Evening Star Quilters has a Dear Jane focus group that meets
before each regular meeting from 7-7:30 pm.
Susan Acevedo
leads the group in discussing techniques as well suggesting Dear Jane blocks to be completed by next meeting. Her
philosophy towards her suggestions is "a little prodding wouldn't hurt" since their our so many blocks in this quilt.
Some members are well on their way to completing their own "Dear
Jane" quilt. Some have completed their version of a Dear Jane quilt!
August's Meeting:
We have a guest speaker, Barbara Arnold. Her lecture will be on "what a judge
looks for" at a juried show.
This
will also be our show informational meeting.
Learn
how to determine the circumference of your quilt so your entry will be in the right category, find out who is in charge
of what committees, receive the chairperson's phone number(s) and pick up an entry application(s). Find out how to fill
out an entry form. Sign up for the time you want to work the show. There are plenty of choice time slots
available. Raffle
ticket books will also be distributed. This year's President's Challenge will be discussed.
Community Service:
This
is a new membership year. See Kathy Dehler to hand in this year's charity quilt.
