We had such a great meeting two weeks ago with the fabulous and informative Heidi Stagno of Heidi's Longarm Quilting Center in Calimesa. But first, we were serenaded by Jeri R. and Susan C. singing 'My Favorite Quilting Things', modified by Terri Dobitz and sung to the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein 'My Favorite Things' from the musical The Sound of Music, which was enjoyed by all, including our 7 visitors!
Heidi gave quite a presentation on machine quilting, reminding us that it's not a quilt until it's quilted, we don't have to use cotton thread to quilt our quilts, and when you're stuck in a corner, just ditch it and stitch it! Her workshop the following Saturday was fantastic and I highly recommend that you check out her Quilted Feathers class coming up on December 9th.
Elly H. was not able to join us, but Jeri R. and Susan M. showed off our next BOM, Spinning Pinwheel. Instructions are here.Also, due to some unfortunate flooding and cancellations, we're postponing the Home Room Tour that was scheduled for October 21st until sometime in the spring.
Susan C. announced that we'll have our annual Quilt of Valor presentation on Saturday November 11th at the East Hills Community Church. If anyone still has an QoV quilt at home, finished or not, please finish if you and regardless, bring it to the October meeting.
Barbara M. announced that we have a few spots still available for the Raincross Fall Retreat to Campbell House, so please contact her if you are interested.
