The Friendship Note—A Newsletter of Friendship Knot Quilters’ Guild, Sarasota, Florida

The Friendship Note Newsletter of the Friendship Knot Quilters’ Guild, Inc. Sarasota, Florida

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

February is traditionally associated with

love, hearts and candies with sweet

sayings. But I wonder…

Last month Bonnie Hunter shared her

scrap quilts, many pieced with fabric

associated with memories from her life.

This made me think of a quilt my mother

gave me that had been made by her

grandmother. It was pieced from old

dresses, table cloths, shirts and blouses

and every other fabric source around the

house. I barely appreciated this quilt

because after all there was all this new

beautiful fabric available with which to

create fresh looking, bright colored quilts.

But my daughter Kelly fell in love with

the quilt and the history. She now owns it

and the last trip I made to Dallas I saw her

daughter Kyndall lovingly wrapped in the

quilt. When I think about it, what an

amazing connection Kyndall has to her

Great Great Great Grandmother. She can

touch the fabrics and the hand stitching

and imagine the life of a woman whose

stern black and white picture is all we

would know about her without the quilt.

So I know, making quilts gives us the

opportunity to pass on our love, share our

hearts and even add sweet sayings to those

who will follow us. Hurrah for February!

Education Notes

Elva Farrell

What a remarkable evening we had with Bon-

nie Hunter at our last meeting. I’m sure everyone

at the meeting gained inspiration and is back

home cutting up their stash into little strips and

squares for future quilts. Thanks to all who

helped coordinate her visit. Next month, we look

forward to Robbi Eklow’s classes and program

at the guild meeting.

Ever wonder how we select our programs,

classes and speakers? Final decisions are made

by the Education Committee with input from all

of our members. We need a few more members

on the committee. If you’ve ever thought you’d

like to be involved in discussing the types of

programs the guild offers and having input into

the choices, now’s your chance. Email me at

[email protected]. We will be meeting

soon to start selecting presenters for 2015 and

beyond.

Committee members have the opportunity to

get to know the speakers even better, as we are

also charged with helping with the arrangements

for each speaker including airport pick-up, trans-

porting to and from class, hosting for an evening

meal or even hosting the speaker in your home.

If serving on the committee won’t fit your

schedule but you have a suggestion for a possi-

ble program/speaker, let me know. All sugges-

tions will be researched and considered by the

committee.

I look forward to the year ahead and working

with all of our membership to make this another

banner year for programs and education. Please

contact me with any questions or suggestions.

WOW!

Cass Bowen

You can imagine my surprise when I was

presented with a huge basket of fat quarters from

the members of the Guild. You (the members)

are just the best! It was my pleasure to serve as

your President, and I am happy to support Karen

Clark, your new President. She will do a terrific

job. Thank you so much for your generous gift.

I see several new projects in my future with all

that fabric.

Quilts In Paradise - March 6 & 7, 2015

Show Chairs Update

Ann Greene, Lynn Purple, Jamie Sculley

We’re working on the show. We have our

judge - Linda McCuean. We have our Chal-

lenge Fabric (see Pinky Stewart or Pam Morris).

We have our Vendor Chairmen, Shirley McMath

and Jan Secor. They are working hard at getting

us some good vendors.

We are in need of someone for Door Prizes

(we already have several donated); we need

someone to co-ordinate buses. And, of course,

we are going to need lots of volunteers over the

next year to make sure that this Quilt Show is just

as spectacular and successful as in all the previ-

ous years.

Mini-Quilt Silent Auction

Cass Bowen

Get those sewing machines out and whip up a

small quilt for the Mini-Quilt Auction. Our goal

is to have at least 100 quilts - 50 for each day of

the show. Quilts can be appliqued, pieced, or

paper-pieced. Total perimeter should not exceed

80 inches. They can be square, rectangular or

round - you decide. There is no minimum pe-

rimeter measurement. The quilt should have a

sleeve or some type of hanger on the back.

Please label your quilt. Hopefully we will sell

them all, but if not, they will be returned to the

maker. Since we are going a different route for

the Boutique this year, this will be your chance

to make something cute for the quilt show.

Please turn them in to me at any of the future

meetings and call me with any questions you

might have.

