Thoughts from the President…

Once again I look all around me and see things that are changing.

We are already through seven months of 2019. Where has the time

gone?

We enjoyed a relaxing Newcomers Tea last month. It was so much fun

to sit around and talk with the new members about our organization. I

would like to thank Mike and his helpers for putting this event on.

Our quilt show is this month and Bonnie is doing a fantastic job of

heading up this event. I would like to thank all the quilt show committee

chairs and volunteers for the work and timeless hours they have put in.

On a sad note, one of our quilt shops is closing. QuiltWorks is closing

their doors this month. I would like to thank Marilyn and her staff for

everything they have done for this community.

Please stop by QuiltWorks and thank Marilyn for her years of

generous contributions to our guild. We will miss you Marilyn.

Keep on quilting.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PRE-REGISTERED QUILTS FOR THE SUNRIVER QUILT SHOW

Hello Fellow Quilters!

Our August 3rd Sunriver Quilt Show is coming up FAST!

Here are a few things you need to know:

QUILT INTAKE:

Quilt Intake will happen Thursday and Friday, August 1 and 2 – at a new PLACE and at a new TIME!

WHERE:

Building 27 behind Café Sintra (on the other side of the street from the main part of The Village).

As you come into Sunriver using Exit 153 - the South Century Drive exit – go past the waterfall roundabout toward The

Village where you will see two NEW roundabouts. Take the first exit off of the second new roundabout onto Ponderosa

Rd. Instead of turning Left into the parking lot in FRONT of Café Sintra, turn Left into the parking lot BEHIND Café

Sintra where you will see the back entrance to Building 27.

TIME:

2 to 5 pm on Thursday and Friday, August 1 and 2

Because Café Sintra closes at 2 pm and Marcello’s (next door) opens at 5 pm, doing our quilt intake from 2 to 5 will keep

us from pre-empting their customer parking.

We brought 50 copies of the Quilt Show Entry and Release Form to Tuesday’s Education meeting. This is the form that

will be attached to your quilt on display. It is also the liability release form. You can also download it from the MMQ web-

site.

Go to www.mountainmeadowquilters.org. (You don’t have to log in.)

Click on Forms and Quilt Tips at the top of the page.

Select 2019 Sunriver Quilt Show Entry and Release Form. (Be sure not to choose the registration form instead.)

We will also have forms available at Quilt Intake.

We would highly recommend that you also have a sewn label on your quilt with your name on it. We’ll pin your Entry and

Release Form to your quilt, but it is paper and could get torn. A good precaution would be to have a label sewn on to your

quilt.

If you will be unable to pick up your quilt by 5:30 PM Saturday - the day of the Quilt Show - please give the re-ceipt you receive at Intake to the person you choose to pick up your quilt. Your quilt will only be released to you / the person with the receipt for your quilt.

IF YOU DID NOT PRE-REGISTER A QUILT:

If you have NO preregistered quilts, you may bring 1-2 quilts to Quilt Intake on Thursday and Friday. If, for some

reason, some of the pre-registered quilts don’t show up, we will replace their designated spot with one of these quilts of

a similar size. We would also like to use these quilts to fill in when a quilt is sold – so we don’t have empty spaces without

quilts. If your quilt is used to fill in these empty spaces and is not displayed all day, you may enter it again in next year ’s

show

PICKUP OF QUILTS AFTER THE QUILT SHOW:

Because we don’t have a building available to us in the area where the quilts will be displayed, we will be doing Quilt

Outtake at the Quilt Sales area next to the grassy area where the potholders are sold.

We will use the same precautions we’ve used in the past for releasing quilts to their specific owners/designees.

The Quilt Outtake Volunteers will have a list of quilts - by owner - and they will check off each quilt as it is released to

the person with the receipt for that quilt.

All quilts must be picked up by 5:30 PM on Saturday.

