President’s Letter
Dear CPQG Member,
Time has literally flown by these last two years. I am thrilled and amazed
every day how much you as a group of talented and unselfish people have grown
together. It has been an honor and pleasure to be allowed to represent all of
you and the organization. I know you will give the new board the same
dedication, time, and personal care that you gave me. I want to apologize for
not being able to be there for the January Guild meeting, but I will be in
Dallas for some lab work. Thank all of you that have helped me during this time
and I will see you soon.
Huey Nobles
Speaker:
Officer Crawford
"Women’s
Safety"
Officer
Crawford is a member of the Greenville Police Department. She is coming to speak
to us about women’s safety, with regard to such things as being aware of your
surroundings in a parking lot, in a shopping mall or even in your own home.

Executive
Board Meeting of the Cotton Patch Quilt Guild
The
combined (2002 and 2003) Executive Board meeting of the Cotton Patch Quilt Guild
met at Cracker Barrel Restaurant, Greenville, Texas, at 6:00 p.m., January 6,
2003. Incoming president, Katharine McCaw presided at the meeting. Board members
present were Carolyn Burt (2003), Connie Cawthon (2002, 2003), Sue Childers
(2003), Tracy Greenlee (2003), Pam Hodapp (2002, 2003), McCaw (2002, 2003), and
Pebble Rehm (2002, 2003). Concerns for President Huey Nobles were expressed by
the group. Nobles is meeting the challenge of vision problems at the present
time. The following items were included in the business agenda. Annual
reports from the 2002 Executive Board were presented and will be filed as a part
of the Guild’s records.
Officers’
responsibilities and duties were reviewed by McCaw. An ad hoc committee of
three will be appointed to audit the books by January 31, 2003. Quarterly Board
meetings will be held preceding the Newsletter deadline in April, July, October,
and January (combined). A survey
form will be included with the Directory information form to be filled out when
dues are paid. It was recommended to seek paid advertising to offset the price
of the Directory. Dues are payable now. After February 28, 2003, those who have
not paid dues will have their names removed from the roster and will receive no
newsletter or Directory. Dues are $24 and your check should be sent to Pam
Hodapp or brought to the January or February meeting. By-laws have not been
updated in five years. An ad hoc committee will be appointed to make revisions
which will be submitted for approval at the April meeting. A Sunshine Committee
will be appointed. Guidelines recommended by the Board: to send a fat quarter
basket to a member when there is a death in the immediate family; a fat quarter
basket to a member who has a serious illness or has surgery requiring
hospitalization; and a card to a member when there is a serious illness in the
member’s family. A Community Service/ Door Prize Committee will be appointed
to solicit door prizes, preside at the monthly drawing of door prizes,
coordinate community service projects, and coordinate fundraising activities to
support these projects. Previously this duty fell under the umbrella of
Corresponding /Membership Secretary. The Board also agreed to purchase batting
for the community service quilts and sources are being explored from whence to
purchase. It was decided that the Design Committee does need to function this
year even though there is a donation quilt ready for 2004. It was recommended
that the Newsletter be mailed directly to a member’s e-mail address. Currently
a member has to access the Guild’s website and provide a password to access
the Newsletter. This decision was recommended to encourage more members to
receive the Newsletter via e-mail in order to cut the high cost of postal mail.
It was determined that the Newsletter be e-mailed to the contact person of those
guilds that are geographically situated to the location of the Greenville area.
Burt, incoming secretary was directed to send to Alliance Bank the 2003 roster
of officers. Rehm, vice-president/programs reported that the programs for
January through June have been confirmed. The time frame for meetings in 2003
is: 5:30-6:30, social hour; 6:30, eat; 7:00, meeting promptly begins; meetings
adjourn at 9:00. Hostesses should make every effort to have food at the church
before 6:30 or arrange for someone to deliver it by that time. The 2003 Budget
has one item from the 2002 Budget deleted and two new items added. The item
deleted is Workshops and the items added are Directory/Ads and Garage
Sale/Silent Auction. Other business on the agenda pertinent to the new slate of
officers included the location of organizational documents, the 501C-3
documents, the location of the post office box key, and the direction or flow of
information between the officers in order to meet deadlines and conduct business
of the Guild. Pam Hodapp volunteered to pick up the mail from the post office
this year.
The
meeting was adjourned by incoming president, McCaw.

