guild day sets everything up, also the

"ladies of the evening" who clean up

at the end of the day.

Ardythe has been working her

tail off for the guild for years, she not

terrific job this year and they have

Merm’s Monthly Cont’d from page one

guild, you have just as much to contrib-

ute. I was a member for three months

when I volunteered to be the president.

Everyone has seen what a screw up I

am and no one has hanged me yet. So

you will survive it too! I think it's better

to be "new" sometimes because we

don't have all the negative information.

You know the info I mean, "sew and

sew burnt those cookies and brought

them to the pot luck anyway" " I know,

isn't it awful" Not that any of us

would ever say anything negative.

(very much Tongue in Cheek) uh uh!

All joking aside, all of the

positions are coming up this year.

Some

fabulous people have volunteered to do

another term and those people have my

thanks. You all get a pat on the back.

Which is always better than a kick in

the @$&.

To make a long story short get

off your duff ladies we need YOU!!!!!

Until next month, Cheers, Marie

About My Friend Dorothy

I have been asked to write a few words

about the passing of this beautiful

woman. This is a pretty tall order as

most of us could go on a long time

about this truly amazing soul.

Cont’d on page seven

Some of you may remember

that Valerie Hearder, a Canadian Quilt

Teacher had two suitcases of quilts

stolen from her vehicle while in New-

foundland -

Read on - From Judy Morrison:

June 13, 2008

LOST QUILTS

Yes, sadly, it's true. TWO

suitcases were taken from the

locked trunk of my car just after the

Quilt Canada conference here in St.

John's Newfoundland. I've lost a

significant body of work. Flamboy-

ant, Tropic of Capricorn, Fertil-

ity, several small wall hangings and

collages. Almost all of the land-

scapes from my new book "Points

of View". Also gone are all my

teaching samples, slides etc.

Flamboyant is on the homepage of

my web site and I'd just borrowed it

back from a collector here in St.

John's for an exhibition in August.

I still need to make a complete in-

ventory when I get back home to

Nova Scotia, so will keep you

posted later on next week. In the

mean time, keeping an eye on eBay,

Kijiji St. Johns', Freecycle web sites

and flea markets in the St. John's

area are one way to perhaps spot

them. Phone the Royal Newfound-

land Constabulary if you do. A

reward has been posted around this

town for their return. There are op-

timistic people here in St. John's

who feel they just may turn up. So,

positive thoughts are gratefully re-

ceived!

I've had an outpouring of

support from quilters around the

globe. You are all so wonderful and

positive. I'll try and respond to you

all later on next week.

Right now, I'm staying

with my original plan to have a

short vacation on the coast of New-

foundland. I‟ll post again when I

have news and when I can get back

to my computer and access to pho-

tos.

best,

Val [Hearder]

p.s. I still love Newfoundland!!

Intersections: Where Words and Quilting Meet By Jessie Schut

CVSQ - Box 1507, Comox, B.C. V9M 8A2 - Editor@schoolhousequilters,com

Where do ideas come from?

How can an idea morph from one thing

into another? What kind of magical

process is involved? Are there ways to

nurture creativity?

These are questions that I‟ve

been puzzling over, ever since some-

thing cool happened as I was working

on a journal quilt last week. It started

out with an idea of depicting in fabric

what happened in the first week of Lent.

This would be serious stuff. Churchy

stuff. Deep, heart-searching spiritual

journey stuff, involving a cross, a Bible,

printing and making pictures on fabric.

Well. The printing didn‟t work

out. The pictures looked weird. The

whole thing just wasn‟t interesting. Just

when I was ready to chuck it all, some-

one said something that turned on a

lightbulb inside my head. I started over,

and this is what my square looks like:

You may not care for my

“creative” effort, but it makes me gig-

gle. I started with nothing except an

idea, and I kept working at it till it be-

came something. The interesting thing

is, there‟s a lot of truth in that square,

probably more truth than there was in

the original idea. And it felt so good!

