We had two great workshops this summer. Shelley Hawkey taught us her method of face sculpting
and painting her adorable “bugs”, at her home July 23rd. For those who missed this, Shelley’s
The other workshop was with Gloria “Mimi” Winer, held at the SewPro shop in Oceanside,
on August 5-7th. We learned a great deal. We are still working on it. Some of us will finish the
doll, but all the techniques, sources, tools, tips, etc., were well worth the class by themselves.
Gloria is a fantastic teacher. Thanks to Barb Keeling for being assistant teacher, Joann Dossett
for housing and feeding Gloria, and the La Mesa members, Vivienne, Patty and Stephanie
for transporting her to and from class. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Patty Smith’s quilt guild is having a show in October. She’s been asked to set up a doll show there.
Patty writes: “Kaleidoscope quilt guild of Lemon Grove is having a quilt show. I was asked to show
some of my dolls and some of my friend’s dolls. Is any one interested in a small challenge?
How about a doll with a flower theme? Or just letting me show one of your dolls.”
The quilt show is Saturday October 15, 2011, Lemon Grove Masonic Center 2590 Main Street
We haven’t had a doll challenge for awhile. How about it?
For the past year we have been meeting in member’s homes, and sometimes at different times
and dates from our regular fourth Tuesday evening time. Some members have expressed the
view we need to get back to a regular, preset time and place. So who knows a place we can
meet and when? Some members work daytimes and some on Saturdays, too. Some members
don’t drive at night anymore. Some have tried and couldn’t find the home where the meeting was.
Many consider Saturday family day, or shopping and errand day and for others Sundays are filled.
WE NEED YOUR OPINION. We are not eligible to use the San Diego recreation buildings,
as it’s required that 85% of our members live within the city limits. Only 5 currently paid
members do so. Others live in El Cajon, La Mesa, Bonita, Spring Valley, Solana Beach,
Carlsbad, Oceanside, Escondido, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Lake Elsinore, and Lynwood.
We are scattered and no one wants to drive long distances. If we add all the people who are
receiving the Blueprints, but have not paid dues, we are scattered even more. We cannot use
the SewPro store in Clairemont anymore, either. Some venues are available to non-profits, but
that means organizations registered with the state tax board as such. We are not. We can pay a
small amount from the club treasury, but not $150 or more per meeting. We have met in
churches in the past, giving a donation to them. Nowadays, many want to rent their rooms,
as a staff member must be there to open, clean up and close. The same goes for libraries,
schools, community rooms, senior halls and trailer park common buildings. We are growing
(7 new or renewing members this summer!) So, your INPUT, PLEASE. Come to this
August meeting and let’s talk about it. Don’t be afraid that you will be asked to take a job.
Just come. If you can’t come, contact Lois (760-438-3431, lois@aardvarktozebra.com),
Sheila (760-757-4122, webehome@hotmail.com) or Babs (619-275-6027, bbehling@san.rr.com).
Thank you.
Also, if you are receiving the Blueprints and are no longer interested in IOLCC, please contact
Babs to be removed from the list. Thank you again
