We are back and refreshed from our recent, very successful quilt show! Many thanks to all the Cascade members who helped out, as well as to members of neighbor guild, KISS, for its success. Take a look at the photos of some of our entries at the Quilt Show link. Our next show will be in 2013, so take a quick break and start quilting again!
For our October meeting, we will be taking a field trip to Polka Dot Pincushion. Because the shop closes at 8 PM, we will start our meeting at 6 PM at the shop. There will be mini product demos, shopping, and our meeting. We will be meeting on Thursday, October 27.
Also in October, we will be having a “Sewcial.” At our sewcials, we bring whatever projects we are working on and spend time with our quilting friends. It is a great opportunity to concentrate– and chat– about quilting. There will be large tables for sewing or cutting, and a few irons and ironing stations.
Since we have some members new to sewing, we plan to have a tutorial around 11 AM. New members need name tags, and we can demo how to measure and cut using current methods. We do have tentative plans for additional easy quick projects to teach techniques for half square triangles and more. We will be meeting at the Northwest Akron branch Library on Saturday, October 22 for the Sewcial. You can come any time that day, starting when the library opens at 10 AM to 4 PM. See you there.
