April 2014

April President’s Message
Welcome daylight savings time and spring! The flowers and buds blooming, new
leaves and more daylight energize me! It’s a great time of year to complete quilts
and enter them in the Spring Time in the Pines quilt show. Our next Guild meeting is
April 1, and that’s the deadline for getting quilt show entry forms to Nancyan Tracy.
We are honored to have our very own FAMOUS Sandra Bruce for our April guest
speaker, and workshop presentation, Material Matrix. the next day, Sandra has a
five page article in Quilting Arts Magazine this month! Congratulations, Sandra!
Rumors abound within any group and our Guild is no exception. Recently I was asked why the Guild
needs to do fund raising when there is a projected surplus in the Guild of over $8,000 this year. Hmmm,
that’s news to the Board! The reality is $8,170 is the profit budgeted for the Quilt Show profit. To
summarize the 2014 budget, we have a total income projected of $23,670, and expenditures of $27,662
for a shortfall of $3,662. That means we are spending $3,662 more than we are expecting to take in!
Our expenses are so high because we are very generous to our community and members. We give
scholarships, community services, pay storage and meeting space rent, insurance, have quality speakers
and workshops, and on and on! Some years we are able to add to our surplus, and then there are other
years we have had to use some of our surplus, and are grateful it’s there. If anyone has any concerns or
questions about fundraising, finance, or any activities offered by the Guild, please bring those concerns
directly to an Executive Board member to be addressed.
Our Guild consists of an amazing group of energetic ladies! Without their ideas and capabilities to carry
out projects, we would be a pretty dull place. A huge thank you to Ruth Bertaccini, Joan Mosley and Kate
Grant for the fun March Mixer, Lois Hodges for the Challenge Quilt contest, and Joy Waggener, LeVeta
Nevius and Margaret Boothby for presenting their entertaining play “The Road to
California.” It was a delightful evening and all who attended went away smiling.
Everyone is encouraged to sign up to work on the Quilt Show! It’s always fun to be one
of the helpers and be involved with the set-up, take down or the Show itself.

Patchwork Star for April
Lila Sugg
If you were to look up the word “classy” in the dictionary, you would see Lila's picture. I've always said, “When I
grow up I want to be just like Lila!” She and husband, Tom, have an exceptional panoramic view of Lake Wildwood,
perched high among stately oaks and mossy green rocks. Married 63 years they have lived here 36 years. Life is
good! Precious, doting daughter-in-law Julia, married to their son Edward, makes sure Lila is taken to all quilting
events.
An Asian influence decidedly permeates each room. Flowers were everywhere. I was the bee. Quilts, hooked
rugs, dolls and furniture lent a visual serenity with rich leathery browns, jewel tones, sapphires and vermilions.
Liberal yet subdued touches of Sulky Silver or Madeira Gold metallic quilting threads (stitched with a size 14 needle)
grace many original designs. “Success”, she claims, “is due to Sewer's Aid for machine or hand work.” Adding
emphatically, “I never take my quilts to a professional long-arm quilter. I wouldn't feel like it was mine!” Zillions of
cotton thread spools are ordered through a Connecting Threads catalogue. No glue, no double-sticky products are
ever used. Lila is bent on saving a nickel, searching out deals.
Lila is a natural born artist with a poet's eye for design. She can draw anything! Cherubic young faces and
whimsical animals come alive in her drawings. A special crayon technique, soft and ethereal, graces many quilts.
Forty some years ago she worked painting airplanes at Hamilton Air Force Base where Tom was a pilot. Her favorite
job there, however, was being a secretary where she could dress up. Lila loves to dress prettily. An artistic prodigy,
she has sewn coats and jackets second to none.
Separate bins of lace, ultra suede, elastics, wools and silks are neatly
categorized. Twelve discreetly hidden shelves of “stash”, tightly stuffed,
reveal a beguiling collection of favorites--heavy on the Asian. Claiming, “I
know where everything is”, sweet Lila demystifies her passion. “When
you're a sewer you have to have supplies.” This is a home where beauty in
her person is equal to the beauty in her creation.
A sophisticated iron and ironing board combo called “the Monster” from
Italy is prominent among five sewing machines. A little demo proved it extra
steam worthy with the ability to pre-shrink fabrics. Yes, she is a perfectionist.
Lila is not afraid to try new techniques. She's entered Sulky Thread contests,
hand-painted flowers on the bathroom wall and lately taken a potholder
quilting class. Additionally, she's a needleturn applique purist—no raw edges.
Gleaning fresh ideas from TV, magazines and books, Lila insists, “I'm a good
copier!”
Like a pretty lullabye, soft spoken and unpretentious, Lila is without
pretense. She is a cherished legend among us, prompting a quote from Oscar
Wilde: “Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.”

