News from the Chair Dear Members Welcome to our newsletter. Make yourself a cup of tea and enjoy the read. This issue is full of interesting bits and pieces, as well as very important quilting information. Ek kan nie glo dat ons al oppad is na die middel van die jaar nie. Ons het sover ‘n ongelooflik besige jaar gehad. In Februarie was die Vriendskapsvergadering en die Groepleiers ete. Gedurende Maart het ons Nasionale Kwiltdag gevier met ‘n gratis kwiltklas. Almal wat daar was, moet asseblief hulle sterre kwilts saambring om te wys. En dan was daar Elaine Barnard se klas waar ons die mooiste krale en borspelde gemaak het. Our postcard project for the Transplant Games is running well and we have received some beautiful postcards. Thank you to all who have contributed so far. We are looking forward to seeing all those still to be handed in. Please make an effort to make a postcard for this worthwhile cause. At the next meeting, please make time to look at our albums. Lorraine has gone to a lot of trouble and they are looking great. You might just recognize your own quilt there! Please wear/bring your quilted bags, hat, scarf, jacket, skirt or even shoes! Our theme in June is Wearable Art. Moet ook nie die Show and Tell vergeet nie. Ons gaan modeparade hou en baie pret hê! Congratulations to the Centurion Quilters on a very successful exhibition. They also hosted the Tri-Nations Challenge between Korea, South Africa and Japan. Through these efforts we are getting more and more recognition as quilters. There are two BIG quilting events taking place this year. We have the National Quilt Festival taking place in Bloemfontein from 1 – 7 July. Al die inskrywings moet nou al daar wees en ons hoop dat die Jakaranda kwilters baie goed sal vaar. The other event is the IQCA at the Emperor’s Palace (6 – 8 September). Bookings for classes are now open. Thank you to everyone for sending us possible venues. We have now looked at 13 and so far have not been able to find a suitable venue. The one we think will work is unfortunately not available for this year. Therefore we have to fall back on the Wierda Park venue, namely the DR
Church in Piet Hugo Street, Wierda Park. We have so much to talk about and to chat to you about that we cannot wait to see you all at the June meeting. I imagine you feel the same about your friends that you too only get to catch up with at the Friendship Meeting. Ek sien baie uit daarna om julle die 8e Junie te sien.
Groete, Ina Meyer

Submitted by Corrianne van Velze - JQG representative to SAQG
1. The National Quilt Festival
Arrangements for the 2013 Quilt Festival are progressing well and we hope that a large group of JQG members will be attending this enjoyable event. SAQG will, for the first time, have booth at the Festival where Regional Guilds can advertise their Guilds and general information will be made available to the public. Members are asked to assist the SAQG by doing duty at this booth. If any member who is going to the Festival, is willing to assist by manning the booth for a few hours during the week of the festival, please contact Corrianne so that I can put you in touch with the organiser of the booth. Your assistance in this matter will be most appreciated.
2. Book on Quilting in South Africa
This project is nearing its end and should be ready by July so that it can be launched at the Festival in Bloemfontein. We are all looking forward to seeing the final project!
3. SAQG website
The website appears to be running well, since the Chairperson of the Guild receives many enquiries through the website. A teachers list has been posted on the website and can be accessed by all guilds and individual members. Visit www.quiltsouthafrica.co.za.
4. European Patchwork Meeting
Elsa received about 75 quilts for consideration and she has sent the photographs off to SAQG judges for their opinion. I hope that some of our members have submitted photographs of their quilts. Please contact me if your quilt has been chosen to go to France so that we can publish this in a forthcoming Newsletter. Please visit the official EPM website www.patchwork-europe.com for pictures and information.

