Mystery
Quilt
I will unveil
the first of three patterns (one each month) starting at the April guild
meeting. The blocks are only 9 inches finished. The finished quilt size is
54X54 with doing one 12 block exchange. There is a second quilt pattern also
presented at the end that is 72X72 or even a little larger if a person wants
to do a second 12 block exchange or add more blocks themselves.

Methodist Church, 6:30 p.m.
BUSINESS
The Cotton Patch Quilt Guild welcomed 41 members and four guests to the
March 28, 2002 meeting at Kavanaugh United Methodist Church in Greenville.
Huey Nobles presided. A special welcome to new members, Pat Jonz, Susan
James and Mary Lambert Smith. Treasurer, Connie Cawthon, reported a balance
of $2,885.19. Sherry Worley has provided quilt kits and asked that members
complete the quilts as a community service project. As an incentive, some of
the kits contain gift certificates from Quilts on the Square. Sherry also
announced a clearance price of $10.00 or 3/$25.00 on the Plano Guild
cookbook.
The Red, White and Blue Challenge entry forms are due at the April meeting;
projects are due at the May meeting. They will then be displayed at Quilts
on the Square. Beth Winn and Shirley Shaw showed the king-sized donation
quilt they have made for the Shriners. Jane Martyn announced that the
committee to study pros and cons of incorporation has met and will report to
the guild soon. Barbara Booth reminded the guild of the quilt show to be
held at the armory in Terrell April 20 and 21. Business was concluded with
Show and Tell and drawings for Door Prizes.
PROGRAM
Kay Colcleasure introduced our speaker, Carol Chaffin, and her daughter,
Adrienne, who presented a program on Seminole patchwork piecing. Chaffin
began by providing a historical background of the technique, the Native
American origins in Florida and journey across the Trail of Tears into
Oklahoma. Headquarters and museum are now located in Weewoka, OK. She then
demonstrated the distinctive strip piecing that produces such unique and
colorful patterns, and displayed wonderful applications on jackets, towels,
T-shirts and quilts.
The meeting on April 25 will feature Jenna Oke presenting "Blue Square
and the Bed".
Respectfully,
Katharine McCaw, Recording Secretary
Cotton
Belles
The Cotton Belles met in the home of Bernice Tipton. The members were
reminded that the Red, White and Blue guild challenge forms are to be turned
in at the May meeting of the Greenville Quilt Guild. The members worked on
Snowman candy jars to be donated to the F.I.S.H. Ministries bazaar. The next
meeting, May 6, will be held at Walworth Harrison Library. We will meet at
9:30 in the library. Carol Taylor will conduct a tour of the library and
present a program on genealogy
Cotton
Blossoms
A
group of Blossoms braved the rainy weather for an all day workday on March
18. We didn't let the rain dampen our spirits as we worked on various
projects and visited with each day. It was a fun and productive day. We met
again on April 1 for a regular meeting. Each member brought two ugly fat
quarters and we exchanged and each member will make two blocks and then we
will put them together for a quilt. We meet again on April 15 for a
refresher course on stack and whack presented by Joyce McCord.
Cotton
Strippers
The Strippers met April 11 with 2 guests present. The food provided
was great and after everyone had a nice, long visit, our unofficial dictator
called the meeting to order. Guests were introduced. Katharine reminded
members about the July retreat. If you haven’t paid please get your money
in. The limit of people at the retreat will be 25. Those dates are July
18-20 and only dinner will be provided. The refreshments for May will be
provided by Joy, Debbie, Mary Lou, Sara, Joan and Vicki. Show and tell
followed and then the Border Bash girls showed off their quilts.
Sunbonnet
Sues
The members of the
Sunbonnet Sues met at the home of Kathy Vestal. The next meeting will be
held at the home of Maejean with a trip to the mountain the next day for
those that are able to go.
MISCELLANEOUS
This year we're doing a different challenge. Choose any project, UFO or
start something new. In December we'll all bring our FINISHED projects to
guild and have our very own quilt show! Imagine eating dinner surrounded by
quilts. By the November meeting I'll need something jotted down about your
project--why you made it, if it was hard, etc. There will be a good surprise
for everyone that brings something! Remember, the quilt should be unseen by
the guild prior to the December meeting.