Quilt Show News.......... Quilt Show Update
As of March 11, with a little over 50 days left before our 30th anniversary show,
we had only 68 quilts entered in the show. We also had only 13 quilts in our
special Charter/Hall of Honor exhibit. I am hoping that each and every one of you
are working hard to get those quilt entries in. We are also in great need for volunteers to work the
show. I know that White Glove, alone, still needs 18 volunteers to work both Saturday and Sunday
with other areas still needing people to work. Please consider what you can do to make this show a
special one. Thank you!
Barbara Ceresa, Quilt Show Chair
To All Members of the Pine Tree Quilt Guild You are cordially invited to attend the

Riddles and Friends. We will have the van available for transport, if needed.
All members may bring one guest for no charge. Any additional guests will be charged $10
each. We will have signups at the April Guild meeting, where you will receive your tickets. If

be had with friends or family.
A note about the mini groups. The ladies from Uncommon Threads have
removed themselves from the competition due to their multiple wins.
Thank you in advance for your generous donations.

QUILT SHOW PUBLICITY
Thank you, thank you PTQG members
for all you are doing to help publicize
the Quilt Show this year! At the last
Guild meeting all of the flyers,
bookmarks and invite cards which were
brought to the meeting were picked up.
In addition several members have
volunteered to take packets of flyers
and bookmarks to out-of-area guild
meetings which they plan to attend and
several have requested additional invite
cards. Yesterday I found our Show
bookmarks already on the counters of
two local businesses – and we haven’t
even started to distribute to local
merchants yet! PTQG members are the
best!
We will have additional flyers and
bookmarks available at the April Guild
meeting. Be sure and pick some up to
share with friends and family, your
church group, golf friends, book group,
etc., etc.! If you have any publicity
suggestions or need additional flyers/
bookmarks, please don’t hesitate to
contact me or any of the other Quilt
Show Publicity Committee members:
Kate Grant, Kristan Harrington, Ginny
Lee and Joy Waggener.
Keep up the good work of getting the
word out about our amazing show – all
your efforts are very much appreciated!
Sharon Ellisor,
Quilt Show Publicity Chair.

Quilt Show Programs
I am still looking for programs from
other Guild shows! It is helpful to see
what other Guilds include or omit. For
example -- how many are including
advertising? What kind? How do they
list quilt entries?
Thanks for bringing me programs.

“Highlights of Guild Positions”
Pine Tree Quilt Guild Scholarships
The Pine Tree Quilt Guild promotes education in the textile arts through participation in the guild, outreach
programs, speakers and workshops. In addition, the Guild furthers its educational goals by the granting of two
scholarships each year to graduating high school students or current college students who are pursuing study in
textile arts, design or other art-related fields.
Applicants must be residents of Nevada County. Applicants may apply to their scholarship office at their respective
high school or may apply directly to the scholarship chair of the Guild who will forward an application to the
applicant. All completed applications must be received no later than April 1st.
One award is in memory of Jeanne E. Gill and the other is in memory of Carol Phillips. Each scholarship is for
$1,500 and is administered by their chosen college upon proof of registration. The scholarship chair is responsible
for sending letters to all the Nevada County public and private schools as well as the junior colleges in the area
inviting students to apply. Once the applications are received in April, a scholarship committee is formed to evaluate
the applications based on art interests, grade point average, need, goals and college preparedness. Two recipients
are chosen and notified. The awards are granted at each school’s Award Night, the students are encouraged to
display a piece of their art work at the Pine Tree Quilt Guild show in May and they are invited to meet the guild at
our June meeting. The scholarship chair coordinates these activities as well as the delivery of the scholarship money
to each applicable college.
Working with the students is an enriching experience. Our scholarships help remarkable students pursue their artrelated dreams.

March Mixer
Smiles and laughter were the actions of
the night! Robin Mello received her Hall
of Honor award. Marjorie McConnell
continued promoting her Community
Service projects, receiving oodles of
material as members tried for a prize in
the drawing. Lorna Tiller collected
money for the cookbook, Sips, Savories
and Sweets which will be distributed at
our April meeting, with remaining
copies being sold at the Quilt Show in
May. Everyone had fun as they chatted,
voted for the Challenge Quilts, and
sampled the treats, many from the
cookbook!

Guild Challenge
Congratulations to the winners! Thanks for the wonderful level of
participation. We had 16 “Color, Shape and Noun” quilts at the
March meeting and they were all beautiful. Please remember to fill
out a quilt show entry form for your quilt. If you have a Challenge
Quilt that wasn’t finished for the voting, please finish it and enter it
in the Quilt Show. They will be hung together so everyone an see
our challenge results.
Special Thanks to the Cook family, Trudie Ferreira and Mary
Serpa. Without their massive and energetic help the quilts would
have been taped to the walls or spread over chairs!
Thanks again to everyone who participated, voted, helped out or
just enjoyed the display.