Gift Basket Boutique

Karla Lynch and Mary Nissen

On Monday night we announced the new con-

cept for the boutique for the 2015 Quilt Show

and showed two sample gift baskets. What we

(guild members) are going to do is provide items

to make gift baskets that will be raffled at the

quilt show. It’s an idea that’s been done at other

guilds and has been quite successful.

Here’s how it works. We have a list of 30-40

themed gift basket ideas. We’d like you, your

cottage group, or a group of you to pick a theme

and buy the items to go in the basket. You don’t

have to buy the basket. We have those already.

We want the items to be new or nearly new and

the value to be approx. $100. We want people to

desire the baskets so much that they’ll buy lots of

raffle tickets. We think we’ll be selling 30 tick-

ets for $5.00. If you need ideas talk to us. We’ll

have a Boutique table at every meeting. If you’d

like a copy of the list, send me an email and I’ll

send one to you.

These baskets have been chosen already:

BBQ

Civil War Reproductions

Pink Ribbon

Food Theme

Hand Dye Basket

Thread Basket

Beach Theme

Art Quilting Theme

Dog Basket

American Girl Basket

Liquor Basket

Redwork & Tea Basket

Easter Basket

Which basket would you like to do?

2015 Quilt Show Donor Quilt

Rose Ryan

I was very disappointed in the lack of participation in the last donor quilt workshop. My goal was to

have this a guild project done by many hands. On January 25 we had only 3 people show up and work.

There were a couple of others who took blocks home to work on. The 3 of us at the workshop had fun

and were able to put the arcs on all the finished blocks and begin the process of removing the paper.

The next workshop is Saturday, February 8th at 9 a.m.,

Five Lakes Clubhouse, 3475 51 Ave. Cir. W., Bradenton. We will be putting the sashing on the blocks and the stars in

the corners of the sashing. Please join the group and help with

this project. Bring your machine and the usual sewing tools as

well as a cutting board. Hand sewing needles for the applique

stars as well. If you do not applique, come anyway. There

will be straight sewing and pressing that needs to be done.

Bring your lunch or there are several places to order from

in the area. Bring your coffee or tea and breakfast treats will

be provided. Hope to see you on the 8th.

Quilts In Paradise - March 6 & 7, 2015

Just Another Day in Paradise Challenge Pam Morris and Pinky Stewart

ALL of the challenge squares have been bought. Those of you who are inspired and ready to jump

in, go to it. We will accept your challenge as soon as you have it ready and will hold it for you until the

time to register it, if you would like. We will get the proper papers for registration to you when they

“Hmmmm...now what do I see in this fabric?”

Rules:

1. The Challenge Quilts to be accepted will be no larger or smaller than 24 inches on a side.

2. The theme for the Challenge Quilt will be “Just Another Day in Paradise”.

3. Each participant will pay $3 for a fat quarter of the challenge fabric.

4. All quilts must have a gusseted hanging sleeve and be labeled.

5. All quilts must be turned in during the quilt registering process.

6. The Challenge quilts will be judged by the professional who is judging the whole show.

Some of the proposed categories may be: Best Depiction of Theme, Best Use of Fabric, Most Origi-

nal, Most Humorous, Popular Vote and Judges Choice.

Any questions can be directed to Pam Morris [email protected] or Pinky Stewart

[email protected] and we will respond as soon as we have an answer.


KiDZQuilts

Jo Wieczynski, Coordinator

Thirty-two KiDZQuilters came to the Fruitville Library on January 14th when 65

quilts were donated to Sarasota Memorial Hospital. At the January FKQG meeting

Ginny Klotzbach at the KiDZQuilts table received fabric from Joan Landrey and Debi

Webb as well as seven quilts from Debbie Goldshot and one quilt from Cass Bowen

and friends.

KiDZQuilts meets on February 11th from 12:15 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Fruitville

Library. Our guidelines and calendar are available on the FKGQ website. For addi-

tional information, please contact Jo Wieczynski at [email protected].

Road Trip

Lynn Purple

March 29 - Mark Your Calendars

We are going to have a Road Trip to Deland

with stops at quilt shops along the way. We al-

ways stop some place good for lunch and we al-

ways, always have a great deal of fun.