5. Travelling exhibition
As has been decided, quilts for the Travelling Exhibition will be chosen from quilts entered at the NQF 2013 in Bloemfontein. Doreen Crause will send a “Permission to travel” form to all the quilters concerned. SAQG judges will select quilts that will travel easily and these quilts will not be returned to the artists after the NQF, but will be stored in the Gauteng area until the launch of the exhibition at IQCA on 6 September 2013 where after they will travel the country.
6. IQCA and Free to Express Challenge
The second IQCA will be held at Emperors Palace in Johannesburg from 6 – 8 September 2013. The main attraction this year will be the celebrated singing quilter, Ricky Tims and the teachers will be Lisa Walton (Australia), Patti Hempen and Barbara Olson (USA) and Wilna de Beer (RSA). For more information visit www.iqcafrica.com Barbara Robb is coordinating the volunteers for the IQC Africa. If you would like to be a part of this exciting event, then volunteer to help in the following area: WHITE GLOVE ANGELS Responsibilities: 1 hour shift patrolling the exhibition hall to ensure the integrity of the artworks on display.
This will be on a first come first served basis. Barbara can be contacted on 072-122-7656 or [email protected] SAQG together with the sponsors IQCA, has launched a challenge, Free to Express with prize money of R15,000! The quilts that are accepted, have the opportunity of being exhibited at IQCA 2013 and will also possibly travel. The closing date for entries was 2 April and the photographs of the quilts need to be submitted by 30 June 2013.
7. Membership numbers
Each individual member of SAQG (that includes all the JQG members) will receive a unique number which will identify them when registering for National Festivals or entering their quilts in national competitions. You will be receiving this information as soon as the process has been completed.

Getting to Know …
Erla Cilliers – Courses My name is Erla Cilliers (born Combrink), and I have had a passion for
sewing, handcraft, and such things from a very young age. My sister and I
used to sew clothes for our Barbie dolls by hand, from the dress fabric
scraps that my mom threw in the dustbin (at least they were not quilt
fabric scraps!)
All credit for my love of sewing needs to go to my mother, who is still a very industrious
seamstress at age 73. She taught us all the handcrafts of the day - knitting, crocheting,
hand embroidery, and more, so I can do all that, but... when I saw a colourwash quilt in my
stepmom’s house in Stellenbosch for the first time about 14 years ago, I was instantly
hooked, and still am.
The quilt bug fully invaded my house very quickly after that, and I have since given up
making clothes. I now make only quilts, with a little appliqué and embroidery, as far as I
need those skills to finish a quilt! I prefer non-traditional quilt designs, or traditional with
a twist, but I would not call myself an art quilter, just one who likes to bend the design
rules. I love working with bright, vibrant colours on a dark background – must be Cape
mom’s influence!
Expressing myself through quilting and being creative with beautiful fabric is one of my
biggest joys in life! :-)
Tracy Jackson - Treasurer I have always found quilts appealing and thought that quilting would be
something to look forward to during my retirement. However, life seldom
goes as planned!
When I took my sewing machine in for service in 2004, there was talk in
the shop of quilting classes starting in the near future so I signed up
immediately and my quilting journey began.
Thanks to Hannetjie Koekemoer my passion for quilting was ignited! I do prefer traditional
quilts but have been ‘forced’ to widen my quilting horizons by the enthusiasm of Ethelda,
Ina and co, to whom I am most grateful.
I look forward to serving on the Jacaranda committee as the next stage in my quilting
journey.

Chatelaine www.perioddrama.com
The word Chatelaine ("shaht uh len") is derived from the Latin word meaning castle. It refers to the lady who, in the medieval times, was in charge of the day-to-day castle functions. The chatelaine ordered supplies, did the bookkeeping and supervised the servants. She also taught the children who lived in the castle and served as a guide to the guests. One of her most important responsibilities was to keep the keys to the castle. Because the chatelaine kept the keys, she needed a place to put them where they would be safe and accessible. By the 17th century a metal jeweled ornament, called a chatelaine, was a popular practical organizing device. It hung from a pocket or attached to a person's belt. Dangling down from the chatelaine would be a few chains and hooks. Keys, a pen, and a note-pad were among the things that could be carried on the chatelaine. The chatelaine, also became a fashion accessory that was often given as a wedding present from a husband to his bride. Sewing and needlework were an important part of a young girl's education and these accessories were ideal in organizing notions. Chatelaines were made of silver, brass, steel, leather, or fabric, depending on the financial status of the household. There was a decorative clip that attached to the waistband with three to seven long chains with clasps suspended from it. Toward the end of the 19th century, dresses with no waist line (and no place for a chatelaine) became fashionable and the waist chatelaine developed into the brooch type and the fabric type worn around the neck.

