Events Diary
Guild meetings are on the first Saturday of the month
Greetings everyone,
at 1:30  pm & third Thursday of the month at 9:30
am in the Christchurch Bridge Club rooms,
I have had a Korean mother and grandfather staying
with me over the past week. Neither speaks English,
though the mother understands a few words. We have
had fun drawing pictures to communicate, and with
the help of sign language have managed quite well.
Last night they cooked dinner and my eyes nearly
popped out of my head when I saw about twenty
cloves of garlic going into the pot to season one small
chicken. It was very nice but I am very suspicious that
my breath may be a challenge right now!
Nova Place, off Barbadoes Street.
It has been great to begin holding meetings at the
Bridge Club. The facilities are very nice indeed and it is
a big relief to have storage on site. The availability of
parking is a huge help too. I hope it can remain as our
venue for the foreseeable future.
The Committee has been planning our Christmas meeting. Please start looking out any Christmas items you
have made and select a favourite to bring along for a
special Christmas show and tell. Also if you have a
workbox that is a special treasure, please would you
bring it too. At the November meeting you will receive
a paper bag to fill and exchange in December. You will
also need some scraps of Christmas fabric, as well as
our usual gift for a child in a bag and a food item for
the Food Bank. I know Christmas seems quite a long
way off, but there may be something you need to finish
to bring along. This gives you warning, and as we all
know things get busier and busier over the next month
or so.

Library Overdues
We are starting to have a problem with a few long term
overdues at the library. In fairness to all our borrowers
who deserve to have access to our whole collection, we
have decided that we need to impose some penalties.
· If you have a book or magazine overdue for six
months or longer, your borrowing rights will be stopped
until the items are returned.
· After 12 months, if the items have not been returned, you will be invoiced for the replacement cost of
the items.
This is available at most meetings. Leave your rotary cutter blade assembled as you need the handle to run the
blade through the sharpener.

Mars and Venus Thing
A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for
me and buy one carton of milk and if they have avocados, get
6."
A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of
milk.
The wife asks him, "Why did you buy 6 cartons of milk?"
He replied, "They had avocados."
Please, if you borrow from the library, try to return your
books after one month
If you're a woman, I'm sure you're going back to read it again!
Men will get it the first time.

Book Reviews
Circle Play: Simple designs for fabulous fabrics
Reynola Pakusich; 2004
This book gives instructions for making one particular type of quilt: circles in a square. That might sound a simplistic
topic for an entire book, but the fabric choices and colour placement are what make these quilts sing. And don’t panic there’s no curved piecing!
First, you choose a theme; fabrics with a lot of texture work best. Then you’re taken step by step through the preparation of the circles, background fabrics and borders.
Circles are sewn to the background squares by appliqué - either by hand or machine. The backing fabric behind the
circles is then cut away. Done carefully, these “new” circles can then be used in a second-generation quilt: a smaller
quilt, with smaller circles and squares, which will bear a resemblance to the first.
If this sounds complicated, relax - it isn’t. There are loads of colour photographs and illustrations which will inspire you
to begin collecting and sorting through your stash immediately.

Modern Quilts Unlimited. Summer 2013.
Published by Meander Publishing. This new quarterly magazine has been purchased for the library.
A very interesting American magazine with wonderful quilts to make. Really nice slick lines and colours. Be warned,
have plenty of time to spare because there will be projects here that you will want to make.

Book Review
Forty seven projects are featured, with most having a last
word on 'dangers' and suggesting better ways of doing
them. The tea cosy chapter had me remembering the
number of pleated tea cosies I made in the 1950’s. (They
made great presents.) Aprons were also very much in
vogue and I still have several of my mothers handywork
tucked away, some made on check gingham and embroidered in cross stitch. With the current resurgence of bag
making there are several worthwhile patterns - also patterns for cardigans, jumpers, a waistcoat, a cravat and
knitted slippers. I don’t think I will copy the pattern for
striped gloves! I remember as a child during the war having to wear striped gloves made from scraps of knitting
wool - every finger a different colour. Embarrassing!
Loved the gypsy apron on page 211, the gorgeous patchwork curtain on page 267, and the patchwork scarf on
page 436.
With Bold Needle & Thread by Rosemary
McLeod;
Adventures in Vintage Needlecraft
A Godwit book published by Random House
This book is a must to read or own. It was a joy to review
and a wonderful addition to our library, as was Rosemary
McLeod's first book Thrift to Fantasy.
Enjoyed too the time-lines with significant happenings,
firsts and births. The year of my birth – 1936 – Gone with
the wind was published; Adolf Hitler opened the Olympics
in Berlin, a gust of wind blew a passenger train off the
tracks on the Rimutakas and four children died. Also born
that year: Winnie Mandela, Ursula Andress, Engelbert
Humperdinck, Roy Orbison, Burt Reynolds and Yves St
Laurent.
Remember sacking oven cloths and sacking aprons? Remember the transfers supplied in most craft magazines? So many memories sparked by this enchanting
read!!
We are just so fortunate to have Rosemary catalogue all
this for us otherwise so much would be forgotten. It is

