What did I get myself into? I thought that by now I would be asking myself what in the world I was thinking when I put my name down on that clipboard asking for CCQ Board volunteers! But instead, my first few weeks have been interesting, provocative and lively, and I have had no regrets. I want to thank all of you who have offered to help in a hundred different ways, and all of you who have called to give me the "back story" and history on com-plicated issues. Your input and suggestions are es-sential to the success of the Guild and I thank you all. What I am pretty sure I got myself into is an amazing group of women (and a couple of men) with a shared passion for fabric, sewing, quilting, design, and a singular interest in learning about, sharing, preserving and protecting this very special, very American craft. There is more we have in common than that which we
see differently. My promise is that we will build on the Guild's history and look for opportunities to grow in reasonable and important ways. Like any democracy, not all votes will go your way, but I promise to always hear you out. And like any endeavor of this kind, we will become the by-product of both what you "deposit" and what you "withdraw", so don't be surprised if I keep making eye-contact with YOU when we need partners for an event or an activity. Your part can be as basic as coming to each meeting with a smile, your joy, and a show-and-tell item… or… your part can be as complex and vigorous as you decide!
This month's thought… What is My Gift to My Guild?
Gail Wax, President
From Our Vice Presidents
Annette Kennedy, from Longmont Colorado, will be the program meeting speaker on April 9. Her lecture is “The Making of a Quilt: From Photo through Paint.” Annette describes herself as an avid amateur photographer with a love of fabric and color. She creates landscapes and pictorial art quilts from her personally taken photographs. Annette uses a variety of techniques in constructing her quilts from various types of applique to machine piecing and quilting. She paints on her quilts to add detail, texture and depth. A number of our members will be taking a workshop, “Painted Hibiscus” from Annette on April 8. They will be learning some easy “controlled hand-painting” techniques. The class is full. Judy and I plan to have the program calendar for this year 2013-14 completed shortly. Please feel free to contact either of us by phone or e-mail if you have any suggestions for programs, as we will be working over the next few months to schedule the 2014-15 programs. The challenge for Hot August Nights will be announced at the April program meeting.

Warm Wrappings
National Quilter's Day was a big success. We had 19 members attend. Each made a choice to sew on the sport-theme Attic-window kit or other kits that were provided. Several kits went home to be finished up, and two quilt tops were completed. During lunch at our March 6th Warm Wrappings meeting, we used the TV available for our use to view our Quilt Show DVD. At the April meeting we plan to have an instructional tape to view, courtesy of Cheryl Hall. We are in need of quilters to quilt the completed tops. There will be several projects that include the top, back, batting & binding at each meeting starting in April. Nothing fancy is needed. Use simple straight line stitching, or perhaps those special stitches you never use on your home sewing machines. Another good way is to tie the quilt. Any assistance will help us make our target of 100 or more quilts this year. If you don't want to do the binding, other members like to do that task. Return the quilted top to Lila or Paddy and we will pass it on to the "Binders". Meetings are held at the Orangeburg Ave. Baptist Church, between McHenry and Sunrise. Meeting
time: 10-2, bring a lunch and beverage for our noon time break. Next meetings will be on April 3, May 1, June 5, July 3, mark your calendar! Happy Stitching! Paddy Shopher and Lila Bradshaw

