P r e s i d e n t ’s N o t e
While the AQG Board is still working through some
questions about costs, book cover,
photos, and potential advertisers, the
proposed cookbook fundraiser needs
one more facet to make it a "go." That is two or three recipes from you. Though almost 100 recipes have been
put on the website (see page 4 for
easy instructions on how to add 2 or 3
of your recipes), those have been put on by about 20
people. We know from the annual picnics at the
Governor's Western Residence and other get
togethers where you bring food that this guild has
cooks and bakers who produce delicious edibles. So
open the website and look at the categories (including
Quick and Easy) and add two or three of your own. Sharon Smaldone wants to ask some of our guest
lecturers and workshop leaders to provide recipes,
but she needs to know first that we have enough
already on the website to publish a cookbook. Please
add your great recipes this week. If we are to sell the
cookbooks at the quilt show, we need this lead time.
The Board wants your recipes to be public, but it is
concerned about your privacy rights and about
minimizing the number of guild emails you
receive. Your new guild Directory has valuable info,
phone numbers, email and snail mail (my mother's
term) addresses, the Board is trying to balance your
"need to know" with your desire for privacy. We
do NOT publish the information listed above in our
newsletter because that is available on the website to
the general public. You always have access to the
website information and to the information in the
monthly newsletter, the disPatch, whether you
receive it online or it comes in your mailbox. Alice

Helms, our newsletter editor, will send information
between newsletters to everyone by email only when
it is news that involves the entire guild such as an
emergency cancellation of a guild meeting because of
unfavorable weather conditions. And Sandy Gillis,
our webmaster, will follow the same policy. Alice
welcomes news for the disPatch about items of
interest involving our members and quilting so, if
you will provide those to her by the last day of the
month and there is space, she will include those
articles in the next newsletter.
If you have questions about guild news or the
cookbook proposal or anything else, please talk with
one of the members of the Board. You have our

Instructions for Sara's Quilt Blocks
It’s not too late to make a block or two or
three for Sara Hill’s president’s quilt. Sara will
assemble the blocks into a quilt which will hang
in the offices of Habitat for Humanity.
Make an 8 1/2" unfinished block with a
house (for Habitat) either pieced or appliquéd
with or without embellishment. Use mostly
primary colors. Use some kind of sky fabric as
background at the top. Please put your quilt
block in a ziplock bag and pin your name to the
block. Accompanying the finished quilt will be a
page that identifies the maker of each block.
Bring to the next Guild meeting. There will be a
designated space on a table as you enter the
meeting room.

May Lecture and Workshop
Tuesday & Wednesday, May 15 a.m. & 16
Betty Ekern Suiter has won numerous prestigious awards, among them, one of her quilts
was selected as One of the Best 100 Quilts of the 20th Century! Betty’s quilts have been featured
in many books and magazines. You will have an opportunity hear about her quilt making at
her lecture, “Stitched by Hand.”
“Grapes” or “After the Harvest” are the patterns from which to pick for Betty’s workshop.
Students will learn to appliqué sharp inside and outside points and tight inside curves.
Embroidered tendrils add the finishing touch. Betty will show you how to conquer the circles
to make grapes.
You are ready to take this class if you are a CONFIDENT BEGINNER. This means you are
familiar with what an appliqué stitch is and have given it a try. This workshop is to help
you take your skills a step further whether you are a confident beginner or an advanced
hand-appliquér.
Pattern fee: $10 (You bring your fabrics.) - OR - Kit fee: $27 (Betty provides all the fabrics you
need to make the entire quilt top.) www.bettyekernsuiter.com.
June Lecture and Workshop
Tuesday & Wednesday, June 19 pm & 20
Pat Speth’s trunk show, “Five-Inch is a Cinch: How Nickel Quilts Are Created,” is sure
to get you fired up about using 5" squares of fabric. Pat will bring a great assortment of
quilts from her collection. She states, “We focus on the blocks in the quilts and the simple
components they are made from.”
Pat’s workshop, “Half Square Triangles and Four Patches” offer 15 quilts to make
featuring: Jewel Box, Northern Lights, Sunny Lanes, Mount Hood, Flying Home from Bali Bali,
Beach Party, Shoo Fly, Jacob's Ladder, Path and Stiles, Idaho Beauty, Churn Dash, Heritage
Trail, Market Square, Hickory Hills and Texas Two Step.
These units could be considered the cornerstones of quilting. Simple sewing and cutting
techniques will turn your 5" squares into many great quilts. Once you play with these
units on a design wall you may come up with a new block of your own! You will also
learn how to make two different sizes of nine patches from 5" squares and sew a mystery
block! A handout will be given and discussed on how to make your pieced border fit your quilt top. Rated: All
skill levels.
To see Pat’s quilts related to this workshop, go to www.patspeth.com or see her books at the Workshop table.

