Visitors Welcome
Ready to Make Some Quilts?
Our evening guild program will take us back to our roots by having us get kits together or tying quilts for Community Quilts. The reasons we get together is to share and learn new ideas, socialize, and warm the hearts of others. So, please come and join the fun…maybe bring a friend along. Bring rulers, mats and cutters or yarn to tie. If anyone would like to volunteer to bring cookies, brownies, dessert or plates and napkins, please contact me at 848.5844 or lesabame at sbcglobal.net.
I’m still looking for our guilds’ award winners for the October meeting. I was hoping to share some of the techniques, rulers or patterns used for these quilts.
Don’t forget to sign up for Shari and Kim’s Cross Stitch Quilt class Nov. 13. The class is $15 + kit fee. It would be a great way to get some holiday gifts done early.
It’s also time to sign up for the 2011 Red, White & Blue for You Retreat. Yippee!!!

A Note from the President
Well, we are coming to that time of year… budgets, nominating committee for new officers/chairpersons and volunteering. With demos being the topic of our August meeting, we weren’t really able to have a real meeting. So, I have been asking people to be on the Nominating Committee. I have a few people on the committee and will be trying to finish filling this committee; hopefully, at the September meeting.
The Nominating Committee isn’t that hard of a job. You will be on the committee for one year. You will be calling guild members to try to fill the positions of President and Treasurer. Those are the only two positions to fill. If you are interested in being on the Nominating Committee or being President/Treasurer, please e-mail or phone me.
We will also have several more chairperson positions open and will announce them at the September meeting.
Please think about volunteering for a position. The guild really needs people to step up and help. Some positions definitely take more time/involvement than others. But try to find a job where you can make it work with your life-style. If you are interested in a position but it seems overwhelming, think about sharing it with someone. Anything is possible.
I have had a great time being President. I have tried to meet and talk to as many guild members as I can. We have a great guild with lots of wonderful people. Please think of volunteering and helping your guild move forward into 2011.

President, 426-4740

Calling All Secret Stitchers
Sign-ups for a new season of Secret Stitchers will began in August and will go through October with the first gift exchange in November.
This is a fun way to get to know another guild member. Each month you will bring a small gift such as a fat-quarter, sewing notion, a treat, or other inexpensive item for your assigned Stitcher, and you will receive a gift from your Secret Stitcher. In May the identities of the Stitchers are revealed.
Participants from last year seemed to enjoy the experience. New secret stitchers are most welcome. If you want to participate but know that you will miss many meetings, please have a friend deliver and pick up your gifts so you, and your Secret Stitcher won’t be disappointed.
Look for the Secret Stitcher basket with the sign-up cards on the shelf by the kitchen.
If you have any questions, please contact Barbara Carruth at or at 254-8136.
Quilt Show 2012
Raffle Quilts
I’m sure many of you went to the NQA show this past June. Did you notice the words “hand quilted” and “hand appliquéd”? I even noticed one that said “hand pieced”! Even at our show, the Best of Show was a tie with Lee Peterson’s “hand quilted” whole cloth and Chris Lilly’s “hand appliquéd” bed quilt.
This started several of us thinking, maybe we should try to have two raffle quilts. One would be a bed sized quilt with the other being a “hand” done project. Words such as wallhanging, hand appliqué, hand quilting, Celtic were tossed around and several people volunteered to do a 47" x 47" wallhanging with celtic squares. About 5-6 people went to several quilt stores and decided on fabric and it has been started. There are several ladies hand appliquéing as we speak. Yeah!! I also have several ladies who have volunteered to hand quilt!! If you are interested in this project, just let me know.
Now, we are in the final stages of selecting a bed sized quilt. If you would like to help select fabric, email me. I have a few people already signed up.
