Other Events and Items of Interest:

Review of Cecelia Campochiaro’s latest book. Do not miss this enchanting review by Franklin Habit. Cecelia visited our Guild last year and will present to the Guild virtually on September 1st – the date of her originally scheduled visit. Details will be forthcoming.

Podcasts to Knit To  – Read Nancy Nevin’s new article regarding podcasts. Her original post What is Your Favorite Knitting Podcast? is still available.

Speaking of Podcasts – Eileen Adler just shared this with me – Fiber Hooligan. It’s been on hiatus for five years, and now Benjamin Levisay (head of XRX) is back with a number of interesting fiber-related interviews. The older ones may be available.

Quilting Enthusiasts – To learn about various quilting events, visit our Ravelry group and check out the thread called “Quilting Enthusiasts”. Unfortunately, many planned events have been canceled or postponed.

Visions Art Museum – Visions is a great quilt and textile museum in Liberty Station. While its focus is largely on art quilts, there have been other fiber art exhibits, including lace, knitting, and crochet. Find them on the web at VisionsArtMuseum.org.

The San Diego County Fair – the 2020 San Diego County Fair has been postponed until 2021. Details on the  Fair’s website.
