From our Presidents Pen
Welcome back everyone! Hope you had a pleasant and eventful summer. Yes, we did
finally get some lovely warm weather.
With our Quilt Show coming up in May 2013, the year should promise to be a busy one.
If you have not volunteered to help with one of the committees, please consider doing
so. “The more hands to help, the easier the work load”.
Lillian Charron and Cathy Welte are our co-convenors. Please let them know that you
are available and what you can do to help. Secondly, we hope you have been busy bees
making all kinds of quilts for the quilt show. If everyone could submit one or two quilts,
we will have an awesome quilt show. The “Call To Entry” form and “Some Rules to Play
By” will be posted on the website. You will need an entry form for each quilt that you
submit.
Our September meeting should be a bit less chaotic with quite a few members having
registered in May. For those who have not registered yet, please remember to bring your
completed membership form and method of payment. REMEMBER that you must have
renewed your membership by this September in order to enter your quilts in the Quilt
Show for 2013. The Membership Form can be found on our website
www.islandquilters.ca.
Also remember to bring back all those great library books and magazines that have
graced your eyes over the summer.
We will have guests from Denman Island to present a brief overview and trunk show
pertaining to their “Creative Threads Conspiracy” Retreat.
For those who missed the June Picnic, it was a great afternoon. The weather was
perfect, the skits were excellent and the food, oh the food, it was delicious and lots of it.
A huge Thank You to the Picnic Committee and to all those who participated in the
presentations in order to make this a great event.
Ginnie and I have “big shoes” to fill and we look forward to being your new co-presidents
for the coming year.

Quilt Show 2013 Report
Well, hope you have all had a good summer and are ready to begin this exciting quilt year. With the upcoming quilt show,
we have lots to do and certainly need more VOLUNTEERS to serve on the committees.
We have had a couple of Quilt Show meetings and things are progressing nicely. We have made several changes and
these will be announced at the Guild Meetings in the coming months.
We hope that all our Members will support this show as we cannot do this alone. I would like to take this opportunity to
remind everyone that this is a QUILT SHOW. The purpose of this event is to show the public what we do as a Guild…we
can be proud of the various donations we make to charitable organizations throughout the year. It is not a judged show
and we hope that each Member will have at least one entry for the show. We are known for our fabulous shows and we
expect this Show to be as great as in previous years. However, we need each and every member to volunteer and help put
this show together.
We have most of our Committees filled, but there are a couple of crucial spots that need to be filled as soon as possible.
PUBLICITY…the duties of this Committee has been divided up into certain categories.
Gail Lambourne has graciously agreed to do the Media portion of this group
Maggie Pickard has volunteered to take quilts and display them throughout various venues in Nanaimo prior to the Quilt
Show.. We are hoping to show a few of the quilts that won ribbons in our previous shows. If you have one and would like
to know more of the details, please contact Maggie Pickard maggiepickard999@yahoo.ca or Lillian Charron
meme150@shaw.ca
Christine Hustins..has also volunteered to be responsible for contacting Guilds and Quilt Shops on Vancouver Island and
the lower mainland to inform them of our upcoming show. Her duties will also include providing them with our
advertising materials.
We need someone to head this committee…I am currently assuming these responsibilities, but as the show gets closer,
there is a lot of work to be done by Co Convener and so I am hoping that someone will come forward and accept this
duty.
We also need at least two people to take on the responsibilities of ordering posters, signs and banners and all other
related advertising materials.
If you would like to volunteer for this position or would like to have more information please contact Lillian Charron
meme150@shaw.ca
PRIZES….We are looking for at least 3 volunteers to work on this committee.
Duties would include:
Contacting various small and local businesses to donate items to be given away to the public and guild members during
the 3 day quilt show. You would be responsible to organize the prizes and do frequent draws throughout the day. If you
are interested in volunteering to help with this committee, please contact Lillian Charron or Cathy Welte.
A big THANK YOU to Val Ursulak for donating that beautiful hand appliquéd quilt and to Blanche Gates who, again,
donated a gorgeous stack and wack quilt. We also have a hand bag, sewn by Bonnie Beil that will be filled with sewing
notions and fabric. These items will be ready for display at the November meeting. We hope that everyone will be ready
to sell loads of tickets for these Raffle Prizes.
Cathy and I would like to extend a big THANK YOU to all the Members that have taken on the task of heading up or
assisting on a Committee..
You have lots of work ahead of you, but you will get to know people better and best of all, it is not only interesting to see
this all come together, but we do have fun. The end result is quite satisfying, so come and join us.

