Quilt Daze Fun
We had a lot of fun at QuiltDaze in Yorba Linda last month. The quilts shared were spectacular. And there were so many, we had to fold some on tables.
Thank you to all who helped out… By allowing your quilts to be displayed or by helping to hang or take down or by quilt sitting or by just showing up to enjoy the show!
Also Many Thanks to the Yorba Linda Historical Society and Woman’s Club for allowing us to display our work. They do such a wonderful job putting this show on! And I am honored to be a part of QuiltDaze.
Here are two collages of the pics I took at the show. Wish I had taken more!
It really was a fabulous display of our work over the last dozen years!
And it was so much fun to see old friends and make some new friends!
Speaking of which, our free quilting classes (thank you NOCCCD) start again on Monday, September 10 in north Orange County, California. Join us if you live in the area. My last post had more info and the necessary supply lists.
If you can’t join us in class, keep your eye here on LynBrown.Com where are the project info will be posted.As ever…
