TIES THAT BIND
Meeting is Wednesday, June16 @ 7:00 pm June 2010
JUNE HOSTESSES: Joan D, Joan L, Lori P. Thanks to May hostess group for the treats. (July: LaVerne, Aimee, ????????) 1 more volunteer
BLOCK OF THE MONTH: Colleen brought the block for June, a “Celestial Spires” block to be done in batiks. XXXXXX was the winner of the Jacob’s Ladder Blocks.
BIRTHDAY BLOCKS:
Mary M and Norma both have September birthdays. Mary has a pattern with various blocks- done with her cream background and your fabrics.
JULY 10th FABRIC RESCUE CLASS Come to the Germantown Public Library on Saturday July 10th from 9-3 for the Fabric Rescue class. Norma needs rsvp counts, and the workshop is free to guild members. Lunch provided.
MILWAUKEE ART MUSEUM:A great display of wonderful old quilts and will be at the MAM until September. Time frame is 1760-1850, so all the quilts are hand made. August 7th is documentation day- Maggie Gordon will give a tour on this date.
FOLDED FABRIC WORKSHOP: Members came early on our regular guild meeting night to learn about unique folded fabric blocks with Sue Behrens. 3 new techniques were presented and we plan to have Sue back for folded fabric borders.
DOWNY QUILTS: We’ve already had 3 or 4 quilters send for and finish their cute “comfort” quilts from Downy. The kits provide all fabrics, you provide the batting and thread.
QUILT HISTORY MUSEUM:
They’re ready to raise the roof, and we want to help them reach their goal. Seven lucky TTB members were there in May when Mary Koval presented the museum with an extraordinary collection of quilts- including a Baltimore Album quilt that is stunning (and pricey)!
**Other WQHM news, the Quilt Index is almost ready to start training for entering information into the database. 7,000 quilts to enter at this time- this can be done at home on any computer (expected to take 3 years)
ITEMS FOR DOOR PRIZES:
Remember, one woman’s scrap is another’s treasure.
Anything you wish to donate can be used.
SILENT AUCTION:
It’s time to start saving those items for the September Silent Auction. Your ugly fabric or notions may be just what a TTB fellow quilter NEEDS for her next project. Consider giving up that quilt top that you just can’t finish- someone else would love to have the chance to make it something special. (3 box minimum)
2010 QUILT SHOW: We already have 8 vendor spaces full. We will be doubling prize money this year. All forms have been emailed to our website guru Randy! It’s not too early to enter your quilts!!??
COUNTRY STORE: Time to start thinking, sewing, and finishing your donations to the boutique. We’re always looking for unusual items to sell. We will be doing appliqué on cotton kitchen towels, and Sylvia plans to cut material for kits. Joan D. will use old wool sweaters to make mittens. What will YOU do???
DONATIONS: We donated another $200 to the Quilt History Museum, and $170 in fabric
to the McQuilters along with a $30 check for supplies.
WQI NEXT MEETING: August 7/8 at American Family in Madison, and October 2/3 at the Four Points Sheraton in Brown Deer.
BROWN BAG EXCHANGE SUCCESSFUL:TTB ladies brought unmarked bags with fat quarters for the Christmas exchange. The fabric will be combined with stash fabric, a pattern, and that “special magic” that all quilters perform to make that unique gift for their brown bag buddies.
