Guild Meeting 04-11-23

The April meeting of Surfside Quilters Guild today - an easy hour drive to San Clemente in SUNSHINE with a little fog along the water.  And hillsides of flowers on backgrounds of bright spring greens.  There was good attendance with about 90 members and guests to enjoy the presentation by Lauretta Crites.   https://laurettacrites.com  Lots of Show and Tell and a number of donated Philanthropy quilts.   I am a little amazed at the hundreds of quilts made and donated by members to support non-profits in our area.  Not just quilts, but also pillowcases, placemats, and other items given freely and from the heart.  Today there were 17 donated quilts in the "quilt parade" that  were  walked a round  the perimeter of the room.  

Some are large and complex. 

Some were more organized.

And some were very basic, but will keep someone warm. 
A good resource if you need pattern  ideas for quilts,  especially scrap quilts, is on the website:   https://www.surfsidequiltersguild.org/philanthropy.html


Here is a photo going down the hill from the meeting place to get back on the I-5.  All the wild mustard turns the hills to gold.
