2010 INSTALLATION LUNCHEON
- Mercy Savage
Hi gang! In a few short months (3 to be exact) Ocean
Waves will commemorate its 25th anniversary as a quilt
guild. In 25 years, quilting has changed dramatically.
However, the vision of our founding members,
friendship, service, and the love of all things "Quilt" has
remained a constant. Please join me in celebrating all
that Ocean Waves represents and in honoring our
founders at the 25th Annual Installation Luncheon.
The cost of the luncheon, including a lecture by our
guest instructor, Shirley Bloomfield, "Baltimore with a
Twist", is $30.
Shirley will be offering 2 workshops:
"Dimensional Flowers" – January 9, 1:30- 4:30
p.m. - $35 (hand work and machine work)
"Summer Bounty" – January 10, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00
p.m. - $55 (hand work)
Space in the workshops is limited so please register
early. Remember, as per Ocean Waves policy, we must
receive you payment in order to confirm your space in
the workshop.
Twenty-fifth Anniversary Special: If you register for all
three events (luncheon & 2 workshops), you pay only
$110. That is a savings of $10 or 1 yard of fabric!
Mary Ann O'Hare and I are soliciting volunteers for the
Luncheon Committee to help us make this a celebration
worthy of all that Ocean Waves stands for. The
Luncheon Committee is also a perfect opportunity for
newer members to get to know everyone and to become
involved in the guild because the tasks are easy and the
time commitment is minimal.
Please email me at
savagequilter@gmail.com
"Dimensional Flowers" Workshop, 1:30 - 4:30 p.m.,
also at Signature Gardens.
January 10th, 2010:
"Summer Bounty" Workshop, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. at
the usual
Ocean Waves Meeting Location
13768 SW 8th St, Miami.

We have wonderful workshops at Ocean Waves,
and Lucy brings great teachers to supplement her
inhouse teaching staff at Quilt Scene. But if you can’t
work with those schedules, or if you’re looking for
more techniques, Quilt University is a resource with
which you should become familiar.
QU offers online classes for, traditional as well as art
quilts, and even classes on Electric Quilt 6. Lessons
are posted once a week and you can work at your
own pace and in the comfort of your own home, while
sharing your classroom with students from around the
world.
