From the President

Judy Kriehn

Guild President

Well, here we are at the August 2014 edition of the newsletter. My last official column as Guild President. The last time you’ll have to endure one of my soapbox speeches. In this capacity, anyway.

The last couple of years have gone by a lot faster than I would have expected. I felt like I was flying by the seat of my pants most of the time, but I think we’ve accomplished a lot of good things during that time. In addition to the usual – successful quilt shows, interesting speakers, educational workshops – we have:

• Had the quilts in the Keeper Collection professionally documented/photographed

• Provided funding to help with the Maverick Quilts exhibit at the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame and Museum in Fort Worth

• Finalized the application process for the Helena Hibbs Scholarship • Approved additional funding for the annual Helena Hibbs Endowment Grants

so that we could make more deserving projects become reality • Updated the Guild Bylaws • Honored a number of members for their volunteer spirit via the Yellow Rose

Award, the Red Rose Award, and Life Membership

I’m confident that our incoming president, Bonnie McElearney, aided by the new Board, will likewise confidently lead the Guild as we accomplish more (as Martha Stewart would say) “good things.”

I’d like to take a moment of personal privilege to thank you all for making my terms so successful. Whenever I had a moment when my confidence was wavering, one of you would pull me aside and tell me how much you enjoyed meetings with me at the helm, how you thought I was a good president, etc. It’s a wonder my head hasn’t applied to be a giant balloon in the Macy’s parade…

I won’t be going far when I step down as president; just moving a few levels down on the “order of succession.” As you probably all know, I’m taking over the Dallas Quilt Show committee chairmanship/vice presidency. I hope you’ll be as supportive of my new responsibility as you were of my presidency.

Thanks, guys!

Judy

Mini Quilt Auction

Bonnie McElearney Mini Quilt Auction Chair

• Have you ever wondered what a “Mini” truly is? • What is the size of a “Mini”? • How does one put a sleeve on a “Mini”? • What about the binding on a “Mini”? • What is paper piecing and how do you do that on such a small quilt? • Where do I find patterns for a “Mini”?

You can learn the answers to all these questions at the annual Mini Quilt Workshop on October 18, 2014. Join us from 1 - 4 pm at Quilter’s Connection, 9658 Plano Rd., Dallas. (near the corner of Walnut Hill/Plano, just south of LBJ Freeway.) Seating is limited, so you will need to make a reservation by calling Quilter’s Connection at 214-343-1440. We look forward to seeing you there! The local charity who will be recipient of the 2015 Mini Auction proceeds will be decided soon! Thank you again for all your support.

Covers for Kids Pam Hanson,

1st VP—Community Service

It’s summertime, and too hot to do anything but stay inside … and sew! • Next Covers for Kids workshop is July 17th at Hancocks Fabrics near

Firewheel. Let Rhonda Anderson know if you can make it for the whole day (9:30 to 4:00 or so), part of the day, or just a few hours. Rhonda always has plenty of sewing ready, and all you have to bring is your sewing machine and sewing kit. CFK provides all fabric, and sewers mostly sew on borders to tops to make them larger (for pre-teens and teens) and sew together fabric for backings. [email protected]

• Challenge quilts will be judged at the August board meeting (August 28), so be sure to get your completed quilt to Rhonda Anderson before then. Those little green aliens are so cute, and CFK is sure to receive some really fun quilts.

• August 31st is the cut-off date for earning Community Service hours and your service pin, so if you haven’t already contributed 10 hours since September 1st, you still have time. Be sure to sign the service log at the Community Service table at the next meeting.

Our guild donates an average of 40 to 45 quilts each month to our three children’s services, and it’s only due to your generosity and efforts that so many children enjoy a beautiful quilt of their own. On behalf of these kids…Thank You!

Dallas Quilt Show

Judy Kriehn,

Not-quite-but-almost Show Chair

The 2015 Show Chair’s Theme category is “Funny Quilts.” If that’s a hard concept to wrap your brain around, then try using synonyms. Whimsical. Amusing. Comic.

Think about puns that make you laugh that you could illustrate with your block design. Jokes you could illustrate. Baltimore album style blocks you could design with non-traditional images.