National Quilting Day/Nasionale
Kwiltersdag: 16 Maart 2013
Ina Calitz writes: Nooit in my wildste drome het ek gedink dat ek
as Kapenaar so ‘n heerlike dag in Pretoria sal beleef nie. Dit was ‘n
wonderlike belewenis om saam met sowat 30 kwilters in die kerksaal in
Lyttelton onder leiding van Ina Meyer ‘n “Floating Star” kwilt te leer
maak.
Met al ons lappies reeds uitgesny , masjiene bedraad en opgewonde
kwiltersgees, het ons weggespring, beplan, gestik, geknip, gelag en
gekuierpraat terwyl Ina ons lappies se naatjies blitsig platgestryk het.
Die sterre het begin vorm aanneem en na tee en heerlike “cupcakes”
(dankie Almari!) het ons die sterrye begin wys en almal het ge-oh en ge-
ah oor die mooi rye wat besig is om klaar te kom. Elkeen op ‘n ander
manier besonders.
‘n Heerlike oggend het tot sy einde gekom en almal van ons het die
opdrag van ons “teacher”, Ina, gekry om dit klaar te he vir ons Junie
Jakaranda vergadering! (Daar is ook belowe dat ons op ‘n later
stadium n miniatuurkwilt met die klein driehoek oorskietstukkies sal
maak. Ek glo baie van ons sien uit daarna!)
Wilna du Toit writes: Where do I start? Do I start with the excitement of experiencing the
discovery of the Quilters Guild and their Committee Members? Do I start with my utter relief
when discovering the quilting fabric shops? Do I start with the adventure of choosing fabrics and
cutting them for the Quilters Day project? Or do I start with the glorious feeling of contentment
I experienced whilst sharing a few peaceful hours with wonderful women and fabulous life stories?
I think, in trying to see God’s quilt, it might be the wisest to start with the above mentioned
questions all at once. Whilst living in Kuwait, a fellow South African (Chrissie) introduced me, to the
Kuwait Textile and Quilters Association and my Pakistani Quilting Mentor (Aiesha), thus leading to
many other interesting memories. Quilters Day felt like a family of
women, sharing a passion for difficult maths, beautiful fabrics, and
precision cutting, which would, ultimately,
result in a rainbow of floating stars. How
wonderful to have been part of it and to
have met you all!
On 16 March about 30 quilters gathered in the church hall in Lyttelton to learn to make a Floating Star quilt, under Ina Meyer’s instruction. Everyone came prepared with cut fabric and were soon off to a flying start with Ina helping to quickly iron fabric as required. After tea and cupcakes, rows of stars started appearing and Ina asked that the quilts be completed for the June Guild meeting.

Die Werksmandjie Tuisgroep Hannetjie Koekemoer
Ons vergader elke eerste Vrydag van die maand in Die Werksmandjie te
Kilnerpark.
Ons los mans, kinders, kleingoed en sorge tuis en geniet hierdie dag voluit.
Vertoon en vertel is ‘n hoogtepunt. Daar word gespog, idees uitgeruil, vergelyk en geniet.
Ons besluit oor die volgende projek of kursus – dis nogal ‘n gewigtige besluit!
Na konsensus is almal begeesterd en spring vol lewenslus aan die werk – tot die volgende
vertoon en vertel. Elke keer is dit ‘n ander ervaring.
Piecemakers Kwiltgroep Elizabeth de Jager
Ons is ‘n groepie wat al ‘n hele klompie jare bymekaar kom. Lede het getrek en een vir wie
ons ‘n troos-kwilt gemaak het is oorlede. Lieflike vriendinne het weer by ons aangesluit.
Ons kuier elke 2e Woensdagoggend in Faerie Glen vanaf 9:00 tot so 11:30. Met
verjaarsdag gaan ons na die verjaarsdag vrou se huis toe en word bederf met heerlike koek
Ons Logo Anita werk dat die rook trek Aneme, Saret en Thelma hard aan die werk.

