August BOM and Virtual Guild Meeting Reminder

We hope everyone is staying cool during this crazy heatwave. If you experience a blackout, PLEASE get somewhere cool - you've friends all over the Riverside area and someone will still have power! And please remember to check on your neighbors too and make sure everyone is staying cool. County of Riverside Cool Center

Our next virtual guild meeting is coming up tomorrow

If you have not already done so, please go ahead and download Zoom to your computer, phone, or tablet. Zoom uses the camera and microphone from your device to share your video and audio:

Zoom for iPhone/iPad

Zoom for Android

Zoom for Windows

Zoom for Mac

If you already have Zoom installed, please remember to check for updates about once a week as they are continuing to improve the application and tighten its security.

If you need a refresher, I highly recommend you checkout the Raincross Quilt Guild Zoom Cheat Sheet I created for us.

We will be using a new THE SAME Zoom meeting link AS LAST TIME which will be made available on the Raincross Facebook page. If you do not use Facebook, post in the comments below or email the guild and I will email you the link and password.

To make sharing easier for everyone, we'd like to try the following: please email or text Cassandra photos of your quilts and she will organize them into a slideshow so that you don't have to hold up your quilt/piece, you just have to talk about it.

Please include:

- your name

- name of the quilt/piece (if it has one)

- dimensions

- brief description

When you take your picture, please try to include the entire quilt/piece while it is flat on the floor, on your bed, or on a design wall. It's okay if it's not straight or the perspective is wonky - I can fix that.

We will be doing the same thing for our Raincross Quilt Guild challenge quilts, which are due next month.
