Larkin Jean Van HornIf One is Good, Twenty is BetterJanuary 11th
at 7PM
Larkin is the perfect teacher to bring a sense of creativity and
excitement to the Guild. She was surprised to fi nd herself
teaching in 1992, but found she loved the challenge and excitement
of the classroom. As recognition for her art quilts and wearable
art have grown, she has been a stimulating and unselfi sh guide to
hundreds of fabric and fi ber fanatics in the Pacifi c
Northwest.
Larkin makes garments, art quilts, bead embroidery, and art for
the church that ema-nate from her bold imagination, her love for
the vast array of textile products from around the world, and her
strong sense of drama.
Her art is truly that of the Pacifi c Northwest, and has been
displayed and won honors both regionally and nationally. In 2000,
Larkin was invited to participate in the fi nal Fairfi eld Fashion
Show, as well as the fi rst two shows after sponsorship was taken
up by Bernina and was given the Judges’ Award of Merit in 2002.
The title of her lecture is something she heard during her
childhood. It was her mother’s theory about shoes. If you fi nd a
pair that fi ts, buy them in every color (and two pair of black).
It’s also came to be her philosophy about clothing. If you only
have one vest and wear it to every occasion, pretty soon it becomes
like wallpaper and people stop seeing it. It also will wear out.
So, rather than make one, make a bunch! Variety fi lls our eyes
with color and pattern, and our minds with activity. So, making
wearable art is actually good for your health! She will bring both
slides and a stack of garments, and will borrow some guild members
to serve as models.
Larkn is looking forward to her visit with our guild. It has
been many years since she was in Glendale and she is delighted by
this chance to get reacquainted.
Dinner with the Speaker:4:30PM Wednesday, January 11th @ Tony
Roma’s Restaurant at 126 N. Maryland, Glendale. Don’t miss this
wonderful opportunity to meet Larkin Jean Van Horn, before her
trunk show.

PRESIDENT’S MES SAGE
Best wishes for a very Happy New Year!
Let’s make 2006 the “Year of the Quilts.” That means you can
work hard on getting your projects com-pleted and then you can
start some new ones as well!
We all certainly had fun at the Holi-day Potluck. We kept
putting up more and more tables and then the transformation once
decorated was unbelievable. One comment that I heard was that
members certainly went over-board in having “tons” of food to eat
for the Party. Other comments were that “it was fun to sit with
people that you did not real-ly know and get to know them bet-ter;
next time we see one another we will know a name for that face so a
special greeting can be given. It was one of those -- A great time
was had by all! The winning table decorations were so unusual. What
a lot of effort went into each of the groups who decorated a table.
Thanks for all of your creativity.
Looking forward to the upcoming January program with the
celebra-tion of our 24th Guild year. We will be honoring those who
are responsi-
ble for getting our great Guild start-ed, Charter Members, and,
in addi-tion, keep an interest in our strong programs and
membership activi-ties. We also want to recognize the Honorary Life
Members who have, over a long period of time, given of their time
and effort to major and minor activities, some behind the scenes
and others more out in front. Of course, Larkin Van Horn will be a
most interesting speaker. Have you reviewed her quilts on our
website, they are very inter-esting. Her wonderful Beadwork for
Fabric Artists workshop should be a learning experience to most of
us. Just looking at the beadwork on the on-line sample speaks
wonders of what she will share with you. Don’t miss this monthly
program!
It doesn’t seem possible, but we are just around the corner from
the 2006 Quilt Show. We will begin collecting names for the
volunteer activities so think ahead to those that you are
especially interested in being a part of. Volunteering is an
important aspect of the Show; this process allows the Show to
happen since this is how we have all of the areas covered. In
addi-tion, the members get to have fi rst
hand information about what is go-ing on at the Show and what
classes are looking good and what vendors have the best “stuff.”
Also, don’t for-get to enter your quilt or wearable art in the
Show. Quilt acquisition members will be taking photographs of your
quilts in January – before the deadline for submitting a quilt for
the Show. The wearable acquisition deadline is not until February,
but the quilts are needed early.
Don’t forget to put your suggestions and ideas into the
“Suggestion Box” at the Membership table. Each time a suggestion is
presented it will be reviewed at the next Board meeting. Let all of
the Board members know your wishes and recommendations.
By now you have had the opportu-nity to enjoy your holiday
celebra-tions and we trust that they were fi lled with fun, frolic,
enthusiasm, and most importantly love for your family.
Wishing you a very Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing you
in Janu-ary!