en tee. Ons gee ook elkeen R20,00 in ‘n koevert vir haar net om ietsie spesiaals mee te
koop.
So tussen die vrolike gesels en opregte omgee vir mekaar gee ons raad, deel wenke en doen
pragtige kwiltwerk en soms ietsie besonders vir ‘n kleinkind. Hierdie jaar het ons sommer 3
projekte wat so teen die einde van die jaar voltooi moet wees. Met een projek maak ons
seshoek blommetjies wat ons gaan uitruil - almal sê dis nogal verslawend maar hulle geniet
dit so! Die ander twee moet ons klaarmaak en dan kom wys. Almal is baie opgewonde en
hard aan die werk.
Ons sluit die jaar af met ‘n lekker ontbyt en ruil "Fat Quarters" uit. Fransie se kleindogter
was baie verbaas dat ons lap uitruil maar ‘n kwilter sien moontlikhede as sy ‘n lappie kry - of
wat praat ek nou!
Ons groepie is: Valerie Cotton, Elizabeth de Jager, Lily de Sousa, Christna le Roux, Leonie
Mc Callaghan, Isabel Ravenscroft, Annatjie Snyman, Fransie Spies, Dorothy van Zyl en
Martha Wouters.
Kom kuier gerus een Woensdag by ons.
Postcards
for World Transplant Games
As you are aware, we’re making 4” x 6” Fabric Postcards for the World Transplant Games to be held in Durban. They must please be handed in at the Jacaranda Guild Friendship Meeting on 8 June 2013. Let’s make LOTS of postcards for this huge event which takes place from 28 July to 5 August 2013!
“The World Transplant Games 2013 are being hosted in South Africa in the sunny city of Durban! Recipients who have received life saving organ transplants from more than 55 countries worldwide will compete in various sports in the hopes of winning Gold, Silver and Bronze medals for their country! The games celebrate the triumph of the human spirit and the hope that is behind every transplant.
The games will host 13 different sports codes at various venues around Durban.

Courses Erla Cilliers
Ek hou baie van geleenthede om nuwe goed te leer en nuwe ervarings te hê en ek moet erken kursusse waar kwilters betrokke is, is ekstra lekkerte, omdat ons almal dit bywoon met ‘n lied in die hart omdat ons wil, nie omdat ons moet nie (soos dalk met ‘n werkskursus). Om nie eens te praat van die kwiltvriende kuier terwyl mens iets nuuts leer nie! Die goeienuus is dat daar nog een so ‘n lekkerte geleente is is na ‘Festival’ hierdie jaar, waar Hester Meintjies op 14 September vir ons gaan leer om ‘Country Dolls’ te maak – die skattige lappoppe op die foto hieronder. Hester is ‘n talentvolle onderwyseres en mens leer gewoonlik soveel meer as net die kursusinhoud, kortpaadjies en nuwe maniere om klein naaldwerk probleempies op te los, so uit en uit die prys werd! Die kursusfooi vir Gildelede is R160 plus R80,00 vir die kit, en vir nie-lede R320 plus R80, vir die kit. Die kit is genoeg vir een pop se lyfie, en jy moet jou pop se klere self verskaf. Die registrasie vorm en besonderhede van betaling is op bladsy 16.
I love opportunities to learn new things and I must say quilt courses are extra special because we attend them by choice (unlike some work courses sometimes) and therefore with a song in our hearts! And then there is the nurturing of quilters friendships which take place whilst we learn! The good news is that there is one more opportunity after Festival this year. Hester Meintjies will present a class to make the pretty Country Dolls on the photo below, on the 14th of September. Hester is a talented teacher and one usually learns a lot more than just the course content. One often also gets solutions to little sewing problems or a shortcut to do something better - so all in all worth the money! The course fee for Guild members is R160 plus R80 for the kit, and for non Guild members R320, plus R80,00 for the kit. The kit is enough to make one doll’s body and you will need to buy fabric to dress your doll. You will find the registration form and payment details on page 16.

