2005

January ~ we had Roxanne Bowling from Down Home Quilts, Dumas Texas. Roxanne has been quilting since the mid 80's. The morning lecture was Memory Quilts ~ incorporating photos in your quilts. In the afternoon workshop, Roxanne scanned our pictures onto muslin with her ink jet printer and gave us instructions for a star photo quilt wall hanging.


April 30, 2005 ~ Anita Krug, West Lafayette, Indiana

Lecture:  Traditions Recreated

The traditional log cabin and four patch are wonderful and graphic. Anita has created a program with traditional antique quilts and new versions as she has played with the blocks.  One log cabin quilt changes across the surface becoming a flying geese pattern and on to a pineapple log cabin. Includes a trunk show.

Workshop:  6" x 6" Color Play $15

A great way to explore quilt patterns and working with color. Begin with a pallet of six-inch squares, cut, rearrange and allow them to work together. This is the beginning of many new patterns, working with color and a new approach to creating in a playful way.

Supplies: Sewing machine, neutral thread, 24-28 6-inch square of fabric (use a pallet of colors that work together), scissors, rotary cutter, mat and 6" or 8" square ruler. The fabrics with textures, tones, or hand-dyed look work well.

 

July 30, 2005 ~ Margaret Miller, www.millerquilts.com

 

Lecture:  Looking Ahead ... With Margaret J. Miller

A refreshing lecture (all quilts, no slides!) which is an inspiring view of what it means to be a quiltmaker in the 21st century. More than just how to store fabric and find time to quilt, this is a chance to take a look at "the big picture" of how quiltmaking fits into - and fuels - our lives. Many old and new quilts made by Margaret illustrate the lecture.

Workshops:  There will be an all day Friday workshop on July 29, 2005 (9-4) and then a half-day workshop after the lecture on Saturday, July 30. (Fees TBA later)

Both workshops will feature "Easy Pieces Workshop ~ Creative Color Play with Two Simple Quilt Blocks"  In this class based on Margaret's book by the same name (C&T Publishing), students work with two versions of a simple, template-free, "wedge-pieced" block. Both the block and its mirror image are cut at the same time. The blocks are made quickly, and create many quilt designs depending on how they are placed on the design wall. After doing guided block arrangements which teach moving value and color across the pieced surface, students will develop their own Easy Pieces quilt using one or both versions of the block.

Supply List:  In addition to regular class supplies, bring Acrylic straightedge (6"x24"), Rotary cutter, Straight pins, Six-inch acrylic square, Fabrics - bring 8-10 values (dark through medium through light) in EACH of TWO color families. Bring about 1/2 yard of each fabric. ***If you are taking both workshops, bring 8-10 values of a third color for the next workshop.  (NOTE: You need not buy all this fabric new: pull from your fabric collection first and fill in value gaps with new fabric. You may bring two similar fabrics and us them as one of your 8-10 values in a given color family. The greater number of fabrics you bring, the more flexibility you will have in the workshop)

** If you have questions about the supply list you may go to her website listed above and find the workshop and click on "supplies"
 

October 29, 2005 ~ Sisters' Scraps Quilt Shop, Amarillo, Texas.  Please note that this will be a very exciting, busy meeting. In addition to Sisters' Scraps, we will also be having the Log Cabin Challenge and then over the lunch hour (12-1) we will have a Small Quilt Auction.

Lecture:  Color from the Heart, by Kathy Martin

Learn how to give equal importance to color and fabric personality. It's easy to effectively use the colors you love in your quilt making. With Kathy as your teacher, you'll learn to rely more on your intuitive color choices and less on other people's opinions of "what looks right." Gain more color confidence in this session with Kathy.
 

Workshops: Choose one or visit all three (class fees & supply lists TBA later)

1. Wool Make & Take ~ Kathy Bailey

2. The Buggy Barn Technique ~ Debbie Sims

3. The Fastest Lone Star in the West ~ Janice Joyner

The "Sisters" of Sisters Scraps will also have a vendor booth for our shopping. Stop by their booth and check out the on-going demonstrations in their booth:  No Math Flying Geese Ruler and Pineapple Ruler (eliminates paper foundations.)

SMALL QUILT AUCTION ~ The auction will feature 20-30 small quilts made by our own members presented for your bidding. This is a fabulous fund-raiser for our Club that showcases our group's amazing talent.

2006 PROGRAMS ARE IN THE WORKS!

Ellen Grice is working very hard to get them secured.

 

Here's a little hint of some of the fabulous programs Ellen is working on.

 

More information will be available at the October 2005 meeting.

January 28, 2006 --  Free Multiple demo/workshops. What better way to get more acquainted with fellow Timeless Treasures members than to work and learn with them side by side. As usual this will be a fun-filled day so bring your closest friends and join in.  No class charges.

April 28 & 29, 2006 -- Mark your calendars now!! You will not want to miss this meeting date.  Debbie Caffrey, self-published author of 9 quilting books, numerous patterns, and over 100 mystery quilt patterns will be here from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Debbie, author of "Open A Can of Worms", "Noodle Soup", "Power Cutting", "Power Cutting II" along with 5 other books will be conducting an all day workshop on Friday, dazzle us with a lecture on Saturday morning, followed by a totally different workshop on Saturday afternoon.  Space is limited so don't wait until the last minute to sign up.

