June 2018 Meeting Review

We had a great time last Tuesday at our monthly quilt guild meeting and we need to extend a hearty thanks to Tami A. for stepping for our absent president (rumor has it Tilly coerced her into a quilt shop run in Missouri, but I can't confirm that). And a shout out to our three guests - thank you for joining us and we hope to see you again soon!

Sharon C. with Threads of Love was also not able to attend, but Cassandra reminded us that we need to bring in any kits we have, finished or not, as we are now supporting two hospitals. Contact Sharon if you have any questions.

Susan C. shared a lovely card we received from a Quilts of Valor recipient, which was an excellent reminder of why we pour our hearts, skills, and time into our charity projects. Susan also shared with us that a local Girl Scout will be helping take over the Dog Beds after her daughter Samantha N.'s imminent move out of the area. This is a great reminder to please cut your own chopped salad and to be please be careful of what items you throw in - only quilting cottons. Thank you!

Dawn M. had her knee surgery recently and is home resting, so Cassandra accepted for her by proxy the abundant wonderful Happy Bags made, many by the fabulous ladies of the Chino sewing group, who also made a whole mess of Happy Bag kits. Wow! Fantastic! Thank you as well to the folks who stepped to take those kits to make more. Also a special thanks to the person who donated the mini flashlight - as a reminder, we can get those little flashlights with a coupon when shopping at Harbor Freight, so be sure to pick one up on your next trip.

The Chino sewing group also made a collection of beautiful survivor bags - you ladies have been busy! Well done!!

Our next quilting retreat is back to the beautiful Campbell House in Twentynine Palms November 1st-4th. The cost is $398. As of last Tuesday, we still have 5 spots open, so contact Barbara today and get your deposit in!

Our annual Hoffman Tour is coming up on Monday July 30th - thank you Evie for organizing! Please be sure to let Evie know you're interested in going and if you are interested in carpooling; we will meet up in the Sears parking lot at 7:45am.

Be sure to check out the pictures from our sewing bee if you didn't get a chance to see what everyone was working on...or better yet, check out the picture video (there's one for every meeting!):
