The Asheville Quilt Guild d isPatc h The purpose of the Guild is to promote and preserve the art and history of quilts through education of its members, and to inspire community involvement. The Guild depends on the cooperation of the entire membership for the success of its projects. May 2012 www.ashevillequiltguild.org Volume 25 Issue 3 P r e s i d e n t ’s N o t e While the AQG Board is still working through some questions about costs, book cover, photos, and potential advertisers, the proposed cookbook fundraiser needs one more facet to make it a "go." That is two or three recipes from you. Though almost 100 recipes have been put on the website (see page 4 for easy instructions on how to add 2 or 3 of your recipes), those have been put on by about 20 people. We know from the annual picnics at the Governor's Western Residence and other get togethers where you bring food that this guild has cooks and bakers who produce delicious edibles. So open the website and look at the categories (including Quick and Easy) and add two or three of your own. Sharon Smaldone wants to ask some of our guest lecturers and workshop leaders to provide recipes, but she needs to know first that we have enough already on the website to publish a cookbook. Please add your great recipes this week. If we are to sell the cookbooks at the quilt show, we need this lead time. The Board wants your recipes to be public, but it is concerned about your privacy rights and about minimizing the number of guild emails you receive. Your new guild Directory has valuable info, phone numbers, email and snail mail (my mother's term) addresses, the Board is trying to balance your "need to know" with your desire for privacy. We do NOT publish the information listed above in our newsletter because that is available on the website to the general public. You always have access to the website information and to the information in the monthly newsletter, the disPatch, whether you receive it online or it comes in your mailbox. Alice Inside this Issue: Lectures/Workshops"...............2-3 Membership"..................................3 Ways and Means"..........................4 Helms, our newsletter editor, will send information between newsletters to everyone by email only when it is news that involves the entire guild such as an emergency cancellation of a guild meeting because of unfavorable weather conditions. And Sandy Gillis, our webmaster, will follow the same policy. Alice welcomes news for the disPatch about items of interest involving our members and quilting so, if you will provide those to her by the last day of the month and there is space, she will include those articles in the next newsletter. If you have questions about guild news or the cookbook proposal or anything else, please talk with one of the members of the Board. You have our numbers! " " " " Janie Instructions for Sara's Quilt Blocks It’s not too late to make a block or two or three for Sara Hill’s president’s quilt. Sara will assemble the blocks into a quilt which will hang in the offices of Habitat for Humanity. Make an 8 1/2" unfinished block with a house (for Habitat) either pieced or appliquéd with or without embellishment. Use mostly primary colors. Use some kind of sky fabric as background at the top. Please put your quilt block in a ziplock bag and pin your name to the block. Accompanying the finished quilt will be a page that identifies the maker of each block. Bring to the next Guild meeting. There will be a designated space on a table as you enter the meeting room.

Betty’s quilts have been featured in many books and magazines. You will have an opportunity hear about her quilt making at her lecture, “Stitched by Hand.” “Grapes” or “After the Harvest” are the patterns from which to pick for Betty’s workshop. Students will learn to appliqué sharp inside and outside points and tight inside curves. Embroidered tendrils add the finishing touch. Betty will show you how to conquer the circles to make grapes. You are ready to take this class if you are a CONFIDENT BEGINNER. This means you are familiar with what an appliqué stitch is and have given it a try. This workshop is to help you take your skills a step further whether you are a confident beginner or an advanced hand-appliquér. Pattern fee: $10 (You bring your fabrics.) - OR - Kit fee: $27 (Betty provides all the fabrics you need to make the entire quilt top.) www.bettyekernsuiter.com. June Lecture and Workshop Tuesday & Wednesday, June 19 pm & 20 Pat Speth’s trunk show, “Five-Inch is a Cinch: How Nickel Quilts Are Created,” is sure to get you fired up about using 5" squares of fabric. Pat will bring a great assortment of quilts from her collection. She states, “We focus on the blocks in the quilts and the simple components they are made from.” Pat’s workshop, “Half Square Triangles and Four Patches” offer 15 quilts to make featuring: Jewel Box, Northern Lights, Sunny Lanes, Mount Hood, Flying Home from Bali Bali, Beach Party, Shoo Fly, Jacob's Ladder, Path and Stiles, Idaho Beauty, Churn Dash, Heritage Trail, Market Square, Hickory Hills and Texas Two Step. These units could be considered the cornerstones of quilting. Simple sewing and cutting techniques will turn your 5" squares into many great quilts. Once you play with these units on a design wall you may come up with a new block of your own! You will also learn how to make two different sizes of nine patches from 5" squares and sew a mystery block! A handout will be given and discussed on how to make your pieced border fit your quilt top. Rated: All skill levels. To see Pat’s quilts related to this workshop, go to www.patspeth.com or see her books at the Workshop table.