NOTICE OF MOTION
It was moved by Nancy Price-Munn and seconded by Penelope Woodwark “that due to the increase in the cost
of printing, envelopes and postage all members, excluding honourary members, who receive hard copies of
their N.Q.G. monthly newsletter will be required, as of May 2013, to pay $15.00 per annum for the current
cost to produce and mail the newsletter.” Unanimous
This motion will appear in the September newsletter and be voted on at the general guild meeting in
October.
Library News September 2012
September is here! Where did the summer go? Hope everyone has had a chance to read through all those
library materials that were taken out in May! All materials are due back at the September
meeting……please. If you are unable to attend, please phone a friend & ask them to return your materials.
We welcome Judy McLoughlin to our library team. Judy will be our librarian-in-training this year with the
idea of taking over the library next year. Also, Bonnie Palfry will be taking over the magazine section.
See you at the September meeting.

Placemat Committee
Your Placemat Committee welcomes you to a new, exciting and challenging Guild season – culminating in
showcasing all our members’ talents at our Material Magic Quilt Show in May 2013!
Please remember to set aside a bit of time to make some placemats to decorate our tea room at the show, in
addition to the ones we need for our charitable organizations at Christmas time. I did the math... if every
member produces just two placemats, we would be in great shape placemat-wise!
Size of finished placemat should be 12” x 18” – we will have some battings and backings available at our Guild
meetings.
A very sincere note of thanks to Bonnie Dimitry for donating several yards of very nice backing fabrics!

Donation Quilt Committee Report
Welcome back everyone, time to stop thinking of smelling the summer flowers and start thinking of sewing
the many quilts we all have on our to-do lists!
The Donation Quilt Committee had an excellent year last year, distributing more than 170 quilts throughout
the district, with a monetary value of over $15,000. So when I read articles in the newspaper about this
organization or that donating $1000 to a charitable cause and being applauded for that, I think they have
nothing on us! This guild is generous and caring, not to mention frugal with our quilting scraps!
And now a new year begins. We have the usual goals of providing quilts to new moms, preemie babies, youth
and adults in need throughout the greater Nanaimo area. We have completed the request for wheelchair
quilts from Travellers Lodge and are now working on a similar project for Dufferin Place, beside the NRGH.
This is a subsidized senior facility, like Travellers, so we can be quite sure there will be a place for our quilts
and they will be well used.
In fact the coordinator of activities is looking forward to having the wheelchair quilts to put over seniors
when they go out of the facility on day trips, as well as for day to day use. We provided 28 wheelchair quilts
to Travellers last year so that is a reasonable goal for this year also.
For a full list of agencies we donate to and the specific measurements of quilt sizes please go the Nanaimo
Quilt Guild website. There is an icon you can click on or you can access the page through the Membership
icon.
At the September Guild meeting we at the Donation table will be ready with pre-cut batting and various
backing fabrics for you to use in your charity quilts so be sure to stop by and see us. And remember you can
pre-order batting in a specific size to match your needs.
Looking forward to seeing you all again.

QUILT BEE 2013
The 2013 Quilt Bee will be on Saturday, January 26, 2013 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm.
All Quilt Bee quilts will be donated to Haven House in Nanaimo; a place of safe refuge for women and their
children escaping from abusive home situations.
Sign-up sheets (24 teams) will be available at the September Guild meeting.
Each team supplies fabric for the top and the Guild provides batting and backing fabric for a lap-sized quilt
(42” x 54”).
If you are unable to be present at the Bee we welcome your participation by donation of a quilt.
A Potluck Lunch will round out the day’s enjoyment so please bring your favorite dish to share. We also need
2—3 volunteers to set up the potluck table from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm (no sewing required).

