April Brings: Linda Schmidt “Short Attention Span Quilting”

This “Basic Quick Resume (for those with truly short attention spans)” submitted by April’s speaker, Linda Schmidt describes her quilting style. “I come from a long line of quilting women and started my first quilt when I was eight years old, have made almost all of my own clothing since I was twelve and have made hundreds of quilts since then, having won over 300 ribbons from local, national and international quilting exhibitions. I teach quilting nationally and internationally, do trunk shows with both quilts and garments, am a Finance Technician II for the City of Dublin, was a member of the Alameda County Art Commission for six years and Chairman of it for two years. I am a musician, a composer, an active member of Amador Valley Quilters, IQA, and AQS, and was a founding member of the Network for Wearable Art. I have four part-time paying jobs, three children, one husband, a five-bedroom house I clean myself, three flutes, three guitars, a piano and a B. A. in French that suddenly ceased to be totally useless. In my spare time, I write really bad poetry and am trying to learn sign language. The bottom line is that there is nothing I like better than to talk to people about quilting, unless it is making quilts and wearable art or beading jewelry. I have an eclectic taste in quilts and quilters, an insatiably inquiring mind and a sincere desire to help others learn what they need to know in order to do what needs to be done. So, welcome to my world!” GQG welcomes her to our world!

Another Great Meeting! Our March speaker Joe Cunningham was wonderful. Everyone enjoyed his singing and guitar playing and his story of how he got his start in quilting. We are looking forward this month to having Linda Schmidt with her program, “Short Attention Span Quilting”. Many of us will relate to this subject! Can’t wait to hear what she says!

We come to the meetings for two main reasons: listen to the speaker and socialize with our friends. The business portion is necessary in order to run the guild, and your board members are working diligently to keep you informed and take up as little time as possible. We ran over time a little in March and will work harder to keep board reports to a minimum. For those who were looking forward to stadium seating, we plan to do stadium seating in May. Workshop The workshop with Linda Schmidt will be a blast. “Creating with Cool Stuff” is an adventure that will stimulate your creative juices. It will expand your horizons as a quilter and build your repertoire of techniques to use in the future. Sign up now and don’t miss out! Congratulations! Congratulations to An Burgess for winning the March opportunity basket! A big thank you goes to Cindy Abrams and Cindy Tanaka for putting the basket together, and Denise Koch and Monica Carrillo for selling tickets. Donations for these baskets help offset our guild expenses allowing us to offer the great programs at our wonderful location. Cost of Doing Business Every now and again a member will ask why we need fundraisers, as we have money in the bank. The past two years our operating costs have slightly exceeded our income, which has caused us to dip a little into our reserve. At our April meeting Kathy Fogel will give a brief overview of where we spend and why, so everyone who attends will have a clear view of how the Board sets a budget and meets the Guild’s fiduciary responsibility. Thank you to volunteers for leadership next term. Leanne Compean and her nominating committee have worked hard to fill the slate for next term. Thank you to all who have accepted. If you still want to be on the Board or part of a “job share” – several chairman positions can be shared – please contact Leanne. See you in April! Happy Quilting, Colleen Shier President

Loving Hands At the March guild meeting, we had 39(!) finished quilts turned in. Evette & Lou Gallo were responsible for ten of the completed quilts. Others were completed by Hester Bell, Joliene Blanchard, Joanne Brown, Lisa Burroughs, Crystal Dudley, Cathy Euler, Kathy Fogel, Mary Jamora, Denise Koch, Annie Raycraft, Alice Turner and Sherryl Zurek. Additionally, regarding our camper quilt project, 172(!) camper quilt blocks were turned in at the guild meeting. Of those, 26 were made long distance by guild member Julie Bloomdahl using her own fabric and mailed to her brother, Tim Spinn, to turn in at the meeting. The makings for the remainder blocks were all adopted either at the guild meeting or at the Loving Hands session two days later. We also had camper quilt tops turned in at the meeting (made by Kathy Fogel and Colleen Shier) that immediately went out the door with those who would quilt them. Yay! And Susan Graham turned in our first three completed camper quilts (see the photo on page 5), which she made with her sister. Remember that Loving Hands now meets the third Friday of the month. So in April, the regular work session will be on Friday, April 20th at the WAC from 10 am – 3 pm. We hope to see you on the 20th!

There are 5 categories: Scrap, Fall (think fall colors, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Dia De Los Muertos), Applique, Christmas Time (think Hanukkah, Christmas, Winter), and Quilting Outside the Box (a chance to show those very personal quilts that don’t fit in other categories • Submit a “chicken” quilt for a special exhibit at Hester Bell’s chicken coops. Forms are available at the general meetings. • Keep working on your Challenge Quilt (more ribbons to win!). There will be challenge information at the March meeting if you have not picked up your supplies. • Join us for our next team meeting: Tuesday, April 10, noon at WAC.

Block of the Month Success

The past three months worth of stars has inspired many members to complete their blocks and bring them to the general meetings for Show and Tell.

The star patterns are available on the Guild’s website and you can pick up the month’s patterns from Kathy Fogel or Leanne Compean at the general meetings. The last star will be finished in October and you can use November’s workshop to design a fitting and exciting border.

Please see page 7 for this month’s star pattern.

Summary of Joe Cunningham’s Workshops Comments from quilters at Joe Cunningham’s workshop: “A fun day with day with Joe – loved the experience. And as a bonus, I learned how to make a great easy facing. Yeah!” “I learned 2 great things: How to use unexpected color and a great alternative to binding a quilt.” “ I had fun learning a creative way to piece squares. And the class was very relaxing.” “ A really enjoyable sew and sing day!” “Joe provided a perfect atmosphere for creating a unique design. His instructions were clear and easy to follow. His music was mellow yet invigorating.”
