Happy National Quilters Day










What a fun day! We saw many beautiful quilts, had mimosas and a great lunch, and are all set to take on a new project to bring next year on the third Saturday of March.

Claudia Redfern is our brave yearly hostess, and she lives in a beautiful home on the hillside in Laguna Beach.










Each year, quilters arrive from south, north, and east (not west... that would be the ocean!) to share what we have done since the last time we were all together. Elli Rapp arrived from Oregon this year, having missed last year's gathering due to snow...this year it was only raining! She won the prize for coming the greatest distance.
Pat and Dionne came from San Diego and the rest of us were OC/LA close.

Each year we have Show and Tell.












I got to announce that the quilt that Jamie Fingal, Anne Copeland and I made called Tres Latinas Artistas was sold in a gallery in Orange, CA. THAT is a lot to live up to!

Each year we choose one or two or three projects to do for next year....some will be doing garden ladies from Gwen and Freddies's newest book, Collaborative Quilts. Some of us will do an applique quilt of Christmas socks...not stockings, and some will do black and white four patches. Then next year we swap!

Let's get started!