The Food Bank
As we start our new year, I’d like to extend our heart-felt appreciation to Norma Franks, who not
only suggested to the membership that we could help many people in our community by making
regular donations to the Loaves and Fishes Food Bank, but kept us aware of the on-going need,
over the last four years. Now, as she takes a break from this responsibility, I hope to continue it
with the same degree of commitment.
For those new to the Guild, participation is definitely voluntary; I know many of our members
donate through churches, other organizations, or at the check-out at the grocery stores.
At each meeting, boxes will be at the left side of the stage. At the September meeting, donations
of anything suitable for lunch boxes would be especially welcome. The Food Bank suggests these
staples on an on-going basis: canned fruit or vegetables; canned fish; pasta, pasta sauce; and
peanut butter.
Each week over 1000 people in the Nanaimo area need help to meet their basic food needs. Over
30% of these are children! Whether you can donate ‘a can or a case’, any donation is welcome!

DID YOU KNOW? - ‘NAME TAGS’
“A member said to another, “I’ve seen you at meetings but I don’t know your name.” It was an
embarrassing moment that could have been avoided if we wore our name tags. Also, new guild
members will find it easier to get to know all the members.”
The above was printed in the November 1986 Newsletter and its message is just as important today as it was
then. But have you ever wondered why some members have handmade name tags while the rest wear their
Guild issued membership cards?
When the Guild formed in 1984, it was suggested that each member wear a name tag so everyone could know
who is who. Nobody wanted to wear the adhesive “Hello My Name is ….” labels, so the President (Gail Wylie)
suggested each member make their own handmade name tag. To encourage members to participate, a
monthly draw was started where only those wearing a name tag could enter their names and win a small
prize.
The name tags were as unique as the person who made them, they came in all shapes and sizes, and all types
of needlework – quilted, patchwork, embroidered and even needlepoint on plastic canvas. Some decorated
their tags with Guild or collector pins, and a few even had real pins and needles attached as the tags made
the perfect “needle-rest” during hands-on programs.
Sadly, the handmade tags met its demise in the fall of 2000. The Guild had grown to the point where each
member was assigned a membership number. These numbers were printed on the membership card which
came with a plastic card holder that could be hung around the neck so that the card could also be used as a
name tag.
Let’s revise the tradition and make it easier for everyone to know our name (our eye sight isn’t what it used
to be) by making a handmade name tag and proudly wear it at all our meetings and workshops. Name tags
make great introductory and conversation items.

More CQA News
HOW FAR CAN YOU STITCH?
In honour of Canadian Quilt Month the CQA is challenging all member guilds and individual members to see
how far across the country we can quilt in inches. The goal is to see how many accumulated inches quilters
can sew in six months. This challenge will run from September 1, 2012 until February 28, 2013.
Our guild has decided to take up the challenge. As the CQA liaison I have become your official “Inch
Collector.” I will be submitting our total each month.
Your job will be to measure and record the circumference of your project on a small piece of paper BEFORE
bringing it to Show and Share. I will collect the slips, tally them up and submit our totals each month. I will
be including the totals for our donation placemats as well. You can also submit measurements for all projects
done during this time frame whether you bring them to share or not. This will be a cooperative project with
quilters across the country but it will also be fun to see how far our guild gets on its own or how far individual
satellite groups can stitch. If you forget to turn in your measurements at the meeting I will collect them by
email ( wendieh@shaw.ca) up to the 20th of each month.
I am looking forward to adding up lots of big numbers!!!!

This is a letter sent to Sidney Lloyd’s husband Bob and his family, with the completion of the
challenge to use Sidney’s fabric to make articles for donation to the Comfort Quilt Society in her
memory:
June 12, 2012
Dear Bob and family,
Last Fall, Margaret Carmichael, a member of our satellite quilt group called “The Thread
Catchers”, brought your wonderful donation of all of Sidney’s fabrics to our sewing day. We
decided as a group to create packages with corresponding colour choices, and then take them to
our Nanaimo Quilter’s Guild and put out a challenge in Sidney’s memory. Each member who
participated signed out a package, and agreed to incorporate the fabric into a placemat or lap
quilt to be brought back and donated to the guild’s Comfort Quilt Society. These items are
ultimately distributed to charitable organizations in Nanaimo including Haven House, Family Life,
Meals on Wheels, The Telephone Answering Society, etc.
Twenty-two guild members returned items, and five more have asked for an extension to
complete theirs by September. We took pictures of the items and have enclosed them for you.
We felt that this was a very honourable way to remember Sidney, our friend and fellow quilter,
and it was a heart-warming project enjoyed by many members who knew and cared very much for
her. Sidney’s friends were enthusiastic about the project and felt very good about using her
fabrics to create something lovely and lasting for someone in need in our community.
We hope that this brings some satisfaction and joy to you and to your family. Sidney will be
fondly remembered in the hearts of many of us.
Most sincerely
The Thread Catchers,
Margaret Carmichael, Gail Lambourne, Sandy Dobson,
Leslie Millward, and Kathy Bush
(and the members of the Nanaimo Quilter’s Guild)