If you cannot pick up your quilt, please give the receipt you receive at Intake to the person you choose to pick up your quilt. Your quilt will only be released to you/the person with the receipt for your quilt.

PROGRAM MEETING

AUGUST 13-10 am @ SHARC

Our August program speaker, author Arlene Sachitano, will

be giving a talk and trunk show titled, The Quilts of

Foggy Point, focused on quilts that have been featured on

the covers of her books.

Arlene was born at Camp Pendleton while her father was

serving in the US Navy. Her family lived in Newport,

Rhode Island before settling in Oregon. Arlene worked in

the electronics industry for almost thirty years, including

stints in solid state research as well as production

supervision. Arlene is handy being both a knitter and a

quilter. She puts her quilting knowledge to work, writing

the Harriet Truman/Loose Threads mystery series, which

features a long arm quilter as the amateur sleuth. Arlene

divides her time between homes in Portland and Tillamook

that she shares with her husband and their canine

companion, Navarre. Arlene is a proud grandmother to

three beautiful granddaughters.

MMQ Retreat

May 12-14, 2020

Riverhouse on the Deschutes (Bend)

As of this month, we are pleased to announce that we have

one more Sit and Sew spot ($100) and a handful more

Maggie Ball spots ($250) left. We will open up registration

to other guilds (in addition to our guild) in September if we

have more spots to fill. Please email Mindy Wolfman or

Heidi Thaut ([email protected] or

[email protected] ) if you have questions about

registration or would like to register. $15 Reserves your

spot in the class. Final payments are due March 2020. Pay-

ment options are now available on the MMQ website for

your convenience (minimum $25 payment). $250 retreat

cost includes 2 plated breakfasts, 2 plated dinners, a

lovely venue for classes and service for meals in the River-

house Convention Center, AV support, instruction and bev-

erage (non alcohol) service.

Your retreat team has now entered the really fun phase of

the planning process: Candace is leading the team with

ideas for door prizes and goodies to bring cheer every day.

Mindy and Heidi are ordering patterns and collected pat-

tern payments at the May guild meetings. We hope to de-

liver the patterns to members in June at the guild meet-

ings.

If you want to join Maggie’s class, here is the info:

Make the beautiful 281⁄2” Radiant

Star block with your choice of a

Snowball or Kaleidoscope in the cen-

ter. We will study a variety of piec-

ing techniques for perfect triangles,

including foundation paper piecing

for the feathers. We begin with in-

struction in basic pattern drafting

to make a template for the star arms and to calculate the

sizes of the block components. Then we’ll continue with

constructing the block and a discussion of options for mak-

ing a medallion-style quilt to showcase this stunning star.

Additional $6.00 pattern fee unless ordered previously

through Mindy and Heidi (pattern purchase is not included

in class cost). www.dragonflyquilts.com

Business Meeting Minutes July 9, 2019

SHARC – Sunriver, Oregon

Robin Bracken, President, called the meeting to order at 10:00 am

Greeters: Since none were available Robin asked for self-introductions and there were 4 visitors.

Hospitality: Heidi Trout thanked those who brought refreshments today.

Thinking of You's: Bonnie Schaefer announced that she has been collecting quilt blocks for Karen Padrick’s quilt. She

has received around 40. Karen's husband's (Kevin) funeral will be Friday at 2:30 pm at the SHARC.

Announcements: Terry Anderson announced that one of the books for our drawing today has an article about Lillian

Arnold, a master appliquer and MMQ member.

Program: Marie Bostwick introduced our speaker: Pat Jones, Master Quilter for 2017. Pat has a wide background of

artist, teacher of several levels of art, creative quilter using many methods. We were all inspired by her beautiful works.

Thanks Pat.

Break

Volunteers for MMQ Quilt Show: Patty Gates has the volunteers lined up but could use a few more. She will be sending

all volunteers an email this week to give them their assignments. Bonnie Schaefer could also use a few more volunteers

for quilt hanging.

Business Meeting

Minutes: No corrections or additions were given. Minutes were approved as written.

