COTTON
PATCH QUILT GUILD
Greenville,
TX
November,
2003
It’s
easy to come up with new ideas. The hard part is letting go of what worked
for you two years ago but will soon be out of date.
Letter
from the President
Dear
Quilters,
I
miss all of you! But I also know that you would encourage me to be where I
am. I can't predict when I will return - life and death are in God's
hands, not ours -, but perhaps it will be soon!
In the meantime, Pebble is graciously adding another hat to her
"wardrobe", and handling the additional responsibilities with
her customary efficiency. Our guild is blessed to have such a wonderful
board, able to remain flexible and to cover for other members when
necessary. (Of course, the membership ain't too shabby, either!!) While
we're patting ourselves on the back, let's just include everybody and
preen with pride!
If I'm back by November 20, I'll be SO happy to see all of you! Meanwhile,
please keep my sister, Jean Harrison, in your prayers.
Piecefully,
Katharine

Guild Meeting
November
20, 2003
6:30
pm
Skills
Night
Eight
presenters will teach all of us new skills and/or techniques. Handouts
with complete instructions will be given by each presenter. For those who
missed this last year, we divide up between the presenters and rotate from
table to table after completion of each demonstration. This worked very
well last year and plenty of time is allotted at each table. It is
wonderful to have so many gifted quilters willing to share their knowledge
with us.
The
December program will be a make and take. We will have an optional gift
exchange of a $5 gift. Alice Cooney has challenged us to bring samples of
gifts we have made to give others some great ideas for gifts to make next
year. A sign-up sheet will be available to request instructions for making
the items. Also, bring any Christmas item you have made for our very own
cozy displays.
Election
of officers for 2004 will be held at the December meeting as well!

The

Thursday October 23, at 7:00 p.m. Vice President, Pebble Rehm called the
meeting to order and welcomed guests Dorothy Wells, Faye Coffman, Sherri
Paisley, JoAnn Korbelic and Bob Belib. She thanked the hostesses for the

In
honor and memory of Ruth Bacon, a long-time guild member, a moment of

Ruth’s daughters.
New

proceeds from the Ronald McDonald quilt were $1,010); the FISH auction at
Wesley United Methodist Church, Greenville is November 21; and 3) the
community service committee had made and donated three lap robes to Oaks
Manor Nursing Home, Commerce. Worley encouraged guild members to pick up
pre-cut quilt kits provided by the committee. The nominating committee
slate of Lisa Coker, Carolyn Burt, Norlyn Quinn with alternates, Pat Jonz
and sherry Worley was voted on and approved as the one business matter of
the evening. Coker will chair the committee.

attending Fall Retreat at Lake Eufaula. She also announced a craft sale,
November 11 to be conducted by A&M-University office association
members in Commerce. Barbara Ratcliff announced the BPWOA sale, October
31-November 1, Greenville, reminding members of the excellent cheeses sold
by this group. Tracy Greenlee called attention to deletion of hostesses
names beginning with “B” in the newsletter. This matter will be worked
out.

Belles
The
Belles met in the small dining room on November 3rd. We were
very happy that new member Vickie Schumann could join us again. We will be
working on Salvation Army stockings on Wednesday November 12. Please bring
your lunch and serger if you have one. The stocking quilt has a very busy
schedule this month. Please see Sherry if you need to add to the schedule.
The Christmas party will be Tuesday December 16th. We will meet
at Sherry’s at 10-ish, have cookies and exchange gifts then go to
Durning House for Lunch (reservation at 1:00). If you were not at the
meeting please let Sherry know if you will attend. If you would like to
participate in the gift exchange please bring a $5.00 gift. The monthly
FISH donation was $31. Santa’s were almost completed for the FISH
auction, they will be finished by Nora and LaNell. Show and Tell consisted
of Nora’s Thimble Book and Sherry’s Santa wall hanging for FISH. The
next meeting will be December 1 at 10:00 a.m. in the small dining room.
Sherry will bring dessert. Everyone should bring their own project
(unless, of course, you have everything finished for Christmas!)
A
big thank you goes to LaNell Bundick for finishing the table runner
started by Letha Lovell. Susan Cross will contact the family and present
it to them in time for the holiday season.

