June 4 - Focused-Interest Mini Groups
If you are interested in joining a mini group, read on for information on two ways to do just that. While most mini groups are not focused on any one aspect of quilting, it is certainly possible to have a group with a specific interest, such as working with silk, hand dying fabric, wearables, hand quilting, etc. I am happy to help anyone interested in such a group to find other like-minded souls. If you are interested in a silk-oriented group, there will be a sign-up sheet at the September Play-Date, or you can e-mail me your information (see below for how to reach me).
If you are interested in a hand dyeing group, or a hand quilting group, or if you have in mind another focus for a group, let me know. I will collect the names and when I have enough for a group (say, 6 names) I will send all of you everyone's information and you can contact one another and make your own arrangements to get together. As more names come in I will send them to the appropriate group. THE INFORMATION I WILL NEED IS: the focus of the group you are interested in, your name, phone number and e-mail address.
The second way to join a mini-group is to come to the meeting I am holding at the Saturday Drop-in on September 18 beginning at 11am. This is a ways off, so mark it on your calendar now. There will be reminders in the Knot, at meetings, and on the web. You are welcome at this meeting whether you want a focused or a general interest group. I cannot guarantee a group or groups will form, it depends on how many people show up. The more the merrier, so I hope to see you there.

Quilting Frames for Sale
EBHQ has been given 2 Slatkey quilting frames from the estate of Marilyn Davis
former owner of Patience Corners.
One is a rock maple frame with 2 sets of quilt bars 36" and 65" - original value $345.
The second frame has only one set of quilt bars 36: and is not as elaborate of a design.
I believe the original value was probably $100-$150.
All proceeds from the sale of the frames will be to EBHQ.
For more information or to make an offer please call Suzi Stone at
510-758-1447 or e-mail HZS1@netzero.net
