President’s Address
Welcome Fall!
Where did September go? By the
time you read this, it will be Octo-
ber. Halloween costumes & good-
ies have been in the stores for
some time & Christmas is begin-
ning to make an appearance.
So.....we think about new projects
to start. A new table runner or
placemats for Thanksgiving would
be nice. A few of us are silly
enough to do Halloween projects,
so I’m going to make postcards to
send to my Grandkids.
The Christmas fabric is in the
stores & some of it has already
been on sale. Oh temptation!!! De-
spite having loads in my stash, I’ll
probably have to buy some “fresh”
for those seasonal placemats my
daughter has hinted about. I
had planned to finish some
UFO’s before I started any-
thing new, but I think I will
sneak in a Merry project or
two and perhaps they’ll be
finished before December
25th!
October is Retreat month.
I’ll be going to the Edmon-
ton Guild one on Oct. 19, 20
& 21. Then, Camp Home-
wood is the weekend after.
Some are more productive at
Retreats than others. I am
one of the not-so-productive
ones, but do get lots of visit-
ing done.
I think that one of the best
parts of Retreat is the inspi-
ration one gets from seeing
the other quilters “doing
their thing”. Seldom is any-
one doing the same project
as anyone else, and the pro-
jects are as diverse as the la-
dies themselves.
It’s a great learning experi-
ence as everyone is more
than willing to share their
ideas, patterns & techniques.

Book Review
Scrap therapy Cut the Scraps!
7 steps to Quilting Your Way through Your Stash
Joan Ford
The Taunton Press 2011
Quilt Guild Library # 436
The term "stash", when uttered by a quilter, could be said with pride -
or with dread. We all have leftover or extra fabric which takes up
more and more space until something is done about it. Hard to throw
away (after all, you paid for it), sometimes hard to give away (who
necessarily wants your scraps), so - you are left with the alternative -
make something with them!
Joan Ford has written an easy to read, easy to follow book which may solve your problem....what to do
with that ever increasing stash! This book is divided into two sections: Part One deals with how to cut,
sort and assemble your bits and pieces into projects. Part Two provides complete, well illustrated instruc-
tions for twenty projects, ranging from totes to full size quilts.
The author uses 5", 3 1/2" and 2" squares which, when combined, almost interlock. (4 - 2" squares make a
4 patch which can now be teamed up with the 3 1/2" square), 9 - 2" squares make a 9 patch which fits
with a 5" square). Half square triangles are used extensively in many of the projects. As well, four flying
geese are created at once, using the quick method of sewing smaller squares to a larger square, then cut-
ting - necessary for the "Duck, Duck Goose placemats and table runner" class which was taught at Huck-
leberry's last year.
Throughout the book, care is taken to describe and show how to use labour saving new tools such as the
"Wing Clipper" (trims flying geese to matching size). Small square rulers, 6" or 7" square, are invaluable
for squaring up and trimming a shape after it has been sewn and pressed. A revolving cutting mat makes
cutting smaller squares a breeze since the fabric doesn't have to be shifted out of alignment as it is cut to
size.
From a simple quilt made from a panel with the addition of bands of squares, to a more complex log
cabin variation (Wild Salmon Run), this book has stash busting ideas for the beginner to the experienced
quilter.

Intersections: Where Writing and Quilting Meet
How I Spent My Summer Vacation.
By Jessie Schut
Since I’m writing this in September, and since I’m a former schoolteacher, I thought I would turn
to a theme familiar to every child at the beginning of a new school year: write about how you
spent your summer.
In August we had a wedding in the family: son and daughter-in-love finally decided to make it
official after 10 years together. But you probably already know that if you’ve been listening to me
gab on and on and on and on this summer. Even I was getting bored with myself.
They dreamed the big vision for the wedding, booked the hall and invited the guests. I was the
main Wedding Planner and support staff that would make it happen. I won’t get into all the de-
tails about finding out two weeks before the wedding that the reception hall kitchen had no
stove, just a tiny bar fridge, and only room for one person to hang out in. (But it had a great es-
presso machine!) I won’t dwell on the fact that the hall was designed to hold about 60 people –
even though 95 had been invited. Let’s not get into the menu, which changed from day to day
depending on the “desire du jour.” The key word to this wedding was “Whatever!” (said with a
smile and a happy lilt in the voice, you understand). “It will all work out,” they said – and guess
what? It did! We had a wonderful day.
So what did I learn that has anything to do with sewing and quilting? Lots and lots.
First, I learned that you can make men's’ and boys’ neck-
ties in about 1.5 hours each. 1.5 hours is a good thing
when you’re asked 10 days before the wedding to make 6
of them – three for the groom’s attendants, and 3 for our
son and his two boys. I learned that the pattern you find
on the internet when you Google “men’s tie pattern”
won’t work – the pieces don’t match. I learned that your
husband has a pretty good eye – he spotted the discrep-
ancy before I began cutting out the fabric! I learned that
rayon drapes beautifully. And that one of Al’s old ties made a great pattern. And that reducing a
man’s tie pattern to 3/4 size works for kids. And that everyone loved their ties and got lots of (Continued on page 5)