for many New Zealand women from the 1920’s through to
the 50’s.
I wonder where Rosemary keeps all her collections I did
go to an exhibition of hers at the Dowse over a decade
ago. It filled a large gallery.
I loved the funny observations and comments. This
one: 'What you will notice in drawings of women in the
1920s is their complete lack of breasts. In this period all
women grew up without them, quite mysteriously, and we
only grew them again a decade later. And another (of a
model with a nipped in waist): It’s the waist that gets to
me, that utterly sucked-in, strangled waist. I was quite old
before I learned that designers padded women’s hips to
create that effect, but, that aside, the poor woman needs a
decent dinner.'

From the Committee
Judy Myers noticed in the paper that women at the prison
were issued with 2 bras and 5 pairs of knickers which were
expected to last the time of incarceration. It was agreed
that we ask members to donate bras and new knickers.
We will have a box at the November meetings for your
contributions. We felt that it was fine for the bras to be
"recycled" but that really the knickers did need to be new.
Many thanks for your help with this.
Textile and Fibre Arts Network- Update.
The Network group continues to work towards promoting textile and fibre arts and seeking a suitable site/venue
for a shared Textile and Fibre Arts Centre for Christchurch.
Five members of the Network attended the City Council Earth Quake Forum in August, to seek Council support towards a site or venue. It was rather daunting coming in after Roger Sutton from CERA, but we stated our case, and
we did receive quite a few questions. It’s all about being a squeaky wheel and keeping our profile up there. With
the local body elections coming up and some Councillors retiring, we will soon have a new group soon to target.
A Textile and Fibre Trail Brochure has been produced, with wonderful support from 10 retailers who contributed
significantly to the costs. Please support and promote these businesses that have allowed us to produce 4000 brochures giving the details of how to contact the Guilds and groups in Christchurch. We hope that with the first reprint we will have even more retailers supporting us, and more groups listed. The brochures have been given out at
meetings, and more are available on request. Please pass them on to any non-members or craft groups who may
be seeking a group to join.
The “Craft de Clutter” sale will again be held on Saturday, 25.January, 2014, to raise funds for the Network. We
hope you will support this. (See separate notice).

2014 Exhibition Raffle Quilt
You will remember that at the Midwinter Gathering we talked about using the Japanese Windows Square to make a
Raffle Quilt for the exhibition. There were 85 at the Midwinter Gathering ergo we gave out the wherewithal to make
85 squares. So far I have got 48 back and thank you very much to those who have made up the square and returned it.
Those who haven’t yet got around to it I would be grateful to have them back. If you do not wish to make the square
up or do not have the time, I would be grateful to have the pieces back and we will make them up.
Thanks to all who have or will take part
Workshop review - Cara Gulati
Friday night the 26th of July I attended the quilt talk given by Robbi Joy Eklow & Cara Gulati. I was a fun talk where we
found out how they started quilting and what their studio set ups are. And had a chance to get up close & personal
with their quilts. It was a lot of fun.
The next day I and others attended Cara's "Radiant Suns" class. I had been a bit overwhelmed when I saw the class
needs list which included a minimum of one of three sets of five tone on tone fabrics in five different colours (ie
twenty five fat quarters of of fabrics for the class and another 50 fat quarters to finish the quilt). But the class was a
wonderful discussion of colour and gradations. And her technique involved templates that were designed well with
slack put into them and the quilt blocks were sewn together ... well not easily to start with but once we got the hang of
it they went together relatively easily and with no pins. I managed to finish eight individual blocks that will go together
to make two suns during the class.
I really enjoyed the class & Cara's bubbly personality. I'm looking forward to seeing her & Robbi Joy back in Christchurch for the Symposium in 2017.

