Hi to all,
If you went to the Road to California Quilt
Show you will agree with me that it was awesome. The quilting on the quilts was amazing.
It was hard to tell which quilts were Roboquilted (new term for computerized quilting
among long arm quilters) and free motion. I
took a long arm class and that was one of the
topics we discussed and reviewed. It’s nice
that computerized quilting now has its own
category. The judges finally realized it is not
fair to judge free motion alongside computerized quilting. There are a lot of categories
nowadays.
On to business, if you want to show our
opportunity quilt at a guild or event please let
Brenda Moore know. By now you should be
selling those tickets. If you need more tickets
or in some cases a picture to show off our
quilt, again let Brenda know. Our quilt show
is just around the corner. If you would like to
help in the planning please ask Sherry Smiley if she needs any help. As it gets down to
crutch time there is a lot to do. By now Melody Cernitz should have two volunteers to
help with the next upcoming elections. If you
want to run for an office let her know. We are
looking for a new program chair. If you are
planning to enter a quilt in our Quilt Show
the entry form should be in the March or April
newsletter.
As we discussed in our last meeting, the
February speaker bailed on us so we will be
doing a round-a-bout quilt demo on new tech-

February: will be a round about. Learn how to do
4 different bindings and four fun easy projects.

March 10th: Quilt in a Day w/ Eleanor Burns 10am-2pm. Initially we had planned to share an
outing with Kaleidoscope Guild to see Eleanor
Burns presentation on March 4th, but we were only
given 20 spaces. Since there was such a big demand
I have rescheduled so we could have our own date
and all 40-50 slots. Our new date is Thursday
March 10th 10-2. The price is still $20 to include a
lunch from Panera's. If you have any dietary requirements i.e. vegetarian or gluten free, let me
know. I have to send in our requirements 1 week in
advance. If this new date does not work for you and
you have already paid for your seat, I will refund at
the February meeting. If you didn't get a seat and
want one, see me at the February meeting with your
$20. We will carpool and leave around 9 am on
March 10th.
March: - speaker will feature Anelie Belden who
specializes in Modern Dresden Plates that are split,
spin and use Jelly Rolls (2 1/2" strips).
April: will feature award winning Linda Anderson,
who's award winning art quilts have been featured
in many juried quilt shows and quilting magazines.
May: Kaufman Challenge Road Show
