Coastal Prairie Quilt Guild Of Texas The Monarch · 2015 Guild Shop Hop June 18! We are shopping at 4 quilt shops this year. We will be leaving from the church parking lot at 8:30

ASK NOT!

Well sir, it’s nomination time at CPQG in ole Missouri City and I am hope-

ful that everyone is up for it! The Nominating Committee, headed by Re-

becca Trevino, is now making some phone calls and putting out feelers,

hoping that we will be able to submit a full slate of officers for publication

in the July newsletter.

Our guild is only as strong as our members. Our guild needs the participa-

tion of its members to survive. It needs each of us to care, to participate,

to volunteer time and energy to make it all work. If there is a way in which

you would like to participate, and you aren’t sure how to accomplish that,

please let me know and we will find a way to assist you in making that par-

ticipation possible.

Remember, in the words of JFK (paraphrased without permission!) -----

ASK NOT WHAT YOUR GUILD CAN DO FOR YOU, BUT WHAT YOU

CAN DO FOR YOUR GUILD!

234 QUILTS!!! 187 BLANKETS!!! HOBBS UPCs NEEDED

Hobbs Batting (located in Waco) has a program that provides batting at a discounted price when it is used for charity quilts. To take advantage of this offer, UPC codes are required. We are running low on these UPCs, so please save them for us. You can get them to me at any meeting. Again, thanks to the following who have supported Community Service this past month, either by attending the sewing day on April 13, or contributing time and talent.

Be sure to say thanks to Chris Ginkens for her generosity. The sewing days would not be possible without her. Drop by Quilt Your Own and check out her services. Another sewing day will be scheduled for the summer. Date to be an-nounced!

Mary Goodman will soon complete her term as President and has asked that each member make one of these blocks as a goodbye gift. Mary wants her blocks to represent each one of you! So here are the directions: You will need: ONE 3½ inch square of white (or white on white or light beige or unbleached muslin or pastel solid so when you write on it, you can read it) fabric. TWO 2 ½ inch squares of a solid or print in your favorite quilt fabric, any color you’d like that’s different from the white. 1. Draw a line, corner to corner on the WRONG side of your 2½ inch squares. 2. Position a 2½ inch square in the upper left corner of the white square, right sides togeth-

er. 3. Sew along the drawn line. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with the other 2½ inch square in the lower right hand corner. 5. Press the small squares away from the center to form triangles at opposite corners. 6. Trim excess fabric from the seam allowance so that only ¼ inch remains. 7. Iron a piece of freezer paper, shiny side down, onto the back of the block to make signing

easier. 8. Then, using a black permanent Pigma Pen, sign your name across the white diagonal piece on the front of your block. Feel free to write any message you like, but make sure your name is on there! 9. Bring your completed block by the July 16 guild meeting.

Do you have any 5-inch squares, 10-inch squares, or fat quarters you would love to use, but aren’t quite

sure what to do with them? If so, you might want to check out the book More Loose Change. There are

14 quilts in this book that are wonderful. I especially like the quilt called Crown Jewels. I’ve never seen

anything like it before. If you like to make flying geese, you might want to make the quilt called Golden

Goose. I also like Nickelodeon, Fort Knox, and Pumpernickel. If you would like to see what these quilts

look like, check out this book!! Great ideas for quilts for our upcoming quilt show! If you would like to

check out this book or any of our other fantastic books, email me [email protected] and I’ll bring it to

the meeting for you. Check out our library online: www.librarything.com/catalog/cpqgoftx.
