President’s Message:
Fall is in the air, I hope
you are enjoying the cooler weather and the rain. Fall has always been my
favorite time of the year. How many of you went to the county fair or the state
fair? I always love three things at the state fair. First I love looking at the
4-H building exhibits because they were made by youth and I feel inspired by
their creativity. Second I love the Home Arts Building because I can see all
the beautiful quilts that have been entered. Third I can’t wait to get my
Elephant Ear (Fried bread as large as an Elephants ear) with honey butter.
While I was there I witnessed something so endearing. I was looking at all the
quilts in the Utah State Fair Challenge when a woman very close to me noticed
her own quilt in the challenge. She began jumping up and down and pointing at
her quilt. I quickly glanced at her quilt and noticed that she had received a
blue ribbon. She then clapped her hands over and over while jumping up and
down. It was obvious to me that she was very excited to receive a blue ribbon.
I have to admit she put a big smile on my face as I witnessed the joy she was
feeling. Her sense of pride was contagious and I left with a happy heart.
Congratulations to all of you who entered any items in the fair and received
ribbons. Life is good!
Happy Quilting Lorri Bashein
Quilt Fest is coming and fast are you ready for it!! Have your supplies ready and your classes picked? Good luck and best wishes to those who are attending we look forward to hearing about there adventures.
September sewing tips:
- Skirt the issue of how and where to hang mini quilts or sets of finished blocks waiting to be joined. Clip them to a skirt or pants hanger and hook the hanger over a shelf.
- When pressing a block with many points meeting at the center, trim and fan the joining seam allowance out. Put a few drops of water, at the center and press. This will help the center lay flat.