If enough members are interested - new or

old - we will hire a bus rather than car pool. I

don’t have a firm price as of yet, but it will be

around $35 per person. This is not a money-

making deal for the Guild. We will take the total

cost of hiring the bus plus 18% gratuity for the

driver and divide it equally among the members

and friends that go on the trip. When the itiner-

ary is solid, we’ll let you know in an email. If

you know of good quilt shops in the Orlando/

Deland area, let me know. I always welcome

suggestions: [email protected]

In Memory of Jean C. Pearson

Nov. 5, 1929 - Jan. 8, 2014 Cass Bowen

I recently learned of the passing of one our

members, Jean Pearson. Jean passed away after

a short illness. She was originally from Boston,

MA. Jean had been a member of the guild since

1993. She had not attended the monthly meet-

ings for a few years because of her health, but

always participated in the quilt show. She won

her first blue ribbon for her entry in the 2013

Quilt Show. Her son, Per, told me that it was

Jean’s desire to donate her fabric stash to the

Guild. A true quilter for sure, she knew we

would make good use of her “treasures”. It is

certainly appreciated. We will miss you, Jean.

On a similar note, we received four cartons of

quilting books from the husband of another of

our members that passed away last summer, Patti

Wadsworth. The books will be a wonderful ad-

dition to our library. We appreciate this thought-

ful gesture from her husband.

Dog and Cat Bed Update

Jane Sanks

Thank you for all of your contributions to this

project. Before the Quilt Guild’s involvement, I

was unable to find enough stuffing to meet the

requests for beds. Now, I am able to supply eve-

ry organization that makes a request with a bed

for each animal they are sheltering.

In 2012, I was able to complete 229 beds. In

2013, that number rose to 298. I am off to a

good start for 2014 in trying to complete one bed

a day.

Due to feedback from the shelter, I plan to

eliminate upholstery scraps. The batting and

fabric scraps are wonderful and I appreciate your

contributions more that I can say.

One lucky result for me is that I thoroughly

enjoy the Guild meetings. I have learned quite a

few things about quilting and met some very tal-

ented quilters. I have been inspired to begin

quilting again; if I

can only find the

time.

New Member Sew-In

Lynn Purple

At the January Sew-In, we had twelve gals

sewing. Some were working on hand pieces,

some brought their sewing machines and Carol

Brown, who had no quilting projects, brought her

knitting for cancer patients. You see, it doesn’t

just have to be for new members. Seasoned mem-

bers of our Guild are encouraged to come. It is

really a lovely way to spend the day and a great

way to get to know other members.

Well, it was so much fun we’re doing it again!

The FKQG Sew-In will be on February 10 at the

Sarasota Senior Center. The time is from 11:00

a.m. to 4:00 p.m. You can bring your lunch or buy

the delicious sandwiches that the center has ca-

tered. There will be an ironing station and a cut-

ting station (bring your own rotary cutter).

We will also talk about the 2015 Quilt Show

Boutique and what baskets the new members

group wants to provide. So, come with your ideas.

The Boutique Charimen would like the contents to

be worth at least $100 at retail, new items, quality

fabric and books that are good-as-new.

Our space is limited, so I need to know who is

coming on February 10.

Dinner at Der Dutchman

Before the January meeting, 25 members -

new and seasoned - met for dinner. I can’t ex-

plain how much fun this is. Everyone is so de-

lightful and the conversation is so lively. Do

yourself a favor and put dinner at Der Dutchman,

5:00 p.m. the night of the guild meeting, on your

calendar. The only caveat, is that I need to know

if you’re coming by 3:00 p.m. that day so that the

restaurant can be ready for us.

Library News

Anna Vaughn

Hello all!

I want to introduce myself as your new Li-

brarian. My name is Anna Vaughn and I am ex-

cited to take on this challenge although I have

big shoes to fill after Trish. I love quilting, re-

search and reading, so this is going to be so

much fun for me. I want to ask you all for help.

If you have any suggestions for books to add to

the library, please do not hesitate to come to me.

I love suggestions and love to see others get as

excited about books as I do.

At the last meeting, we were graciously given

four boxes of books in perfect shape from Rick

Wadsworth, the husband of the late Patti

Wadsworth (a dear friend of Karen Clark and

member of our guild). These books were so well

taken care of. I am honored to add these books

to our Library. I know some of these will be

doubles of what we already have, so some will

be on sale in the bookstore.

This brings me to my next topic, the BOGO

sale was such a success last month that we will

be doing it again in February!

So in closing, I am very excited for this new

adventure and hope you can stop by the Library

table and say hi!