hierdie geval was dit sommer net ‘n doodgewone “WOW!”. Dit is presies hoe die kursus op
Saterdag, 9 Maart saam met Elaine Barnard was.
Elaine showed us how to make different kinds of fabric
beads, using all kinds of scraps and threads - from silk,
cotton, voile, organza and even all your little off-cut
pieces of yarn and threads. Absolutely anything goes.
We soon realised that the more colourful and contrasting
the fabrics, the prettier the end result.
Na middagete en ‘n welverdiende koppie tee, het ons
geleer om borspelde te maak met Elaine se bekende gesiggies. Dit was beslis ‘n prettige
ervaring. Ek dink ‘n paar van ons was so bietjie onseker in die begin, maar toe ons eers
wegtrek, was dit soos om weer met ons Barbie poppe te speel. Die lekkerste is dat die
gesiggie lewe kry sodra jy met die aantrek begin. O ja, dan moet sy nog ‘n hoed, krale en
oorbelle ook kry!
I have declared War on Waste in my sewing room, as the World Of Wearable arts opened
to me So keep your eyes and ears open to What’s On Where – you might miss out on a
World Of Wonders waiting to be discovered.
What could be more
enjoyable and rewarding
than spending a Saturday
with quilting friends and
learning new skills? I
think I speak on behalf
of all who attended the
course in thanking Elaine
for presenting this
“WOW!” course to us.

JQG SHARE AND CARE Jeanette Botha
As Jacaranda Members we are going to get involved in helping at Eljada House in
Daspoort. Currently these people are preparing over 1000 meals monthly and there
are women who make articles daily to sell. There are a few sewing machines
available but skills are required to teach these ladies to use these machines to
their full potential, and to teach them new techniques.
We would therefore like to ask ALL our members to help in the following ways:
Please contact Jeanette on 083 964 4335 or [email protected] to become
involved in this worthy cause. JB
-------------------------------------------------------
Following a request from Samuel who runs the Centurion Art Gallery, a class
arranged by the Social Workers near the Gallery was presented to a group of
ladies on 23 March 2013. This took place in the hall right next to the gallery.
Kits were planned and made for 25 people. Bernina donated the fabric and thread,
and Jacaranda Guild sponsored scissors, needles, pins, thimbles and pencils. I made
notes and 2 templates for each person. The seven ladies who attended made a
hexagon cushion and thoroughly enjoyed the class. Men turned up too, but they did
not know that it was a sewing class!
We hope that this will be the first of many. JB
1. Please bring a packet of soup or tinned food to the June
meeting.
2. Any fabric that can be used to make cushions, bags or items to
sell will be appreciated, including fabric sample books.
3. Time – if you have time to give to teach the women at Eljada
House new techniques, then contact Jeanette Botha who will
draw up a roster.