July 29, 2006 -- Our own Dr. Beverly Meyer of Texhoma, Oklahoma will be giving the morning lecture on "Threads".  The afternoon workshop will be a fantastically fun time as Bev conducts hands-on fabric dying out front on the lawn.  If you sign up for the workshop come dressed in old clothes so you can:  play in the water, maybe get a little dye on them, but what you'll end up with to take home will be well worth the time. This afternoon workshop might be more fun than finger painting in grade school.

October 28, 2006 -- Challenge quilt time!  Wonder what the challenge might be?  Who will be the big winners?  Ellen is working on a great program that everyone will be able to participate in... mmmmm, wonder what it is?  Come to the January meeting to find out!

Morning Program Our own Anna Mayer of Guymon, Oklahoma will be presenting an enlightening morning program entitled "COLOR MAGIC".  Anna will share her wonderful expert eye for color as she leads us through her visions and variations she uses to pull colors together to create "COLOR MAGIC" in her paintings and quilts.  Not only will we get to hear and learn from Anna, she'll also show us some of her magical color creations that we'll get to examine "up close".  Anna is one of the most knowledgeable ladies in our area when it comes to color and just how to put it all together to create magnificent works of art on canvas as well as in cloth as you will see in just one of her creations to the right.
Afternoon Program President Helen O'Hair, Elkhart, Kansas and her trusty sidekick Temple Reed, Rolla, Kansas will be in charge of the afternoon workshop, a "NO-PEEK NINE PATCH" quilt.  Come prepared to have a blast as these two ladies are always up to something "different" and they'll keep you in stitches, not only at the sewing machine but also in trying to keep your sides together through their antics. We'll make the blocks at the January meeting, and then in October bring your finished quilt for all to see.  We'll let the membership vote to see which quilt gets the special prize!
*  Bring 300 -- 2 1/2" squares of quality fabrics which will make 32 blocks, enough for a full size quilt, (we'll be mixing everyone's squares together so please provide quality fabrics and mix your squares up, don't try to keep them sorted into like fabrics.  It will make it easier to mix them when we put them all together.  When we pull these squares out to sew we want to get a wide variety of fabrics.) *  The wider the variety of fabrics the better. *  Come prepared to participate and have a lot of fun.  If you don't want to sew at the meeting, then bring your squares, mix them in with the groups, draw from the pile, put into a bag to take home, but remember, this is a "NO-PEEK" project so don't look when you sew them together -- just pull them from the bag and go!

April 27th, 2002
	Our special guest will be Elsie Campbell of Dodge City, Kansas. Elsie grew up with a needle in her hand making her first quilt when she was 7 years old.  Since then, she has made many award-winning quilts in addition to many for family and friends.  She is a free-lance writer and editor for "Quilting Today, Traditional Quiltworks, and Miniature Quilts" magazines and for Rodale Press' line of quilting technique books.
Morning Program The morning program will be "EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK".  Elsie will be showing sewing supplies and tools that come from unexpected places: the kitchen cabinet, office supply stores, lumberyards, and even the hardware store!  Learn how to use these tools to make quilts easier and quicker. (And perhaps, even more beautiful!) Some of Elsie's beautiful quilts that were on display:
Afternoon Program Elsie's presentation will be 'EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT PATTERN DRAFTING (BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK)."  In this program Elsie will show you how to use unconventional things like string, coins, cups, saucers, wallpaper, and even your left thumb to create patterns for piecing, templates for appliqué and stencils for fancy feather-quilting designs.  Learn to draw a hexagon, 60-degree diamond and perfect 5-pointed stars without the aid of a ruler or calculator.  All skill levels. The cost for this 3 hour workshop is $ 15 per person and has a 25 person class limit so sign up early. Elsie will supply written instructions, motifs, and worksheets for each enrollee. To help Elsie prepare for this workshop you must sign up and pay the workshop fee at least 10 days in advance. Contact Carol Nash to sign up.

October 26th, 2002
Note new location: Nazarene Church, 2214 N Sunset Lane, Guymon, Oklahoma The meeting will be held in the basement. The meeting will start at 10:00am
The Morning Program will be filled with voting, prizes, and maybe some surprises too! Challenge Quilt time  Particulars, rules, regulations, and categories as be announced at the January 26th meeting. Bring your "NO-PEEK NINE PATCH" quilt started at the January meeting. The membership will vote as one quilt gets a special prize! Afternoon Program - Three totally different demonstrations:
Twilling specialist, Mary Jane Fast, will demonstrate an age old technique called twilling. Mary Jane tells us that twilling is thought to have originated in Russia. Even though twilling is sometimes compared to candlewicking and uses similar thread the stitch produces a much different effect. Mary Jane's twilling has produced many award winning quilts and pillows. If you're looking for a new, quick, and fun to learn technique that is also easy to carry in your purse or work on in the car as you travel you won't want to miss out on Mary Jane's twilling!  More information will be published in the newsletter.
Jeanette Funderburg, our current 2nd Vice-President, will demonstrate her new Handi Quilter that she says is wonderful for quilting those small fun projects. And Sandra Sims of Amarillo will demonstrate Origami Quilting.
