Sylvia’s Scribblings continued
if you want to participate in a non-judged show
remember our Quiltopia event in the fall and make
a hanging for our Chartreuse Chameleon Challenge
Show (September) or just hang a quilt to show or sell
at our show at the Mill (early October).
The time is finally near for our POND PARTY;
where we get together to show off the finished quilts
from last year’s Frog Prince, block-of-the-month. It’s
listed on the front page, and held at a West Salem
Church, so we will have room to show and share and
vote for our favorite. More fun and prizes, of course.
Hope the date works for you.
Just in case you wanted to know who won of the
108th Anniversary $108 gift certificate… it wasn’t
you, it was Roberta Lippert!
We’re so excited; we’ve designed a fold up over the
shoulder tote bag that should be here by the time you
read this. It sports a little quilt block on its pouch
and then a bigger one when it’s opened for use. Great
for quilter gifts and yourself too. Going green should
be fun!
We’d really love to see you in the Forest, but
remember we have free shipping on most items if
you can’t make it in. Keep on quilting….
Sylvia

a bus at the same time? Join our quilter’s ride
to the Sisters’ Quilt Show— gab, gobble and
even sew over mountains... Sigh! Life is rough!
Overnight in Bend with stops at a couple of quilt
shops. This bus leaves at 9 am Friday, July 11 and returns to our shop
at 5 pm July 12.

Dont’ Forget... The parking is hassle FREE at the Chemeketa
Parkade — the entrance is just north of our shop on Commercial
Street. You can drive through the alley and stop briefly to unload
your machine from the back before parking, unless you have one of
our rolling totes, then you’ll want to roll it great distances! There is an
elevator on Commercial St. so park near it on the 2nd or 3rd level!

BOOK REVIEWS
LOTS OF SCRAPS, Its Time to Quilt edited by
Stauffer and Hatch at House of White Birches

quilts, runners and wall hangings. This book
is chuck full of classic, whimsical and creative
patterns from a growth chart and tea cozy to full
size bed quilts. Get your scraps together and come see us to fill in, this
book is well worth the price.
