Greetings All!
I hope all of you are keeping cool this summer. Are you all making progress on the challenges you signed up for? I
have started my biggest project (cleaning my sewing room) and I still have a lot to do. I plan to work on it big time the
next two weekends and hopefully will make a lot of progress toward my goal. There weren’t a lot of people in
attendance to the meeting on Monday (July 11th). I hope you were all enjoying yourself elsewhere. We had a lot of fun
at the meeting with the excellent finger treats, the fat quarter frenzy – it was a competition between a couple people
to see which one would win the most fat quarters. I also had the pictures from the history books at the meeting to
distribute to the members. I will continue to bring them until they are all gone, or no one knows or wants any of the
rest of them. Well, stay cool and enjoy your quilting.
Ann Brenke
2016 QS President – Happy Quilting

Quilting Quotes
One who sleeps under a quilt is comforted by Love.
Proof Positive that quilters are athletes and quilting is a sport. Quilting involves:
Batting
Running Stitches
Pumping Iron
Rowing
Hunting (for Fabric)
Hooping
And Ditching
Quilters are not Greedy, they are just Materialistic.
One thing I know for sure: There are no rules in quilting. And if you think there are, then it’s time you try breaking a few.
Quilt, Eat, Sleep. In that order.
Anyone who works on a quilt, who devotes her time, energy, creativity, and passion to that art, learns to value the work of her hands. And as any quilter will tell you, a quilter’s quilting friends are some of the dearest, most generous and most supportive
people she knows… “Jennifer Chiaverini”
