It is almost August and quilt show entries need to be completed and submitted to Jan as soon as possible how to fit that in between trips to the beach, family visits, and ongoing quilt projects. July has been an amazing month the Moonlighters Linda Ballard retreat was a great success (a big thanks to Wanda Daly who is retiring from sponsoring the retreat). Many of us tried our hand at felting and were surprised with how much fun it was. Ashley Coffey patiently taught us the tricks of using the pineapple trim tool using the minimum amount of fabric. I have attached a picture as proof of what a good teacher she is. Plans for the Quilt Show are falling into place. The time is coming for all of us to step up and volunteer to do our part to make October 1 st and 2 nd a great success Marla Vaughn Newsletter Editor: Dorothy Moyle-Smith 3312 State Hwy 70 ohohnursie@gmail.com Oroville, Ca (530) Web site: orovillepiecemakers.org Summer Picnic.

Jan Owens Dottie Elliott ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS QUILT SHOW ENTRIES: I know all of you have completed many quilts since our last Quilt Show two years ago. Borrow them back, take them off the bed. Baste a quick sleeve on them and let everyone see what great quilters we all are. I would like to display at least one quilt (or more) from each of our 80+ members. There is more space and better lighting this year so the quilts should shine! We really want to show our friends and neighbors what quilting is all about. So. Your entries for the Quilt Show must be turned in by the next General Meeting on August 18 th. That does not mean that the quilts must be finished by then just close enough that you know they will be done by September 30 th. If you participated in the Mystery quilt last year I would like to do a display of those quilts separately so note that information on your form. You also need to fill out a form for your Leaf it 2 Me Challenge project. If you have , please just put the information about your quilts all into one . List the name of your quilt, width and length, year finished, who quilted it and how it was quilted. You can add a short description of interesting information about the quilt.

4 FAT QUARTERS; A little deviation for the month of Aug. You may use a long 1/4 yd (42 x 9) or fat quarter (18 x 22). the theme is kids and their activities. There are some cute prints out there showing kids at play, beach, backyard, school, etc. A regular 1/4 yard of one of these would work so well in a sew as you go strip quilt.