Researcher Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

writes, “Of all human activities, creativ-

ity comes closest to providing the ful-

fillment we all hope to get in our lives.

Call it full-blast living...” He adds it to

a list that also includes sex, sports, mu-

sic, and religious ecstasy as activities

that provide a sense of being part of

something bigger than ourselves.(Sex?

Phew, I‟m blushing!)

How on earth did this creative

process happen? I‟ve been reading and

digging to find out about the creative

process and want to share it with you in

this and next month‟s column.

Some people think that only a

select few people are creative. Not

true! We all have creativity as part of

our genetic makeup. Cavemen (and

women) needed creativity when they

came across situations for which there was

no instruction manual (such as how to

survive in a cave cooped up with your

significant other all winter.) We still need

creativity to survive today – just watch

how creative you can be when you realize

it‟s your in-laws‟ car in the front drive

while you‟re still lounging around in your

nightgown at 10:30 a.m.

But society today has squelched

a lot of creativity out of us. Commonly

accepted norms such as “time is money”,

“we need to be productive”, 5 Easy Rules

for Being a Success, “don‟t rock the

NEW: http://www.schoolhousequilters.com

It reads: What will you give uqp for Lent?

Perfectionism! Goob ibea.)



boat”, „be a team player”, “tried and true” –

these sayings and lots more like them tell us

that there are more important things to think

about than being creative.

In some ways, life has just gotten

too easy – we don‟t even have to improvise

recipes anymore – just open the box and add

eggs or whatever. There are experts around

every corner to tell you what to do and how

to do it. Dr. Phil will solve your relationship

problems, Martha will decorate your home,

and Oprah will tell you everything else,

from what‟s in fashion to what books you

should be reading. Sad to say, even some

quilting workshops can knock the creative

tar out of us when they become so prescrip-

tive that we feel boxed in. Learning tech-

niques, color theories, and design principles

is great – but nobody should be telling us

how to use them for the rest of our lives. .

As well, our inner critics are hot to

trot whenever we try to break creative in-

stincts out of the box. We all have voices

inside our heads reminding us of past mis-

takes. As kids, we learned pretty quickly in

school that you don‟t color a rooster bright

red, even if you think it looks great; and

forget about coloring outside the lines. Most

people are thought to be eccentric if they

stick a lime green feather in their purple

Jessie’s Intersections - continued hats, and who wants to be eccentric?

What will people think?

In these and a hundred other

ways, we are told that being different,

trying out our own wings, and messing

around with art is a waste of time.

So it takes a certain gutsiness to

explore and nourish our creativity today.

Quilter Sandra Meech ( Creative Quilts:

Inspiration, Texture and Stitch. Batsford

Publishing, 2006) quotes psychologist

Erich Fromme, “Creativity requires the

courage to let go of certainties.” Courage

is a biggie if you want to be creative. It

takes moxy to step out, try it, and risk the

failure.

Is it worth it? That rush of

adrenaline, that walking-on-air feeling

tell me it is. How about you?

Next month, I‟ll write more

about some of the things we can do to

nurture our creative sides, and step out in

courage. If you have any ideas you want

to share with me, things that have

worked for you, or ah-ha! moments that

you‟ll never forget, please phone to chat

(250-331-0156) or e-mail me your story

FOUND! This afternoon a journalist from a t.v. station in St. John's phoned

to say that a young man had called the

station to say he'd found my quilts.

