The summer heat is giving us one last blast today and it is very warm outside. Inside, however we are cool and sassy! Barbara is working on a new flannel quilt out of blue florals from Henry Glass. It is looking good, she should have the last border on today and then onto the long-arm. I hope to take it with me to the Conejo Valley Quilt Show on Oct 2 and 3.
Yesterday, Beach Cities Quilt Guild Philanthropy and the Bobbin Babes Friendship Group combined to work on making quilt kits to give to guild members at the general meeting in October. They had so much fabric out and quilts all over the walls, it looked like a beautiful fabric explosion in the classroom.
Anne Tracy and Lupe Maher working for a good cause!
We will be starting our new UFO Club next Satuday here at the store. Lots of customers have expressed interest in joining, so we should have a good turn-out. Everyone must bring 10 unfinished quilt projects to join, we will list them on a sheet for each person. Then I will pick a number and we will all try to complete the project for that number before the meeting next month. Of course, those who complete their projects will be rewarded!
My friendship group, Material Girls, decided that a project/kit that has not been started does not qualify for UFO status. Only those projects that we have opened and begun cutting or something makes a true UFO. This new guideline really helped me feel better about my stash :).
Here is a picture of the sunset about a week ago in San Clemente off of the pier. Beautiful and so inspiring.
