June 2018 Program
Lynne Hagmeier The Kansas Troubles name has been familiar to
thousands of quilters and especially those of us from
Kansas. So it is especially exciting to have the creator
of Kansas Troubles Lynne Hagmeier, speak to us at
Guild and offer a workshop the following day. Lynn
has created hundreds of quilting patterns, published
2 dozen books (five in a series of historical quilts as
well as quilter’s journals) & designed over 50
collections of fabric with Moda.
Lynne learned to quilt over 25 years ago at a
local quilt shop in Salina, Kansas while working their part time. In 2000, Moda
fabrics offered Lynne an opportunity to design fabric for their growing company.
What a thrill for her to create a line of fabrics in exactly the colors you want and
then make a quilt she herself designed with that new fabric! In 2001 she and her
husband Robert sold their house and moved to a restored two-story brick building
in Lynne’s childhood hometown of Bennington, Ks, to expand her studio and offer
Quilting Getaways on the weekends. Lynne and Robert travel several times a year
to quilt shop and guilds across the country to offer programs and workshops from
her quilt books and patterns. Check out her books, patterns and teaching schedule
here. We have only a few openings in her workshop with us. http://
www.ktquilts.com/index.htm
Lynne and Robert have 6 grown children and 8 grandchildren to love and spoil.
Lynne is most generous with sharing her creative ideas with fellow quilters and you
can find free patterns on her website here. http://www.ktquilts.com/free-
patterns.htm
Meeting Location Due to ongoing construction work at the Senior Center, we are meeting at
the Scottish Rite Venue 332, 332 E. First Street, Wichita. (First and Topeka)
Free parking to the north of the building and along the street.
Paid parking across Topeka to the East.
Visitor Fee We have a $5 fee for
visitors to our meetings.
The fee does not apply to children.

With the temperatures we’ve been having this past
week, I think we can safely say that summer is indeed
upon us. I was hoping for spring this year, but we went
from winter right into summer.
Summertime as a child was always fun with water
balloon fights, swimming, camping and softball. Is it just
me or is it hotter, earlier every year? My AC has been on
for weeks. My family is gearing up for our Christmas va-
cation. We are renting a house in Shell Knob, MO for a
few days this month. 18 people in a 3400 sq ft home
should prove interesting. My hope is that it doesn’t end
up like a Chevy Chase Christmas vacation!!
Are you planning a vacation? If so I hope you have a
wonderful time and enjoy this great country of ours.
There are so many things to see and do. I have found a
neat website: www.Onlyinyourstate.com If you go to the
website you can click on any state, sign up for the news-
letter for the states you plan to visit and find out about
hidden gems that you may not have even heard about.
They might even be near a quilt shop, you never know!
Are your quilts all ready for the quilt show? Are they
labeled? Have you put on the sleeve? It will be here be-
fore you know it. Have you signed up to be a volunteer at
the show? Remember, the quilt show proceeds pay for
our speakers and venue rental for the next two years. It
takes many hands to pull this thing off properly. Please
sign up and do your part to make this our best show ever.
Have you turned in your mini quilt for the Mini Quilt
Auction? The monies raised go for the grants given for
the next two years to promote the teaching of quilting.
Maybe you have an idea for teaching a group to quilt. Go
to our website and fill out an application to be considered
for a grant. It’s really easy to fill out. Just think, you
could be teaching the next generation of quilters who will
win at Houston someday.
This is our birthday month. Prairie Quilt Guild was
started in June of 1982. We are celebrating our 36th
birthday. Oh to be 36 again. Maybe then I could get
more quilting done. What started with just about a hun-
dred members has grown to nearly 600 today. We have
Parking At the Meeting You have probably noticed that parking is limited at the
Scottish Rite! Some options:
• Organize a carpool with friends
• Park across Topeka Street, but please remember to
pay the $2 fee for your parking space as the fine is
$25 (more than year of $2 fees)!
We are working on other solutions, but for now sharing
the ride is probably our best option.
our founding members to thank for this group of talent-
ed folks getting together each month to continue to learn
about quilting. We have come so far in the quilting
world. New methods of doing things has helped me get
more of my bucket list done. How about you? Are you
checking things off your bucket list?
Have a great summer. See you at Guild June 12th.

Directions for Finishing QuiltSetting Pinwheel Blocks: (6 blocks)
Cut 12 – 4” squares – background
(light) fabric
Cut 12 – 4” squares – color (dark) fabric
Draw a diagonal line on light fabric.
Place 1 light and 1 dark fabric, right sides together. Sew on each
side of diagonal line. Cut on diagonal line. Trim to 3 ½ ”. Make
24 half-square triangle units. Use 4 units for each block to form
center pinwheel.
Cut 12 – 3 ½” x 6 ½ “ strips – light (background) fabric
Cut 12 – 3 ½ “ x 12 ½” strips – light (background) fabric
Attach 3 ½ ” x 6 ½ ” strips to opposite sides of pinwheel
block. Press towards strip.
Attach 3 ½ ” x 12 ½ ” strips to opposite sides of pinwheel/
strip block. Press towards outside strip. Make 6.
Accent squares: (feature fabric) – cut 14 – 12 ½ ” squares.
Setting triangles: You may use the same fabric as the back-
ground, or you may choose a complimentary color (I used the
same dark fabric that I used in my pinwheel blocks).
Cut 4 – 18 ½ ” blocks – cut each twice diagonally.
You will use 14 triangles (2 will be extra).
Corner triangles – 9 ½ “blocks – cut
each one diagonally.
The access & corner blocks are slightly oversized and will be
trimmed when quilt is finished. (If using a different size block,
you may find charts on the internet for different sizes).
Lay out the triangles and corners with your blocks. Begin
sewing the quilt into rows starting at one corner. Your first row
will have one corner block, two large setting “wing” triangles,
and the corner triangle. Your second row will have three blocks,
two wing triangles…etc. Each row will get larger as you get to
the center of the quilt. I assembled the quilt rows together from
each corner until there were two halves of the top….then sewed
the two halves together in one long seam.
After the top is together, use your ruler and rotary cutter to
trim the edge of the quilt ¼” away from the corners of the
blocks at the quilt top edge. This gets rid of all the dog ears
from sewing the rows together too.

rimeter (40 X 40)

Charity Quilts
Quilting Buddies
Since many of us are finishing up last minute details
for the Quilt Show, I thought I would take this time to
share some lighthearted reading. I’ll take a break this
month and get back to bugging everyone to work on a
charity quilt after the show.
This month, I would like introduce my quilting buddy.
This is my cat, Felix.
I’m sure many of you have a pet that enjoys your
sewing almost as much as you. They are good company,
never complain about the pattern you choose, don’t fuss
over color combinations, and they aren’t picky about
your stitching.
When Felix knows I’m headed to my sewing room or
hears the hum of the sewing machine, he comes saunter-
ing in to check out my latest project. His favorite way to
help is to “knead bread” to check the loftiness of the lay-
ering! Many times, he’ll find a quilt piled up on a bed,
make a nest and take a cat nap. He even has his own
“cat quilt” that he sleeps on at night. But while I’m
cutting, sewing or ironing, he enjoys hanging out with
me. He’ll watch intently or provide amusement by play-
ing with loose threads.
Whether it’s our pet, spouse, friend or bee group, it’s
great to have a quilting buddy (as well as be one to some-
body else). Quilting buddies bounce ideas off each other,
encourage each other and provide comfort when that
project just doesn’t turn out like you expected.
Happy Quilting!
Cindy Wolf
