Volume 32 Number 7 September 2012<br />
Guest Speaker Marguerette Tate<br />
I will share my lifetime love of sewing and some of my discoveries in my lecture. I'm still exploring and creating<br />
every day. My trunk show is very extensive and includes all of my techniques. I also allow photographs in both<br />
lecture and workshop.<br />
As a former school teacher I bring 35 years of instructional experience to my workshop and lectures.I enjoy<br />
sharing my knowledge and ideas with others, especially helping fellow <strong>quilt</strong>ers use their ideas and skills to<br />
create <strong>quilt</strong>s that are just a "little outside of the box". I like sharing my ideas and techniques to inspire <strong>quilt</strong>ers<br />
to become confident designers and <strong>quilt</strong> makers. I have designed my workshops so all <strong>quilt</strong>ers can be<br />
successful.<br />
I prepare my background just as an artist prepares a canvas before beginning to apply paint. I use my sewing<br />
machine and/or a needle and thread as my paint brush. Sometimes I use beads, yarn, vintage jewelry, tulle,<br />
buttons, and foil candy wrappers for embellishment. I use pictures (often on a calendar), nature, familiar <strong>quilt</strong><br />
designs, photographs, and my imagination to create <strong>quilt</strong>s with dimension. Some consider me to be a fiber<br />
artist, but I don't consider most of my <strong>quilt</strong>s "Art Quilts". I think ALL <strong>quilt</strong>s are a form of artistic expression.<br />
Marguerette's Workshop<br />
Kit's are recommended. $30. for Animals includes all the fabric required and it is<br />
fused with Steam a Seam. This is a huge time saver. Small flower $10. The Kit also<br />
includes the Background fabric, patterns and instructions. Optional Bead Kits ($2-$3<br />
per pkg.) Other tools needed are; Foam Core Board (20x30 or 30x40), scissors<br />
(both Paper and Fabric). Small Travel Iron (if you have one).<br />
Sewing machine not necessary unless you are an over-achiever.<br />
Call Barbara Clemens to order your Kit (otherwise you take what you get...)

September, 2012 President’s Message<br />
Well, we tried the new meeting schedule and all went well. Hope you enjoyed having Bobbi Finley<br />
present at the beginning of the meeting and being able to shop during the break.<br />
The August fundraiser fabric sale by the Silver Stitchers was quite successful. We made over $300<br />
that we will put to good use.<br />
Bobbi Finley was a very interesting and informative speaker. I hope you enjoyed her slide show and<br />
beautiful <strong>quilt</strong>s. I look forward to seeing your samples from the workshop.<br />
Our speaker for September is Marguerite Tate. The machine appliquéd and embellished samples<br />
she sent for our review were stunning. Her workshop looks like it will be fun.<br />
I look forward to seeing all of you at our next meeting on September 17, 2012.<br />
Mary Stephens, President<br />

NEW; Scrapbooking!<br />
Affiliate members of the <strong>guild</strong> are offered the opportunity to showcase their business in the <strong>newsletter</strong>.<br />
I have just started a Creative Memories business so I am taking advantage of that privilege. For those of you<br />
who may not be familiar with Creative Memories—it is organizing your photos and getting them out of those<br />
boxes in the garage or out of your cameras or phones; it’s scrapbooking; it’s digital albums. It’s getting those<br />
photos into your life and enjoying them!!! It’s just another fun part of life.<br />
I’d love to help you have fun with your photos. You can contact me to talk about your needs, have a party or<br />
come to a fun album-making workshop. Call me at 310-650-1864 or e-mail judychristo@aol.com and take a<br />
look at my web site www.mycmsite.com/judychristopher<br />
Creative Memories offers so many opportunities to the novice as well as the "career scrapbooker". My role is to<br />
help you do it!<br />