Cotton
Blossoms
The
Cotton Blossom Quilt Circle met October 20 at Madeline's Quilt Farm. We so
enjoy going to her place to meet. Evidently we are having that year-end
mad dash to get our projects completed as nearly everyone had show and
tell. Norlyn gave a review of a Quiltmaker magazine and showed the
finished "Japanese Twist Bag" as shown in the issue reviewed.
After birthday and secret pal exchanges we basted a blue/white friendship
quilt for Helen Rowe.
November
3 was a road trip for the circle. We headed to Ronald McDonald to deliver
our 20 quilts. The director, Kay Cox, was very pleased with each and every
quilt. In addition to our challenge quilts and extras made by our members
we were pleased to add 4 community service quilts from the Guild. Kay and
our circle thank you for providing them. After lunch at the Quadrangle in
Uptown we went Downtown Dallas to Thanks-Giving Square to view the Amish
quilts. This display is part of Quilt Mania. Continuing on we visited the
bronze longhorn cattle drive. Very impressive. Our last stop was
Quiltworks in Rockwall and a nice visit with Sue C. A fun day - next
meeting Nov. 17.

You
know you are a quilter when:
...you
happily spend all day prewashing quilt fabric but when
it comes to doing “real” laundry, you procrastinate
until everyone is on their last pair of undies and
socks!
...you
have no qualms about driving for 2-3 hours just to see a
quilt show or go to a quilt shop!
...you
find yourself NOT telling your kids where you are going
so that you won’t hear “Oh no, not another quilt
show!”
...you
start hiding the credit card bill when it comes so that
no one else will see the number of charges you have made
to your favorite quilt shop!
...you
have a section in your day planner specifically for
quilt notes, show dates and any ideas that may come up!
...you
need new clothes and spend two hundred dollars on
material instead!
...you
give gracious compliments to the guys at work for their
wonderful ties (all the while wondering how long they
keep their ties and trying to figure out how you can get
them for quilts!)
...you’re
making travel plans and one of your first thoughts is if
there are any must see quilt shops within a 100-mile
radius of your destination!
…”Featherweight”
doesn’t mean a boxer!
...there’s
more fabric in your house than food!
Happy
Birthday!

No
meeting was held in November due to Eufaula Retreat. The December
meeting will be held at the church. Any member with a “Blooming 9
Patch” quilt is encourage to bring it so we can discuss our next Round
Robin project. Everyone is to bring a dish. Also, please bring 2 fat
quarters. One must be out of your “ugly” collection. Everyone is
also encouraged to wear his or her Stripper hat.

Sues
The
Sunbonnet Sues met in the small dining room of the church. Donna Moon
was our hostess and the food was really wonderful. It was great to see
everyone! The December meeting place will be announced via email from
Jane. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

You
know you are a quilter when:
...you
happily spend all day prewashing quilt fabric but when it comes to doing
“real” laundry, you procrastinate until everyone is on their last pair
of undies and socks!
...you
have no qualms about driving for 2-3 hours just to see a quilt show or go
to a quilt shop!
...you
find yourself NOT telling your kids where you are going so that you
won’t hear “Oh no, not another quilt show!”
...you
start hiding the credit card bill when it comes so that no one else will
see the number of charges you have made to your favorite quilt shop!
...you
have a section in your day planner specifically for quilt notes, show
dates and any ideas that may come up!
...you
need new clothes and spend two hundred dollars on material instead!
...you
give gracious compliments to the guys at work for their wonderful ties
(all the while wondering how long they keep their ties and trying to
figure out how you can get them for quilts!)
...you’re
making travel plans and one of your first thoughts is if there are any
must see quilt shops within a 100-mile radius of your destination!
…”Featherweight”
doesn’t mean a boxer!
...there’s
more fabric in your house than food!
Happy
Birthday!
