DINNER WITH THE SPEAKER:  As the new program chair I want to change up our Dinner with the Speaker social. We will meet before the meeting at 4:45 pm at Joe Caribes 13470 Lincoln Way, next door to the new Awful Annie’s location. They serve Caribbean style food, chicken or fish tacos, burritos, yellow curry noodles etc. They also have a happy hour 3-6pm that includes delicious chicken tacos for $6. I just want to encourage all members including new members to come to this social time to get to know one another and to greet our speaker prior to the meeting. If you’d like to join us, please call Jane Haworth 530 305 0443 by 12pm on that Monday so I can make a reservation. All members are welcome!

A Joyful Day - Basket Bouquet

Our 60”x67” quilt was adapted from a pattern by the late Janet Ludwig of Chickadee Charms.  The quilt’s organizer, Laura Rucker, met Janet during a time she spent in Buffalo WY, and was impressed by her friendliness and enthusiasm. The quilt was made by Laura Rucker, Katie Gwinn, Sam Hills, Rita Kennedy. and Teri Sartain, and was quilted by Lin Squires, who included many whimsical quilting motifs.  A close look reveals 3-D prairie points, scallops and bow. There are embellishments and quilting surprises throughout the quilt.  We have dedicated this 2020 Opportunity Quilt to Janet Ludwig's spirit, and the enthusiasm she shared with all she met.  "We hope this quilt brings a smile to your face, and it reminds you to enjoy each and every day.”

We will sell tickets throughout the year and draw the lucky winner at our quilt show on Saturday, April 4, 2020.
