Second Tuesday of the month, time for Surfside Quilters Guild meeting.
Our new meeting place is St. Matthews by the Sea United Methodist Church in San Clemente. Not far from the Presbyterian church we met at for our first ten years. This is the view of the Pacific Ocean from the parking lot. WOW!
Turning a little to the left we have a view through the cyclone fence of the I-5 wending its way south. Ocean is off to right.
So many of us are old and afraid of Covid there were not very many in attendance. Before Covid we would have at least 100 at most meetings. Today I don't think there were more than fifty. I was very hesitant to go, but since I am the photographer I really need to be there. Wore double masks and thought good thoughts.
Our Philanthropic Committee is very active and does a quilt parade of quilts that have been made and donate by members. These quilts are distributed to many different agencies. One big effort is for the new babies at the military hospital's big Baby Shower event where every new baby receives a quilt. I don't know where this one might go, but isn't it cute?
And here is a huge quilt made by Karen Wendel using 2-1/2" scrap squares.
Nice slippers! When I arrived at the parking lot I got out of the car and looked down to see that I had failed to change from slippers to shoes!! They have hard soles and just feel like shoes. Poor old lady slip(pered) up! I don't know that anyone even noticed, or maybe they just considered the source.

I love those slippers with the birds! They were probably glad to get out of the house for a little while. I've started wearing wild socks, just for fun. With my big feet, I need socks larger than standard women's socks. Smart Wool and a few other brands make them, but they're hard to find. I discovered that the the men's lightweight cotton socks at Walmart fit well, and they come in bright stripes, or with sharks, or aliens hovering over a field of cows. Dottie
Your meeting place view is beautiful. Isn't it fun to have the courage to dress as we please?! One of the perks of being our age. People have said (about my purple/blue streaked hair) "wish I had the nerve to do that."