Here are other “fun facts” to keep in mind: • While we have made steps to remove teeny-tiny quilts from other categories that

include large quilts, This category, due to the “theme” nature, will allow all sizes. However, if you are thinking about making an itty-bitty quilt, the reason the small quilt category was created was because really small quilts get lost when hung amidst much larger quilts. So, you would be doing your quilt a favor to recruit a few fellow quilters to make similarly small quilts, so they can be displayed together. (There is visibility in numbers!)

• Likewise, ginormous quilts are difficult to display. One section of pipe/drape “wall” is exactly eight feet tall and ten feet wide. While our hanging sleeve rules will keep an entry from dragging on the floor, width issues are a different story. The last time we tried to display a quilt wider than 10 feet, the weight of the quilt made the custom-cut rod sag in the center, and of course, the quilt sagged along with it.

Any individual entry can be constructed by one or more persons. In other words, in the “Show Chair’s Theme” category, an entry can be a one person entry, a two person entry, or a group entry.

Sunshine and Shadow

Suzanne Hardebeck, Internal Communications

Members are saddened by news of the recent passing of Peggy Lee, who was honored last year by the Guild as a Life Member. All will remember Peggy’s committment to the Show Office, following her many years of service in the Staff Lounge. Tonya Littmann’s quilt, "The Omelet Sisters" won the Corky Stukenbruck Award at the 25th Annual Visual Arts Society of Texas Members Exhibition in Denton. (See DFA news on page 7 for information on this exhibit.) ***Ed. Note: Please help Suzanne by sending her news of your friends and family. In particular she is hoping to hear from those whose quilts have been accepted into the Houston Show! We’d love to publish that list next month. [email protected]

Block Contest Judy Kriehn, not-quite-but-almost-VP-Show

Each year, the Guild hosts a member challenge called “Block Contest.” The blocks contributed are not only eligible to win cash awards at the Dallas Quilt Show, but they eventually make their way into a quilt added to the QGD Keeper Quilt Collection.

I am looking for someone (an individual, a duo, a group?) interested in chairing the 2015 Block Contest.

If the idea intrigues you, here’s what I need:

1. Your name/contact info (obviously) 2. A proposal, which should include:

• The theme • Components/Rules for the “challenge” that entrants would receive

The word “Challenge” can be approached from a variety of directions. Typically, entrants are given a packet that includes an explanation of the challenge, the rules, and if appropriate, fabric to be used. Usually, all of the blocks are to have the same dimensions, but not always. Usually a common fabric is provided for the background of the blocks. But not always. Usually, a small selection of fabrics is provided that must be (somehow) incorporated into the block, but again, not always. One thing is the same year-to-year, and that is that entrants pay a small deposit. When a completed block is turned in for judging, the deposit is returned. However, if the packet remains “at large,” the deposit covers the cost the cost of the packet materials. (We love you, but the Guild doesn’t need to finance building member stashes…) The Contest chair is given a budget to work with and the Guild will reimburse for all expenses.

Deciding on the “challenge” is part of the creative fun for the Block Contest chair. Figuring out how to incorporate the challenge into a (hopefully) winning block design provides the creative fun for the entrants. Win-win!

After the show, the block contest chair is then responsible for putting the blocks together into a finished quilt, which as mentioned earlier, will become part of our “Keeper Quilt Collection.”

The QGD Board will review the proposal(s) submitted, and make any needed suggestions to help ensure a successful challenge. Then – the contest chair will be turned loose to put the packets together and begin recruiting participants.

(Thank you Tonya Littmann for sharing your blue ribbon-winning blocks for illustrative purposes.)

Library News Marte Keller,

Guild Librarian

Quilt Embellishments It's not too early to think about entering a quilt in the 2015 Show. The theme of our 2015 quilt show is "Funny Quilts," and one way to do this might be through embellishments. Your Library has more than a dozen books that deal with many different kinds of embellishments: Melody Crust's Quilt Toppings: Fun and Fanciful Embellishments; Beading Basics: 30 Embellishing Techniques for Quilters by Mary Stori, and Ann Fahl’s Dancing with Thread are but a few. We’ll have these books and others on the Library table so you can take a look before the August Guild meeting. Stay cool and Happy Reading! Marte

A Reminder….

