Pat and I just returned from Smugglers Notch Re-

sort in Vermont. We spent our vacation with three

of our grandsons….a week with the boys was won-

derful. However…Pat did mention we needed to

come home to rest…we were really kept busy.

Well…with summer coming to an end and the start

of school…plus all the sport programs, parents and

grandparents will become busy again. I always look

forward to the fall season and the cooler tempera-

tures.

September’s program “A Past President’s Quilting

Journey” by Pat Christ should be a journey that

most quilters can relate to. How a quilter’s tech-

niques, styles and color pallet may change over the

years. I know as a quilt collector how an individual

can change as you learn and acquire more experi-

ence…plus your interest may change.

I want to remind everyone of the Boyertown Area

Historical Society Quilt Show celebrating the 150th

Anniversary on September 16, 17 and 18 at the

Historical Society Building. The show will feature

new and antique quilts…plus quilts will be for sale.

The Oaks Quilt Show Extravaganza is also held the

same weekend.

The annual picnic must have been a lot of fun. I

heard that some of our members were happy to

finally use their Heart & Home Cook Book. Also

heard the challenge went well and the woo woo

factor was a big success….sorry to have missed all

the food and activities.

Labor Day weekend is quickly approaching. Take

time to celebrate life and all that it provides.

See you at the September meeting.

Happy Fall Season

Arlan R. Christ

Congratulations to all the participants We all

got to enjoy the creativity and talent of fellow

guild members. It was fun to see the variety

of designs inspired by the theme “My Favorite

Things”. Thank you to the 17 participants.
