I’m not Sorry! My daughter in law told me the funni-
est story about one of her friends. They
were eating lunch along with several
other women. Andrea suddenly noticed
her friend very slowly and deliberately
buttering her roll. She buttered the
top, then the sides and carefully turned
it over and buttered the bottom. All
eyes were on her when she said, “Do
you know what I love?” Everyone
shouted out, “Butter?” Surprised, she
looked up and started laughing, not
realizing everyone had been watching
her. “Yes, Butter,” she laughed, “and
I’m not sorry, I’m really not sorry!”
I have not been able to stop thinking
about that. How often do we say
“Sorry” and don’t really mean it. We
often apologize for not being what we
think other people want us to be. For
instance, we were talking about our
favorite movies and TV shows the other
day. I feel like I have to lie when some-
one asks me that question, because my
favorite shows are highly questionable
and people might think I’m weird or
even not a good person. But I decided
to be honest and said “I love Zombie
Apocalypse Movies and TV shows”.
Everyone stopped talking and stared at
me a minute then burst out laughing. I
think they thought I was kidding, but I
soon convinced them. I’m not sure
what that says about me, but I’m not
sorry.
I love hot and spicy food. What that
means is that for most of my life I have
eaten what I consider to be bland taste-
less food, because my husband and
most of my children do not like highly
flavored food. Now, when I go shopping,
I buy medium or hot salsa for me, and
sometimes mild for my husband. We
usually end up throwing half of each
away but I’m not sorry.
I love HARD licorice, the red and black
vines. I take it out of the package and
put it in a drawer and wait for it to get
hard. I like it when it shatters when I
bite it. Sorry…..not sorry.
I really like Modern quilts. I have lis-
tened to enough conversations to know
they are not popular among my age
group. I can’t help it, they feel clean and
mindful to me. I love the beautiful ma-
chine quilting spaces. I’m just not sorry
about that.
I really appreciate hand quilting, I’m
awestruck by it. I treasure it. I honor
those who do it. I even occasionally do it
myself. But I LOVE the artistry and big
in-your-faceness of machine quilting.
This could make me totally unpopular,
but, I’m not sorry.
I love technology. I want the latest best
phone and computer and I want to know
how to work Facebook and snapchat and
Instagram and Photoshop and whatever
else appears on the scene. I’m not too old
to learn new stuff if I can find someone
to teach me. I’m not ready to retire my
mind yet. Sometimes my kids get frus-
trated when I ask how to do something.
I’m not sorry.
Be very honest with yourself. What do
you love? Don’t apologize unless you’re a
serial killer or something dangerous. In
that case run to the nearest police sta-
tion and mention how not sorry you are.

Most of us are just individuals, different in lots of
ways from everyone else, but still good people. The
more we accept and honor each other’s differences,
the happier and more honest we can be. We don’t
have to lie to be loved. Be truthful, and don’t be sor-
ry.
You’re the Best! And I’m NOT SORRY that I know you!!

President’s Message Continued
Heart Challenge 2016
By Krisanne Watkins
Are you aware that heart disease is the number one
killer of women in the United States? Heart Disease
is normally thought of as a man’s disease, however
about the same number of deaths in the female popu-
lation is attributed to this silent killer each year. Ac-
cording to the CDC, 65% of women who die suddenly
of heart disease have not recognized any symptoms.
Our 2016 Heart Challenge blocks will focus upon rais-
ing awareness of this disease. The monies raised by
the challenge will go to heart disease research. While
we have not yet chosen the exact study we wish to
contribute toward, it is our goal to choose something
that will directly impact women of Utah, with all of
the funds staying in Utah.
How can you help with this fund raiser?
Purchase one of the fat quarters. We have two
different fabrics available for purchase from
your Area Representative. The fabrics are the
same design, but of different color ways
containing snowflakes.
Make a block, 12 ½ inches unfinished (12 inches
finished) containing either one of the snowflake
fabrics. The snowflake fabric should be the back-
ground or part of the background of your block.
Add other fabrics as desired.
The block theme is “Winter Wonderland.”
You may use any method to create your block:
pieced, appliqued, embroidered, etc.
Turn your completed block in to your Area Rep or
bring it to Quilt Fest in September.
Blocks will be displayed at Quilt Fest. There will be a
Viewer’s Choice award with a prize attached. The last
day of Quilt Fest, we will be combining about 12
blocks, and then drawing winners from those who cre-
ated the blocks.
For those lucky enough to win blocks, we are hopeful
that you will complete this quilt before Quilt Fest
2017. These quilts will be hung, voted upon, with a
Viewer’s Choice award granted.
Thank you for supporting Heart Challenge 2016!
It is that time of year again when the Utah Quilt
Guild needs fill the positions of President Elect
and Secretary.
The President Elect position is an agreement to
serve three years. During the first year of this office
you are the Co- Chair of the Quilt Fest, while learn-
ing the other volunteer jobs within the guild. The
second year you will serve as President, and you are
responsible for the day to day operations of the
guild. Your third year is the fun year with the
organization of Quilt Fest and all the activities.
The secretary position is such a important position
within the Guild. The secretary keeps us all in line
and on top of things. She takes and distributes
monthly minutes, maintains files and assist with
Quilt Fest.
At the current time we do have two individuals that
have volunteered for the President Elect position,
Davidene Zimmerman and Josephine Keasler. In
next month’s Beeline I will provide a bio on
both candidates so you can get to know them a little
better.
If you are interested in running for either of these
positions please contact Cindy Hutchison 801-309-
6673, and I will have your name added to the voting
ballet.
UQG Voluntary Positions for the Upcoming Year