Centurion Quilters Exhibition
The Tri-Nations Challenge quilts were displayed with the Centurion Quilters’ quilts in the Art
Gallery adjacent to the Lyttelton Library. Quilts from Japan, South Africa and Korea were on
display from 18 – 27 March 2013. These ninety small 50cm x 50cm quilts depicted 30 World
Heritage Sites from around the world, as interpreted by 30 quilters in each country. The public
and the media showed a great deal of interest in this exhibition, and in the quilts made by members
of Creative Hands and the Centurion Quilters. TdP
QUILTING FOR AFRICA Sheila van Dyk
Would you like to be part of our journey to try to break the current world record for the
world’s largest quilt? Currently the largest quilt is around 26 000m². In order to break the
record we would require around 11 000 quilts. I have applied to the Guinness Book of World
Records (GWR ref 400035) and we are now on our way and already have 200 quilts.
Please join our Facebook Group called QUILTMANIA2015 to follow our journey and take
part if you would like to.
For practical reasons, I have decided to make single bed quilts which we will sew together,
and donate and sell the individual quilts after we have met the record.
What we need:
1. 11 000 SINGLE BED QUILTS – SIZE 45” x 65”
2. QUILTS SHOULD CONSIST OF A PIECED TOP, BATTING AND BACKING
3. QUILTS CAN BE MADE IN ANY PATTERN, COLOUR or FABRIC BUT MUST BE QUILTED
OR TIED THROUGH ALL THREE LAYERS
4. THE OBJECTIVE WOULD BE TO BE SELL or DONATE THE END RESULT. THE FUNDS
WOULD THEN BE USED TO START AN OUTREACH CENTRE TO TRAIN LADIES OF ALL
22
WALKS OF LIFE IN THE ART OF QUILTING, SEWING, KNITTING, EMBROIDERY AND
NEEDLEWORK.
Any unwanted orphan blocks, quilt tops, fabric or batting would be appreciated. Perhaps you have a
contact who wants to throw out old fabric sample books, please tell them about our project.
Together we will be able to put South Africa in the Guinness Book of World Records.

MAAK ‘N VERSKIL BERSIES!!!! Gerda Grobler
Verlede jaar (2012) het iemand op Facebook 'n voorstel gemaak
van blokke wat mense kan hekel of brei en dit dan na iemand stuur
en daardie persoon sit dit aanmekaar en deel uit aan behoeftiges.
Ek het onmiddelik ingewillig.
So het dit dan begin dat mense vir my blokke begin stuur het en ek begin het om blokke aanmekaar
te werk om komberse te maak (bersies) - MAAK 'N VERSKIL BERSIES.
In 2012 het ek Bersies uitgedeel by Olievenhoutbosch Disabled Organisation - fotos regs en onder.
En nou in 2013 maak ons bersies vir die inwoners van die Margaretha Ackerman Tehuis in Pretoria
Wes. Daar is ongeveer 200 Oumas en Oupas wat daar bersies nodig het. Op die oomblik het ek 50
bersies, en kort dus 150 voor Junie wanneer ek hulle wil gaan uitdeel.
As jy dalk betrokke wil raak, kan jy hekel- of breiblokke maak en aan my stuur. Ons gebruik
dubbeldraad (double knitting) wol en no 4mm / 5mm naald. Jy kan die blokke in jou eie keuse van
kleur maak. Hekel blokke van 8 of 10 rye werk baie goed en gewone Granny Square Patroon. Brei
blokke kan so ongeveer 20 x 20 cm wees. Hoe groter hoe beter. As jy nie kan hekel of brei nie kan
jy dalk ‘n kwilt of kwilt top (enkelbed grootte), of “orphan blokke” skenk. Enige wol donasie sal ook
waardeer word as jy nie kans het om te hekel of brei nie.
Ek het ook ‘n FB groep begin, naamlik MAAK ‘N VERSKIL !!!! http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/301036419977674.
As jy ‘n verskil wil maak in iemand se lewe raak net betrokke! Kontak my asseblief indien jy wil help.
Baie Dankie

In 2012 Gerda responded to a suggestion that blocks be crocheted or knitted and put together by someone, and to be given to charity and this is how her “Make a Difference” project began. Crocheted and knitted blankets were given to the Olievenhoutbosch Disabled Organisation and other charities. In 2013 the Margaretha Ackerman Home for the Elderly is being supported and 200 blankets are required for the residents in this home by June 2013. To become involved, knit or crochet blocks, or blankets, make quilts or quilt tops, donate wool or orphan blocks. Contact Gerda for more information (details above).
