PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
Greetings. We had a great sew day in July. I did not get an accurate count but there were about 25-
27 people. We had a beautiful time with a great pot luck. A lot of sewing was accomplished, with
great fellowship, keeping cool in the brighter, larger air conditioned building next door. WOW!
And not only that, but we will be doing it again next month. YAH! I also want to thank Sue for
helping me with the corner inserts on my quilt. Maybe, just maybe, I will get this done before the
quilt show next year. It was also great to have Nancy back with us. It is so good to see how well
you are doing. We have cancelled the Board Meeting for the month of July and August. There is
nothing to work on right now for the quilt show. The workshop for August is cancelled. The
general meeting on August 15th will be another SEW DAY. So bring your projects, a pot luck
dish, and your beautiful smiles. It is a great time to get some sewing done (for the quilt show), to get
help or on any sewing problem you might have and to socialize. We are so fortunate to have so much
talent in our group who are willing to help out our new members who are just learning and (for those
of us who are harder at learning). So come one and all. Maybe we can even make a larger group next
month. OH, OH, OH! That makes for more food and more variety. (There goes the diet.) I hope to
see your bright shining faces on the 15th of Aug.Until then, try to stay cool and enjoy your
summer.

PROGRAM:
SEWING DAY
August 15th. We are enjoying our hiatus and the Sew Day was wonderful. September we will get
back to workshops and are looking forward to setting the table with place-mats from Linda
Pearson and a table runner from Nancy Clayton. At the August Sew Day, we will show you more and
in the Newsletter we will let you know the supplies. Enjoy the time to catch up on UFOs or
even better new ideas.

President’s Message:
Hello Moonlighters;
Another month of hot weather for sure. I know a lot of you stay indoors and do a lot of sewing
during this hot weather, and I hope some of you were able to get your entries in for the Butte
County Fair. My life has been way too busy, but maybe next year I will try as I have never entered
anything in a fair before. Maybe we can challenge each other to get at least one in to help promote our
Moonlighters Group of wonderful quilters. I would also like to thank Wanda and her helpers for
having such a successful quilting retreat. Everyone who went said they had a wonderful time and can't
wait until next year. Remember to mark your calendar for next July 10th, 11th, and 12th, I know
I am!!! As for our group projects, they are all BOM for MoonLighters August coming along wonderfully! The row quilt exchange is happening every month now, along with the round robin, and next month's meeting the Garden Quilt group is going to show us their progress too! We also talked about future projects
and classes that everyone will enjoy for next year. Don't forget that in October we are going to do the
mystery quilt with Dorothy Welton. I hope everyone has a great month and we will see you the
third Thursday of August! Happy quilting always,
Yvonne
