Arrived 5pm on Sunday. Set up quilting space shared with Karen D and a new friend Leslie (from Laganitas). The total group was 32.
Started working on Awesome Ocean doing the characters in yellow.
Monday, continued and finished the yellow blocks of Awesome Ocean. Karen and I did a 3.5 hike in the morning and in the afternoon went for a swim with Kathy for 30 minutes.
Tuesday, completed the Quilt Club blocks for the month and the last one I needed to do to catch up. These are in the paisley fabric and accent colors.
Put the binding on the Color Wave quilt.
Also learned how to make a button bowl. I got most of it done but did not have ribbon and buttons to completed. Also Did a short 1 mile hike in the morning with Karen and went for a swim with Kathy in the afternoon. Started quilting on a quilt in the stash, the fabric was a stripe of Vegi Tales and the book was Wonderful 1 Fabric Quilts by Kay Nickols. I remember getting the book and fabric on sale in one of the visit to Phoenix many years ago. Karen, Leslie and I had several good laughs looking up on the internet who the Vegi Tale characters were, Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber (who starred as Elliot the Pirate in a movie).
Continued to machine quilt (straight lines with black thread outlining some of the black boxes) on Wednesday. Karen and I did a 4.5 mile hike. Went swimming with Kathy in the afternoon. Almost completed the machine quilting. Left about 5pm and picked up Joanne then went to MQSC meeting. Signed up for medallions for the 2017 - 2018 year. Also going to help on the opportunity quilt marketing. Got back to Bishops Ranch at 10 pm. Did a bit more machine quilting then Karen and I retired at 11 pm.
Thursday morning Karen showed Pam and I how to make fabric postcards. I made a post card for Ann L after completing the machine quilting the Vegi Tale quilt. I squared up the quilt and then cut the binding. About 11, began packing up and was helped where I could until 12:30 when we had lunch. Home by 2pm. Unpacked car.