Our Guild year begins September 1! September meeting is the deadline to pay dues, so bring your membership form (page 12) and your check or debit/credit card to the August or September meeting. (Forms will also be available at each meeting.) If you prefer, dues can be mailed to:

Lut DeMeulder 16212 Ranchita Dr., Dallas TX 75248-3847.

Notes from a Curator Marian Ann J.

Montgomery, Ph.D. Curator of

Clothing and Textiles, Museum of Texas Tech

University

Turkey  Red  Fabrics      While searching for the new book accompanying the Charles James exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Amazon suggested that I might like the book Colouring the Nation: The Turkey Red Printed Cotton Industry in Scotland c 1840-1940. It took awhile to arrive, but what an interesting read! The companies that manufactured Turkey Red in the Glasgow area in the mid-19th century eventually came together to form the United Turkey Red Company. By 1960, the demand for their products was so low that they disbanded, but in 1962 they placed over 200 swatch books of textile samples and designs as well as company records at the National Museums Scotland. In recent years authors Stana Nenadic and Sally Tuckett dug through the thousands of swatches to produce an interesting book. I knew that block printing was used in the 18th century, but I thought that once the mechanical cylinder printing technique was developed block printing was abandoned—wrong! It continued into the late 19th century in both Glasgow and India. Because of the differences in how the blocks were used—the size of the blocks used in Glasgow were larger than those used in India—a great hint when trying to determine the origin of a block print in a quilt. I’m usually most concerned about red fabrics running when I prewash my quilting fabric. Not so in the 19th century. Turkey Red fabrics were especially prized for children’s clothing and women’s undergarments such as petticoats, because they were colorfast. The shirt David Livingstone wore on his travels in Africa, and which he was reputedly wearing when he met Henry Stanley, is a loose, collarless smock of Turkey Red fabric with white stitching on the front. The book also describes

“a large and spectacular quilt in the collections of the McManus Museum and Gallery in Dundee, which was made by Nicholas White of Dundee, a steward on a whaling ship in the late 19th century, whose quilt was constructed from over 100 differently designed textile samples, mostly in Turkey Red, taken from manufacturer’s pattern books. It is assumed that the quilting was done while White was at sea, and the design is one that was common in Scotland and Ireland at the time.”

Being from Dundee, the area where the Turkey Red manufacturers were, it is assumed he acquired the sample book of fabrics in his home area.

It’s Time to Update the

RESOURCE LIST!

Suzanne Hardebeck Internal Communications Chair

Did you know that each year the Quilter’s Guild of Dallas publishes a Resource List? It is a list of Guild members who provide quilt-related services to other Guild members and the public. Take a look! http://quiltersguildofdallas.org/Guild_Activities/2012-13_resource_list_final.pdf The list serves as a reference for anyone needing to hire someone for a given service. For example: a co-worker has mentioned wanting to have a t-shirt quilt made for a family member. A friend has acquired a quilt top made by a family member that they would like to have finished as a quilt. Perhaps you yourself are in need of someone to do some repairs/restoration on an old quilt you own. This list can help find the right person to accomplish the objective. Some of the categories included in the list are: Custom Quilt Making Longarm Quilting Teaching Quilt conservation Judging Appraisals Lectures Graphic Design Website Design There is no charge to be included, but you MUST be a member in “good standing” - that is, your membership/information has been paid/updated for 2014-15. If you are currently on the list, you simply need to confirm that with the editor (Suzanne Hardebeck) on or before September 30, 2014, and, if appropriate, include any changes needed for your listing. Listings that are not confirmed prior to September 30th will be deleted. If you would like to have your business added to the list, please send the appropriate information to the editor for inclusion. After September 30th, the names submitted will be double-checked against the membership list, and then the Resource List will be published on the Guild website. Send your confirmations, updates, inclusion requests, etc to: Suzanne Hardebeck [email protected]
