Next Meeting – January 13, 2020

president’s message

Dear TBQ Friends,

Friends are like quilts; they never lose their warmth.
It is hard to believe the year is over. I hope you have gotten all of your sewing projects done. The Christmas party team did a great job with the food and gifts, and the table decorations by Kristine White were outstanding! I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday.

We are in need of a WEB photographer, as well as a Company Store team. Please let Carol Wright,  Yvonne Blitch or Jude Bentley know if you are interested in the WEB photographer,  and let me know if you are interested in the Company Store.

Wish upon a quilt.
Live life like a quilt. Be soft when it’s important, be warm when it’s cold, be proud to show your true colors, and always scrap together when times are tough.

See you all in January at the First Lutheran Church!

Linda Craig – TBQ President 2019-2020

Adult Center Display
Go see the Christmas Quilts!  Did you?  If you didn’t already, you still have a wee bit of time.  Big BIG thank you’s to the following quilters who have graciously shared their Christmas quilts:  Jean Ehlers, Jane Holland, Shirl Kelliher, Norma Kurr, Carol Miller, Sandy Mitchell, Kathleen Semerau, and Susan Sweet.  This is the seventh year we’ve hung Jane’s Christmas Houses–that quilt has n.e.v.e.r. been home for Christmas!  There are FIVE of the Christmas star sampler quilts on display.  They were made by the Featherweights mini-group.  All blocks are from the Kansas City Star blocks that were published in the newspaper years ago.  And the special treat is the 1859 antique quilt shared by Susan Sweet:  Captain Asah Coleman’s Quilt.  It’s the quilt we reproduced as one of TBQ’s Opportunity Quilts a few years back.  If you haven’t seen it–you must go see it! 
 
And we have to remind you that this year marks the start of our THIRTEENTH year of hanging quilts at the Adult Center!  WOW!  Could there be anything more beautiful than this on-going mini-Quilt Show?  I don’t think so…enjoy the celebration!!!
 
The Christmas quilts will come down around the middle of January…and then…and then…and then?  Watch for the ONE WOMAN QUILT SHOW by none other than the one and only JANE HOLLAND!  Woohoo!  This marks our 7th One Woman Quilt Show! 
 
And of course we are always open for suggestions for other theme exhibit ideas.  LET US KNOW what you’re thinking!!!
 
Quilt Sizes Needed:
LARGE:  from 60″ to 90″, any length.  (Need SIX.)
SMALL:  from 45″ to 60″ wide, any length.  (Need FOUR.)
