May 2019_____________________________________________________Longview, TX
President's Corner
Dear Ladies,
Spring is here and summer is right around
the corner. As I was driving down HWY. 259,
between Ore City and Lone Star, TX., on my way to
Lakeview Baptist Encampment, the wild flowers
were beautiful and amazing. GOD's paint brush was
glorious. Speaking of Lakeview Baptist
Encampment, for those of our guild members who
didn't attend April's meeting, we voted to have a
Quilt retreat on January 9,10, 11, and 12 (until 2:00
PM Sunday). I made reservations for 20 people. I
will explain at our May meeting the details. The
rooms are wonderful and the food is great. I will
have a sign-up sheet and other details at the May
meeting. See you at Guild, Donna Reagh
*Next board meeting will be before the June
meeting.

This website shows an ingenious and
cheap way to hang a quilt with no
hanger showing.
Heartisans Marketplace (112 W Methvin St)
has a 6' long arm frame and machine available to
rent (quilt must be no wider than 58"). You can
rent it for $50.00 per day plus batting (if you
don't bring your own). You can also buy thread
from them or bring your own. If interested, call
Cindy Andrews and she will meet you there and
help you to get set up.

June Program and possible workshop:
Our June program will be on Seminole
Patchwork, using the book Basic Seminole
Patchwork by Cheryl Greider Bradkin. In order
not to break copyright laws, I encourage all who
want to try their hand at creating Seminole
patchwork to obtain a copy of the book. It is still
available at various online sites. . We have 13
signed up so far for the workshop. Please call,
email, or let Cindy know by the May meeting if
you are interested. THANKS!

Pat Smith passed out the "Challenge" fabric at
the March meeting for those who want to
participate. We will be making a "Quilt of Valor"
this time. The ideal size is 60 X 80. It can be no
smaller than 55 X 65 and no larger than 72 X 90
according to official QOV requirements. It is due
at the August meeting.
Cheese Bread sticks
1 (10 oz.) can pizza dough
3 Tablespoons butter, melted
1 clove finely minced garlic
1 cup mozzarella grated cheese
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon dried basil
garlic salt
Preheat the oven to 425. Mix the melted butter and minced garlic in a
small bowl and set aside. Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the pizza dough onto the parchment paper and brush with the butter/garlic mixture.
Sprinkle cheeses and basil evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips horizontally and then down the middle vertically.
(Don't separate pieces!) Bake 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and
cookie sheet. Re-cut along each strip.
Serve warm.