Larkin Jean Van Horn - Beadwork for Fabric Artists
Date: January 14, 2006 Time: 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM (30 mins. for
lunch)Location: Glendale Central LibraryCost: $25 or $15 with
voucher; $35 for non-members; payment saves your place. $20
materials fee payable to instructor. Description:
Beads! Beads! Beads! They are way too much fun to play with and
highly addictive! They add texture, dimension, and sparkle to
embroidery, quilt-ing, wearables, and jewelry. We’ll explore a
variety of ways to attach beads to fabric and then the
possibilities are limited only by your imagination. If you’ve never
tried working with beads, or you just want some new ideas to play
with, please join us for an exciting introduction to the world of
bead-ing.
This course covers all the basics of bead embroidery, as well as
some edge stitching, fringe, and design considerations. Add
brilliance, sparkle and pi-zazz to your quilts and wearables.
Larkin’s class will stimulate the creativity of each student. Since
each student brings different experiences to their work, they will
finish the class with pieces that are uniquely their own. Lar-kin
will share her unique perspective and techniques, as well as
encourage individual expression and exploration. This is Larkin’s
first book that has received an excellent response by readers.
www.larkinart.com
SUPPLIES- Pair of scissors- Bright light like an Ott light- One
project that you are considering beading if you want help
brainstoring (only one per student)- Cameras. Larkin allows
students to take pictures of her work.
FEBRUARY WORKSHOPTammie Bowser - Mosaic Quilts

lunch)Location: Glendale Central LibraryCost: $25 or $15 with

Tammie Bowser has been sewing since she was 4 years old. She
started out sewing clothings and after graduating from The Fashion
Insitute of Design and Merchandising, she chose a career in the
fashion industry. Her 17 year ca-reer had become difficult and
unenjoyable so she prayed for an idea that could lead to a new
career. Shortly after that, she woke up with the exciting idea for
Quilted Photography. Her idea was to use very ordinary cotton
prints to make extraordinary photographc photos and portraits.

MINI GROUPSStash Builders STASH BUILDERS fi rst met in late
1998. The friendship group is comprised of Virginia Barrett, Pat
Doody, Kathy Flint, Susan Lu-cas, Vicki Pacifi co, Barbara
Weitekamp and Michelle Willumsen. Since each member?s interests and
quilting techniques are quite varied, many ideas have been shared
and quilting problems solved. We try to expand our quilting
knowlede through block ex-changes, a round robin project and
various technique challenges. We also enjoy each other’s company
when traveling to quilt shows and quilt shops. Some of our members
recently attended an out-of-town retreat.
SUNSHINE and SHADOWSOur hearts and prayers go out to Mary Beth
Kyle who lost her Father and to Diane Sullivan who lost her Mother
and also to Mercy Garcia whose husband has recently passed away.
Also, our prayers for a

SUGGESTION BOX - November 2006Question: When are we going to be
able to receive newsletters by email, which was discussed earlier
this year? Also, my newsletter comes really late and sometimes not
in time for the meeting.
Answer from the Executive Board: The newsletter is generally
available by email 10 days after the Guild General meeting. Just go
to our website www.GlendaleQuiltGuild.org/ and print a copy or just
read on-line. Second part of the question is that the newsletter
was coming out late because articles were submitted late to
editor.
Hope this helps and keep those suggestions coming!!!