Program Meeting Minutes March 12, 2013
Meeting was called to order at 7:00 by Sue Schlange.
Outgoing officers and chairs were introduced by
Yvonne Jones, and she presented each with a thank
you gift, a cell phone holder. She then turned over the
gavel to Gail Wax, who introduced the new officers
and chairs.
Gail said one of her duties was to schedule Short
Subject for the business meetings so she started a
sign-up sheet asking for volunteers.
Linda Cover gave us an update for the Ricky Tims
Super Seminar, February 6-8, 2014. She told us that
the DoubleTree had set aside some of their rooms for
the use of the attendees, and that Ricky had made
arrangements for pre-paid parking in the lot.
Linda also told us that Bart Cubbage would be at her
home Wednesday and Thursday to service sewing
machines.
Margaret Wolfe gave us an update on the Healdsburg
retreat. She said there were enough participants to
meet the minimum, but that there were still eight
places available. She also told us that there were no
buses available for the Shop Hop this year, but that
she had reserved the last available bus for PIQF. She
asked if the Guild members would be interested in
having a Shop Hop bus for 2014, and there appeared
to be enough interest for her to go forward on this.
Members were reminded that membership renewal is
now due, that applications for the Terry Kendrick
Memorial Scholarship could be completed, and that if
they wished to be in the running for one of the $75
scholarships, they should write their name on a slip of
paper to go in the basket being passed around.
Delores Miller suggested that we consider six $100
scholarships for the Ricky Tims Super Seminar in
place of the usual Terry Kendrick Scholarship. This
was tabled until the Business meeting.
Star Strahle reminded us that the theme for March's
Fat Quarter Lotto is polka dots, and that the FQ's
should be brought to the next meeting.
Gail then told us that she works a 10-hour, 5-day a
week job, and often takes work home as well. In view
of this, she encouraged us not to call her Monday
through Friday evening if we expected a coherent
conversation. E-mails would be okay, as she can
answer them at a time better for her. She also said
she wants to help all members grow, both as
individuals and as a team. She realizes that we need
more participants and fewer onlookers if this is to
happen, and will encourage us to participate. She
also told us that she will be making her own quilt, and
that she is looking for items to go on it. The theme will
be garden, so she is looking for leaves, flowers, bugs,
etc. to go on it. She is completely expecting to receive
things that didn't work for us.
Judy Martin, Vice-President, then introduced Patricia
Beavers, who is a lecturer, teacher and judge. We
were then thoroughly entertained by Patricia. Patricia
included events of her life that had set her down the
road of quilting, and how she tried several quilt guilds
before she found one that fit. The one that fit
welcomed her warmly, and she encouraged us to do
the same thing for our new members. She said she
labels all of her quilts, not only saying why she made
it, but also to whom it should be given when she
goes. When she served as President of her guild,
they gave her blocks made by the members, and the
person presenting the blocks very quietly told her that
the "less perfect" blocks could go on the back.
Patricia was disturbed by that as she felt that
members would be hurt if their blocks were on the
back, and made two quilts, both lovely. One was
exclusively the "less perfect" blocks. She told us that
she took lots of workshops, and that each one helped
her to grow, and that they would help us, too. Last,
she told us "Quilting is cheaper than therapy!"
Lila then presented March's Block of the Month, and
told us that our Color Challenge Quilts had been
accepted for PIQF 2014, as 2013 was already filled.
She then presented Yvonne with her President's quilt.
Michele Stoumbaugh then had the Secret Pal reveal,
and encouraged us to participate in this fun activity.

Quilts of Honor Special Presentation
Our program meeting on July 9th will be a presenta-
tion of Quilts of Honor to veterans who are related or
friends of our own members. If you would like to
honor a veteran on that night, please call Marilee
Heaston so their name can be added to our list. If
you would like to make the quilt for your veteran, that
would be great, just let us know. Gail Belmont of
Quilts of Honor will be our guest speaker that
evening, and she will be making the presentations.
On another note, she is soliciting quilts for a quilt
show at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in
Washington, D.C., on October, 2013. The quilts are
to be done in red, white and blue or the Marine colors
of red, black and gold. The size limitations are as fol-
lows: 50"x60", 55"x65", 57"x67" or 60"x70".
Contact Marilee for the rest of the parameters and
deadline dates.
If you are unable to make a quilt for Quilts of Honor,
either for the Museum show, or our own presentation,
or to add to the Q of H collection, but would like to
make a monetary donation to help Gail replace her
computer machine, contact Marilee for Gail's contact
information or go to www.quiltsofhonor.org.
Healdsburg Retreat, September, 2013
A 5 day/4 night retreat is being planned for Sept 15 -

possible. The cost will be $460, double occupancy.
Meals, lodging and snacks are included. You may

