TIPS FOR A BETTER QUILTING OUTCOME
Fall is in the air, happy October! There are so many special days in October that I cannot list them all. Here are some I jotted down: Columbus Day or Indigenous People Day, Hagfish Day, and National Pumpkin Cheesecake Day (these last two are on October 21st, I prefer the cheesecake over the hagfish). On October 26th the Hunter's Full Moon will brighten the night sky and that day is also called Worldwide Howl at the Moon Day, quite fitting I'd say. And then the last day of the month is Carve a Pumpkin Day, and Halloween. How ever you spend your days in October, have a great month. Personally, I am looking forward to some cooler days and wearing some fun and cozy sweatshirts. Also, I will be checking Costco for their yummy pumpkin pie.
On Saturday, September 26th, we had a room full of people sewing at Eat and Sew Day over at Clubhouse 2. We sewed in comfort and then had a delicious taco lunch out on the patio. It was an absolutely beautiful day and terrific fun sewing, eating, chatting, and laughing with all my quilty friends. A big thank you to Janice Simmons and Renee Jeske for making this happen. I hope we can do it again in the future.
My good friend Shari Riter brought me the topic for this month's tidbit from another Linda's article entitled "Fabric Shifting While Quilting?". As in last month's tidbit, I will paraphrase the article's points and provide my own comments.
