| Dear CPQG Member,
This month is a time for all of us to reflect on what has happened to
us, our families, our friends, and our country. A lot has happened since
that frightful day last year. The lives and outlook of each person around
the globe has been greatly affected. We have given, with open arms and
hearts, our time, our special talents, and our resources to our neighbors,
both near and far. Take a little time this month to do something a little
special for someone that requires a little help to make it through another
day.

Guest
Speaker: Terri Vogds
"Strip-Pieced
&
Quick-Cut"
Terri
Vogds, from Denton, has developed a fast and fun way to make Easy Twist
frames to accent your quilt blocks. She will show you, using this easy
method, how to strip-piece twisted frames for 4", 6", 8",
10" & 12" finished blocks using her specially designed Easy
Twist cutting template. You can frame pieced, appliquéd or fussy cut blocks
faster than you can cut and sew using traditional
methods.

COTTON
PATCH QUILT GUILD
Regular
Meeting, August 22, 2002 Kavanaugh Methodist Church, 6:30 pm
PROGRAM
Forty members and two guests
attended the August 22 meeting of the Cotton Patch Quilt Guild at Kavanaugh
United Methodist Church in Greenville. Welcome to Lee Thomas and Debbie
George. We hope you'll join us again!
Pebble Rehm introduced the speaker for the evening, Lisa Erlander, who
entertained and enlightened us with "You
Paid HOW Much For That Quilt?" We learned the difference between value
and price, as well as the determining factors in setting value. Number 1 is
Condition, followed by Availability (to replace), Design (original?),
Workmanship, Historical Interest and Age. Prior to the meeting, Lisa had
privately appraised quilts for Jane Martyn, Norlyn Quinn, Mary Lou Strohm,
Barbara Ratcliff and Allen Day.
BUSINESS
Sherry Worley and the Cotton Belles set up a raffle project consisting of
several hundred dollars worth of quilting supplies. Kay Colcleasure was the
lucky winner. All proceeds will be used to buy supplies for future community
service projects.
The Seminole Patchwork workshop will be this Saturday, August 24, at the
church.
Betty Day distributed tickets for the Butterfly donation quilt.
Door prizes were won by: Ginny Keith, Lisa Erlander, Joan Biggs, Donna Moon,
Beth Winn, Maxine Leverett, Kay Colcleasure, Sue Miller, Debra Hager, Jane
Martyn, Gladys Trammel and Pat Jonz.
It was good to hear that Doris McManus is home from the hospital and doing
well after having knee replacement.
Following Show and Tell, the meeting was adjourned.
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.
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.

FRIENDSHIP
CIRCLES
Cotton
Belles
We had to
change our meeting until September 16.
Cotton Blossoms
Cotton
Blossom Quilt Circle news for September newsletter:
The Cotton
Blossoms Review, Review. August 19th the circle met and heard 3 magazine
reviews. Helen Rowe reviewed Quilt World, May 2001, Madeline Sullivan
reviewed Quick & Easy, June 2002 and Lorene Leinart, McCall’s
Quilting, Feb. 1999. This was enjoyable. We heard things we had missed while
perusing our own issues, or maybe we had not had the chance to even read
these particular magazines.
For Show
& Tell members brought completed Slap Happy Stars and Norlyn showed a
pillow case and a Yellow Brick Road quilt made for great nieces. Lorene
shared progress she and Joyce had made on squares from the book Stack &
Wackier.
It was
decided to take our Quillos to Boles Home on Sept. 24th and all
Mickey D quilts are due September 16.
Joyce told
us about a Blade Exchange with L.P. Sharp Co. Next meeting everyone will
bring their old rotary blades and they will be sent in together.
The
Blossoms met again on Labor Day for a day of labor. We met early and helped
each other pin baste quillos and a couple UFO's. Show and tells were
enjoyed. Instructions for a mystery project were passed out. This project
will begin at our next meeting Sept. 16.
Cotton
Strippers
Only 16
Cotton Strippers met at the Church building on Thursday night. Several
members had gone to the Springfield, Missouri quilt show. New member Tracy
Greenlee joined the group and a good time was had by all working on
individual projects. Thanks to Annette, Anna, Roberta, Elaine, Sara and Maki
for the wonderful dinner, salad and desserts. A vote was taken not to bring
soft drinks for our meals. We will live with tea and water for now. Also,
members were encouraged to think about what they would like to do for the
Christmas party (is that coming up already?) or another round robin or block
exchange starting in January. Sue gave a retreat update. The Fall
Retreat is now open to non-members. There are approximately 30 people going
which is less than normal so we might have to cough up a few extra bucks
before that weekend is over. The Strippers have a balance of $279 in their
account. It was decided that we did not need an audit of Sara’s
bookkeeping. Remember your secret pal.
Refreshments
for October will be hosted by Kay, Maejean, and Paula who will provide
dessert and salad as we will order pizza. We will postpone playing Quilt-O
until the December Christmas party.
Sunbonnet Sues
The
Sue’s met at the quilt studio of Joan Biggs. Everyone had a wonderful time
and enjoyed looking at Donna’s snowman quilt on the big machine. Everyone
did a good job of not talking about Jane’s surprise birthday party! Joan
had even made Jane’s favorite dessert from the Pampered Chef party which
everyone enjoyed.. Plans were made for the trip to Springfield, Missouri
show. The next meeting will be at Jane’s house where logistics will be
discussed for the Houston quilt festival. Don’t forget to get your deposit
to Jane by the end of the month.
Note
to the Membership
If
it wouldn't be a problem, please do not wear heavy perfumes to Guild.
Several of our members are highly allergic. Thanks!