The journalist interviewed the fellow,

and saw my quilts and they aired the

story this evening. I'm told they are

undamaged. They were found in 2

plastic garbage bags on a well used

path - obviously dumped there today. I

spoke with the finder who handed the

quilts to the police and I am waiting to

hear from the police

I'm thrilled and over-

whelmed. The out-pouring of support

and care from everyone has been so

heartening. So many were positive

they would be found - and I knew that

if magic could happen in any city, it

would be St. John's where there is a

big heart and everyone cares. I heard

from a quilter in St. John's this eve-

ning who said even her postman asked

everyday if the quilts had shown up

Library Committee Report

Using the Schoolhouse

Quilters’ Library Our library is self-serve. Li-brary. Volunteers are responsible for opening and closing our storage cup-boards. During the day, the first vol-unteer to arrive opens the library and the last to leave locks up. Brenda and Debbie look after the library dur-ing the evening sessions. A list of who is on duty is posted inside the door of the left li-brary cupboard. If you have a ques-tion or need help, just ask a library volunteer. To borrow a book Choose a book. You might like to just browse the shelves or re-fer to lists provided in the plastic fold-ers on the library table. These fold-ers have books listed in alphabetic order by title, by author and numeri-cally by book number. Newer books will be found near the beginning of the numerical list by book number and can be recognized by looking down the date column. Remove the book card from the first page of the book and fill in today’s date and your name. File the card in the library binder in the pocket that matches the book number. The book number is usually on the spine of the book. You may borrow the book for 4 weeks. To return a book Find the book card for your book (using the book number) in the library binder. Fill in the date re-turned and put the book card back in the book. Return the book to the li-brary shelf in numerical order. To borrow and return templates, CDs find the appropriate section in the binder and follow the book proce-dures.

The Library belongs to all of us, so use it, and take care of it too! Thanks for Listening! Your Library Committee


We have added the fol-lowing books to the library this month: 40 Fabulous Quick-Cut Quilts by Evelyn Sloppy (#114), Beaded Embellishment by Amy C. Clarke and Robin Atkins (#117), Loose Change by Clau-dia Plett and Le Ann Weaver (#118), 200 Quilting Tips, Tech-niques and Trade Secrets by Susan Briscoe (#122) and Six halves Make a Whole by Susan Knapp and Mary Jane Mattingly (#133). I am still anxiously await-ing the arrival of Machine Quilt-ing Solutions by Christine Ma-raccini. In addition to the pur-chased books, two books were donated to the library in the past month: Curve Patch Quilts Made Easy by Trice Boerens (#138) and Quilt Pink for Hope from Better Homes and Gardens (#139).Thanks to Karrie Phelps and Pat Neufeld for these. Remember that updated lists of the books available in our library are available on our web-site sorted by book number (remember to check the date col-umn to see which books are the newest), by title or by author. You are welcome to re-quest books for the library by completing a bright pink NEW BOOK REQUEST form found in the front of the library binder. continued on page seven

yet. When the quilts were stolen a local

t.v. station contacted me to say the

whole town was pulling for me! I love

St. John's!

I've seen my work published in

many forms over the years, but taping

up "Reward" posters of my quilts was

one of the most disheartening things I've

done. I could only think of them as

"Lost" - because that meant they could

be found. So it is!

Thank you everyone for your

kind emails and calls. I may not be able

to respond to them all but, please know

that I'm very grateful for your positive

thoughts and care.

Love Val [Hearder]

June 26, 2008

ALMOST

I had a call this afternoon from

my textile friends who collected the

found quilts from the police. The police

wanted to photograph all the quilts be-

fore they released them.

It's not a complete retrieval.

None of my teaching materials, teaching

demos and slides have been included in

the haul. Further, I'd tucked some of my

small framed collages and landscapes

into my plastic teaching portfolios. They

are still lost. Still, I'm counting my

blessings and VERY happy to have the

most important pieces back!

The out-pouring of support

from everyone has been the biggest

blessing of all. I just can't wait to get

them safely home!

best,

Val [Hearder]

From Judy:

I was looking for Quilter, Judy Morn-

ingstar‟s website and images of her

„crooked houses‟ and came across this

site from Valerie Hearder. As I read

about that “Lost‟ poster I had tears in

my eyes. I thought all the Guild mem-

bers would like to know more on the

―Saga of the Stolen Quilts‖ so portions

have been reproduced here.

