This year, we voted to have a pizza party, and I love pizza, so I, for one, am looking forward to this! Various members are also bringing salad and deserts, so there will be plenty to eat! Yum! I had been planning on doing one of my yummy deserts, too, but yesterday, I discovered my oven is on the blink--it won't turn on at all! So, unless I bring something from the store...<br />
<br />
We also do a Yankee Swap, which is a blast. We put a $20 limit on the item, which has to be quilt related and wrapped up prettily. The way we run it is everyone who brings a gift gets a number. We go in order. They then get to either keep what they picked from the gift table or trade it for something someone already picked. After everyone has picked, the first person who chose gets to trade, if she so desires. Sometimes, there are some hot trades going on, let me tell you!<br />
<br />
Our meeting in November was fun as we had a special presenter, Louise Pankiewicz. She is a certified Quilt-in-a-Day instructor and she brought a number of her quilts and presented us with a trunk show of them. She also brought patterns, tools, etc and we had a fun time in the mini-store. She also informed us she would be hosting a Retreat at the Hampton Inn in Coventry soon. 3 days of sewing, chatting, sharing and learning. Sounds like a fun time!<br />
<br />
We also had a Sewing Bee on November 17. This is not a Bee in the old sense where everyone sits around a framed quilt and quilts the layers together. Everyone brings their own supplies and works on their own projects. The fun comes from sharing what we are working on and getting help. For example, after I sewed a couple of strips together, we determined they needed to be in a different order and a couple of the other ladies actually took a couple of the strips away to 'frog' them for me. This is what a community does. They help each other.<br />
<br />
So...<br />
<br />
Wednesday, December 12, is our next meeting. Come hungry. Bring your own drink. Bring a desert, if you like. Don't forget your Yankee Swap gift. The Fat Quarter theme of the month is "Silver Bells."Bibliophilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13123997616716503301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759860007610747931.post-20257876000374357042018-08-24T20:10:00.000-04:002018-08-24T20:13:58.246-04:00A New Year-A New Resolve!Oh, my.<br />
<br />
I just looked to see when the last time anyone had posted anything to our blog actually was. I knew it had been a while, but...<br />
<br />
5 years?!<br />
<br />
Well, things have to change.<br />
<br />
We are planning on taking our Social Media presence a bit more seriously here at IRQG.<br />
<br />
We are turning over a new leaf with the start of a new year.<br />
<br />
We have a new slate of officers and Executive Committee who have planned the coming year with many exciting and interesting activities and we are anxious to see everyone after the summer hiatus.<br />
<br />
We are also anxious to meet new friends and invite any who may be interested in sharing the traditional and non-traditional skills of quilt making and other crafts. <br />
<br />
Meetings are held on the<b> 2nd Wednesday of the month</b> (except for this September, when we will meet on Tuesday, September 11, due to the Primary elections) at the Smithfield Congregational Church, 514 Smithfield Avenue, Smithfield, RI. Yearly membership is $25. Current members should pay this as soon as possible. Visitors are allowed to come once or twice before having to pay membership.<br />
<br />
The doors will open around 6:30 for Meet-and-Greet and the meeting will get underway around 7:00. Members are encouraged to bring examples of their work for Show and Tell. Various members bring refreshments, as they have the opportunity to do so, however, be aware that we have been doing BYOD (Bring Your Own Drink) for the past couple of years. Everyone seems to like it better as everyone gets what they like! We are usually done by around 9:00. <br />
<br />
Everyone who comes in the door and signs in gets various raffle tickets for drawings at the end of the meeting. Drawings are for Attendance, having your Nametag, bringing a Fat Quarter, bringing items for the Food Pantry, bringing tea Tags and Can Tabs, bringing covers for Hasbro, Show and Tell and, finally, the Basket. Most of the drawings win Fat Quarters from the Guild FQ Basket. If you win the FQ drawing, you win all the FQs brought that evening. <br />
<br />
I started putting notes in the paragraph above "See below for details," but realized I was doing it for every item! So! Let me give you a few more details on each of them:<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: blue;">ATTENDANCE</span><span style="color: black;"> We ask each person, member or visitor, to sign in when they arrive. This helps us keep track of who is there each month. If you are visiting for the first time, you will be asked for contact information, also. This is simply so we can follow up with you. WE DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY CONTACT INFORMATION TO ANYONE.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">NAMETAG</span><span style="color: black;"> Each member is asked to make their own version of the official Guild nametag. There is a pattern for it in the membership folder. It is based on the Waterwheel block and can be made in any size. However, it should be large enough to be seen and to have the Guild name and your name along the sides.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">FAT QUARTER</span><span style="color: black;"> Each month, members are encouraged to bring one or more Fat Quarters. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">The member who wins this drawing wins all of the FQs brought to the meeting that evening. The choice of the FQ is</span> based on a color or theme announced ahead of time. The actual choice of the FQ is up to the member's interpretation of that color/theme. The FQ Team have been busy beavers this year and composed a musical theme:</span></li>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: black;">September "See You in September"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">October "Monster Mash"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">November "Thanks for the Memories"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">December "Silver Bells"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">January "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"</span><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">February "My Funny Valentine"</span></li>
<li>March "The Wayward Wind"</li>
<li><span style="color: black;">April "Singin' in the Rain"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">May "Strolling in the Park"</span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">June "The Rose" (yes, by Bette Midler)</span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="color: blue;">PANTRY</span><span style="color: black;"> Members are encouraged to bring shelf-steady, non-perishable food items that can be donated to a local food pantry.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"></span>TEA TAGS/CAN TABS</span><span style="color: black;"> Collect all those tea tags and can tabs. They are brought in and given to a charity which converts them to cash to help people with medical needs.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"></span>HASBRO</span><span style="color: black;"> We ask members to help Hasbro's young patients by making covers for their IV bags. These are two simple rectangles with one open end and a small opening in the other. The nursing staff cover the blood bags with these to help the youngest patients be less frightened. They need a LOT of these bags as they can only be used once and have to be discarded after use, so the cheerier the better for the little ones. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"></span>SHOW AND TELL</span><span style="color: black;"> Show us your skills! Show us what you've found somewhere! Show us whatever! Each item you show gets you a ticket for the drawing!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"></span>BASKET <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">The Basket is one that has been organized by one of the members (who has signed up ahead of time to do so). These baskets usually contain sewing supplies, fat quarters, storage, patterns or whatever the organizer can figure out. Those tickets are sold separately at $2 or 3 for $5. Proceeds are used by the Guild to support activities like speakers, group projects, materials and supplies, etc. These have been very popular over the past several years and the winners are quite envied.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div>
In addition to these regular activities, there will be a packet for the<span style="color: blue;"> BLOCK OF THE MONTH</span><span style="color: black;">. Members will receive these packets at the September meeting. Details will be given at that time.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;">The September meeting will be a busy one. Not only will it be our first of the year, with all the greetings and catching up to do, we will also have a workshop on the Joan Shay technique of flower-making. President Brenda Devine will show us how to make the flowers and make them into corsages. A materials list will be passed out for anyone interested in making the pumpkin project in October. I call it a project, because when we talked about it at the Board meeting, we said members could make it into a pillow, a wall-hanging, a quilt block, or anything they could think of! We didn't want to limit your imaginations! We look forward to seeing the completed projects.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: black;">We are also planning on having a couple of Sewing Bees where you can bring whatever project you would like to work on and get advice and/or help on it. We may even work on a Guild project. We actually have a couple of dates in mind, but just discovered a possible conflict, so we are going to nail it down before definitely announcing them. There's plenty of time. Keep watching here for that announcement.</span></div>
<div>

