Another couple of hours posted up on the sidewalk with my family in our little mountain town for another fun
No Kings demonstration. There were so many people out with signs encouraging people to VOTE! We had a lot of music and dancing again, people and dogs in costumes. My favorite was a brand-new baby strapped to the front of her papa who was holding a sign that said "No Kings, No Naps!"
We had mini-flags this time (from
Flags for Good) as well as signs.This is because I have now become a person who has a seasonal mini-flag planted in front of her house. It all started out with an
SF Giants flag. DH is holding a
No Kings flag, I had a
VOTE flag. DS is holding one of our signs. They worked together to figure out how to temporarily rig them up with wire and dowels just for the day.
Then it was over the hill for the BAMQ meeting at the San Mateo Library. There was a great turnout, lots to cover, and an excellent speaker coming to us on Zoom, J
ane Hauprich. Her
instagram is here with lots of great pictures of her quilting. She's an excellent free motion quilting teacher, and gave an engaging and informative talk. At the end, using pictures of un-quilted quilts from our members, She demonstrated her thinking process about how to establish a quilting design for a particular quilt. She uses a tablet to draw right on top of a picture of a quilt (seen there in neon green). I am definitely going to try that out the next time I'm dithering on quilt designs!
