impossible not to learn more about our craft as well as learn more about one another.

The act of gathering together for a common cause – creating quilts to distribute to those

in need of comfort – is a longstanding tradition amongst quilters. I hope to see a lot of

eager quilters at the February meeting…becoming and staying involved with the Guild is

The Sew Day is Coming!!

The Sew Day is Coming!!

February 2,

2016

Remember the charity sew day? Well, it's coming. Just around the corner. Bring your sewing ma-

chine, basic sewing supplies, and good humor. I will have a pot load of things to sew. It will be a bit

different this year. I will be bringing about 40 quilts that will need binding. Yes, I've been fooling

around on my long arm... Done on the machine, these should go really fast. I also have perhaps 25

small quilts to be quilted. These can be pillow-cased and quilted in nothing flat. Oh. Did I men-

tion you should bring your walking foot?

And then of course I'll bring a truck load of kits for piecing. If you have any kits in your workroom

that haven't been finished, please bring them and get that project out of your hair. There's no rule

you have to take a NEW kit to sew on.

Your board will be bringing soups and salads for lunch. I suspect there will be some snack type stuff

as well. We have to be out of the church by 3:00 so plan on staying until mid afternoon. And yes,

there will be door prizes throughout the day.....

Exploring New Territory with Seminole Strips will be presented by Marge

Banks. Marge is a art quilter from Lawrence and has developed tech-

niques based on Seminole Patchwork. She assembles the traditional

patterns in non-traditional ways using non-traditional fabrics – rich

batiks. Her background of sewing since she was a child and her colle-

giate studio work in painting prompted her to “paint with fabric.”

Kansas City Star Qui l ts

Not that I don’t have enough to do, but I was looking forward to the Sunday paper this last weekend. Janu-

ary always meant a new quilt and this year I was hoping for a quilt that I would like and I would make one

block at a time. My mom has collected the quilt blocks from the Kansas City Star for years. In the most

recent history, the quilt block was in the paper on the third Sunday of the month.

Imagine my disappointment when I didn’t find the quilt block. So I waited until Monday so that I could call.

No less than five phone calls and talking to as many representatives, I finally got an answer. I spoke with

Kathy Lu, who is the Features Editor. When I asked about the quilt block, she responded “we didn’t know

how many people were really interested,” so the paper has decided not to publish the Star Quilt. From

what she told me, it sounds like this is a permanent decision. There were also staff issues involved in the

decision.

I was also told that I was the first and only person that had called to ask about the quilt. Surely, my mom

and I are not the only ones that were interested in the Star Quilt. If you would like to call and voice your

disappointment about their decision, call 816-234-4900. Ask to speak to Kathy Lu, Features Editor or Cin-

dy Gregorian, House and Home Editor. Please pass this information on to anyone that you think would

like to see the Star reverse their decision.

The Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival is announcing a Challenge for the 2017 Festival. We

will be picking 2 quilts to showcase in the plexi-glass entryway. Round up your quilting bud-

dies, or just yourself, and show us what your creative minds can do! Here are the require-

ments.......

1. Must be 83 x 83 inches to fit in the prefabricated plexi-glass display for the entry/archway

into the show—no wiggle room!

2. The quilt has to include and be limited to the colors in the KCRQF logo----lime/bright

green, sunshine yellow, white, black, royal blue, raspberry - look to the logo for a more ac-

curate depiction of those color values/tonalities. Ask your KCRQF Rep for examples or go

to www.kcrqf.com

3. Must have a hanging sleeve & label.

4. Will be due the beginning April of 2017 (the showcase committee will finalize this date)

5. Who can enter? Must be a member of a KCRQF Participating Guild - can be completed by

an individual member or a group of members.

6. Theme/technique/style - open to the artist, just needs to be bright!

7. Hope to have 2 in the plexi-glass and then "non-winners" in a Special Collection viewing

area.

8. There will be a prize - a voucher to shop the vendors.

items and dishes, if needed. We have some kitchen utensils/knifes and pans. You are always welcome to

Bake pie for 1 hour at 375 degrees, covering

the edge of the crust with foil if it starts to

brown too quickly. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup pecans

over the top and bake 5 minutes longer.

Remove the pie from the oven and pour the

caramel topping over the top. Us as much cara-

mel as you like.

Even though this is a Quilter’s Guild,

anytime you get a group of women together, you’re going to have some good cooks.

SO……... when you bring something for your birthday, or you just have a great recipe

to share, send it to me and I’ll publish it in the newsletter.
