April Workshop
Half Square Triangle Workshop
Teacher: Terri Jarrett
Date: Saturday, April 28, 2001
Location: Lyndon House Arts Center
Skill Level: ALL levels
The half square triangle block is a square composed
oftwo right triangles. It is a very common piece used in
quilt block design, either alone or combined with other
units. Terri will teach five different techniques for making these units and discuss the pros and cons of each
method. You will learn about "special" and "bonus"
squares--units that can be made in similar ways. Five
key elements of design and designing with half square
triangles will be discussed. Fabric Choices: You are
encouraged to bring "light" and "dark" fabric, about one
yard of each . For more variety in your finished project,
you might bring fat quarters or pieces close to that size.
You should also bring a small supply of scraps, at least
4" square. I encourage everyone to share squares;
however, if you don't want a "scrappy" looking project,
bring what you want to use in your finished project!. If
you don't have a piOject in mind but just want to learn or
practice the techniques, that's fine, too.
Supply 1-is1:
Sewing machine and accessories (don't forget power
cord and foot pedal)
Extra needles
Extension cord
Persona! light source
Design wall (either 1 yard of 42" batting, flannel, or a
tablecloth with a fuzzy backing)
Basic sewing supplies
Pencil and sharpener
Rotary cutting mat with rotary cutter
Rulers: 6 x 24; 6 x 6; 12.5 x 12.5
4 to 8 fat quarters (light fabric)
4 to 8 fat quarters (dark fabric)
Minimum of 10 to 20 light and dark scraps at least 4"
square
Examples of half square triangle quilts that you have
found in book and magazines
Optional:
Bring these if you already have them. Wait to purchase until after the workshop is over, if you like how
they work.

MY "TO DO" LIST...
Quilted Hearts
For those of you who are new (or recent) members
of the Guild, or for those members who need a "friendly"
reminder, your Hospitality chairperson, Mary Ann Cox,
353-1406), needs quilted hearts to send to members
who need encouragement, sympathy, get well wishes
or a congratulatory message. Each quilted heart should
be a 6" finished square with some type of heart design. (Finished means 3 layers: a pieced or appliqued top, batting and back with these 3 layers quilted
and surrounded by a bound edge). These should either be turned in at each Guild meeting or mailed to
Mary Ann at 142 Chesterfield Road, Bogart, 30622.
If you have any information concerning any memberwho falls within the above categories or that needs
to be reported to the Guild concerning our members,
please let her know either by completing a form at any
Guild meeting or calling her.
Patch for the Guild's Tablecloth
For those of you who are new to the Guild and for those
who have never completed a patch for the Guild's tablecloth, here are your instructions. Each member of the Guild
should complete a square each year that will be attached to
the tablecloth. Here's what you do. Cut a block 6 112' square
to use for the back. Make a 6 112' block of your choice
(paper-pieced, applique, etc). Decorate it any way you like.
Be sure to include your name and any offices that you held
during the year. Next lay the decorated block FACE DOWN
(right sides together) on the piece for the back. Sew around
all 4 sides. Cut a slash on the back piece and turn the block
right side out. The finished block should be 6" square. Turn
the block in to Marilyn Osterkamp or give it to the Evelyn
Hanes who is at the Membership Table at any meeting.
Quilt Show Party
Members of the Guild are invited to attend a Quilt
Show Party Thursday evening at 5 PM. It will be held
at the Oconee County Civic Center. We will be celebrating the "Show Set-Up." This will be a time when
we can relax and enjoy our successes and appreciate
the hard work of those who spent lots of time and energy getting "the show on the road." The winners of
ribbons will be announced (except for Viewer's Choice
which will be chosen by popular vote of those who visit
the show), and DOOR PRIZES will be awarded to severallucky members who attend the party. Please bring
finger foods to share at this festive occasion.
Rememberthe schedule forthe Quilt Show (Check
the March Calendar Page in the Newsletter):
"Mantling" -- "Set Up" of the Show:
Thursday, March 1
Show Party: Thursday, March 1, 5 PM
Show: Friday, March 2, 10 AM - 6 PM