Has anyone else noticed that these mini quilts are get-
ting smaller and smaller? I don’t know what could be
smaller than a post card though. I’m going to have to
start going the other way!
Years ago I made a fabric postcard with tiny binding,
and a fabric back. I wrote on it and stamped it and
sent it through the mail. It arrived intact and I
thought it was super cool, but way too much work.
This is a much easier, faster method, and the post-
cards are tougher and more durable.
Supplies:
Fabric scraps
Your favorite fusible, mine is
Wonder Under
A post card sized piece of
Peltex which is a Pellon
product available at JoAnns. I
always use this when I make
bags, it is a very heavy inter-
facing. I get the kind that is
fusible on both sides. It is
pricey, so have your coupon
ready.
An index card. I used the 4 x 6 ones. Next time I plan
to try the 5x7 ones.
Instructions:
Cut your Peltex to the size of the index card. In this
case, 4x6 inches.
Apply fusible (Wonder Under) to any fabric you will be
using. I keep a small box of already fused scraps that
I have left over from other projects. Never throw
away a piece of fabric that has fusible on it!
For the house card, cut a back-
ground piece of fused fabric
slightly larger that 4x6.
Start drawing with your scraps.
You can put them on randomly
and make a modern art piece,
or you can make wonky houses
or stripes. There is no wrong
thing to do and there are no
ugly postcards. Just loosen up
and create!
When you are happy with
your design, fuse it to the
peltex and trim it to fit.
Quilt as desired. It needs
minimal quilting. I used gold
thread (It goes with every-
thing) and made a few lines of
quilting. On the striped one I
stitched each stripe. On the
house, I outlined the house
and stitched a vertical, curvy
line up each green plant, all the way to the top.
Stitch the index card to the back. Turn so the lines
don’t show. I just stitched close to the edge all the
way around. A decorative
stitch would look good also.
YOU ARE DONE! Write
the address, write a note,
put a stamp on it, and off it
goes. Some like to take it to
the post office and have it
hand stamped. That is a
good idea.
This was so fast and fun!
You could have a Fabric
Postcard Party, invite
friends, throw out a bag of
scraps and challenge everyone to make a few cards
using the same scraps. I’m excited already!
Have Fun!
Fabric Postcards

We are getting close to Quilt Festival and we’re so ex-
cited...taking great classes, all those vendors, and
most of all, meeting up with old friends. But please do
not lose sight of getting your Ruby Jubilee quilts
ready, especially if you are in charge of your group’s
quilt for the travelling show. Those quilts need to be
turned in to Barbara Walsh before the Saturday
luncheon. Barbara will be in the retreat area to collect
your quilts. You will need a sleeve and a label…
directions for both are on the website. Please go to
Events, then Ruby Jubilee. You will find an entry
form and directions for the sleeve. We need to have
entry forms for the chapter quilts for the travelling
show no later than September 1.
Right now we are getting the travelling show ready.
After Quilt Festival you will find more information
about the local/ individual shows…dates, locations,
entry forms, etc. But please keep working on them.
2017 will be “Quiltspacular!” and yes, I made that up.
Ruby Jubilee By Barbara Walsh