compliments on them. That was a lot of good learning!
And I also learned that, whereas many brides choose their wedding colours first, and pick out
table linens afterwards, if the bride doesn’t pick out a colour, the chief table decorator (that’s me)
can do as she wishes. Those of you who know me, know that “bright” doesn’t begin to describe
my colour palette. So bright is what they got: the table cloths were made from bargain bin fabric
in a rainbow of colours, accented with thrift store vintage embroidered tea cloths, and the effect
was very, very lovely. Honest! When Emma picked out green as her wedding “colour” about a
week before the party, we plunked pots of greenery on the tables and fulfilled the theme.
I learned that it is possible, through trial and error and a dose of sweaty desperation, to create a
floor length cloth to cover a 16 foot head table. I learned that I could patch together a 20 foot ta-
ble runner from the leftover rainbow coloured table cloths, as well as em-
bellish the runner with more leftovers cut into flowers and leaves and
fused to the background.
Through all of this, I also learned a great life lesson. When my sister ar-
rived a week before the wedding to be the chief support staff to the chief
wedding planner (me), she taught me the importance of three little letters:
LIG, which stands for Let It Go. LIG became a refrain as we dealt with
glitches and irritations and unexpected “surprises.” It won’t all be perfect.
LIG. Sometimes tensions and anxieties lead people to say things they
shouldn’t say. LIG. Sometimes people have different priorities from mine. LIG. Go with the love.
(These are good letters for quilters to live by, too.)
When the bride and groom checked out the decorated hall the night before the wedding, they
were thrilled. My daughter-in-law gave me the supreme compliment:
“A hall only a quilter could have designed!” she said with a hug.

News from the Program Committee
We have been busy planning some amazing programs for the coming season.
October 4 will be a fun and instructional program with Janet Finch from Port Alberni. She will be giving
us tips on dyeing, and the use of inks (I have seen a demo and used some of the inks, a fabulous addition
to your quilting skills).
Janet will also bring some of her other supplies from her business including Superior threads and Auriful.
NOTE: Janet accepts cash or cheques so visit that bank machine before coming to the meeting.
November will be the demo night with four very interesting topics including bobbin work and a special
demo on bindings and mitred corners.
We have great plans for the Christmas pot luck and into the New Year so watch the newsletter for details.
We are still working on the programs for the balance of the year so as always we are open to sug-
gestions.

SHARING THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT: HAMPERS AND PLACEMATS
Still a little early to be thinking of Christmas, but in terms of sharing our good fortune with those less
fortunate, this is as good a time as any other. Lean times have not lessened to any great degree this
past year, in fact seem worse for some, and many still need our help. To that end, I am going to ask
once again that we donate money over the next few months from October to December. It worked
really well last year and the shopping volunteers had a blast!!!
Someone was going to take over the job of the Christmas Hampers but has decided not to anymore, so
I really need a volunteer(s), especially to take care of the delivery of the hampers once we have pur-
chased the foodstuffs. If anyone wants to take on the job, please let me know ASAP.
We will stay with the Coast Realty hamper program again this year unless anyone has other sugges-
tions. Once we get the information on our families in late November, I will get the information out
regarding the kids and what we need for gifts. Family quilts for the hampers will be needed and I
have 1 quilt completed and 1 ready to be quilted and one that needs to be finished…any volunteers???
Christmas placemats… we need lots of placemats! Last year we gave Coast Realty about 300 place-
mats for the unsponsored hampers and more would have been welcome.
I will take placemats at any time…I have 2 big plastic containers only one of which is partially full.
Patterns are available in the locked room in the laundry basket labeled “Placemats” and there are
some placemat kits in there also.
If anyone needs fabric, Christmas or not, just ask…we have lots of fabric! If you have placemats ready
to donate, you can leave them in the laundry basket. Placemats with Christmas fabric on one side only
are great as they can be used for a longer period of time. If everyone made 2 placemats, we would
have our 300 again!
I will leave a coffee can for monetary donations in the library cupboard. Thanks for your support.