We hope you had a good summer! Its certainly been a busy one for me.<br />
<br />
I made an entire quilt set for our great-niece in July for her wedding on August 9. We traveled to my hometown to take care of estate issues and take care of business before that, also. When we returned home, it was time to prepare for school. On top of this, we are looking for a new house (which we may have already found)!<br />
<br />
Well, our new year is set to begin on September 11 when our Guild meets in our new home, the Smithfield Congregational Church on Smithfield Avenue in Pawtucket. The doors open at 6 pm, as usual. We have an exciting year planned with everything from a series of Back to Basics demos to Guest Speakers. Our first meeting will have a visit from <u>Just Quilts</u> of Bristol, RI. They will be bringing various fabrics and patterns for purchase as well as a variety of new rulers that are available. We hope to see you there and don't forget to bring your wallets!<br />
<br />
If you will be attending the meeting, don't forget that the President's Challenge from last year is due at the meeting. This is a quilt made from the BoM we made. The BoM for September is the Dahlia block passed out in June. The FQ theme is Ghosts and Goblins. Remember to bring something for the Pantry!<br />
<br />
See you there!Bibliophilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13123997616716503301noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759860007610747931.post-5791819532176450482013-05-08T21:56:00.001-04:002013-05-08T21:56:15.168-04:00Barbara is happy to accept invitationAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03663673397246815218noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759860007610747931.post-20253627367761125062013-05-08T19:49:00.001-04:002013-05-08T19:49:38.962-04:00Amusing Cartoon<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Tonight we have demonstrations of many different skills and whatever dealing with quilting. I have to say whatever, because I don't know what you call blogging!<br />
<br />
We'll take some photos and add them to this post as soon as we can.<br />
<br />
Maybe we'll even get some of our members to add comments!!!!!!Bibliophilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13123997616716503301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759860007610747931.post-38119144953418854032013-04-16T23:19:00.000-04:002013-04-16T23:20:51.541-04:00Keep Viewing!We are so happy to see so many people enjoying our blog. We are trying to get more of our members writing and adding posts about all things about quilting. <br />
<br />
We have been thrilled to have visitors from many different countries all over the world, let alone from other areas of the United States! If you are visiting from outside the New England area, please leave a comment down below. Tell us how you found us and what you think of our quilts.<br />
<br />
Speaking of our quilts, we hope you enjoy the slideshow at the side of the blog. In the rotation of images, you will see various projects our members have worked on. Some are very simple and some are very complex, but they are all quite beautiful. Tell us what you think, please!<br />
<br />
If you have a favorite quilting website, please let me know so I can add it to our growing list. We have sites that range from online stores to small quilt shops to major names in quilting. We are especially interested in shops we can visit in the New England area.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, get out and enjoy the improving weather. I have to go work on a quilt for my grand-niece's wedding this summer. Wish me luck that I have all the supplies and enough time! I've had a grand time designing it using EQ7. Now I just have to make it!Bibliophilehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13123997616716503301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759860007610747931.post-71098285534214924642013-03-27T20:04:00.000-04:002013-03-27T20:04:00.478-04:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Last meeting <b>Susan Day </b>showed us her beautiful quilts. Members who attended saw her amazing work from 30 years of quilting. Each quilt was unique and many guild members remarked on her attention to color - making each design pop. Below are some of my pictures from the evening. We all know that the room is difficult to photograph in - but these can serve as a reminder of the work we saw. If you miss a quilt that I did not post here, write a comment and I will attach it.<br />
<br />
Susan, thank you for sharing your beautiful work!<br />
<br />
Hope everyone is having a busy start to spring.<br />
<br />
See you soon,<br />
Maggie<br />