"Dismantling" --"Take Down" of the Show
4PM
Quilt Pick Up: AFTER 5 PM, Sunday
Charm Squares
Pam Pontenberg, Charm Square Chairman, announced
at the August meeting that based on Guild preference, the
size of the Charm Square which is swapped each month will
change. The membership wanting to participate chose to
submit 15 - 8" squares at each meeting. This will necessitate that you wash, and then iron 3/4s of a yard for each 15piece packet that you wish to submit. Put 15 squares into a
large zip-lock bag, and you ",Jill receive 15 different squares
by the end of THAT meeting. Pam and a couple of volunteers will work during the meeting to insure that you can take
your squares home with you. To prevent swapping only locally available fabrics, here is the theme list for the next several months; purchase your selections as you travel from
Athens.
This list also allows you to prepare your 6-month
supply ahead of time.
March, EASTER; April, LARGE
FLORALS; May, PASTELS; June, PATRIOTIC; and July, BACKGROUND.
Charity Quiits
Clean up your "Scrap Stash" by making a quilt for one of
our Charities. Make a child-friendly quilt for a child that has
had to flee from "home" to seek shelter with his/her mother at
the Athens Safe House. These quilts can be "receiving blanket" size, crib size, or even single bed size. Give the gift of
comfort to a distraught, frightened child.
Construct a lap
quilt for a resident of Grandview
Nursing Home. The lap
quilt is used for warmth (and sometimes "dignity") for those
residents who are able to sit in wheelchairs or chairs throughout the facility. The lap quilts should measure approximately
40" square.
Quilt Challenge for 2001
Madeline Hawley and her committee have announced
the 2001 Quilt Challenge. It is to be Earth, Fire, Wind, Water. .. or Chocolate! Put this title on the "back burner" while
you work feverishly on the quilts you will enter in the March
Quilt Show. Then, as soon as the Quilt Show is over, your
ideas that have been simmering will begin to take shape.
You will have the summer to complete this challenge! There
are no requirements or limitations on Size. The only requirement is that your creation must meet the requirements
of a quilt--three layers!! The "unveiling" will be at the September 2001 Guild Meeting. See you there with lots of original ideas!
Mark your calendar with the following names (members
of the Challenge Committee) to see what they have done!
Madeline
Hawley (Chairman),
Diane Barret, Jeanne
Lindberg, Jodie Seila, and Francyne Will by.
Notice
If you are willing to help with the Set Up for the Quilt
Show on Thursday (either an day or part of the day),
contact Jeanne Lindberg 546-9391. When you arrive at the Civic Center to help, contact Shirley
Erickson. She will give you a job to do.
May Workshop
May 2001
Workshop
National Teacher: Mary K. Sorenson
Mary Sorenson of longwood, Florida began quilting in
the 1970s. Part of the quilting "boom" spawned by the Bicentennial, she found quiltmaking to be a logical creative
extension of her career as a textile professional
working in the US garment industry. Specializing in traditional fine hand applique done from original patterns, Mary's
distinctive design style is characterized by elegant, formal
lines, complex layering of small pieces, and an emphasis
on using a myriad of fabrics to create visual texture and
excitement.
Her flawless
applique
technique,
and
humourous, hands-on approach to teaching have motivated
students to return to handwork with
enthusiasm.
Mary is the co-founder of The Florida Handwork Gathering, a semi-annual quilting retreat dedicated to
promoting hand applique and hand piecing skills, and designs and markets a full line of applique patterns sold in
quilt shops across the country.
Mary Sorenson will be teaching two workshops on hand
applique techniques,
which will be held at the Lyndon
House. Classes are described below, and each class will
be limited to 20 people. Details such as workshop fee and
supply list will appear in the next newsletter. Call or email
Marybeth
Stalp
with
questions
(543-5397
or
mbstalp@arches. uga.edu).
- Your signing up for workshops must be accompanied
with a $20 check made out to Cotton Patch Quitters. This
check ensures your place in the workshop.
You can mail
checks to Marybeth Stalp, 270 Best Drive, Athens, GA 30606.
The first workshop is at the beginner level, the second at
the intermediate level. You are welcome to sign up for both
workshops, or only for one day. This strategy potentially
allows more guild members to participate in the workshops.
I need help with travel arrangements for Mary Sorenson's
visit (e.g., airport pickup and drop off). and a volunteer to
help me with the workshops on both Friday and Saturday. If
you are willing to help me out with this,
please contact me by phone or email ASAP.
Thanks, Marybeth Stalp.

Heirloom Hand Applique Techniques
Become familiarwith straightforward techniques for
achieving heirloom quality hand applique work. Using
an original pattern designed to incorporate the basic applique skills, you will stitch a variety of techniques in
class. Smoother curves, thinner stems, sharper points
and "V's", and those frustrating little round berries will
be emphasized.
Leave class able to complete this
project with confidence, and ready to tackle more advanced applique projects. This workshop is designed
to improve the level of workmanship for students already
hooked on applique, and to provide a solid basis forthe
beginning student who enjoys hand work.
