As we go in October I am looking forward to fall ..... apples, pumpkin pie and the
changing of the colors.
I am also looking forward to the CSQG Quilt Challenge. I am anxious to see
all the ideas the members came up with. Also the Night Stitches will be
showing their Crazy Quilt Challenge.
This will be a very exciting evening full of inspiration. We have come a long way in our guild in 25
years!
Please see Kathey Stone or Mary Colwell to sign up for our very special 25th Anniversary
Dinner, it is just $10 for a very special night with lots of surprised. See Holly Harrington if you

WARMTH FOR WARRIORS:
Bert Hodge or Geneann King
Wow there was a lot of needles clacking over the summer. We sent our biggest box yet , 72 hats!
All created by, Lila Eisner, AJ. Ameno, Joyce Dooley, Aggie Vecchio, Susan VanLeighton, Nancy Leeds,
Wanda Rivera, & Natalie and Cristhyan, Mary Colwell, Suzanne VanHoff, Bert Hodge, and me.
Reminder; our Sept. general meeting is on Fri. 9/2. We will have more wool yarn to distribute then. (I've been
hitting the Joann sales)
Don't forget:
Hats: acrylic/wool blend However 100% wool is preferred. It is safer for active duty soldiers- it doesn't melt
from the heat of an attack and is warmer.
Please include with your hats;
*Your Name
* Brand
*Fiber content
Warmth for Warriors headquarters will make labels so that the soldiers will know the name of the person/group
donating.
Please check WWW.WARMTHFORWARRIORS.COM for the complete instructions if you need them.
THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.

Name That Tune
The Coral Springs Quilt Guild 2011 Challenge
In the summer of 1986, twenty women with an interest in quilting
organized the Coral Springs Quilters whose objectives are to promote
the art of quilt making, to share quilting information and education,
to stimulate high standards of design and technique, and to contribute
to the arts of the community.
Today the group is over 120 members strong and still growing.
CSQG’s 2011 "Name that Tune" Challenge was to make a quilt that
represents a song, interpreted as whatever the song means to you.
Any construction method, technique or embellishments were allowed,
but the quilt had to be made entirely by the member.
This Challenge really showcases the talent found in the CSQG!

I don’t have a handmade thank you card like I did the last time from our day treatment folks, but the
supervisor of our housing unit has had several of their consumers in and given them quilts – you cannot
imagine the reaction! To be homeless and then finally have a place to live
and be given something so beautiful as your quilts reduced many to
tears. You have no idea what an impact your generosity has. Have a great
day. Carolyn Wheat MSW
Human Services Regional Coordinator
Broward County Elderly and Veterans Services Division
More than 70 foster children are currently growing up at the Village. Once lost and
alone, today they are full of hope and joy – a reflection of your caring and generous
heart. On behalf of our entire family, thank you so much for thinking of our
children with your gift of 40 handmade quilts.

FLORIDA CALENDAR OF EVENTS
QUILTS AT THE CORNELL MUSEUM
Color is everything this summer at the Cornell Museum of Art and Culture at Old School Square
in Delray Beach. The museum’s current show, Color Outside the Lines, focuses on Crayon Art and
the many uses of color. This is coloring as you never imagined it!
To complement their theme, the Museum is now showing the twenty-five year collection of
quilts from the South Florida Fair contests which make up the Palm Beach County Quilters’ Guild
collection. Because of their size and limited space in other venues, this is the first time that the
entire collection has ever been shown at one time. The museum is a wonderful venue with large
galleries that allow us to show all of the quilts and it is spectacular to see them all hanging.
In addition, two groups of small art quilts from the Quilters’ Innovative Design group are
included with the display. “Colorganics” is a set of 13 quilts which show the range of the color
spectrum. “Zipt” presents 10 small quilts, each of which contains one or more zippers as part of its
design.
The show opened July 12 and continues through October 23, 2011. The museum is open Tuesday
through Saturday from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM and on Sunday from 1:00PM until 4:30 PM. Please
check the Old School Square website: www.oldschool.org for specific information on hours,
admission, and directions to Old School Square. You may take a quick peek at the exhibits by
