We had a Great Christmas Party in December. If you weren't there you missed a great party. Thanks to our Hostess' The Blocks for the 2010 raffle quilt were put on a special table they look great. We had 4 groupings of exchange blocks. Take a look at the show and tell from December. Again, some nice show and tell. Not a lot, but quality stuff. Remember, January is the White Elephant sale. Proceeds go to our library fund. See you in 2010.

Thanks to Teri T. for taking pictures at the last meeting. She dropped her photo card off tonight at my house. She got here before me and my husband and was parked in the driveway with the ambulance with the lights on! My husband drove up and wondered what was going on. Pulled a good one on him! I LOL (laughed out loud) when he told me what he came home too. (Usually I AM home before him...)
Hope you enjoy the pictures. We sure do have some great show and tell.

October Meeting Show and Tell
The October lesson was given by Diana Shull. She shared her wonderful collection of Mola's from Panama. I took pictures of all the Mola's that she brought and that is primarily what is in the slide show from the meeting. With our Quilt Show last month there wasn't a lot of show and tell to be shown.
We will be having an all day workshop on October 31st. We are calling it "Quilters Treat" Connie Bauer will be leading the workshop. The lesson will be a Jelly Roll quilt. Cutting instructions were handed out at the meeting. They also will be put in the newsletter. Connie said you need 40 fabrics in a Jelly roll.
The Quilters Treat will be held at Hazen City Hall starting at 9 am. Ending time is not determined. Maybe it won't end until all the ghosts and goblins come to get us.
Pot luck lunch will be held. Tricks and treats are also welcome. Pictures of the sample quilt will also be loaded onto the blog page. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

August Show and Tell (2009)
Hi all,
We had a good meeting last night. Kathy Repnow did another great lesson on English paperpiecing. We all got kits from www.paperpieces.com. The fabric in the kits was from Blank Textiles. Hopefully everyone will give Grandms's flower garden a try. (good car project, if you're not driving).
Show and tell was good. Clare had two weeks of sewing and lots to show. We had some beautiful tops shown. Check out the slide show. Next month will be the Quilt show. Hope everyone has an opportunity to come to the show. Peggy Cahoon challenged everyone to enter at least one item in this years quilt show. Hope we can all make that challenge.

July meeting 2009
Hello all.
We again had great attendance at the meeting. It started out looking like show and tell wouls be slim, then Cheryl Klee totally out did herself! She put together some great hospice blocks. some which she had donated kits from Dickenson's Bernina So and Sew shop. (hope I spelled it correctly) VERY NICE OF THEM TO DONATE!
We had a silent auction with oodles of stuff on them... We asked for some volunteers to head up a overnighter... or an over"day"er for those of us who function better in the day time... Talk about it amoungst yourselves...
I will put up a slide show each month AND I will always upload to the shutterfly account:

About the slide show:
It only took me all day to get the slide show up... You can move your mouse to the base of the screen and I tried to label the pictures. Not guaranteeing everything is correct! All the pictures are also located on our Shutterfly account. You can click on that to go right to that web site by clicking on it. ENJOY!
June Meeting 2009
Joel'l Neumiller was our lesson leader. She demonstrated how to make a self-binding receiving blanket. We had a full house again... and some very nice show and tell. I am going to try to upload a slideshow to this website for you to watch our show and tell. Hope you enjoy!

Show and Tell: May 2009
What a fun disappearing 9-patch
Mary Jane made this for her daughters FBLA RaffleShe will still have tickets at the next meeting.
May Guild Lesson
We had a great guild lesson last night. "Ask the Experts" was conducted by Kathy Repnow and Diana Shull. tonights discussions were on batting, re-drafting a block to a smaller size, cleaning machines, using brown tone threads for sewing seams and some tricky sewing suggestions. Thanks to our non-experts... remember you have to live over 50 miles and carry a brief case to be an expert.

Great addition to the guild!
Thanks Clare for setting up our new blog. Looks great! I think this could be a great tool.

Getting Started
This is a new venue for our Guild. Possibly a way to connect to each other when we can't meet. Hopefully we can add pictures from Show and tell at our Guild meetings. Post happenings in the quilting world and in North Dakota. The options are endless. I don't have any pictures as of right now... but I will be figuring this out soon.
At any rate... lets get ready for our 19th annual Quilt Show: "A Children's Fantasy"
At our April meeting we got into groups and started the "rip it up for kids" challenge for the September Quilt Show. Dates: Sept. 11-12, 2009.
We had groups of 6 get together and each started with a yard of kid friendly fabric. We ripped the fabric in half and passed the fabric to the next person... continuing to rip in half until we each had a piece of each of the 6 fabrics. Now to the challenge... make a kids quilt out of the fabric! Yes, you can add more fabric to the grouping... Could be an interesting challenge. Good luck to all participants. If you didn't get a chance to participate, bring your yard of fabric to guild in May... More will be ripping it up for kids at the May Meeting.