Pressing Tips for Quilters: a random collections of ideas off the internet
To keep from burning your fingers from the steam or heat of your iron, use a bamboo skewer to hold
open your seams as you press them.
I keep a spray bottle of 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar beside my iron. The mixture will take out any un-
wanted creases (especially "on the bolt line") and will also sometimes give you that extra 1/8" to make
a perfect size block.
For those of us that use a dry iron when ironing quilt seams:
Sometimes small, little puckers appear out of nowhere - keep a small plastic squeeze bottle with a very
fine tip next to the ironing board. Most of the time just one tiny drop of water will ease out the
pucker and you don't need to take out the seam. This really is a great time saver.
Use your iron to set the seam: Before pressing a seam open or to one side, first just press the seam as
it was sewn, without opening up the fabric pieces. Doing so helps meld or sink the stitches into the
fabric, leaving you with a less bulky seam allowance after you press it open or to one side.
Press your quilts... don't iron them. Always press your quilt blocks, allowing the weight of the iron
to do the work for you. Avoid moving the iron back and forth vigorously across the surface of your
blocks, because the movement will possibly stretch them out of shape. You can use movement when
pressing large pieces of fabric, but take care not to pull and tug too hard.
Steam or No Steam? Quilters disagree on whether or not to steam press. I rarely use steam to press
my quilt blocks, but sometimes it is helpful.
Steam Pros
Careful steam pressing can help you square-up a skewed block.
Steam pressing produces crisply pressed seam allowances and fabrics.
Steam Cons
If you tug at a block that's been dampened with steam it is more likely to stretch.
Steam could cause some fabrics to bleed, leaving stains.
Keep a spritzer bottle filled with water on the ironing board. If you need a little moisture, mist a spe-
cific area and avoid sending loads of hot steam throughout the quilt blocks.
Try pressing your quilt components and blocks with and without steam to find out which method
works best for different situations. (Continued on page 16)

Let the seams cool. Once fabric pieces have been pressed, let them cool in place. This prevents dis-
tortion of bias edges.
Finger-press first. Finger pressing isn’t a substitute for using an iron, but it does temporarily press
a seam in one direction or another. It’s a good method to use if you’re unsure which way a seam
eventually will need to be pressed.
Avoid seeing seam shadows. Generally speaking, press seams toward the darker fabric to avoid
creating a shadow on the lighter fabric. If pressing toward the lighter fabric is a must, trim the
darker fabric seam allowance by 1/16" after the seam is sewn to prevent any shadows.
Begin again: If a seam allowance has been pressed the wrong way, return it to its original un-
pressed state and press the unit flat to remove the crease. Allow the fabric to cool, then press the
seam in the desired direction.
When multiple seams come together in one area, press them open. This helps distribute the fabric
bulk evenly, eliminating lumps and making the seams easier to quilt through.
To prevent flattening your appliqués, turn an appliquéd block facedown on a terry-cloth towel for
pressing.
Straight seams should be pressed from the right side of the fabric with the iron parallel to the
straight of grain. This helps avoid pressing tucks and pleats into the seam.
A bias seam should be pressed with the iron at a 45-degree angle to the seam and along the
straight of grain to prevent distortion.
Quilting can be good exercise too! Keep your ironing board well away from your machine and get in
the habit of getting up to press every seam as you sew.

More Than A Day
As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
It brings up some facts,
quite profound.
We may think that we're poor,
Feel like bums, insecure,
But in truth, our riches astound.
We have friends and family we
love;
We have guidance from heaven
above.
We have so much more
Than they sell in a store,
We're wealthy, when push comes
to shove.
So add up your blessings, I say;
Make Thanksgiving last more than
a day.
Enjoy what you've got;
Realize it's a lot,
And you'll make all your cares go
away.
