Meet Jill Schumacher<br />
National Award winning machine quilter, Jill began making her first quilts at the<br />
age of 12. Having been an art major, Jill has dabbled in many different art forms.<br />
It was not until many years later that Jill was introduced to the art of machine<br />
quilting in 1997. She fell in love with this method of quilting and has not stopped<br />
since first experiencing the thrill of completing each heirloom quilt. Her first<br />
machine quilted quilt won the Best of Show at the Siskiyou County Fair in 1998<br />
and went on to take Second Place in the State level competition. This recognition<br />
started Jill’s journey into competitions and later, the inception of her quilting<br />
business, <strong>Quilt</strong>maker to the Queen. Jill has taken classes across the country from<br />
Master <strong>Quilt</strong>ers and is working toward her own certification as a Master Machine<br />
<strong>Quilt</strong>er.<br />
Jill loves empowering students and shows them the easy way to gain confidence and build their skills so that<br />
they too, will enjoy creating their own heirlooms and masterpieces.<br />
Jill’s Motto: Learning to machine quilt is as easy as learning to ride a bicycle.<br />

<strong>July</strong>, <strong>2012</strong> President’s Message<br />
June’s Show and Tell was spectacular. It’s really<br />
enjoyable seeing all the quilts that our very talented<br />
members produce. In addition to all the other great<br />
quilts, it was fun seeing the results from Bev’s<br />
Retreat.<br />
Hopefully you enjoyed Laurel Anderson’s<br />
presentation as much as I did. It’s inspirational<br />
seeing the work of our speakers and Laurel had<br />
lots to share. I laughed when she said that she<br />
didn’t bring her “boring” quilts. After seeing her<br />
work, I expect those are spectacular too.<br />
Our <strong>July</strong> speaker, Jill Schumacher, “Creating Your<br />
Heirlooms of Tomorrow”, is an expert machine<br />
quilter. Although my skills are in computerized<br />
quilting, I’ve tried to learn hand guided longarming,<br />
but haven’t progressed much past a decent<br />
meander. I admire those who have the talent to<br />
draw beautiful quilting designs using their sewing<br />
machines and hope to gain tips from Jill on how to<br />
improve.<br />
Hope to see all of you at our next meeting on <strong>July</strong><br />
16, <strong>2012</strong>.<br />

JULY WORKSHOP<br />
The <strong>July</strong> workshop is going to be about machine quilting.<br />
This is a great opportunity to get a "hands on" lesson<br />
from one of the best. It is VERY important that the<br />
HOMEWORK for this class be finished. The finished<br />
homework will be your class project for the machine<br />
quilting lessons that will be taught. Prior preparation is<br />
essential for this workshop to be a successful<br />
experience for anyone that attends. So if you get started<br />
now, you will have plenty of time to get it all done.<br />
Although we will take registration right up until the<br />
workshop starts, it is strongly recommended that you<br />
register as soon as possible, then get the homework<br />
done.<br />
The supply list and directions for all the homework is<br />
also available on the <strong>Guild</strong> website: www.fsqg.org<br />
You can call me with any questions, or to reserve a<br />
space at the workshop<br />