COTTON
PATCH QUILT GUILD
Regular
Meeting, December 19, 2002 Kavanaugh United Methodist Church, 6:30 pm
There was a full house ( no sign-up sheet so no exact count ), including two
guests, for the Christmas meeting of the Cotton Patch Quilt Guild at Kavanaugh
United Methodist Church on December 19, 2002. The Fellowship Hall was brightly
decorated with all the UFO challenges that had been completed in response to
Alice Cooney's project. The Christmas tree was piled high with packages for our
gift exchange, and the food tables couldn't have accommodated even one more
dish! It was a wonderful evening full of surprise, laughter and fellowship.
Barbie
Weaver, a board member of the American Cotton Museum and former guild member,
has contacted us to see if we will participate in a project to rotate a
different quilt each month at the museum. Anyone interested should call Adrien
Witkofsky at the museum, 450-4502. Jane Martyn, chair of the nominating
committee, presented a proposed slate of officers for 2003. Approval was
unanimous, on the condition that Pebble remain Program Chairman for the next ten
years! Those serving will be: President - Katharine McCaw; Vice Pres. of
Programs - Pebble Rehm; Recording Secretary - Carolyn Burt; Corresponding
Membership Secretary - Pam Hodapp; Librarian - Sue Childers; Treasurer - Connie
Cawthon; Newsletter Editor - Tracy Greenlee. Installation will take place at the
January meeting. The positions of Historian and Quilt Committee Chairman will be
filled in January.
Treasurer
Connie Cawthon reported a balance of $1679.16. According to annual reports, all
officers came in under budget for this year. Dues for 2003, $24.00, are now
payable. All members should plan to renew at the January meeting, or mail a
check to Pam Hodapp prior to February 1. Those who do not renew before February
28th will be dropped from the roster and will no longer receive the monthly
newsletter.
Pebble
distributed a Make-and-Take snowman ornament kit to everyone and explained how
to assemble it. She also offered to provide any monthly coloring sheets to those
who request them. There are still openings in the Feb. 22 and Mar. 22 Machine
Maintenance workshops with Jack Sheets. Fee is $20.00 Contact Pebble to
register.
The Cotton Belles will begin holding their monthly meetings in the small dining
room of Kavanaugh Church at 10:00 on first Mondays. Anyone wishing to be part of
a day circle that meets in Greenville is invited to visit and join. For more
information contact Sherry Worley.
It was obvious that Alice Cooney had labored long and hard over the cleverly
worded awards that she presented to all those who displayed their glorious UFOs.
But don't relax ! Be assured that Alice has a new challenge coming up! We'll
just have to wait and see what it is.
Year -end reports are due next month from all officers and committee chairmen.
Please submit one copy for the incoming officer/committee chairman and one copy
for the Recording Secretary's record.
Next month we will be visited by the Quilt Police. I didn't do it !!
Door prizes were won by Nora Whitehead, Jane Asberry's daughter, Allen Day,
Gladys Trammel, Katharine McCaw, Maxine Leverett, Jane Martyn and Doris McManus.
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.

FRIENDSHIP
CIRCLES
Cotton
Belles
The
Cotton Belles Quilt Circle met at the Kavanaugh Methodist Church on Monday,
January 6, in the small dining room. Future meetings will be held there.
Visitors are most welcome. Our meetings are 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Bring something
to work on, handwork or machine.
We voted to donate a tulip quilt, which is now being quilted, to Kavanaugh in
appreciation for using their room to meet.
A collection was taken up for a donation to FISH.
Next meeting will be on Monday, February 3. Bring your own lunch. Nora will
bring dessert. Bring something for show and tell.
Cotton Blossoms
The
Cotton Blossoms met for the first meeting of the new year on January 6th. There
were 9 members present. It was really good to see everybody again. We made plans
for the year and caught up on all the news since we met last. We have some
interesting programs planned for the coming months. We are planning to make our
challenge quilts for Ronald McDonald again as well as other children's projects.
Our circle will continue to meet on the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month at the
Presbyterian Church on Monroe St. in Commerce. We would love to have some new
members so come join us if you can. Our next meeting will be on Jan 20.
Cotton
Strippers
December
Meeting: The Strippers met on a cold rainy night in December for their
Christmas party. Lots and lots of good food arrived and after digging in secret
pals were revealed. You can sign up for next year by getting the form from Jane.
The deadline will be the January meeting. Sue is now taking money for March
retreat. Sign up quick as it fills up fast! Most of the strippers wore their
hats. For the few stragglers they received a special prize. Those wearing their
hats were eligible for prizes straight from Jane’s sewing room. The members
each brought a pretty fat quarter and an ugly fat quarter. We played
"Chinese Christmas" where you steal each others fabric. It was a huge
success however, if anyone wants my ugly green they are welcome to it. Jane read
a Christmas story and we passed the pretty fat quarter to the right and to the
left and it was just a struggle to keep up but each person ended up with a
different pretty fabric than the one they started with. It was great fun and Sue
could almost tell her right from left by the time we were finished. We look
forward to doing this again! The food sign up sheet was passed around and
everyone should be on the list twice for refreshments.
January
Meeting: The Strippers met in January just as a cold front blew in. We had a
wonderful Taco Soup Dinner hosted by the Stoney Hollow Gang which included
Pebble, Shirley, Kay, Mary Lou, Pam, Sue and Maejean. Announcements: Only 3
people signed up for secret pals this year. A suggestion was made that those
wanting to participate would collect items for the next 6 months, place them in
a box (possibly decorated) and at the July (retreat) or August meeting we would
draw names for the boxes. The dollar amount to be spent should not be over $30
(average $5 per month). Sounds like fun! Sue gave out the pattern for the row
quilt and several new people signed up. Roberta has a new grandson. Huey has
been very ill with bleeding in his eyes and he is in our thoughts and prayers.
Give him a call or send a card if you can. The February Meeting will be at the
home of Paula Talley; maps were distributed. The February refreshment girls will
coordinate with Paula regarding the food. If you need directions call Jane or
Paula.
Sunbonnet Sues
There
was no meeting of the Sunbonnet Sue Group in January. The February meeting will
be February 6 at the home of Pebble Rehm for our annual retreat to Seis Lagos.
The March meeting will not be held due to March Retreat.
