February 2019 Meeting Review

[Ed. note: Remember my grandfather saying that Christmas lasts all year so he technically had a whole year to give out his presents...yeah, that's still happening!]

We had a rollicking good time at our February meeting. A big shout out to our fellow quilters at the Inland Empire Quilters Guild! They are going bonkers making beautiful Happy Bags and other community charity projects and have decided to bring all those lovelies to put through our charity channels. In February, they made SEVENTY-FOUR Happy Bags - outstanding job, ladies and gents!

AAAAALLLL the Happy Bags!

In addition, the Inland Empire Quilters Guild have a quilt show coming up May 3rd (10am - 5pm) & 4th (9am - 4pm) at Nellie Weaver Hall, 3737 Crestview Dr (Corner of 6th & Crestview) in Norco.

Check out all the quilts shown during Show and Share.

Evie announced the tentative date for the next Hoffman Tour for July 15th. Pencil it into your calendars and stay tuned for more information.

The spring quilt retreat to Vinya de Lestonnac, Sippin' and Stitchin', still has a few spots open, so contact Barbara M. today.

Your completed 2018 Block of the month quilts are due at the March meeting and 50% Challenges are due at the April meeting. Cassandra G., who is taking over from Elly H. for both BOM and Challenges, gave us a sneak peek at our first 2019 Block [ed. note: you'll love the theme, I promise!].
