Hi Everyone,
Well, summer is here along with the wind.
What is your skill Level? I found this in one of my Quilting Magazines;
Beginner
A beginner is a quilter who has been introduced to the basics of
cutting, piecing and assembling a quilt top and is working to master these
skills. Someone who has the knowledge of how to sandwich, quilt and find
a quilt, but may not have necessarily accomplished the task yet.
Confident Beginner
A confident beginner is a quilter who has pieced and assembled
several quilt tops and is comfortable with the process, and is now ready to
move on to more challenging techniques and projects using a least two
different techniques.
Intermediate
An intermediate quilting is a quilter who is comfortable with most
quilting techniques and has a good understanding for design, color and
the whole process. An intermediate quilter is one who is experienced in
paper piecing, bias piecing and projects involving multiple techniques.
They are confident in making fabric selections other than those listed in
the pattern.
Advanced
An advanced quilter is a quilter who is looking for a challenging
design. Someone who knows she or he can make any type of quilt.
Someone who has the skill to read, comprehend and complete a pattern,
and is willing to take on any technique is an advanced quilter. They are
comfortable in her or his skills and have the ability to select fabric suited
for the project.
So whatever level you are: I challenge everyone to try something that is
just a little harder; it just takes confidence to try to get better. So just
challenge yourself to
move to the next level and you will be surprised at what you can do.
Happy quilting during the summer months.
Keep smiling
Dianne

DID YOU KNOW… Antler, North Dakota is home to the World’s Largest Historical Quilt. It is 85 ft. x 135 ft. and was sewn together in 1988 in the shape of North Dakota. It contains blocks representing all 53 counties. More than 7,000 people worked on the quilt.
The quilt is too large to display and is therefore in storage. Leona Tennyson, coordinator of the pro-ject, is now deceased and her children and daughter-in-law are trying to find a home for the quilt.
New Satellite Group
Seven quilters met at Quilter's Eden and have established
a modern satellite group! The group, as yet unnamed,
will meet at 6:30 pm on the third Thursday of the month
at Quilter's Eden. At this time, we are willing to add
about five or six members so if you are interested, please
join us on June 16 or contact Suzanne
([email protected]) for more information.
We feel there may be interest for a modern group which
would meet during the day. If you are one of those inter-
ested in a daytime modern satellite group, please start
the ball rolling and form a group! Contact Suzanne
([email protected]) if you'd like names of those who
were interested in the daytime group.

Treasurer’s Report A Note from the Editor
I admit it, I’m an addicted organizer. I can only go so long
before I have to stop and organize. I did so a couple of weeks
ago and was surprised by some of the “gadgets” I had stored in
plastic containers...tools I never use. I’m not much of a gadget
gal and when something catches my eye and I grab it I’m most
often disappointed, I tend to stick with the basics. Hopefully
someone in the guild finds a treasure among my
disappointments on the freebie table.
That being said, I just saw a new product for the applique quilter
that has my attention. Charlotte’s Fusible Thread by Superior
Thread Company. It goes in the bobbin and fuses your applique
without having to fuse the entire design (you can watch a video
on thequiltshow.com daily blog for May 13, 2016). It looks
interesting and I might have to try it. Here we go again.
Meanwhile, if you see a gadget on the freebie table, remember
that what doesn’t work for one quilter is a must-have for the
next and I’m happy to recycle. Of course, I check the table to
see if there is something I can use….I can always bring it back
in a few months.