Quilt Fest reservations so if you need a hotel room I

Well, I’m willing to
offer up our Mr. Snow-
man standing on his
head anyway.
But, we do need your
quilts! Lots of quilts.
All of you have lovely
quilts. We’d love to be
able to exhibit them in
our show. You may
enter them for judging,
with cash prizes or for
“display only”.
Display only (non-
judged) entries are frreeee. So, if you like getting the
warm fuzzies of seeing your quilt hanging in the show
but are a little anxious about having your work judged,
just enter it into the display only/non-judged category.
Any quilt being submitted for hanging in the show
needs to be registered, please fill out the form on the
www.utahquiltguild.org web site and follow the in-
structions. This helps us keep track of your quilt while
in our safe keeping. See you at the “really big show”.
There are some super surprises in the making. Check
the Beeline next month for a few of them. They’re gon-
na be hum dingers! I just haven’t thought them up yet!
If you need further information call Quilt Show Chair-
person Josephine Keasler at 801-878-3397 or email me
Thanks in advance for your participation. Now for the
rules……….

Winner! By Kathy Porter
The winner of the Featherweight for 2016 is Karen
Coombs from Vernal Utah!
Karen has been seriously quilting for about 20 years
and belongs to the “Quilters on the Edge” group. She
is married and has three children and 8 grandchil-
dren. She is blessedly retired! I’m sure that means
she is busier than ever before. She loves sewing ma-
chines and has a collection that includes her Grand-
mother’s pedal machine. That is a very special honor.
She is thrilled to
death to add one
more!
Congratulations
Karen!
With Quiltfest getting closer and closer, be sure you
are working on your Ugly Christmas Sweater! This
will happen on WEDNESDAY evening 5:30-7:30pm.
Sign up to be a participant before 5pm. Winners
will be announced at 6:30. Can’t wait to see your
sweaters!
Ugly Sweater Contest and
Vendor Party By Kathy Porter
I just finished a couple of small quilts and decided
being in where it is cool right now is kind of nice.
Hope you have an idea in mind to make a mini quilt
for QF. It is coming up so fast and will be here be-
fore we know it. There have been some cute and fun
quilts turned in so far, but we need lots more. Let
me know if I can be of any help.

Glorious precision, flamboyant design, high-
impact color selection these are the hallmarks of
Deb's spectacular quilts! Step right this way to
the spikiest, most precise points ever. This dy-
namic half of the “Quilt Mavens” duo will show
you how. At Quilt Fest learn Deb's step-by-step
instructions for the most error-free foundation
paper piecing ever. The dynamic and complex-
looking designs are easily constructed. No 'Y'
seams, guaranteed. Deb Karasik, the Paper Piec-
ing Queen of the Quilt Mavens pair, is known for
her intricate, spikey designs and her method that
ensures ease and accuracy.
Check out the pictures of her Quilt Fest class,
#102, in red, white & blue colors for July. (There
is still space in her QF classes #102 and #302.)
Deb is always sharing her expertise in everything
quilty. She said, “As I travel around teaching, lec-
turing and judging quilts, I find the one common
component they all share is binding. I find that
many quilts could be improved with better bind-
ing techniques. So…. in an attempt to remedy the
situation, I’ve put together this little tutorial. I
hope it helps those who need it, and will help im-
prove bindings for all quilters out there who are
willing to take the extra time to do them. Not only
will it look fabulous, but your quilt will hang
straighter when bound this way.”
Go to http://www.debkarasik.com/userfiles/file/
DebKarasik_Binding_1.0.pdf to see the complete
lesson.
Thanks for sharing with us Deb!
Wow, I am starting to receive some of the cutest
Christmas Stockings that members have decorated.
The Christmas stockings will only be available until
August, so you still have time to get one or two to deco-
rate. Either hand it in at Quilt Fest or give it to your
Area Rep so we can enter your name into the drawing
for the sewing machine. Remember all of the Christ-
mas Stockings are going to the children at our local
hospitals.

