New Committee for 2015
22nd Oct
Request from the Photographer:
To take good photos you would be proud to see published on the web, please take note of the following.
Stand close as close to your quilts as
possible – this eliminate body parts of the people holding your quilt showing in the photo.
If your quilt is very large stand in front of the quilt.
If you are holding your quilt, hold it still – it is very difficult to take a photo of the article you are
showing if it waving about, the photo will be blurred.
Relax and smile – your work is beautiful and so are you!
Remember the lighting in the room is very bad. The background wall is dark. The only light comes
from the top and casts shadows e.g. if you look down you face will be in the shadow and it becomes
impossible to take a good photo.
Thank you for your help.

Book Review
August 2014
A Quilters Journey
submitted by Jean Smith
Cynthia Morgan.
This is an interesting read - the story of the quilters ability to “
make from the ordinary stuff of fabrics true wonders of rich
personal expression”
She has won many awards for her work and this is a great source
of Inspiration.
Simple Strategies for Block Swop Quilts
Lynn Roddy Brown
This is not a new book and it may be overlooked because of its title
Block swopping is probably not popular here. It is a great book for using up Scraps.
There is information on designing quilts using blocks, clear instructions on quilt
making techniques and a good mix of patterns including some traditional
blocks with an interesting twist.
Please note that a Simple System was created by Sandi and Hermein
To put the Library Books into Categories
Wooden dividers with tags displaying key words.
It works well with lots of ladies looking through the containers in a limited space
and limited time. This book is filed under Scraps.

DID YOU KNOW.
Quilting is an Ancient Art
The earliest recorded example of quilting can be found on a garment worn by a carved ivory
statue from Egypt in 3400 B.C. The oldest actual quilt still in existence is also from Egypt,
from 980 B.C. This quilt, held in a museum in Cairo is made from colored gazelle leather.
Ancient quilts dating from before the Roman Era have also been found in India and Central
Asia. In Europe quilting appears to have been introduced by Crusaders in the 12th century
in the form of a quilted garment worn under armor which later developed into the doublet.
Another example of early decorative work is the "Tristan quilt", made around 1360.
Made in Sicily, it is one of the earliest surviving quilts in the world, at least two sections
survive at the V&A Museum and in Bargello, Florence.
12 fun facts about Aurifil thread
1. The thread has all the lint singed off
2. Aurifil uses Egyptian cotton which can vary from year to year.
3. It takes a little over 7 minutes to create a 50 wt spool of thread
4. Thread will last and do fine in a consistent temperature
5. Sunlight can fade the color of thread.
6. Aurifil thread is made without any toxic chemicals
7. 50 wt is the finest thread and their best seller, outsells others 10 to 1
8. Color number 2000 is the only one which is not dyed
9. They are experimenting with linen thread which is 7 times as expensive.
10. The lower the wt, the thicker the thread and the more your stitches will show.
11. They buy their raw cotton supply two years in advance
12. You can take the cap off the thread and use it to secure the thread when its not being used

Speaker for September 2014 - Lesley Pahl
I consider myself retired now, except for ..
assisting Suanne at UMNYAMA, working as a Longarm quilter, five days a
week.
I also organize Quilting retreats in March and October.
I have children and grandchildren in England, America and New Zealand,
so traveling abroad is top of the list for my husband and myself.
What a life!!!!

A Barn Quilt is a painting of a quilt, or a single quilt block pattern, placed on
the side of a barn or other large building. These paintings are typically painted
on large pieces of wood and mounted to the side of the building, or painted directly on the wall. These beautiful painted Barn Quilts were born in the MidWestern United States, but have spread to communities across the U.S. and
Canada.
The History of the Barn Quilt
It is believed that the concept of the Barn Quilt originated with Donna Sue
Groves who wished to honor her mother, an avid quilter, and her Appalachian
heritage, by having a large quilt square painted on the side of Donna's barn in
Adams County, Ohio. Donna's work with the Ohio Arts Council resulted in a
collection of 20 additional quilt blocks being painted on barns along a local
driving trail in the hopes that it would attract more visitors to their community

The International Quilt Convention held in July at Emperors Palace
was really an event not to be missed.
The Quilt exhibitions were totally awesome and it was totally

of the above photos.
All classes given were thoroughly enjoyed and every one came away
thoroughly stimulated.
