TIPS AND TRICKS
Where do you find inspiration? In the many magazines devoted to quilting? Attending quilt shows and classes? Show-n-tell at the meeting? An upcoming special event? In a photo album or garden? Your friend’s completed projects? All of these categories are what inspire and motivate me to sew and complete projects. While it is harder for me to sew during the summer as I am gardening a lot, I still try to work out time to work on my projects. For me, having some hand projects/hand aspects ready to work on while relaxing on the patio keeps me on track to completing quilts.
What do you do during the summer?
JULY PICNIC
This year’s challenge is “Flower Garden”. It can be any item but MUST be blooming! We have also been asked to wear something flowery! The committee has asked that everyone bring 5 fat quarters for the games.
Remember that our picnic begins at 6:00 at Parkview Church of Christ on 585.