The first of the hum dingers is that Ronda Lopez,
owner of Nuttall’s is generously giving everyone
who enters a quilt(s) into the Utah Quilt Guild
Quilt Fest Quilt Show, a $10 gift certificate.
That’s a free gift certificate that can be used to-
wards the purchase of any regular priced item at
any of the 4 Nuttall’s stores. You don’t have to
purchase anything more than $10 to use this cer-
tificate. One gift certificate, per person, submit-
ting a quilt(s). The certificate will be awarded
with the return of your quilt(s). This is a onetime
use certificate and will not have any cash back
value. If you’re submitting a group quilt, you will
receive one (1) gift certificate. This will defray
the cost of entering your quilt in the judged category.

mer finds us with family and vacations, so CCQG
takes it easy! Typically we head to the Panguitch
Quilt show up the road for the day! In July we are
going to discover the easy paper piecing process and
make a stained glass project! We have completed
36 black drapes to hang on our quilt racks. We
have completed 50 “Clothes Protectors” (bibs) for
salad picnic in the park before the afternoon meeting
which featured a trunk show by Cheryl Tuttle. They
finished their day with the Tip of the month, the last
block of the month, and show and tell. There will be
no meeting in July and they are looking forward to
their retreat to Brenda Bailey’s cabin in August.

Raising Kane Quilt Guild: June was a great month
at the Raising Kane Guild Meeting. Along with our
normal meeting and business, we enjoyed the quilt
histories of two of our talented and long-time quilters,
Addie Lou Vaughn and Pamela Young. We love to see
the quilt treasures brought in each month and to hear
a little bit of quilt history to go along them. Raising
Kane Quilters welcomed yet another new member to
the guild in June—Cindy Romrell. We are so excited
that she and her talents are joining us.
The energy from our May meeting continued on into
June as we concluded our day with a demonstration on
paper piecing by Micky Robinson and a great tool bag
class taught by two of our talented and creative mem-
bers. They were all great teachers and we so appreci-
ate their preparation and work for our guild. Ten
quilters participated in the bag class and they came
with pre-purchased patterns and fabric cut and ready
to sew. We had a great time and many made great
progress.
We are so excited for our July meeting. We will enjoy
a lecture and lesson on antique quilt preservation and
restoration by Dianne Cram, a passionate advocate
and expert on the subject from Pennsylvania. We are
thrilled that she is willing to come share her
knowledge and love of quilts with our group. Last, but
certainly not least, we are in full swing preparing for
the Western Legends Quilt show on August 25-27,
2016. As always, there will be beautiful quilts on dis-
play for all to enjoy. Come and see the show!!!
Dixie Quilt Guild members enjoyed a trunk show
from Emily Bailey of Aunt Em’s Quilts. Emily’s quilts
were awesome! Following the trunk show, they en-
joyed a pot luck luncheon, which signifies the start of
the summer break from guild business. No meetings
are held in July and August. But members anxiously
await show-n-tell in September to see all the progress
made by quilters.
Save the date for the Dixie Quilt Guild Quilt Show and
Classes – April 12 to 14, 2017.

The Heber Valley Quilters enjoyed having Davidene
Zimmerman come and show them many different ways
to make a square in a square block. A fun show and tell
and goodies were enjoyed by all. Barb Murdock ac-
quired many yards of lace at an estate sale and
shared the same with the members of all three guilds
in the Summit area. The Heber Valley Quilters will
be working on Quilts of Valor during their July meet-
ing. The quilts will then be donated to local service
members.
The Kamas Quilt Guild met at the home of Pat
Lewis for a fun pot luck dinner in June. They will not
be meeting in July or August. They also enjoyed go-
ing through the hundreds of yards of lace and ribbon
that Barb Murdock shared with them.
The Midway Quilt Guild had a demo in June, by
Cindy Williams, on making stack and whack blocks
that will be used in making Quilts of Valor during
their July work meeting. The guild was the lucky
recipient of $1500.00 from the Midway Boosters and
the money will be used to buy fabric for these quilts
and also for the making of clothing protectors for the
local assisted living and rest homes.

