August Meeting
We started August with jokes and laughs as our meeting started. The smiles and friendship was over flowing and the fun began.
President’s Message:
Dear
Quilting Friends,
It’s hard to believe that there are 60 minutes to an hour and 24 hours to a day. Time flies when you are doing chores and quilting! I have had a very busy summer and can’t wait until the weather cools off ten degrees, and time slows down. I have been laughing; it’s hard to believe that you have to think about Halloween and Christmas already. If you don’t buy the seasonal fabric before mid August you might not get any. Remember the quilting journal that I raved over last month? The quilt maker Ilene King has been featured in an article in the August/September issue of Quilters Newsletter Magazine. The article is titled, “Documenting Your Quilts, How Hard Is It?” by Lori Baker. This article talks about quilt labels, the written record and more. They
have shared photos of several pages from Ilene’s quilting journal. Great article! I have started to move all my pictures of quilts I have made into one folder on my computer. Next I will try and record the approximate date that I finished the quilts. I wanted to thank Sue Kinn for sharing her quilt journals with us, they were inspiring. I am excited for the county fairs to begin; the best part is elephant ears and quilts! Sigh! I hope that all of you will have more quilting time in August and that time will slow down for you. See you at Guild on Thursday.

Sewing Tips from July
Meeting: By Loretta Hunt

To make holes in the corner of your templates
use a 1/8" paper punch.
©
To keep safety pins from rusting, place a
moisture-absorbing packet (from vitamins) in a bag or jar of pins.
©
When traveling, or any time, use a small bar of
soap for a pincushion. It lubricates needles and prevents pins from
rusting.
