President’s Message
Happy Fall Y’All!
Are the leaves swirling around and around in your head and in your corner of the world?! I’m guessing that the majority of us are from somewhere else…and it’s likely that your seasonal internal clock is raking leaves as well as running and jumping into a big pile of leaves! Woohoo! Let your inner child p.l.a.y.!! It’s getting close to your last chance to p.l.a.y.!! HA! What am I saying!? Everyone knows that Quilters can and do play…every day! Isn’t it heavenly to go to your quilting room and sew the day away?!
Heads up! Are you paying attention?! TBQ’s November meeting will be held at the Residence Inn by Marriott (3599 Lee Circle, Prescott). Meet Monday, November 9th at 9:30 a.m. (Whew! Where has this year gone?!) Kathleen Bond will be sharing her ideas and tips and tricks about what to do with all those orphan blocks and quilt tops! She has an amazing collection of quilts she has rescued…and she will share them with us! Don’t miss it!
Face masks are required. Refreshments will not be provided. Don’t forget your quilts for Show & Tell! Pray that COVID 19 will be out of our lives soon!
Until we meet again, keep on quilting!

workshops
Kathleen will be sharing ideas and showing quilts she has “rescued”. She will share a few orphan blocks, if you don’t have any.
If there is time, stay after the meeting for a “brainstorming session” using your Orphan Blocks.
The President’s challenge to you is to sew all those orphan blocks together! Just for the fun of it! Just to see what you can make out of it?? It can be any size. It doesn’t even have to be a quilt–it can just be a quilt top… but plan to ‘show and share’ them at the May 2021 TBQ meeting
