COTTON
PATCH QUILT GUILD
Regular
Meeting, November 21, 2002
Kavanaugh
Methodist Church, 6:30 pm
Huey Nobles presided as thirty-four
members and four guests gathered at Kavanaugh United Methodist Church on
November 21, 2002. We welcomed Kay Hatfield, Amon Nixson (who's already an
unofficial member), Janice Tower and Linda Franklin.
BUSINESS
Betty Day announced that the first butterfly quilt is being hand
quilted by the guild and will be awarded in May. The second one will go to
a hand quilter in Plano.
Alice Cooney collected the write-ups for the items that will be
displayed in December.
Anyone who would like to go to the March 6-9 retreat at Eufaula
should contact Sue Childers or Jane Martyn. Plan to bring one pretty and
one ugly fat quarter.
Jane reminded the Strippers to wear their hats to the December
circle meeting and to remember that Secret Pals will be revealed.
Hurrah! Sherry Worley and Huey uncovered some long-lost goodies
when they tackled the storage closet. Chief treasure was the guild banner
that hadn't been seen since we moved from the museum to the church!
Pam Hodapp reminded all that the December meeting is the THIRD
Thursday. Newsletter deadline is Dec. 9.
Pebble Rehm announced that we will each need a large-eyed needle -
large enough for crotchet thread - at the December meeting. Those
participating in the gift exchange should limit the gift to $5.00 or
handmade. Pebble also announced that she is working on another Mystery
Quilt, to begin in January. Those taking part will pay $5.00 for the
instructions. Pebble has booked Jack Sheets, the sewing machine repair
guru, for two workshops, Feb. 22 and March 22 at the church. Each session
is limited to 15; the cost is $20.00. If interested, contact Pebble with a
check.
The business meeting was followed by Show and Tell.
PROGRAM
Katharine McCaw presented a slide show of quilts from the DAR collection
in Washington, DC. The items (not all were true quilts) represented three
categories: one-piece, pieced, and appliqué, and covered the years from
1720 to late 19th century. Several were made from fabrics not in use today
and others were quilted with hand spun thread. It's amazing that such
works of art could be made without the benefits of rotary cutters,
computerized sewing machines and Ott lights. Aren't we Blessed!
Following the program, door prizes were given out.
Respectfully,
Katharine McCaw, Recording Secretary
The
F.I.S.H. Food Pantry is in desperate need of canned goods. They would also
appreciate monetary donations. Please help if you can. Thank you.

Blossoms
The
Cotton Blossoms have taken a break from new projects to give our members a
chance to catch up on things already started. A road trip is planned for
the 10th for lunch out, and then a trip to Celeste to check out the new
quilt store. Our Christmas party will be on the 16th at the church in
Commerce. We are looking forward to the new year, and we wish everybody a
Merry Christmas and Happy Quilting.
Cotton
Strippers
The November meeting was not held due to Retreat. For
the December meeting:
1. Please remember your Secret Pal. You will get to
find out who it is. If you are not able to attend, please make every
effort to get your gift to the meeting ahead of time. Sign up for 2003
Secret Pals at the December meeting.
2. We will discuss our next project for 2003. Kay, Sue
and Lisa are working on plans for a row-by-row quilt and will have ideas
so we can get started at the January meeting.
3. Bring to the December meeting: 1 ugly fat quarter
and 1 beautiful fat quarter. This will be a meeting you don’t want to
miss.
4. Wear your Stripper hat. Those NOT wearing a hat
will be in for a very special surprise.
December 11 is Solid Rock at the church building.
Everyone should be participating and Katharine will be calling you to
remind you to bring your dish. March retreat signup in now in progress.
Give you check to Jane or Sue if you plan to attend. The dates are March
6-9.
Refreshments will be brought by everyone. Happy
holidays!
Sunbonnet Sues
The November meeting was held at the home of Katharine McCaw. After a
delicious meal of beef stew and cornbread, members talked about their trip
to Houston and made plans for the 2003 meetings. Pebble scheduled her
meeting for the first part of February. More information to come on that
at the December meeting.
The December meeting was held at the home of Sara Bobbitt. It was
Sara's Birthday and Maxine brought a cake which was totally enjoyed as
were the refreshments served by Sara. Nine members were present. Donna and
Jane are both recovering from a cold and
Joan is taking care of her Mom. We all wish her our best. We worked on our
own projects and discussed some future projects. We had a talk about how
wonderful our grandchildren were and decided they were all just the
greatest. Maxine had pictures of her newest great grandson and he is
beautiful.
The January meeting place is
still to be determined.
Thank
You! Thank You! Thank You!
I would like to thank you for my
gift. It will be wisely used to have a quilt done in the near future and
meanwhile will be in my quilting stash.
I wish to thank everyone for all the help given to make our latest Retreat
a total success. We had a grand time, saw lots of deer, ducks and other
wildlife. The armadillos were in hiding, oh woe is me! They were probably
off pouting because Katharine was not able to come and see them. Every
year at Eufaula just seems to get better, thanks to all the Captains that
know and do their jobs so well. Thank you, Connie, for my Crown. A Queen
needs a Crown and I will wear mine proudly. Thanks to Johnny's for the
generous door prizes. Lots of projects were completed and Alice should be
seeing some in her December challenge.
Sign-up for Spring Retreat is in progress. Spring Retreat will be March
6,7,8, 9 and Fall Retreat will be November 13,14 15, &16. Mark these
dates in your calendar. Cost will be $30 for 3 days and $45 for the four
days. Hope to see you there.
Thanks,
Sue

Happy
Holidays, to you all! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It’s
time to get ready for the upcoming Christmas season. The weather here is
getting cooler which helps us all get in the holiday spirit!
Thanks to all who came to the Open Houses and North Garland High School
show. The turnout was much less than expected, but all who stopped by my
booth went away with smiles and great candles! Congratulations to Jennifer
Holland of Rowlett and Susan Stooksberry of Sachse as winners of a free
candle in November! I also had an office party that was a BIG hit! It just
doesn’t get any more convenient than to shop during your lunch hour
without leaving the office!! Check my website (www.timberlinemoon.com) for
upcoming events in Rowlett and Garland during December. Candles make great
gifts for those on your holiday gift lists and you know I have a fragrance
for just about everyone. Remember, the Holiday fragrances are only
available for a limited time and time is running out to order in time for
Christmas. December 9 is the last day to order to receive in time so call
me soon!
I wish you all a safe and loving holiday. Please remember those less
fortunate and those who will not be able to be home for Christmas in your
hearts and prayers. Deck those halls, y’all!!
Timberline Moon—Tracy Greenlee
Happy
Holidays to Everyone!
Best
wishes for a wonderful New Year !!
