Program
Notes
April 22 – Alicia Gentry from Pea Ridge
AR
will be teaching a class on Ribbons and Stars from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
Cost is $15.00 per person and you will need to purchase the pattern
from her at class. A supply list is available from Sherry. Please have
your fabric pre-cut before class as this will save class time for more
sewing and learning. Yes, there is some paper piecing but it is for
accuracy and is straight line. Alecia will have a lecture at our
evening meeting titled "Inspiration Comes from Everywhere." www.noblepatchwork.com
May 27 – Susan Stewart – Pittsburg
KS
– will be showing us Heirloom Sewing Trunk Show. See dozens of examples
of heirloom sewing projects up close! Both garments and quilts will be
shown. Sue was a primary designer for Martha Pullen Co. and Sew
Beautiful magazine for over 15 years and will bring examples of the
hundred of garments she designed during this time, including samples
from her incorporating heirloom machine techniques and machine
embroidery in her entirely machine sewn quilts. www. susanstewartdesigns.com

Theme
for April is “April Showers”.
Hope
everyone makes a block!!!
This
is your chance to step outside what you
might normally do and try something new.
Sometimes blocks may seem challenging, but
it’s good to learn something
new. Trying new
blocks will build your
confidence to make more challenging blocks and quilts.
Reminder: If
you’re participating in the “Brown Bag” project, at the April meeting, you need to turn in your brown bags
with the first border on.
If you
have checked out Library Books, please
remember to bring them back!!!!!!
The following were seen in a quilt store made into mini quilts (wall
hangings).
How to know if you are a REAL quilter
1. There's
more fabric in the house than food.
2. "Fat
quarter" is not the heaviest part of your body.
3. Your ironing
board is always set up, but you never iron clothes.
4. You think
of your job as an interruption of your quilting time.
5. You pet
fabric.
6. People are
always picking thread off you.
7. You can
measure a scant 1/4 inch by eye.
8. Featherweight
doesn't mean boxer.
9. Your
"UFO's" are not from outer space.
10. You clean up your sewing room and your family thinks
that you
are leaving
home.
Rules for Quilting
1. Always buy new fabric no matter how much you already have.
2. Sew all day and
all night. Absolutely no cooking allowed.
3. Use a lot of spit for tiny droplets of blood. This always makes the quilt personal.
4. And always start a new
quilt before the last one is finished. This requires
you go back to step 1.
Give a quilter an inch and she will think she is the
ruler.
NOTICE: Around the Block Fabric & Quilt Shop is
going out of business as the owner is moving to another area. She will be open at least through April and
maybe some of May. Everything is up to
50% off.
Ladies, there is an excellent article in the April issue of McCall’s
Quilting Magazine. It is by Nancy Smith
and Lynda Milligan. The article is
“Support Your Local Shop”. We are
blessed by several quilt stores in our area.
Each store has it’s own personality and I hope they all continue to do
business for many years to come! Please
SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL QUILT STORE!!