tact Karen Olsen at 801-362-1365. They will not have
any meetings during the rest of the summer.
The Strippers are also taking a break for the summer.
The Utah Valley Quilt Guild is keeping busy this
summer with their June Meeting which was on June
15, 2016. They had a trunk show by Denise Snyder and
her daughters who have helped design fabrics for Riley
Blake. The Annual July Quilt Fair will be on July 20 at
Wadley Farms Castle in Lindon. They will have a quilt
display outside in the vineyards by the castle. They are
looking for lap size, wall hanging size, or crib quilts. If

is July 19.
Also the annual Springville Quilt Show at the

guild's meetings are held the second Thursday at
7:00 at the Millard County School District Office.
All are welcome. At our June meeting, we were
treated to several different demos on disappearing
blocks- 4-patch, 9-patch, and pinwheels. Several
unique settings were shown and members were
asked to bring any quilts they had using these types
of blocks to share with the guild.
We also got the next two blocks in our guild quilt
along. Those that completed the previous months
blocks showed those and it was fun to see the differ-
ent fabric choices. This is a great project.
A big thanks to Peggy Overson! She has graciously
accepted the challenge of doing a paper pieced table
runner project and teaching our guild ladies how to
paper piece. We were instructed to bring 4 pieces of
fabric. Our first bit of homework is to cut pieces for
the entire project and complete 4 blocks for next
month.
Next month we are doing an all machine binding
technique and a machine applique demonstration
for beginners. A make and take is also on the sched-
ule but more details are unknown at this time.

may fray and break – if it is too high, the resulting
liveliness in the thread may cause snarling,
looping, knots or spillage. After much research and
experimentation, Aurifil has found the best
processing to avoid these kinds of mishaps, to the
great satisfaction of quilters.
The Weight: The yarn count expresses the
thickness of the yarn. The yarn count number
indicates the length of yarn in relation to the
weight: “the finer the yarn, the higher the
number”. The yarn number for cotton yarns is
based on the number of 840-yard hanks in a
pound. The convention for indicating plies: two-
ply 50 will be 50/2 and will be twice the weight,
length for length of single ply 50 yarn.
Dye: Before dying any cotton, we need to
proceed to its mercerization. What is
mercerization: it is a treatment for thread
mostly used to give cotton a lustrous appearance.
. Mercerized cotton is a cotton thread that has
been treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
The thread is given a caustic soda bath that is
then neutralized with an acid bath. This
treatment, after removing all impurities and
fuzz, increases luster, strength, affinity to dye,
gives resistance to mildew and also reduces lint.
Cotton with long staple fiber lengths respond
best to mercerization.
Why Aurifil threads do not tangle or break: Aurifil
is very careful with the twisting and finishing
process, which eliminates thread fraying and
tangling and we all know how important this is to
quilters!

Go Sew, PatSloan.com
How Do Aurifil Threads Meet Quilter's
Expectations? ... Very Carefully.
There are 4 very important criteria:
The Origin of the Raw Materials: The term
“Egyptian cotton” is usually applied to the extra
long staple cotton produced in Egypt and favored for
the luxury and upmarket brands worldwide. Cotton
was introduced to Egypt in the 19th century, where
the weather conditions and the rich soil enabled the
production of better long stapled cotton. Nowadays,
the Egyptian Mako cotton is recognized as the best
in the world. Cotton is currently cultivated in 20
countries around the world, but for our type of
product, we use the classified Egyptian thread and
particularly the extra long staple quality. For
Aurifil customers, the Cotton Mako philosophy is a
guarantee of the pursue of the best cotton harvest
grown annually in the world, taking into
consideration: - staple length - fiber thickness - good
maturity. Aurifil is constantly in touch with
producers, which enable them to select and
purchase the most excellent crop grown in the
world. It is very important to choose the cotton
seeds: they are usually chosen between the long
staple cotton (seed with different characteristics
originate different type of cotton) along with the
production area, as climate and soil all together
with humidity and heat, influence the development
of the harvest. The limited production of Extra Long
Staple cottons, particularly the ones suitable for
cotton Mako enhances its exclusivity.
The Twist: In spinning, separate fibers are twisted
together to bind hem into a stronger, long yarn.
Characteristics of the yarn vary, based on the material
used, fiber length and alignment, quantity of fiber
used and degree of twist. What does “twist” mean: The
direction in which the yarn is spun is called “twist”
and the yarns are characterized as Z-twist or S-twist
according to the direction of spinning. Tightness of
twist is measured in TPI (twists per inch or turns per
inch). 2 or more spun yarns may be twisted or plied to
form a thicker yarn. Generally, hand spun single plies
are spun with a Z-twist and plying is done with a S-
twist. Twist is the force that consolidates the fibers
and plies of thread. If the twist is too low the yarns