All info. was copied from the website:

Continued from page six Library Committee Report Make sure you place the completed form back in the pocket where you found it. We check for requests every week but do not place an order until requests total $40. This allows us to take advantage of FREE SHIPPING from Amazon. We ask only that requested books be of interest to many guild members. Check out the new addi-tions to your library! Thanks to all for returning and reshelving the books. The library helpers really appreciate your diligence. Keep on having fun quilt-ing and watch for more additions to the library in the next few weeks. Coleen and the library crew

A THANK YOU FROM NORMA

Thanks so much to every

one of the willing workers who fin-

ished ALL of the favors for Hands

Across the Water.

I counted (Blank) and

(Blank) today and tucked them

safely away until October. (Editor:

can’t tell everybody what we made!) . It says

a lot about our members that we got

so much done in such a short time.

I now have a bag of sup-

plies, which was leftover from your

donations. It will be left on the

"free" table for you to re-claim, if

you so desire, on Thursday April

2nd and Thursday April 9th.

Thanks again! Norma McNeillie

I keep telling myself it was for

the best, because Dorothy was becoming

so frail and would not have been able to

stay home any longer, that she went to

sleep with a good book and everyone

who knew Dorothy knew how much she

loved a good book At the last meeting

she was so happy to see the article in

Quilts Canada. She was overjoyed with

the scrapbook of the Tea. I think of all

these things and I am reminded of the

movie Fried Green Tomatoes. I am go-

ing to steal a line from that movie and

say "Dorothy was a Lady, and a Lady

always knows when it's time to go"

Having said all that, there is a hole in

my life that is not likely to fill up any-

time soon. Marie Trimmer

Tip of the Day: Taming the Ruler Frustrated by your rotary ruler wan-

dering when you are cutting fabric?

Keep that tool where it needs to stay

using two items you probably al-

ready have handy in your house.

Add a dab of clear nail polish on

each corner and at each end of the

ruler. Sprinkle with salt and allow

to dry. No more slips! Thanks to

Marlette0613 for sharing this great

idea. From Ricky Timms web "The

Quilt Show" Thanks to Claudette

REFRESHMENTS! FOR MAY Those members whose last

name first initial is:

M,N,O,P - please bring some

yummies to the MAY Busi-

ness Meeting

Remember to bring your

own MUG and $.50 if you

didn‟t pay $5 at the begin-

ning of the year.

From the Fons and Porter Calendar

TIP: Use Baking Parchment pa-

per to help you position and align

appliqué pieces prepared with fusi-

ble web.

Place the appliqué pattern

under the parchment translucent

paper, then position all pieces, and

fuse to the parchment paper.

When the paper cools, peel

up the entire appliqué design and

fuse it as one piece to your back-

ground block

Quilter's Horoscope (source: Pauline Rogers - Australian quilt instructor)

Thanks to Hope Rychkun

A humorous compilation of character traits of quilters according to their zodiac signs. Compiled by a quilting tutor

with over twenty years experience teaching patchwork and quilting and zero years writing horoscopes. By Pauline

Rogers

Aries - March 21 to April 20 Aries are adventurous and energetic quilters. They are forever looking for new ideas. The whole world to them is a palette of endless possibilities. Always confident, they use colour

schemes that others wouldn‟t dare consider. Their enthusiasm can cause them to lose track of time when

working on a project and they have been known to go days without sleep. Being impulsive by nature, they

generally don‟t bother reading the instructions for designs. Of course, as far as they are concerned the pat-

terns are just to give them more ideas. Aries have a talent for the arts and make excellent designers. They

don‟t follow techniques; they invent them. Their quilt designs are the envy of many.

Taurus - April 21 to May 20 Taurus is the quilter who always finishes a project, as they are persistent and determined. When attending workshops or using a pattern they will follow every instruction to the

letter. They can be greedy when it comes to their stash, as they know the value of material. They save

every bit of scrap. However, they are warmhearted and loving to such a degree that they have given away

nearly every quilt they have ever made. They are gifted artists, excelling at sewing, patchwork and quilt-

ing. The stitching in their quilts is of such high quality that their quilts will endure for eons.
