Just in case you need it, the address for the next Sew Day is 152 East 6th St., Corona(at my office).  It is the old Corona Police building between Bank of America and the Corona Library.  There are 2 refrigerators and 2 microwaves available + hot and cold water dispensers.  I will bring coffee supplies.  We also have drink and snack machines.  Directions are: 91 freeway west, Main Street exit, turn left on Main Street, left on 6^th Street.  My building “Riverside Community College District, Office of Economic Development” is on the right.  Parking is behind the building and overflow parking is in the 99 Cent store lot.  Enter at the rear of the building.  I will post RQG signs.

Thanks,

Here are just a few of the wonderful quilts she showed during her trunk show:

Our Row by Row for the VA Hospital

Here are the row by rows made by our members from leftover blocks contributed to Soldier's Angels in 2011.  If your photo is missing, please note, I tried to get each one, however some may have turned out too blurry to post. If you'd like to submit one, just send it to our email address and I'll add it.  All did a wonderful job!