On behalf of Lorna Craig, the “Sew Sisters“ ; Christine Hustins, Grace Ellen Capier, Barbara Waine, Pat Ryan,
Maggie Pichard, Sandra Hreno, and Myself, I would like to thank all the members that came out to the Wind
Up Picnic on June 20th . Your attendance makes the success of the event. We had a total of 70 members in
attendance along with two guests.
The weather was perfect, the food delicious, (so much of it), the prizes numerous and the entertainment was
so much fun! The Parade put on by the Material Magic Committee’s was a roaring success. It was the kick off
for our picnic. We had a obstacle course that the members persevered through, hats off to the ladies for
completing it in record times.
The skits and songs were wonderful. Thanks to the various Satellite Groups that participated and made the
event so much fun, lots of laughs all around. I am sure the pictures will be doing the rounds.
Graham Gates once again provided the perfect music for the day and also accompanied many of the Satellite
Groups during their performances. Thanks Graham for your time and for your patience while we all learned
our songs.
Thanks to Arlene Ackerman for the wonderful job as our MC. You kept things moving along smoothly, Arlene.
Thanks!
We would like to “Thank” the following businesses and individuals that donated prizes, materials, or services

Program Committee Report
Welcome back ladies. I trust your summer was great and you're ready for some serious quilting.
The program committee has selected 5 tempting workshops. Some class samples will be available to
view at the first meeting. It would be helpful to fill out a sign up sheet in advance. There will be a
copy further along in this newsletter.
We have invited Ionne McCauley to join us in October for a two day program on Design principles
for Quilters. This class will help you find your creative inner self, with the use of shape, line, color,
value, space and dimension. www.ionnequilts.com How to achieve unity, variety, and balance in a
design. You will make small exercise pieces using fabrics to explore these all important elements
and principles. Ionne says this class can benefit all levels of Quilters. Class dates are Sunday
October14th and Sunday, October 28 .
November will bring us Kathy Bush for a 2 day program as well. Her class will be on Creating a Wall
Hanging from a Photo. You will turn your favorite photo or picture into a quilted wall hanging. The
first day will be spent transferring and coping your piece, then enlarging, and numbering your
piece. The second day will be concentrating on discussing your pieces and planning the sewing. The
class will be Saturday November 10 and Saturday November 24 .
Cathy Martino will teach us What Comes After Stippling. The date is Sunday February 24, 2013 and
will be beneficial to the Intermediate Quilter. You will make samples of various background fill
designs and discuss how to use them as over all designs. Different marking designs will also be
shown.
Embellishing Quilts with Beads will be our topic for Saturday March the 16, 2013 presented by
Eileen Neill. Embellishing quilts and stitch work with beads and other objects is becoming more and
more popular. You will learn basic and innovative ways to accomplish this. You will begin by making
a small quilt and then use a variety of stitches to attach the beads. You will also explore edgings
and fringes which are stunning on small pieces.
On Saturday April 20, 2013 Sharon Pederson from the Comox Valley will show us a Double Wedding
Ring Quilt the easy way, with emphasis on having a fun and relaxing time. She will have a template
available for this class. Sharon comes with a wealth of worldwide quilting knowledge and considers
this pattern a beginner's level. You will use applique and a rotary cutter. There is a lovely display of
her work on her website www.sharonpederson.com
The program committee has worked hard to bring you a wide variety of workshops. We'll only do
five workshops this year due to this year's quilt show . We hope to fill all the classes so no out of
“guild” money will be required. The full classes should pay for themselves.
Please see the guild calendar for more info on the monthly program events.
We look forward to seeing all of you in September.
Janet Knecht.
