Issue 32
July 1st, 2018
Dear Guildies,
Happy Summer and Happy Independence! I hope you all have a fun and safe mid-week holiday. Be sure to check out The Sewing Studio's fantastic July 4th sale this Wednesday. You are sure to run into many fellow members scrambling for some great deals.
Get ready! This month brings 3 Sew Days! YAY! Maitland is July 9th, Dr Phillips is July 21st, and Oviedo is July 28th. The usual August Dr Phillips day is not available but Rene snagged a special Friday, August 10th, 12:30-4:30. Perfect for all our new Sewcial and Interest Groups to plan a meet up.
I know Sarah and a few others have visited the special Pulse Memorial exhibit at the Orlando History Center. The photos I've seen of it take my breath away and put it at the top of my must see list. Be sure to check it out while it's on display until October. Photos courtesy of Sarah.
 
Did you sign up for QuiltCon 2019 in Nashville? It was a mad dash to snag your favorite classes this week before they filled up but you can still register to attend the convention and lectures.
Check out this month's Member Highlight featuring Kate Elliott at the end of the newsletter.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the newsletter, please email me. I would also love to hear of any quilty news or ideas for content you'd like to share. Constructive feedback is always welcome.
Happy stitching,
Ashley Gottshalk
Secretary

Interest Groups and Bees
Have you participated in any of the outside interest groups yet? It has been an amazing month to see all of the friendly faces and conversations happening as we sit and sew, and learn! I never knew exactly what EPP was, nor did I know how to use a “Add a Quarter “ ruler, or especially how to edit on my Scan and Cut… While it sounds like a lot, I wanted to participate because I am curious and just to see how things were going and I can report that they have been going great! Meanwhile, I cant believe how much I love each and every one of these skills I have learned. I am grateful we have some of the nicest members in our guild who are taking the time to organize and facilitate these groups. If you want to learn any of these skills, or just sit and sew and have some great conversation, (and snacks, too) enroll thru Sign Up Genius, and please join any of the groups… all are welcome !
Meanwhile, the bees are into their 2nd and 3rd months, and results are starting to happen, I hope we see some reveals, soon!
July Meeting Program
This Friday's meeting is sure to be a lot of fun and full of helpful information.
How to handle those achy muscles we get from too much sewing!
Catherine from the Sewing Studio will be our guest speaker to talk all about proper sewing posture, ergonomics, cabinet and table heights, etc. And, we might have a special guest to lead us in how to deal with some of these achy muscles at home!

Call for Blocks – Beth Schmidt – Chairperson
This month Beth will send 2 quilts to San Jose, Texas for a buyback guns program. Yes, you heard that correctly, they are giving a guilt to everyone who hands in gun to their police department. Below is an excerpt from an April 2018, Newsletter from Meg Cox:
Quilt activism isn't a new idea but the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles is taking it in a powerful new direction. The museum just opened an exhibit of artworks that grapple with the issue of gun violence, and I'll tell you about the quilts in a minute. While many are striking, they aren't as remarkable as what the museum is doing next: spearheading an unusual gun buyback program with the local San Jose police department…. Starting in December, every gun owner who brings one or more guns to the police will receive cash AND a quilt. The tagline for the campaign: "Trade something hard for something soft. "New, attractive, functional quilts that are lap-sized or larger are needed -- potentially a great many of them (the last several San Jose buybacks led to the surrender of between 200 and 690 guns.) The museum says the color and pattern of the quilt is totally up to you but they are not specifically looking for gun-themed quilts or fabrics. Think beauty and comfort!
We are also in need of HST for our ‘stash’ for quilts we keep for when there is a Call for Blocks. They should be half white/half bright, 10 inch square.
Placemats for Meals on Wheels – Kate Elliott – Chairperson
In June Kate Elliott delivered 30 place mats to Orange County Meals on Wheels and Sue Kenard delivered 30 place mats to Osceola County Meals on Wheels. Both were truly excited to get them and will be distributing them to brighten a few folks’ day. Please continue to make them and we will continue to deliver them.
Quilts for Health Central Park ALF (Assisted Living Facility)
Have you started a quilt because you wanted to try that technique but don’t know what to do with it? Kathy Aber will collect any quilt you want to give to the residents of Health Central Park ALF. You have until January 2019 when they will be given to Health Central Park.
Quilts for Samaritan Village - Kathy Aber – Chairperson
Teams are on their way and if you are part of a group you should be busy sewing your blocks. If you haven’t been assigned to a team please contact Kathy Aber and she can get you in a team. The more the merrier! Each team will have their quilt completed to be presented to the Samaritan Village by November. Here’s some pics of blocks in progress. Don’t forget to post your progress on IG #orlandomqgcommunityoutreach2018
 
2018 Festival of Trees – Kate Elliott – Chairperson
The team has been established and design is underway to be completed and delivered to the Festival of Trees coordinator by the November meeting.
2019 Quilt Con Quilt – Kathy Aber – Chairperson
The theme is ‘Small Piecing’. Alissa has designed the quilt which will be shown at the July Guild meeting. Kits will be distributed at the August meeting to be handed in by the September meeting for piecing, quilting and binding to be completed by the December meeting.
November Retreat Nov 9 – 12
Anyone interested in joining the committee? Contact Marge Cree. We’ve already got a few surprises in store.
We are starting to collect door prizes. If anyone wants to donate a door prize please bring to the guild meetings. Just remember, it should be something that you would like to win! This is not the fabric auction. Just a fun sewing supply, new or slightly used, that you may not have use for anymore would be a great prize.
Don’t forget to register online or by phone.
