Program Change for the January Meeting

2012-01-19T08:03:00.000-05:00

Beth Notaro and Debbie Smith will be presenting their programs in January and February. Debbie Smith will now do hers in January and Beth in February due to a scheduling conflict. Both should be awesome and we are looking forward to our own members presenting at our Quilt Guild meeting.

National Quilting Day 20th Anniversary

2012-01-19T08:01:00.000-05:00

Celebrate National Quilting Day in some way. This year is the 20th Anniversary of this special day. The first National Quilting Day was celebrated in 1992. No matter what your plans--sharing quilting with others or setting aside the day for quilting activities--CELEBRATE and spread the love of quilting. (from Quilting Quarterly--Journal of the National Quilting Association, Inc.)

Get Ready for Our 2013 Quilt Show

2012-01-13T22:30:00.000-05:00

KPQG Members: Start thinking about your quilts you will be entering in the 2013 Quilt Show. Time passes by quickly. Don't forget, it takes time to have your quilts quilted:-) Our quilters can't do all the work in a short time. You might also think about items that can be put into the silent auction. It is never too early to start planning.

QUILT SHOW--2013

2012-01-12T07:08:00.000-05:00

Can you believe Betty Shackelford has all her Quilt Show Chairmen and starts meeting with them this month!! They work hard and long to plan and put on our quilt shows.

Block-Of-The-Month

2012-01-12T07:05:00.001-05:00

Debbie Smith has exciting news. Besides a new Granddaughter, she has decided on our Block-of-the-Month. She will be presenting information in January on what her plans are and what fabric you will need so bring your $1 to the February meeting and get started. It is $1 all year long as long as you finish each month's block and show Debbie.

2012--A NEW QUILT YEAR

2012-01-12T07:00:00.002-05:00

We will be starting 2012--January 24th meeting--in a new location. We will be meeting at the UAW Local 685 Chrysler Union Hall at 929 E. Hoffer Street in Kokomo, Indiana. You will park in the back and come in the west door. Because of not knowing exactly how things will be arranged, the Board Members will come at 6:00 pm. The meeting will remain at 7:00 pm. However, we have a new feature. If you wish to come and observe, Maggie Fellow will have a "Maggie's Corner" where she will demonstrate a different technique each month. This will be at 6:30 pm. If you have suggestions on something you would like demonstrated, talk with Maggie. January's technique will be Stack and Slash.

January's Program will be presented by a fellow quilt member--Beth Notaro.

Don't forget, dues will be $30 for this year.

Community Outreach Requests

2012-01-11T10:57:00.003-05:00

Debbie McFall is our Community Outreach Chairman this year. She has three things for you to think about before our January 24th meeting--

I wanted to let everyone know about a couple of things to think about before our meeting this month.

First, we will once again be representing our guild at the 6th Winter Woolen Workshop on Saturday, February 25 (9AM to 6PM) and Sunday, February 26 (11AM to 5PM). I will have a sign up sheet for those wanting to help, and more info at the meeting.

Second, we have been asked by the Marion guild to participate in their quilt show at the Quilters Hall of Fame Celebration. It will be held July 19,20 and 21. They will let us have space for 20 queen size quilts to hang within their show. They ask that the quilts be Eleanor Burns influenced, as she is the inductee this year. The quilt can be one that is made from one of her books, one made using one of her techniques or rulers, etc. However, they need someone from our guild to help hang, take down and at least 1 person to white glove while the show is going on. I believe we can get enough quilts, but need for you let me know right away if you would be willing to work. If we can't supply them with enough workers, I will let them know that we will have to pass. The hours are: July 19 and 20--9AM to 5PM and July 21--9AM to 4PM. Just as with our show, you are required to pay 5 dollars even though you are working.

Last, if anyone has ideas about what you would like for us to do this year for our service project, please let me know so we can make our decision early. See you the 24th at the meeting.

Labels for Urban Outreach Quilts

2009-11-04T09:01:00.003-05:00

Don't forget to sew on a label on your quilts that you are quilting for our project--Urban Outreach. Since we will be presenting quilts directly to Pastor Jeff Newton at the November meeting, Carol will not have an opportunity to put labels on the quilts. If you do not have one of the Quilt Guild labels, make a simple one yourself and attach it. Thanks so much.

Project Quilts for Urban Outreach

2009-11-04T08:55:00.002-05:00

Have you completed your project quilt for Urban Outreach? If not, keep in mind that donating a quilt to one of the children from the Urban Outreach community could change their life. This is not a required project, but we would like to encourage you to make a quilt or donate a book or donate a book when you quilt a quilt. This is especially important in our commuity at this time with the unemployment rate so high. These children, many times, do not have the opportunities your children and you may have. Quilts are given to the children of those parents completing a parenting class. These parents attend the class and at the same time the children attend some classes. Attendance is required. Be Thankful for all your blessings and also thankful for the opportunity to help make someone else's life happier. Have a great week.
