Hi Bees!
Well what a turn out this meeting was! We had Peggy, her sister Tricia, Helen, Linda, Randy, Dawn, myself (Carol) and our two new bees, Rita and Margie. Is that cool or what?
I gather we were all excited about the new quilt we are doing to donate. We were to bring our pattern and cut them out. Yeah right! Helen didn’t have her pattern (couldn’t locate it). But best of all both Linda and I just plain left them home. I was so tickled to have found a great pattern; I even went to the trouble to drive out to Topaz to pick up this special ruler for this particular pattern. I was so mad at myself. Anyway, it all worked out well. Everyone there got to cut out what they needed. Of course Dawn, our template gal, had her little templates there and got her pattern all cut out. It looked really neat. Helen and I made ours on Monday. I believe Linda went ahead and did a different one.
I received a call from Dawn and she asked if she could do the extra one we needed. Would I say no? I did hint at the meeting that maybe she would be the one to quilt this when all the squares were in, but she totally ignored me. Hmmm. On the phone though she said she got the hint and thought that yes she would do it. She thought she would have the time. We don’t have to have it done until next April for May I believe. Thank you Dawn, you really do beautiful work and it shows you love what you do.
We were introducing ourselves to our new bees and show ’n’ tell kind of slipped in there along with it. Rita had also gone to Sisters, Oregon and she took a class. I believe the class was from Velda or Velma Newman. It had to do with painting on cloth and texturing cloth by sewing. What an addition to a quilt. Wow. It was fabulous the pieces she brought in to show. And as luck would have it she will do a class for us in January. She will get a supply list together for us in November so we can have everything we will need. I personally can’t wait. Me, Miss Traditional don’t do anything new. For some reason this one really fascinated me. I’m sure I’m not alone here.
Peggy and her sister Tricia they also went to Sisters and they brought
each of us back a button that says Sisters, Oregon and a fat quarter. Thank you for thinking of us, that was really sweet (honey sweet of course). They also brought back a gift for our drawing. That was really neat; it was a panel of the Sisters, Oregon Quilt Show. Dawn won that, so Dawn we expect to see what you did with it next meeting. Only kidding, you should have it done by September though, right?
Dawn’s show ‘n’ tell was a Rosie the “Quilter” panel she did as a wall hanging for her sewing room. The back of it was all roses. It really was a show stopper. Now I’ll have to do mine and I wonder if I could possible do as well. She really is a hard act to follow. Too much talent
Randy brought in a picture of her mom and dad with their new quilts. Yes they lived to receive them. They looked great, both mom and dad and the quilts. They appeared to be very happy with them. This quilt was a whole year in the making. I know she was very happy to do the last stitch and deliver them. She also brought in a quilt that she claims to be the ugliest ever. Well, we all know that isn’t possible. Randy doesn’t do ugly and this one was just beautiful. It’s to be a gift to a friend that likes lavender and this is just beautiful. That is to be one lucky friend.
Randy also bestowed a prize to Linda for the most recruits to the Bees. She gave her an Army mouse pad that said something about recruiting. It was really cute and the picture should be on this blog.
Margie also brought in a show ‘n’ tell. She made this quilt ALL by hand. No sewing machine stuff for her. It was beautiful. She was going to do the same for the quilt block she will be doing for the one we are donating. Wow. I love appliqué, but I’m not so sure about the WHOLE enchilada by hand. That’s a real WOW!!!
I mentioned that Dawn won the panel from Sisters, Oregon in our drawing and Helen and I both won a prize as well. I guess that means we’ll have three prize drawings next month, or only two and the one from Sisters was a special thing. Anyway, Helen and I for sure will bring the next prize.
Linda will bring in the spray starch (she forgot it along with her pattern) she mentioned last meeting. We will also get a copy of the recipe for it too. It apparently works as well as the Best Press and is definitely cheaper. You just need to keep it in the refer. I’ll bring my bottle back - I did remember a couple of things.
I brought in the placemats the Quilt Guild Third Saturday Class did. It
was quite cute and is of Santa. Helen thought you could probably do a Nutcracker out of the pattern too. I’ll bring the pattern next time for those that may wish to do them for a gift.
I also got money from those who weren’t at the last meeting for the balance to finance our quilt’s backing and such. As of this evening we have $29.00 to work with. Thank you ladies for your donations. I believe this quilt will be awesome and I hope and pray the Mom’s on the Run get a nice sum for it when it’s auctioned.
Well, we cut and cut and finally we adjourned at 7:20PM. We will see you all I hope in August, on the 18th. If your square is done, please bring it so Dawn can start when she has the time. Note that we are requesting they all be in to her by September’s meeting.
Hope you’re enjoying these summer months and that not too much California smoke is coming your way and as always keep bzzzzzzzzzzz.
