A huge thank you to Vivian for a beautiful installation ceremony. She always finds the perfect theme and meaningful words to make it unique. Also, I would like to thank Jo Lippire for stepping in to present her trunk show and sewing story. Jo, your presentation was so interesting and your quilts are beautiful! It’s the perfect time for us to get to work on our quilting. The heat is forcing us inside so we should make the best of the situation. I’m sure most of us have UFOs and other projects that will keep us busy. Be sure to check up on your family, friends, neighbors, and your pets to see they are okay in this heat. Be sure to check out the upcoming classes! See you on July 26 at the General Meeting!
Happy quilting! Sharon Gillette
ROW BY ROW
ROW BY ROW is well underway! If you are a ROW participant, this is what you need to do this month: ● Make a new ROW to coordinate with the ROWs in the bag you received. The original ROW should have a number pinned to it that matches the bag number, this is the most important ROW to coordinate with. The next ROW that was made has a different number on it. You are making a new ROW to go with these two ROWs. ● Your new ROW should be 8”-12” tall (finished), and 48” wide (finished). This is more of a suggestion than a rule for your ROW height. If your ROW is taller than this, that’s fine. ● You may use some of the supplies in the bag you received, if any were provided. ● When your new ROW is complete, pin a paper to it with YOUR ORIGINAL NUMBER. This will tell who you are when this project is all done. No name, just your original number written on a paper pinned to the ROW you make. For example: If you are number 7, every ROW you make gets a paper pinned to it with a 7 on it. ● Do not attach the ROWs together. Just add your new ROW to the bag. Bring your bag back to the JULY meeting and get ready to be surprised when you get your original ROW back with four new ROWs to go with it! I predict we will be seeing some really fun quilts very soon! Questions? Contact Vicky Guiterrez
