Our July 7 meeting at 2:00 and 7:00 pm at Robey Memorial Library in Waukon will
feature the Shop Hop Sisters also known as the Orange Ladies for their color
coordinated shirts. They have taken the Iowa Shop Hop to the next level with their fun approach to covering the state’s quilt shops and their organized game plan. Find out how they do it and share in the fun!

******************************************

On August 4 (my 47th wedding anniversary) we will again meet at 2:00 and 7:00 pm at Robey Memorial Library in Waukon with a virtual program. We will be given a virtual tour of the Iowa Quilt Museum Retrospective, an exhibit celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Iowa Quilt Museum. A quote from their website explains their celebration.

“In 2026, the Iowa Quilt Museum will celebrate a decade of sharing the artistry,
history, and heart of quilting with visitors from around the world. To mark this milestone, we are curating a special anniversary exhibition featuring quilts by artists who have exhibited with us over the past ten years.
This commemorative show will offer a beautiful look back—highlighting the creativity, innovation, and craftsmanship of the many quilters who have
helped shape the museum’s story. From traditional to contemporary, from beloved classics to bold new visions, this exhibit will honor the makers who have filled our gallery with inspiration throughout our first decade. We look forward to celebrating this remarkable milestone with you.”

There should be a quilt style to suit everyone’s taste. We will have our regular
business meeting after the program.
