It's August!

2009-08-12T16:16:00.000-07:00

My goodness! I just noticed that I have not posted since the middle of July. What have I been doing? We have been attending our daughter's soccer games and also our grand children's soccer games. We've taken a few rides. Ate ice cream. We spent a day in Alexandria Bay with one of our daughters and grandchildren. We enjoyed a boat ride to Boldt Castle and went to an aquarium.
I did finish a quilt top from a class I took at last year's quilt camp. Marcia Tiernan taught the class and she is now machine quilting it for me. My sister, Mary, and I both took the class and took our tops over to Marcia. I thought Marcia would just pick out the right pattern. Not so! She wanted us to pick out the designs and the thread. After much studying, we decided on several designs. I can't wait to see them. Mary and I want to get the binding on and take the quilts to next month's quilt camp.
We are both taking a class from Marcia again this year. She's a fun gal. It was hard to decide. We liked all the choices and we enjoy taking classes from all the teachers.
It's wonderful to see what other quilters are working on.
When I get the quilt back, I'll post a photo.

A few Challenge entries.

Our 8th Biennial Quilt Show is now a part of guild history. It was a wonderful weekend. The quilts, wall hangings, challenge quilts and other entries were amazing. Our guild members are extremely talented and diverse. First reports call the show a success. We had 499 signatures in our guest book. We wonder how many viewing the show did not sign in.

Chloe Ann and I are collecting our thoughts and asking for feedback from committee members and vendors.

The show was a group effort. We're a great team!

Many photos were taken throughout the weekend. I'll start posting more soon.

It's A Role!

2009-06-12T19:10:00.000-07:00

We hope to see you at the show!

The Mighty Pines 4-H Club will be demonstrating their projects on Saturday from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM. They'll be making "Bears and Binkies". It's wonderful that our youth are interested in sewing. Be sure to check their table out.

4-H is the youth development component of the Cornell Cooperative Extension system. 4-H helps young people from rural and urban areas explore their interests and expand their awareness of our world. It provides opportunities to develop a greater sense of who they are and who they can become as contributing citizens of our communities, our state, our nation and our world. This mission is achieved through research-based educational programs of Cornell University and an ongoing tradition of applied hands-on/minds-on experiences that develops the heads, hearts, hands and health of St. Lawrence County Youth.

Boutique Reminder

2009-06-02T15:41:00.001-07:00

I'm posting this again as a reminder to members to bring items for the boutique......
Our show boutique promises to include a unique assortment of items donated by guild members including fabric, quilt books, quilt magazines and quilting gadgets. The sale of some items will benefit the guild and help with their community service projects. Our guild members will also be selling many of their own homemade items.

Special thanks to Hilary Oak for her support of our guild.

Quilt Sleeve

2009-05-28T14:29:00.000-07:00

Nearly all quilt shows require a 4" hanging sleeve for quilts exhibited. This 4" size accommodates most hanging rods or slats used at shows.
Here's a link to directions in a PDF format. Sleeves can be basted on for easy removal. No one is going to see them. Having a sleeve will facilitate hanging and........ really help us out!!

2009-05-19T16:39:00.000-07:00

A few photos from the 2007 Show....

I've been logging and assigning numbers to the show entries. The show is going to be interesting and colorful with a wide variety of quilts, wall hangings, challenge quilts, table runners, purses and a few clothing items. Wonderful!.

Chloe Ann brought up the need for signage. We want to make sure we have good directions for the various activities taking place and especially to where the vendors are located. We LOVE vendors!

We have two more vendors. I'll give information on them tomorrow.

I spoke with Patti Francis last night. She will be handling the "bed turning" feature. We've decided to schedule this at 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM on both Saturday and Sunday.

Day Trip to Clayton - Pat Knoechel

2009-05-17T16:10:00.000-07:00

My sister, Mary, friend Debbie and I drove to Clayton, NY today to attend a lecture by Pat Knoechel, a renowned author, teacher and expert quilter and the sister of Eleanor Burns of the Quilt in a Day books. Pat spoke about different techniques and designs of quilting and displayed a vast array of quilts. One of her topics featured the techniques involved in making the blocks featured in Eleanor's new Day & Night Quilt in a Day book. How impressive! We were able to have our books and patterns signed by Pat. Pat travels extensively and is a wonderful speaker. If you have the chance to see her, don't pass it up.

Thank you to the St. Lawrence River Quilters who hosted the event.

One Month Away!

2009-05-13T17:28:00.000-07:00

Thanks to all who have signed up to volunteer for the various show duties. Chloe Ann and I touched base today and will be doing so every day from now on. We want to make sure all the bases are covered.

I spoke with a couple members who are putting the finishing touches on their entries. One member is dropping a king-sized quilt off tomorrow for quilting. She spoke of the binding job to come - it's a good thing she loves hand work.

We had a quilt show committee meeting this morning at Clarkson University's Cheel Center where our show will be held. The meeting was well attended.

Our members are busy completing show entries.

We're starting to receive registration forms. Lots of favors have already been made. Great posters were designed by member, Renee Holsen, and are available for distribution. I'm encouraged at the progress being made. Many hands make for a lighter load.

Quilt Appraisals

2009-01-20T16:50:00.000-08:00

Having a written appraisal on each quilt that you own is the best way to document your quilt collection of antique, newly made traditional-style, and/or art quilts, and record their Insurance Replacement Value. A written appraisal will determine the value for replacement with similar like and kind when shipping your quilt, displaying it in a quilt show, or any other loss or damage.

We are excited to be offering quilt appraisals at our show. Member, Anne Ryan-Ruud, has secured certified appraiser, Genie Barnes. Genie will be available on both Saturday and Sunday. Appointments will need to be scheduled. Anne's phone number is 315-379-9327.

Eugenia (Genie) Barnes has been a quilt maker since the early 1960's. Genie founded the first quilt guild in central New York and has been involved in the development of many other guilds. She has been a professional quilt maker, teacher, and lecturer on the international circuit since 1978.
Genie is one of the first five people certified by AQS as an Appraiser of Quilts/Quilted Textiles. Genie's quilt making is rooted in the tradition of quilting, both in her work and historical base of knowledge. She is noted for her traditional and innovative piece work, for her ability to aid students with problem solving, her hand skills and designs, as well as her sense of humor.
Genie has contributed to a number of publications, both books, and magazines, and has worked on state documentation projects. Genie is active as a teacher/lecturer in all areas of quilts and quilting. She is also a judge and appraiser throughout the United States and abroad.

One of our talented guild members is designing a flier and poster to help publicize our show. I'm soooooo excited! I'm working on a target list to get the news out - newspapers, television stations, radio stations, other guilds, shops, etc.

Our Raffle Quilt

Most shows feature a raffle quilt. Our quilt is called Welcome to My Cabin. It was designed by Nancy Smith and Lynda Milligan of The Great American Quilt Factory - http://greatamericanquilt.com/. Guild member, Chloe Ann O'Neil made our quilt and it was beautifully machine quilted by member Marcia Tiernan. The colors are bright and cheerful. Check out the applique animals, flowers and leaves! The quilting is full of surprises.

Tickets are available from guild members for a donation of $1 each or 6 for $5
