Welcome
Bring Your Favorite Quilt or Technique
A big thank you to
everyone who came to the September meeting and helped tie quilts or put kits
together for Community Quilts. An even bigger thank you to Becky Siva who has led the charge to
keep our community warm.
So, October is supposed to be our MVQG “Stars” program…guess what…each
and every one of us is an MVQG Star. On that note, I would like EVERYONE to
bring their favorite quilt or technique, or quilt including your favorite
technique to guild in October. So it doesn’t matter how old or young the quilt
is—just bring it and share. I’m sure it will recharge everyone’s batteries as
we go into the holiday rush season.
On another note, we had a guild member donate close to three hundred
books to us for our fundraiser. I will start bringing those to meetings a box
or two at a time over the next few months. All books are a dollar each…many are
new. What a wonderful way to get your secret sis hooked up, or our favorite
quilter ready for a wonderful holiday season. So bring your spare change and
leave with a few books to enjoy.
Happy Quilting

A Note from the President
Well, it’s that
time again. I feel like the priest/preacher when they have to do the sermon on
stewardship. No one wants to hear it, but we all know we need to help in some
way. So, let me first thank those of you who are contributing. It doesn’t
matter how big or small the job is; every job helps.
I want to give a
great big thanks to those on my Executive Board who are going to step down;
some of them have been doing their position for a few years and some for at
least 8 years. However, they feel it’s time to be an audience member. THANKS!!!

These ladies have done a wonderful job. Many thanks from me. You have
been a great help to our guild and myself.
Now, I just ask those of you who have some time to think of volunteering
for one of these positions. Please think of giving back to the guild. If you
have any questions, please phone or email me. The Nominating Committee has
remained the same this year, and they will only be looking to fill Treasurer
and President. Thanks.

Last Chance to be a Secret Stitcher
There is still time to sign up to be a Secret Stitcher. If you want to
join in the fun, please contact Barbara
Carruth at jccbsc@gmail.com or at 254-8136 before October 10.
All those who have
signed up for this activity should look for the Secret Stitcher basket in the
cafeteria window at the October meeting. There will be an envelope with your
name that includes the name and some information about the person you are
assigned.
Bring your first gift to the November meeting. This is a fun way to get
to know another guild member. Each month 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. The
identities of the Stitchers will be revealed at the May meeting.
Come join us and add a
little mystery to your life!
Quilt Show Raffle Quilt
Well, the Celtic Wallhanging
(all hand done) is coming along nicely. We have about 5 ladies hand appliquéing
the 9 blocks. It looks wonderful.
I have decided on the bed quilt. It came down to two choices. I’ve
chosen a Judy Niemeyer pattern - Glacier
Pines. If you look this pattern up on the Internet, you will see it has
4 blocks. To make it a queen we will add large borders. I thought Niemeyer's
are stunning quilts and this one will also have the enlarged borders to show
off the quilting.
The other quilt had a huge amount of
pieces and was tedious to do. I
talked to someone who had made the twin size. Now think of even more pieces for
a queen size, lots of concentration to keep it right when assembling and
several piecers. I thought this made the quilt more difficult. Also, this quilt
is stunning for the piecing not the quilting. I wanted to be able to highlight
our quilting abilities in the Judy Niemeyer pattern.
I’ll let everyone know when we pick
out fabric.