Treasurer's Report: We’re officially halfway through the year, so it’s time to take a look at our revenue and expenses to

date, and compare them with the annual budget. I will mention the highlights today, but you can always get a copy of our

year-to-date budget to actual comparison from me to confirm that your “department” is on track for the year. I will have

the actual numbers available at the meetings, or I can email them to you on request. As of the end of June we would

expect our revenues and expenses to date to be about 50% of our annual budget, with adjustments for the timing of

various events. So far, we have collected 88% of our budgeted dues for the year, which is pretty typical for this time. I

expect we will come close to our dues goal by the end of the year as we are currently only 16 members short.

Thanks to a couple of unexpected cash donations, we have exceeded our budgeted donations for the year; our annual

budget for this item includes only the donation we receive from Premier Properties, LLC (i.e. “Sunriver Village”) in

support of our annual quilt show. Thanks to the early mercantile sales of donated kits last month, mercantile sales

revenue has gotten a significant head start, and I hope this is an indicator of a very successful sale at our quilt show

next month. Both Program and Education have spent well under 50% of their budget for the year; if they are able to

maintain this it will help us avoid a dreaded net loss for the year, which we had anticipated back in January. Service

project expenses are within budget, and our miscellaneous general expenses are well below budget at this point, but that

is largely because a number of these expenses are not payable until the end of the year. Examples of these are

our annual insurance premium (paid in October) and our post office box rental paid in December.

As of June 30 we had $7,200 in our checking account and $10,500 in our savings account. The $7,200 in checking may

sound like a nice big balance, but it includes a $5,000 “cushion” of earnings accumulated over the past 35 years. If our

checking account is ever below $5,000, it means we have overspent our current income, and are starting to dip into our

reserves. So, we have only $2,200 available to us for the rest of the year, which wouldn’t even cover our SHARC

room rental and our storage unit rental. That is why we are so dependent on our mercantile sales to generate the income

we need to pay for our programs, holiday party, insurance, and all our other expenses that we will incur during the second

half of the year. The $10,500 in our savings account includes $7,600 for the retreat (including $2,500 of deposits made

by participants) and $2,900 of prior “excess funds” which have been designated for future fixed asset purchases.


Business Meeting Minutes (continued)

The Treasurer’s Report was approved as read.

Membership: Sally reminded members to thank merchants for prizes.

Communications: Any questions should go to Louise Carriger.

Programs: These are listed in newsletter.

Education: Patty announced that our July education meeting will be on English paper piecing. Bring a few pieces small 4"

pieces of fabric, needle, thread, a fabric glue stick and small scissors if you would like to participate.

Sisters Quilt Show: Susan Campbell has picked up all badges for volunteers, please go directly to our site by the Cham-

ber.

Quilt Outlet: Mary Klein asked that those selling their things pick up forms for selling their items at the Sunriver Quilt

Show.

Bazaar: Please get all items in ASAP.

New Member Tea: Will be this Thursday at Sunriver Library. Mike Carriger sent members an email this past week.

Service Projects: Denise Meese thanked everyone for participating by making so many quilts.

Retreat 2020: Heidi Trout says the committee is taking a break for a couple months.

Christmas Party, BOM, TOM: No reports

Secret Sisters: Picnic will be July 30.

Newsletter: Articles due by July 25.

No new or old business.

Show and tell: 5 members shared their quilts with us.

Drawings

Meeting adjourned at 11:39 am

Respectfully submitted,

Bev King for Nancy Fischer, Secretary

Pat Jones, Master Quilter - a few of her beautiful quilts!

SEW MANY QUILTS & BERNINA CENTER

Whew! Did you enjoy the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show and all the related activities? What a blast we had! Providing rental

machines for the week of classes and then hosting the Bernina Booth on Saturday was an amazing experience! We

met so many new quilters, made lots of new friends, and best of all, helped many of you go home with a new Bernina. If

you’re interested in a demo B475 or B570QE, we have only a few still available. These were

new machines that were only used in the classroom (many for just a day or two). They will

still have a full warranty – interested? Come in and see us!

