September 2014 Guild meeting
Presidents's Message
Hello ladies, I'm sitting here at a marvelous retreat in
Kimberly, Idaho! We are sewing like crazy on our
own projects. Yay! Too bad we have to go away from
our homes in order to stay focused on getting our
projects done. It's beautiful weather here and I'm
reminded of the beginning of Autumn. What a great
time of year! My personal favorite. The colors are so
warm and gorgeous. Let's get out our Fall time
decor, especially our quilts! We learn to enjoy and
embrace every season. Pass a few of those feelings
on to family and friends! I look forward to coming
together with you ladies this month! We are going to
enjoy the "make n take"! So do something of quality
for yourself and enjoy the beginning of a new
season!

p.s. There are still some classes available at Quilt
Fest if you haven’t registered yet. Our own Ruth
Davis and Emily Bailey are teaching some fun ones!
* Sew in will start at 10 am. No machines are needed for this project so just come and have fun ! As Annual meeting will be in full swing come and socialize and enjoy the down time.
* Larae Durtschi has the Ott Light
* Number 8 is due for the UFO
Don't forget to work on your mystery quilt as it is due at our December meeting.
Vivian is still collecting doll quilts for the shelter and if you are feeling ambitious make a full size to donate to the shelter and touch some ones life.
Polka dots! You can make anything you wish but 75% of it has
to be polka dot fabric. We would like you to incorporate
some of the things we have learned this year so your project
needs to include half square triangles, words either pieced,
appliqued or in the quilting and one or more of the
disappearing blocks technique Ruth Davis taught at the
August sew-in. (If you didn't get those instructions talk to
either Ruth or Michelle.) These will be due in January
completely finished!
If you get a chance stop by and and see us. Most of the guild members attended Annual meeting and enjoy learning Ruth Davis and Emily Bailey were some of the amazing teachers that helped us reach out and strengthen our talents. The bonus of the events were the amazing trunk shows and guest speakers at lunch time. We were taught by this guest speaker to listen to a variety of music to inspire us. To look around you and see what you can find that will bring you a bit of peace and help your creative juices flow. What inspires you? Do you keep a variety of music in your sewing/work space. I listen to Pandora radio what do you listen to. Maybe an IPOD or just the radio which every you choice it is all good. Enjoy the process and sit back and enjoy enjoy these amazing quilts.

| The class I chose to take was a Judy Neimyer class, making a double wedding ring This will be my 10 year project. I hope much sooner but time will tell. The following are quilts that were made by the instructor and show cased the lovey creations from a designer who I had never heard of and will always remember. A few tears were shed an laughter about by members of the guild and my dear friends who attended with me and inspired me to take this class. Nothing is better then hearing Let it go sung to you as you tackle a new pattern in the paper piecing process of this quilt (which is most of it) Thanks Denise, Ruth, Patsy, and Sherry for your hand of friendship and loving support as I learned a new technique and stepped out of my comfort zone to make a quilt that will be a wondering when I finally get it finished,. What is your dream quilt to make and what colors would you chose? My dream was to make a double wedding ring, my colors are the colors of this amazing fall season. |

| Patsy and Dion sang us a song at the last day of annual meeting introducing the new theme for next year. Ruth was technical support and it was a fun laughter filled events. The singing was lovely. |
Until next month! Hope to see you here joining us on our journey we all life.
