Join us next Saturday as Natalie Barnes will bring her AURIfilosophy to the IEMQG. Learn all things Aurifil thread! Included with the program will be a pop up Aurifil shop. For those of you new to Aurifil you can purchase threads to try. To those of us devoted to Aurifil as our favorite thread (that would be me), well, I should probably make a shopping list. Just recently I was thinking of a color that I needed.
Our exhibit at the Chaffey Community Museum of Art came to an end on July 22nd. Thank you to everyone who submitted a quilt, or chair, and made the exhibit a success. If you did not pick up your quilt in person I have them and they’ll be available to retrieve at the guild meeting. The exhibit was very well received and I’m pretty sure we changed the image in a few people’s minds about quilting.
I did take the opportunity to solicit quilts that were shown at Chaffey for our big exhibit as the featured guild to hang in the atrium at Road to California. Those quilts have been photographed and measured for submission to Road and I’ll email the quilters individually about that. Please keep in mind that quilts for Road to California must be a minimum of 72 inches long and can be a width up to 100 inches. We will need to submit photos and measurements of each quilt to Road in October. This photo can be just the completed quilt top since delivery of the quilts to Road isn’t until January. My husband Mike will be available at our October guild meeting for anyone who needs a good shot of their quilt and has also offered to convert any photo format that you have available to a PDF as Road has requested. You can email those photos to me when the time comes. This exhibit is open to guild members only and we need 44 quilts. I’m sure we can deliver!
The August meeting is at the Riverside City Main Library, 3581 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside. Our guild meetings are scheduled at that location for August, September and October. Depending on how you travel to meetings, please be aware that the 60 Freeway will be closed between the 15 Fwy and the 91 Fwy from 10 pm Friday nights to 5 am Monday mornings. This is scheduled for every weekend, except Labor Day, from now until mid-November. I’ll need to plan accordingly!
Come socialize at 1:30 Saturday and enjoy the guild meeting at 2:00, see you there!
