Happy Thanksgiving!
Well what do you think? I wanted some Marigold flowers but the closest I could find in the choices were these leaves in Marigold colours! I think they'll be fine.
The main reason for this blog is to let members and others know what we are doing and alert them to workshops that might be of interest. We welcome newcomers so if you are in the Kamloops area feel free to come by on our next meeting day November 14th.
Our September meeting was a huge success with Dawn Fox Cooper visiting us and sharing her wonderful quilts with us. Dawn is from Proctor, B.C. and a wonderful applique artist. She recently was honoured with 2 ribbons at the La Conner International Quilt Fest! Well deserved. There were many beautiful quilts shown and our own group quilt 'For the Love of Applique' held it's own but did not ribbon!
There is no meeting today because of Thanksgiving but those who signed up for Val Wojtula's Sashiko and Dogwoods class get your supplies together and be ready for fun next weekend! Sat and Sun the 15th and 16th at Cottonwoods. Classes start at 9:00 am.
See you there~
