| Four Seasons Hemet Herald | FEBRUARY 2022 | 23 Happy Valentine's Day from Seasons Quilters to all our friends and neighbors. The "heart" is a favorite shape and pattern among quilters and can be traced back to the 18th century. Naming specific blocks, and cataloging names was sporadic for many years, becoming more commonplace early in the 20th century. Upon researching some of these 'romantic themes' Cupid's own, Cupid's arrow, hearts and flowers, hearts delight, and the always popular bridal gift quilt, double wedding ring, are just a few patterns synonymous with love. Then there was the rare find of hearts and gizzards… doesn't sound very romantic. However, for the individual whom inspired it, perhaps it carried its own unique message of love at the end of Cupid's well- aimed arrow! Following our own arrow, our BoHo Heart pattern will soon be taking shape as many of us continue to learn the complexities of piecing together different sized blocks, the importance of contrast and value, and the significance of proper ruler measurements. (Lest the darling seam ripper become our forever Valentine!) We will soon be choosing background fabric, which for this particular pattern will be crucial in order for the "heart shape" to pop. Our club continues to add new members every month, and we are particularly excited to welcome some of our newest neighbors who have chosen to call Four Seasons home. Sewing together twice a month has become time we all look forward to, and for those not working on the BoHo Heart pattern, other's projects in the making are fun to see. We are a diverse group, both in experience and creativity, with the shared passion for quilting. Meeting in the Aerobics Room gives us adequate space, wonderful lighting, room for, (to date) 12 sewing stations, and an ironing board. Loading and unloading our machines is a breeze with the aid of two dollies at our disposal, and entrance via the east gate from The Lodge. Come check us out! Seasons Quilters meets every first and third Thursday in the Aerobics Room from 12 noon to 4 pm. All Four Seasons residents are welcome to meetings and excursions. For more information, please contact Diane Best at (951) 816- 0449, dianequilts@verizon.net, or Sharon Deuber at (760) 500-0077, YouDeserveIt@twc.com.
