The Log Cabin Block…Endless Possibilities
Here we are at the mid point of our year
and once again…where does the time go? There is a lot going on this summer.
Our speaker is George Siciliano and his lecture “This Guy Must Be Nuts”
should be a lot of fun. He specializes in variations of the ‘log cabin’ block
(in miniature) because of the endless design possibilities. For this humorous
trunk show presentation George brings all of his quilts that he has made that
are not away for a show. Each one has it’s own
(sometimes funny) story and it shows the evolution of his designs.
George’s workshops, “Size Really
Does Matter” and “Designing Logs” will follow on the 9th and 10th. Space may be
available, so please call.

All Committees: I need your
budgets by the July meeting, please. Thank you.
A Note from the President
Well, I’m taking a little break and enjoying
planting my flowers and being outside. I hope everyone had an enjoyable time
during the quilt show. I think this is our new venue for awhile. I’ve actually
gotten out a very old UFO and am starting to work on it for the next show in
2012. It will take me that long to get it done; it has a lot of handwork. Just
seeing all the wonderful quilts has inspired me.
I know that some of the vendors were
amazed by the amount of truly great quilts and top quality quilts we had
at the show. I was given a flyer by one of the vendors on information for Quilt
National 2011, Call for Entries. She was saying we have a lot of quilts
that would equal what she has seen entered there. If you are interested, I have
the flyer. Also, the email address is www.dairybarn.org/quiltnational.
I’m looking forward to George S. in
June. I think it will be challenging and fun. See you there.

Auction Night…Let the Bidding Begin
Our July program will be an
adventure as we try our hand at a Quarter Auction to raise funds for these
wonderful classes and guest speakers. A big thanks to
those who have donated goodies. If anyone has other goodies for the auction
please call me. My husband can also take your donations as I will be in
For the auction you will need your
quarters, so start setting them aside. Here’s how it works. When you get to
guild that night, see me to buy a paddle or two for bidding. Each paddle costs
$1. Everything will be auctioned for some amount under $1. Anyone wanting to
try for an item will raise their paddle(s), pay their quarters, and then wait
for their number to be called…winner takes it home.
We have a lot of goodies, so bring a
roll or two to play; remember all the money stays in the guild. I will be there
early so people can see what’s up for bid and for how much. Let’s support our
guild and have a great time. Bring all your quilting friends!!!
We will also be having a silent
auction for the Singer Treadle machine which was donated. I think we will start
taking bids that night and will leave it open till the next meeting. Any suggestions? I will need some help along the way so if
anyone is interested, please call me.

Helping Hands Made Show a Success
Yeah!! I'm proud of all the work everyone in our guild did and I
also need to thank my family. My husband–RK, son–Josh and daughter–Rachael were
in the room counting ballots. They also helped with anything I needed during
the show. I really appreciate them. Also, thanks to RK for all his help on
setup on Thursday, along with the other husbands, Jerry–Chris Landis’,
Scott–Heidi Young's, Mat–friend of Jerry Landis; and all the other husbands who
helped their wives get done what we needed to do for the show.
Now, guess what? It’s time to start
looking at patterns for another raffle quilt! So, go into your sewing rooms and
look away. Bring your patterns/suggestions to the guild meeting in June. If you
are interested in being on the committee for raffle quilt, let me know.
It sounds like a long time away, but
think about it. The
Let’s get some volunteers, decide on
the pattern and have fun making the new raffle quilt.

Huge Thank You!: Boutique Was a Hit!
I want to give a huge
thanks to all of you who helped make the boutique a great success. Without your
donations of items, talent and work at the booth it wouldn’t have happened.
