Sign up for the Mystery Quilt information now, as after February first the pattern will only be available through Hunter's Quiltville store. (Click photo for link.)
Cheri Heinecke noted that we had a number of new members who were new to quilting and/or sewing. As a new quilter, Cheri benefited from Bonnie Hunter’s teaching. Cheri has decided to encourage our members to participate in Bonnie Hunter’s 2019 mystery quilt,  called "Frolic."

She explained how to sign up and get the information, which is online at Bonnie's website. Every Friday, new instruction is published to make the quilt. Cheri suggested swatch colors for the quilt but said other colors could be used, as long as tone is considered.

Cheri hopes to get a room at the Chino Library where members can come and work on the quilt on a weekly basis.

This month Cheri showed a great Fall table runner.  It uses all the colors of Fall so it does double duty; beautiful on the table and uses up lots of scraps. Get your Cornbread & Beans Quilting free pattern here.

She also showed how Bootleg Spray starch really helps when you are ironing your blocks. Did you pick up a copy of how you can "bootleg" your own?  No? Well here it is.
BOOTLEGGERS' SPRAY STARCH
Mix 1 part any kind of vodka with 8 parts water. The cheap stuff works just fine, unless you plan on drinking the leftover. Place in a spray bottle, label and shake to mix. Use distilled water if you normally use distilled water."

    2019 - 2020 Mentor's Table mentor Cheri Heinike.
    One member volunteers to staff a Mentors Table at our monthly meeting to demonstrate fun and new quilt-making techniques. Mentors learn  shortcuts, tips and tricks, and  more, then share this knowledge with other quilters when we meet.   Mentoring is a volunteer position that runs for one to two years (term is up to the volunteer).   If you're interested in serving as a mentor, let us know!
    Did you know: when you visit the Mentor's Table, you might win a little prize, get a free pattern or pick up a recipe.  Be sure to stop by -- even just to  visit.
