLE MOUNTAIN quilt top is due at this meeting. In addition, you must purchase a ticket to the Christmas Luncheon no later than this meeting. Also, if you completed the Christmas Challenge (read the info on the right sidebar), bring your project to this meeting, and it will be used as decoration and display at the luncheon on December 4.
- Next year's Block of the Month pattern will be Amy McClellan's Saltbox Sampler as shown and described below. You can purchase the pattern for a discount at the December luncheon, where Amy will be our guest speaker.
Picture and Description from
Amy McClellan's website Under the Garden Moon
"This quilt has over 41 different blocks. The detailed instructions are included for each block which makes this pattern a huge reference for future quilts. These pieced and appliqué blocks create a great combination that you will love making. The finished measurement is 48” square."
This is a nice share. I am glad that this meeting was super successful. Anyways, I also have to attend the annual community meeting at some local Los Angeles venues. I would also be presenting my new quilting project over there. So excited!
