Visitors Welcome

Speaker Fee: $5.00

A Lesson on Color Selection=

&= nbsp; Hello All - First off, a special request...when setting up chairs, if you are abl= e, will you please set up one more chair next to you and ask someone you don’t recognize to sit by you? If you think you notice someone new or someone has come in a bit late, a friendly wave as to where there is a seat available would be a welcoming sign to a visiting quilter. Thanks to those = who already do so.

&= nbsp; Just a brief note about the budget. Be sure to review it as we vote on it in this next meeting. Please send me an e-mail or call my home phone and leave a message with any questions; my home number is in the roster. (I prefer that= my number is looked up, please..the less it’s posted on the internet the better).

&= nbsp; The next thing is that I am taking payments for the November 11 Photofabrique c= lass taught by Julianne Kravetz= . I will take the $30.00 class fee in September and October and then get you the envelope and you will send your photo and $30.00 kit fee on to Julianne yourself. I will e-mail those deadlines to those who are taking the class a= fter September’s meeting. Classes will be held at Appalachian Quilt Shop in Enon. These would make awesome Christmas gifts! http://www.photofabrique.biz

&= nbsp; I will have some important announcements at September’s meeting and we = do have a great speaker on Colors a= nd Values. Jennifer McCann from the Columbus area is a wonderful speaker and several of us in the guild have gone up to Quilt Trends to learn this lesson of colors and values when choosing fabrics. Personally, I could use a refresher on color/value and it’s great timing with the Photofabrique class. See you all in the meeting.

A Note from the President

&= nbsp; As I look back to our July meeting when we were discussing Extreme Makeover and whether we could do it or not, I will never forget this phrase: “If t= hey can build a house in a week, we can make these quilts in a week.” Wel= l, we did it! Congratulations!

&= nbsp; I knew it would be a lot of hard work, organization and team work. I knew with the attitude from the July meeting, we would do it. But, I thought it would take us a little longer! = When we were getting a plan together on Thursday, we didn’t think all the quilt tops would be finished by Sunday at 7:30 p.m.! (We had Monday and Tue= sday as work days.) We never figured to be done before then. <= /p>

&= nbsp; Everyone who came to cut, sew, iron, unsew (did I say that?), donate fabric from the= ir stash, and run errands was all part of a big team effort. The quilt shops w= ho were all behind us in this endeavor were wonderful.

&= nbsp; Then, the ladies who did the quilting. You did wonderful work. You all went above= and beyond to really give these quilts first class quilting. I appreciate all y= our work and the time you put in.

&= nbsp; I’d like to thank Maria Elkins= for her wall hanging. When we went to the presentation, people were amazed to s= ee your work. They were truly impressed with your talent. When we showed the Terpennings the quilts, the crowd started asking “Show us the quilt!” They wanted to see your wall hanging.

&= nbsp; Finally, I want to thank those who showed up to work but we had already finished. Al= so, those who wanted to work, but couldn’t; those who offered to take work home, the quilt shops and members that offered fabric we didn’t need.=

&= nbsp; It was amazing to see how we came together as a Guild and really pulled this o= ff. We can achieve anything in our Guild! Thank all of you for letting me be a = part of all this.

May 7 & 8, 2010—Quilt show

Greene County Fairgrounds, Xenia

&= nbsp; I will have small flyers for everyone in September. If you are going to a qui= lt show or any kind of festival, please take some flyers along. We have 2 size= s, bookmark and ¼ page. Leave some on their information table.

&= nbsp; I will also have some larger flyers soon. I’m going to need people who = go to their Senior Centers in their neighborhoods, nursing homes (i.e., Bethan= y, St. Leonard’s, Trinity), libraries, Curves, any place that has a community board. If you live in Troy, I don’t want you to try to put a flyer in Centerville. I figured if everyone could place just one flyer in t= heir neighborhood we can get 200 flyers all over the Miami Valley.

&= nbsp; We have time to work this and figure this out. If you have any questions or suggestions, just ask in September. Please help me make this the best quilt show ever.

Quilt Show Reminders

&= nbsp; Another month closer to the May 2010 quilt show. It was great to see all the quilts= at show and tell at the August meeting. Lots of entries for the quilt show.

&= nbsp; Now we just need to continue getting more things ready for the show. Keep those machines and hands busy.

&= nbsp; The time for selling raffle tickets is also coming closer, and I hope you have = many ideas of where and to whom we can sell them. More tickets sold means more f= unds for programs in the future.

&= nbsp; The boutique will be waiting for the shelves to be filled by your talented hand= s.

      &= nbsp;     A special savings discount is being offered to all Guild Members. Shop Eleanor Burns’ website at www.quiltinaday.com or www.eleanorburns.com and rec= eive 20% off regular priced items. This offer includes books, rulers, notions, k= its and lots of fabric. Sale ends October 31, 2009.

Pointers & Tips for Quilting =

        &= nbsp;   Burn Test: To identify fabric content, burn a corner of a piece of scrap fabric and extinguish it in a bo= wl of water. Cotton will feather with a light ash as it’s burned; poly b= lend will feel like plastic when it is burned.

        &= nbsp;   Paint Chip Tip: Create your own= color library with complementary paint chips available at home decorating stores. Paint chips are easy to take along when shopping for fabric.

        &= nbsp;   Washing Small Pieces: Place fat quarters of fabric in a mesh lingerie bag to launder. Wash your fabric with other clothing items without losing the fabric and with minimal fraying.

        &= nbsp;   Flannel Carriers: Cut out large p= ieces from a flannel-backed tablecloth and roll it up to store quilt blocks and unroll it when you’re ready to work on it.

Bobbins and Thread: Keep spools of thread = and matching bobbins together by storing together on a large golf tee. Secure t= he bobbin and thread together with a rubber band

        &= nbsp;   Stop Fabric Diving: Buy a sing= le stitch plate for your sewing machine instead of using a slotted zigzag plat= e. It will be easier to begin new seams without the fabric sinking into the no= tch. In a pinch, use transparent tape to create a smaller hole.

Cleaning Your Iron: To remove starch burns, fusible webbing or plastic, run a hot iron over salt on a brown paper bag. = If the iron is Teflon coated, run it over salt on used or new dryer sheets.

Quilt Pins

Quilt pins are available at each meeting f= rom Kim Gros. Each pin is $3, up to 2 pins. After that they are $5 apiece.=
