IF YOU MISSED OUR “QUILT SHOW” YOU MISSED MORE THAN WORDS CAN EXPRESS.
By 9:15 Sheila allowed a few people in and they waited at the food court until 10:00 am. We opened the doors to a line out to the box office which stayed that way for most of the hour. Everybody was immediately busy everywhere, in the whole show. The venders were vending and the Country Store was mobbed and manned by 5 to 6 people almost all the time. The food court was really overwhelmed at noon, but they served great food and will know exactly what to expect the next time. It was more than great. This big empty room was transformed( by the set-up team) into a warm friendly welcoming place filled with women (and a few husbands) that more than appreciated the quality and the amazing talent of our wonderful quilters.
Sheila and her team did an outstanding job. Judy Walker had organized the striking of the show so well that it was done in less than 2 hours, only 2 venders where left. You will read about the many different successes through this newsletter, so I will not try to hit them all.
Our last day meeting at East Vets hall had its share of challenges; it was hard to see our speaker’s slides from some parts of the room and the podium area was cramped, but all went pretty well. The night meeting had a major interruption when another group came in for their meeting in part of the room we were using. After some moving and adjusting, we all got through it. I apologize to you and our speaker, Tammie Bowser, for the entire disturbance. We as a board will be aware of this and make another plan for May. Tammy & her daughter Angela did a great presentation which was very engaging as she explained how things came about for her success. At the workshop on Friday we all had a great time. Many finished the initial phase of the project at class and some like me finished it later that night & the next day. Tammie has assured us that we can arrange for a return visit on a Saturday for those who cannot attend on weekdays, or even a road trip to her studio in Pasadena.
The next board meeting will be held on March 9th, (the second Tuesday of the month) at my home, at 6:00 pm our address is 2124 Wingland Drive. Directions: If you were leaving the VETS Hall parking lot you would make a right, go west to Airport Drive and make a right, go to the 2nd street which is Wingland Drive, make a right, we are on the right about halfway down the block.