A big “thank you” to all the members who returned

choosing fabrics from your own stash or picking up kits. We

Color Your Life …. With Quilts
September 28 - 30, 2012
We have a Quilt Show Facebook page now,
thanks to our Publicity Chair, Peggy Newell. If you
participate in Facebook, use the search bar at the top
to find "Asheville Quilt Show" & please "Like" our
page, and encourage all of your "Friends" to do so
also. Let's show Peggy how much we appreciate her
efforts on this. We're offering a free raffle ticket for
the Opportunity Quilt to the 50th, 100th and 150th
person to "Like" our page! It's a way to get news out
to those who might like to attend our quilt show,
especially "late breaking" news, like the hotel
discounts we got last year, and already have in place
this year.
If you were at the April AQG meeting, you got a
lot of information about what qualifies to be entered
into our quilt show. The short answer is: almost
anything you made in the past 2 years! Can you
enter a quilt made from a pattern in a magazine,
book, a purchased pattern, or inspired by a quilt you
saw? YES! Can you enter one started in a class? With the exception of the Art Quilt categories, YES! Can you enter one that is strip-pieced, paper-pieced,
appliquéd, fused, decorated with paints, or thread
painted? YES! Does your entry have to be original? NO, except in the Art Categories. The main
restriction is that your quilt not be made from a kit

finished in the past 2 years - that means you can find
a UFO in your stash and finish it and enter it! If you
have a quilt that doesn't meet the criteria for some
reason, but you'd still like to share it, there is a
category called "Exhibit Only." It will hang in the
show, but won't be judged, and won't be eligible for
prizes. Those who started this show have reassured
me that they wanted it to be inclusive, not exclusive. And that's still true today. Let's all share what we've
been working on, and inspire each other, as well as
our neighbors and friends who might like to try the
art of quilting, or just enjoy the variety of talents that
we know exist in our wonderful guild. Your friends
will ooh & aah when they see your creation hanging

Keep your eye on our Quilt Show page on the

a wonderful job of posting new information. Soon
we'll have a listing of Sponsors, as well as our 20+
Vendors and our Demos. And we are very close to
having a new way to sign up for volunteer jobs from
your home computer, thanks to the hard work of
Lorie Groetzinger, JoAnne Hewatt, Yolanda Hall &
Sandy Gillis. Thanks to Charlotte McCranie for the
idea to pursue this. Remember that each member is
asked to volunteer for at least 2 hours to help make
the show happen. We need everyone's energy and
time to bring off our annual celebration of everything

Micki Batte recently organized a quiltmaking
project for families and friends of organ donors in
Western Carolina.
When Micki found out that families and friends
had made quilt blocks several months ago, she
volunteered to make them into quilts. Norene Goard
quilted the quilts and they will be hanging in the
lobby of Mission Hospital until May 9th when they
will be displayed at a ceremonial dinner for the
families of these wonderful gift givers. More blocks
will be collected at the dinner which Micki will make
into a quilt for next year. Micki said, “It’s been an
honor to do this in memory of the donors for their
families.”

Bee News
Joan Tolley and members of the East-Enders Bee worked from September to April with Mr. Jim Griffin's
fourth grade class at Black Mountain Elementary School to make pillows for their Mothers for Mother's Day. Mr. Griffin used the beginning classes to show how math is used to create squares for quilts. “The children
learned to thread a needle and hand sew their blocks together for the first few meetings and then we brought our
sewing machines and they really liked that,” said Joan. The children sandwiched the top with batting and
backing and then tied them. In the final class the children stuffed their pillows and hand sewed them closed. Everyone had a great time working with the children.
The class was featured on the WLOS Never Stop Learning report on April 24th. To see the video, go to:
