october 12 meeting

Four of us gathered at Pris' home with her gluten-free snacks—fresh fruits and Rice Krispie treats.

Show ’N Tell

For Pris, the summer was a time of learning about health challenges and taking time to get better. For someone who has never had anything wrong with her, it was a whole new experience. Now she is doing well and is very thankful. Pris showed us a quilt she is working on. It has fish, feathers, rocks and more—connected together with a fresh summertime plaid. The next thing she has to do is the binding.

Janet is doing better with more and more good days. She drove to Pris' home in the dark which was a big deal! She is in a support group called The Dizzy Group where she is getting information about her "new normal." Janet made a baby quilt for a little one next door. It has huge funny frogs with embroidered smiles. She quilted it on her long arm with fun loopy stitching. She also brought two bags of jeans from a yard sale that she gave to Miriam for her world-famous jeans quilts.

This month Miriam is using her morning creative time to crochet a blanket. It has 48 sqaures. So far she has finished 13 large squares and everyone is different. She has started on her YF quilt that will need 60 squares. She's using some cool fabric that she bought from Sarah Stine.

 Patricia brought one finished quilt named Tangled Garden and one in progress, Bon Odori. She is working on putting together a quilt retreat with Joe Cunningham, a quilter from San Francisco, for Fall 2013.