It was very heart warming to receive the response from guild members at our March and April meetings. We hope you continue to make blocks, choosing fabrics from your own stash or picking up kits. We encourage you to sign the center of the blocks with your name, city, date, and/or a brief comment. Here is an excellent example of the variety of fabrics you can use! Yolanda Hall, AQG President-Elect disPatch May 2012 Page 4 2012 Quilt Show Color Your Life …. With Quilts September 28 - 30, 2012 We have a Quilt Show Facebook page now, thanks to our Publicity Chair, Peggy Newell. If you participate in Facebook, use the search bar at the top to find "Asheville Quilt Show" & please "Like" our page, and encourage all of your "Friends" to do so also. Let's show Peggy how much we appreciate her efforts on this. We're offering a free raffle ticket for the Opportunity Quilt to the 50th, 100th and 150th person to "Like" our page! It's a way to get news out to those who might like to attend our quilt show, especially "late breaking" news, like the hotel discounts we got last year, and already have in place this year. If you were at the April AQG meeting, you got a lot of information about what qualifies to be entered into our quilt show. The short answer is: almost anything you made in the past 2 years! Can you enter a quilt made from a pattern in a magazine, book, a purchased pattern, or inspired by a quilt you saw? YES! Can you enter one started in a class? With the exception of the Art Quilt categories, YES! Can you enter one that is strip-pieced, paper-pieced, appliquéd, fused, decorated with paints, or thread painted? YES! Does your entry have to be original? NO, except in the Art Categories. The main restriction is that your quilt not be made from a kit (we don't want 15 identical quilts hanging in the show - choose your own fabrics). It has to have been Member News The Spring class of Asheville Living Treasures will be publicly honored in an induction ceremony on Sunday, May 20 at 1:00 pm in the sanctuary of the First Congregational United Church of Christ located at 20 Oak Street in downtown Asheville, light reception to follow. Sara Hill will be inducted. AQG members are invited, it is open to the public. Please keep Helen Kehoe and her husband in your thoughts and prayers as they continue to experience loss in the family. Congratulations to Sheila Cheek! The students at The Asheville School voted for her quilt as their favorite, best fitting the theme of the show. disPatch May 2012 finished in the past 2 years - that means you can find a UFO in your stash and finish it and enter it! If you have a quilt that doesn't meet the criteria for some reason, but you'd still like to share it, there is a category called "Exhibit Only." It will hang in the show, but won't be judged, and won't be eligible for prizes. Those who started this show have reassured me that they wanted it to be inclusive, not exclusive. And that's still true today. Let's all share what we've been working on, and inspire each other, as well as our neighbors and friends who might like to try the art of quilting, or just enjoy the variety of talents that we know exist in our wonderful guild. Your friends will ooh & aah when they see your creation hanging in our wonderful new venue! Keep your eye on our Quilt Show page on the website for new developments. Sandy Gillis is doing a wonderful job of posting new information. Soon we'll have a listing of Sponsors, as well as our 20+ Vendors and our Demos. And we are very close to having a new way to sign up for volunteer jobs from your home computer, thanks to the hard work of Lorie Groetzinger, JoAnne Hewatt, Yolanda Hall & Sandy Gillis. Thanks to Charlotte McCranie for the idea to pursue this. Remember that each member is asked to volunteer for at least 2 hours to help make the show happen. We need everyone's energy and time to bring off our annual celebration of everything quilts." " " " " " " " " Katie & Roger Winchell, Quilt Show Co-Chairs Micki Batte recently organized a quiltmaking project for families and friends of organ donors in Western Carolina. When Micki found out that families and friends had made quilt blocks several months ago, she volunteered to make them into quilts. Norene Goard quilted the quilts and they will be hanging in the lobby of Mission Hospital until May 9th when they will be displayed at a ceremonial dinner for the families of these wonderful gift givers. More blocks will be collected at the dinner which Micki will make into a quilt for next year. Micki said, “It’s been an honor to do this in memory of the donors for their families.” Contact Neysa Hurt at 281-3258 or [email protected] with your news for this space. Page 5 Bee News Joan Tolley and members of the East-Enders Bee worked from September to April with Mr. Jim Griffin's fourth grade class at Black Mountain Elementary School to make pillows for their Mothers for Mother's Day. Mr. Griffin used the beginning classes to show how math is used to create squares for quilts. “The children learned to thread a needle and hand sew their blocks together for the first few meetings and then we brought our sewing machines and they really liked that,” said Joan. The children sandwiched the top with batting and backing and then tied them. In the final class the children stuffed their pillows and hand sewed them closed. Everyone had a great time working with the children. The class was featured on the WLOS Never Stop Learning report on April 24th.