August brings the Bernina Thank You Sale – a great time to stock up on Bernina Feet. If you

buy 2 Bernina presser feet, you’ll get 1 free of equal or lesser value. We’re well stocked

right now, it’s definitely the right time to shop.

Have you been in the store lately? We have over 25 new kits in stock, as well as hundreds

and hundreds of bolts of new fabrics. Christmas in July definitely describes many of our

new collections. Get started on your holiday gifts early this year! Oh yes – and we’ve been

told that Jason Yenter’s “Dragons” fabric collection will be arriving any day. (Were you a Game of Thrones fan? This

fabric collection might have to be yours!). In The Beginning has done an outstanding job blending dungeon and dragon

deep reds, blacks, and golds in these fabrics.

As we go to press, we’re getting our classroom space back in shape. Our weekday groups will start up again on August 1.

Watch your e-mail for information on newly scheduled fall classes and workshops!

We value your business and treasure your friendship,

Sharon, Gail and the Staff at Sew Many Quilts

HOMESTEAD QUILTS AND GALLERY

July is almost gone and we have been very, very busy and have enjoyed all of those who have come to visit us. We are get-

20% off on guild Tuesday

BJ’S QUILT BASKET

Hello, Everyone!

The weather is warming up and that means quilt show season is upon us. It is always fun to see our annual visitors again

and welcome new visitors to the shop, but July can be grueling, too. We are putting the shop back together after all the

fun, and getting ready for the guild quilt shows. We have such talent in our area!

Speaking of putting the shop back together, you will see some changes at BJ's. Marilyn generously donated several of

her display fixtures to us, and Stacy is putting them to good use in our shop. The display "bleachers" started life out at

Mountain Country Mercantile, then at QuiltWorks, and now we've got them. I love that a little piece of local quilting his-

tory continues on in my little shop. There are more fun changes coming - watch this space next month!

I am super excited about our summer workshop with Sherri Lynn Wood August 24-25, and have even scheduled time off

so I can participate. After working flat out to get ready for our summer visitors, I'm ready to "get my curve on" with

her Wedge Curve workshop. Improv + curves + solids -- so out of my box but I can't wait. We still have some spots

available for the workshop, and for her Ruler Free Mashup on August 23. Kristin Swan will reprise her popular One Block

Wonder class in August as well, and Quilters Lumberyard classes return in August, too. We hope to see you all soon!

STITCHIN’ POST

What a summer this has been, full of beautiful quilts, flowers blooming, clear skies! We live in a very beautiful place.

Thank you to all of you that for your support of our store and the quilt show. The “Sew Down” fundraiser put on by our

wonderful Quilter’s Affair teachers was amazing! The Tula Pink team faced off with the Rob Appell team and each

created a quilt. Lots of fun, prizes, beautiful gift baskets to bid on. Fun was had by all, and all of the money will go to the

Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show, a non-profit organization.

The store is full of fabric for all of you creatives---

The Opposite and Palette from Marcia Derse sold completely out at quilt show and our back order has arrived--it

is really fun fabric.

Winter Wonderland from Clothworks

Instead from Carolyn Freidlander ---I hope some of you were able to take in her solo exhibit on Sunday, the day

after the show, at Five Pine Lodge. It was just beautiful and so peaceful with the creek running through the pine

trees draped in her quilts.

Winter Shimmer from Jennifer Sampou, Kaufman Fabrics

Frosted Flannels from Holly Taylor

We have the most charming Christmas Cheer wall quilt and runner kit from All Through the Night, which is a little

digital printed banner . We have sourced all of the buttons, bells, etc. just for you. We are now working on

another design from her that is a banner with birds that is not seasonal. I think I will have to make it.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and we hope to be at your quilt show in August!