Business Meeting Minutes March 26, 2013
The March 26th business meeting was called to order at 7:04 PM by President Gail Wax. New members and guests were introduced. Sign-up sheets for the April 8th workshop to be taught by Annette Kennedy, and for the Quilts of Honor were circulated. President Gail asked for volunteers to present short subjects at the business meetings. If you are interested, please contact her. The minutes were approved as published.
The treasurer presented the March report. The 2013-14 budget was presented. It was moved and seconded that the budget be approved as presented. The motion carried.
Old business:
Scholarships: Members were given their final opportunity to sign ups for the four $75.00 scholarships. Revisions to the scholarship program were suggested. One recommendation is to divide the Kendrick scholarship among a number of members for this year to help pay for the Ricky Tims seminar. Another was to add additional scholarships to the budget this year for this purpose. President Gail Wax reported that a scholarship committee meeting would be convened to review the scholarship program. After reviewing the suggested revisions to the scholarship criteria and others, they will make recommendations to the membership. She asked that anyone interested in serving on this committee contact her.
New business and Announcements:
The San Jose Quilt Museum of Quilts and Textiles is featuring Folk Indian Textiles. In May they will feature Baby Carriers from China, followed by New York Beauty quilts from July to October.
West Coast Mennonite Sale and Auction will be held in Fresno, on April 3-6, including a quilt and afghan sale on Sat.
May 18: Quilting in the Pines Quilt show in Pine Mountain
A thank you note was received from Generation to Generation Heirlooms and from Sylvia Hill complimenting the guild on the lovely quilt show. Sylvia loved the Doors of Modesto challenge.
The $75 scholarship winners were drawn. The winners are: Karen Turner, Paddy Shopher, Angie Gohn, and Teri Harman. Each will receive a $75.00 scholarship.
Reports:
Vice-presidents: Kathy Sandner presented information on the April workshop and program to be presented by Annette Kennedy.

Membership: Mary Giventer reported that 48 members were in attendance. She stated that applications for the Teri Kendrick scholarship are available from her and on the website. Membership dues should be paid this month.
Hospitality: Star Strahle asked that members not go into the kitchen due to the health requirements. People working in the kitchen need to receive training. She asked for volunteers to help with Hot August Nights.

Small Groups: Suzanne Guthrie reported on the small group meetings for March and that a new small group is being formed. Contact her for information.

Block of the Month: No report
Secret Pals: Michele Stoumbaugh asked for sign ups for secret pals.
Library: Bernie Thomas reported that the library has been reorganized and showed the book: Creative Quilts, Crayon Box Book.
Ricky Tims Seminar 2014 The hall is booked and the details are being finalized
for the Ricky Tims Super Seminar It will be at the
Modesto Centre Plaza, February 6-8, 2014 The
contract is signed and we are proceeding with the
next step, which is getting the information out to
everyone within a 300 mile radius that Ricky is
coming to Modesto.
We are working with the Modesto Convention and
Visitors Bureau to see what discounts may be
available for hotels, restaurants, etc. The good news
is that parking will be free in the lot adjacent to the
Centre Plaza for early registrants. The DoubleTree/
Hilton Hotel has set aside a group of rooms at a
special rate for the Seminar also.
The registration forms for the Seminars to be held in
2014 are going to be different than in the past, and
are not yet posted on Ricky’s website. Instead of
groups registering together to receive a discounted
rate as in the past, registrations will now be done
individually and online, and those registering early will
receive a discounted fee. Details to be available
soon.
I know you have picked up on my enthusiasm for this
event, but if you are still unfamiliar with who Ricky is
and what all this fuss is about, I invite you to visit
Ricky’s website, www.rickytims.com, and click on
Seminars and watch his 4 minute video to see for
yourself. I know you won’t be disappointed.