<br />
For this post I am attaching a group of pictures that our President, Pauline, took at the annual Christmas party. You will see that most of the pictures are of the cigar box challenge/ gift exchange. I know that I loved making my box and I loved receiving my beautiful gift even more! There are also pictures of the snowmen quilts that so many members worked on. They are beautiful - and I am very happy to have them here to stay present in our minds as we work on future projects.<br />
<br />
I will post again soon! Happy sewing,<br />
Maggie<br />

There was no byline, so I don't know who wrote it, let alone whether it was a man or a woman.<br />
<br />
The gist of the article is this person's outrage that tax money, all of $80,000, is going to support a quilt museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The contention is that quilting is passé and no one cares.<br />
<br />
Obviously, they have not been to a hobby store lately, especially something like a Joann's or any quilting shop, and has no idea what textile arts are and who practices those arts. Just because this person probably finds these activities a waste of time, everyone else should also. I actually think I feel sorry for someone who has no thought to respect the time and trouble it took to make these masterpieces.<br />
<br />
Take a look. Most of the comments were outraged at the editorial.<br />

The Heritage Walk is a clockwise loop around central Northern Indiana starting at the Elkhart County Visitor Center (219 Caravan Drive, Elkhart, IN at exit 92 off the I80/90 Indiana Toll Road). When you get there, be sure to stop and pick up a FREE audio CD that tells you the history of the area along with personal stories and fun facts. You can also pick up an Amish Country Travel Guide and map at the same time. Communities include Bristol, Elkhart, Goshen, Middlebury, Nappanee, Shipshewana and Wakarusa.</div>

There are 19 constantly changing quilt-inspired gardens consisting of more than 1,000,000 blossoms and 18 handpainted quilt-inspired murals and even a flower carpet. This year they will be producing the first and only autumn season flower carpet made of mums encompassing 6,500 square feet. The carpet can be viewed from September 19-29, 2012 along the RiverWalk in Downtown Elkhart's Arts & Entertainment District.</div>

To all my Guild Sisters, I'm sorry to have missed the meeting tonight. Hope you had a good one! I don't know if Brenda told you why I wasn't there, but my Mom is very ill and I had to come out to Wisconsin to take care of her. Although she is still very ill, she has recovered so much that we are working on moving her to an Assisted Living facility here from Hospice. According to her doctors, we will be lucky to have her at Christmas, but I have been very fortunate to have had the past 3 weeks with her daily. Have a good summer. I'll see you in a couple of weeks.</div>