Community Services and Drop In and Sew
March Mixer Special! ! ! Thank you all for participating. Community Services received a
total of 82 yards of fabric! Congratulations to Lettie Lewis (33 yards) and Anne Wilson (10
yards), the winners of the gift card drawing. Lettie stated that she was just cleaning out her
stash and did not know about the donation special! Thank you Lorna Straka for the idea and
for donating the tickets.
In April we will have two (2) Community Workshop days. Wednesday, April 5, and Thursday, April 17.
We have quite a few small, baby and toddler/wheelchair size quilts that need to be quilted. Please bring
your machine and spend the day quilting – nothing fancy required and this is a great way to practice
quilting. There are two machines available, just call and let me know so that one is reserved in your name.
Quilt Show help needed! Volunteers are needed at the Community Services Booth at the Quilt Show. Shifts are two (2) hours but we
are flexible – even an hour will help us out. We have a new location this year . . . right inside the doors of the Northern Pines Building,
next to Silent Auction and across from Baskets. I think this may be the most fun area of the whole show! Everything is provided –
sewing machines, thread, needles, fabric, and design board. All you need to do is glide in between your other shift responsibilities and
sew, maybe answer a question or two here and there. Call or email Marjorie, 265 9787, maggie2@sonic.net, or sign up at the April
meeting.
CS quilts are not only made for the December distribution. If you know anyone who needs a quilt, we distribute throughout the year.
We meet at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, Grass Valley, 9:00 – 3:00; 2014 calendar dates below. We will be working on a variety
of easy quilts, assembling quilt kits, matching tops to backs, and working on the baby quilts for Nicaragua and the graduation quilts for
foster youth. I have received a few for both programs so please let me know if you are also working on one. Small and large quilt tops
are also available for you to practice your free motion quilting – stitch in the ditch, sew from corner to corner, stipple, meander, or
whatever you want to try. Let me know – I will bring quilts to guild meeting, meet you, or you can work on one at Community
Services. Community Services continues to make good use of your donations of scrap batting, thread, plastic zipper bags, and fabric.
All of these items go into making or storing quilts.
Please join us for an hour or for the day – we have a project to fit your time constraints. Remember – chocolate, homemade cookies,
coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and lots of fun and laughter. Do bring a lunch or a snack. If you cannot attend CS but would like to help, please
contact me. No need to bring supplies – we also have sewing machines, rulers and rotary cutters, fabric, and thread.

HOME WORKSHOPS
Thursday-April 17
9:30 am- 2:30 pm
Class at the SDA Church on Osbourne Hill Rd. G.V.
The home workshop is off to a good start with a near full class signed up for March.
( The workshop is after our newsletter deadline so I can't share results yet!)
At the April meeting you'll have a chance to sign up for Carol Hribal's class for making a
SCRAPPY STRIP STAR.
This class will give you a chance to use up those small pieces of fabric that you've been saving and didn't know
what you were going to use them for!
Carol is one of our Charter Members and in our Hall of Honor. We are happy to have her share her knowledge
with us!All you need to do is SIGN_UP for the class at our April 1st Guild meeting and pick-up your SUPPLY
LIST. This is a FREE class for guild members.
We are looking for members to share a technique or a special pattern
so we can complete our schedule for the year.
There is so much talent among our guild members,I hope some of you will step forward to share .
We would also like some input as to what you would like to see taught in these workshops.
......Until then Keep on Quilting

Sandra Bruce
Our own Sandra Bruce is the April speaker. During her presentation she will
share her background and work, as well as an overview of her process called
“Material Matrix”, explaining how it all comes together using color, design,
composition and serendipity!
Workshop: April 2nd!
Seventh Day Adventist Church
Hwy 174 8:30AM
In this workshop, Sandra has students use a photo, which she supplies, to experience and learn her
Material Matrix process. The class is about the process, and all will be following the steps along
with her. Some of the points covered include: What makes a good photo for a quilt; How to
interpret a photo using a grid; value and color; curved piecing; using a mix of prints and solids;
and ideas about quilting. The class is about the process, and her goal is to have each student
leave the class confident that they will be able to finish her quilt and go on to more complicated
images. The supply list is short and sweet!

MAY PROGRAM
At the May program we would like to showcase all of
you. Please bring your first quilt, or the earliest one
that you have, as well as a current one if possible.
I’m sure we’ll all be inspired and encouraged when we
see each other’s progress!

Share and Care
Do you know someone in the Guild who is under the weather and can use some cheering? Whether it is illness,
surgery, or loss of a loved one, please let me know so an appropriate card can be sent. Thanks.......