Freezer Paper
Following Linda’s talk about using freezer paper I thought I’d check out its availability, and here is what I found:
Within NZ:
Small packs are available locally from local quilt/sewing retailers for a few dollars and these are good for those who
use only occasionally.
Spotlight has Reynolds Freezer Paper by the metre: 45cm wide x 1 metre is $2.99. Minimum quantity is 25cm. You
need to ask for it as they keep it under the counter.
Thestitchsmith.co.nz 50cm x 45cm $1.00 plus postage
Needlecraft.co.nz
12” x 15” 40 sheets $21.00 plus postage of $5.90 which could cover up to 10 packs
TradeMe.co.nz – boxes available from time to time (Reynolds 50sq ft sold for $19.00)
Fishpond.co.nz – Weston refill roll – 18” x 300 yards $67.95 including delivery, also Ricky Timms extra wide sheets 42”
x 42” and also A4 sized sheets.
From the USA:
Amazon.com - Reynolds brand, in boxes of 50 – 150 sq. feet. from $USD3.00 to $USD8.00, but postage for a box was
about $60.00! Also A4 sized sheets - 30 sheets to a pack. $USD11.28 per pack plus postage. Best find a traveller friend

June Nixey Lecture, “Shut in Stitchers”, Arohata Prison.
June was the guest speaker at the Christchurch Quilter’s October meeting that Thursday Guild members were invited
to attend. (Notice arrived too late to get out to the Saturday members.) However there were several other Guild members present besides me.
June assisted by other volunteer quilters from the Wellington Guild started up this programme in Arohata Women’s
Prison in 1993. It has been very popular programme with the women, continuing over the last 20 years on a regular
basis.
It started off as a six-week course every Saturday morning from 9-12. The first quilts made were 6” blocks, (9 across, 11
down,) which then had borders attached, were bagged and tied. More adventurous patterns have been added over
the years.
The women prisoners choose to attend the classes that are limited to 10 participants. It’s all on first name terms, and
the volunteers don’t know the reasons for the women’s imprisonment.
The prisoners are mainstream minimum-security prisoners, and have access during class to all the sewing requirements, although I think there are only four machines.
They can work on their quilts under supervision in between classes.
Fabric is donated, and there is storage on site for this. Fundraising is required for batting which is bought in bulk
The process for running programmes such as this in prison is increasingly well managed with volunteers being appropriately assessed and trained for the role.
June told us some amazing stories of her years working with the women, a role she and other volunteers have found to
be very rewarding. They are always thanked for the classes and receive letters of thanks after release.
While June would be pleased to see a programme in Christchurch Women’s Prison, there was no “call to action” at the
meeting. However June is very happy to meet up with or talk to any one interested in being involved with a programme for Christchurch. Contact details below.
June has been recognised for her community service by Arts Access, and was interviewed by the Dominion Post and
National Radio’s Jim Mora.
June can be contacted by email at [email protected] or see her blog junezscrapz.blogspot.com

A Wee Shop in Elgin
"Did you find the wee shop?"
My Daughter is living in Scotland for two years & I called in to see her before coming home last week and no, I had not
found that wee shop in Elgin.
We went immediately to find it & oh, what a thrill. It was really tucked away upstairs in a quaint old building in High
Street.
It was stacked to the ceiling with beautiful fabrics & finished quilts. The workroom was to the side of the tiny shop
where four Quilt Makers were busily employed.
Veronique herself was busy opening new fabrics as we walked in & she was so excited about them, it became contagious. They really were fabulous. A whole range of mix-&-match in colour & design.
Elgin is not on the tourist route, but if you are near Aberdeen or Inverness, Elgin is half way between the two cities.
The shop: Veronique's

Christchurch Quilter’s Exhibition, 3-6 October
Hopefully you were able to attend this delightful exhibition as there was something there for everyone.
Guest Exhibitor was Life Member Anne Groufsky who showed her collection of small quilts based on Christchurch
buildings and architectural features.
Kathleen Burford was awarded Best in Show, Judges Choice and Best Contemporary for “Red Sky at Night”. Kathleen
has several very large quilts on display at Christchurch South Library during October, so do see them if you can.
Ngaire Dawson impressed us by winning several awards. Her “Layers of Time” was started in a Rosalie Dace workshop,
and Ngaire couldn’t speak highly enough of what an inspirational tutor Rosalie had been. This quilt received awards for
Merit Contemporary and Judges Choice.
Jackie van der Plas’s “Hundertwasser Houses Vienna” was awarded Best Pictorial and Judges Choice.
“Memories” by Marie Louise Winchester was awarded Best Traditional and Best Commercially quilted. This was a stunning white whole cloth quilt with beautiful machine quilting and trapunto work.
Altogether, a most enjoyable exhibition from Christchurch Quilters.
