December 2011 Newsletter
From the President:
Thanksgiving is just around the corner! I hope that all of you have a wonderful day planned! We are continuing in our new tradition of surf and turf for our Thanksgiving meal as opposed to the traditional turkey. This set my brain to thinking and pondering about what other people eat on Thanksgiving. I wonder what was really eaten in the early days. Maybe possum, fish, deer, raccoon, rabbit. I doubt it was butterball or honeysuckle. Then they had to catch, kill, skin and gut before they could cook. Do you think that they just ate the choice part or did they use the whole animal? Was there a quilting bee going on as the community pitched in together? What did the men do without football? So many questions to answer.
One thing I think for certain was the giving of thanks was and is the most important part. I am thankful for all of you. I am thankful for my family and friends. I am thankful that we no longer cook over an open hearth and sew everything by hand, in the light of a candle after gathering eggs, milking the cow and all the chores I can't even think of. I am thankful that we live in a wonderful country that has Thanksgiving. I am grateful that God has blessed us all so much by putting us in this time and place and for all that He does.
I wish each and every one of you a Safe and Happy Holiday and wish you safe journey. Happy Thanksgiving!! Lynn Lucas

December is the Christmas party. Bring potluck, and help with our annual stockings for the Pediatrics ER project. The following have promised to bring:
Sewers: Bring sewing machines with ¼” foot or measure, neutral sewing thread (exempt from bringing food): Helen Brown, Sue Spillane, Deborah Hotchkiss, Gretchen Brown.
Ironers: Bring iron and ironing surface (can be small surface—stockings will be about 4” in size): Sallie Schirm, Mary Cross.
Trimmers/turners/finishers: bring fabric scissors (turners, ribbon and large needles will be provided): Wilma Black, Dee Doebler, Pat Whittle, Jodi Spillane, Joyce Browder, Sandra Baker, Lynne Flatley, Amy Ramsay.
--Beth Karr
First of all, thanks to everyone who has finished the challenge quilts. I was amazed at the imagination used to create them. Congrats to the winners, Helen Brown and Leslie Mullins.
December is our Christmas party. But before we play, we have to make the Christmas stockings for kids. It always amazes me how fast we get them finished.
I plan on having a dice game with lots of prizes, so bring shin guards and elbow protection--you know how rowdy we get when stealing the favorite things someone else has. No skill required, just a long arm and a quick shake of the dice is all that is needed.
Also I will have a guessing game, so bring quarters to play. How high can you count? Take a chance and win a nice prize, closest guess will be announced at 8:30.

A very dear friend gave me a most wonderful framed Quiltation this past month. It says "Every life is lived on day at a time." and "Every quilt is made one stitch at a time." I love this, as it touched me to the core. These words are so true! How lucky we are to have the most wonderful opportunity to do both! I thank God, that all of you are part of both in my life! I pray that you will treasure one another also as we continue on this crazy quilt of life. Looking forward to our next meeting and seeing what you all do for the challenge quilts. --Lynn Lucas

Newsletter Upcoming Vacancy
Since I’m taking over Charity in January, I’m giving up the newsletter at that time, after many fun years. Only about 6 members get the newsletter by mail, so postage and home printing is minimal, and reimbursed by DQ. I send out a monthly reminder to the contributors, edit what comes back, and off it goes.
The editor can use any style and format she wants, and it’s a fun way to keep up with basic computer skills. I’ve also been sending out the rosters, and by-laws to new members, but these can be negotiated back to the Membership person. Be creative! If interested, tell a Board Member. --Beth
Future Programs
October 3rd meeting. We have a fiber art group Called ATW coming to give us a trunk show. They will be first on the agenda, so don't be late! We will have time for you to meet them personally and see their art close up before a short business meeting and Show and Tell.
November 7th is Challenge night. Bring your challenge quilts for us to see and vote. Also, while counting is going on, we will have a show and tell of Broken Star quilts. If you have made one, or have one, please bring it in. The Richland Library show is only a year away and we need lots of gorgeous quilts to hang. Hopefully you will get inspired to make one.
December 5th is the Christmas party and stocking assembly. It is amazing how many stockings get finished in a short time.

Newsletter Upcoming Vacancy
Since I’m taking over Charity in January, I’m giving up the newsletter at that time, after many fun years. Only about 6 members get the newsletter by mail, so postage and home printing is minimal, and reimbursed by DQ. I send out a monthly reminder to the contributors, edit what comes back, and off it goes.
The editor can use any style and format she wants, and it’s a fun way to keep up with basic computer skills. I’ve also been sending out the rosters, and by-laws to new members, but these can be negotiated back to the Membership person. Be creative! If interested, tell a Board Member. --Beth
Future Programs
October 3rd meeting. We have a fiber art group Called ATW coming to give us a trunk show. They will be first on the agenda, so don't be late! We will have time for you to meet them personally and see their art close up before a short business meeting and Show and Tell.
November 7th is Challenge night. Bring your challenge quilts for us to see and vote. Also, while counting is going on, we will have a show and tell of Broken Star quilts. If you have made one, or have one, please bring it in. The Richland Library show is only a year away and we need lots of gorgeous quilts to hang. Hopefully you will get inspired to make one.
December 5th is the Christmas party and stocking assembly. It is amazing how many stockings get finished in a short time.
Visitors
Our regular meeting is held on the first Monday of the month (second Monday for July and September 2011) at 7:00 pm at Shandon Presbyterian Church at the corners of Blossom, Woodrow and Devine Streets in Columbia, SC.

Quilt Collector Obituary/Collection info from The NY Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/17/arts/ardis-butler-james-quilt-collector-dies-at-85.html
Mrs. James had long been a fabric addict, an affliction most commonly seen in women and not universally understood by men. She was fortunate: Once, offered a fur coat by her husband, she chose a sewing machine instead and he did not demur. (A friend of hers, by contrast, had to spirit her fabric purchases home in a grocery bag, concealed beneath a mound of potCopyright Q & A for Quilters
Do you have questions about how copyright law applies to you? Do you wonder if you can enter your recent quilt in the guild show? Or are you curious whether or not you can sell the quilts you make from patterns? There are plenty of quilters who share your concerns and this article will address some frequently asked questions - but first, a brief overview of copyright law.
The basic rule of copyright is that only the copyright holder may do any of the following:
Make copies of the original design in any medium. Taking a photograph of a quilt is even considered making a copy.
Make derivative works. Derivative works are those that include some elements or aspects of the original design.
Distribute copies of the work to the public by selling, lending, leasing or otherwise transfer of ownership.
Display the copyrighted work or copies of it publicly. Public display is any showing beyond close family and friends.
Of course there are exceptions to these restrictions. Fair use is one area of exception that includes comment, criticism, news reporting, public school and university teaching, scholarship and research. This set of exceptions allows newspapers and magazines to show and discuss work, or for a student or researcher to make copies or quote from a protected source.
The exception that is of most interest to quilters and other visual artists is known as the "first sale doctrine." This is a rule of law that states that once a copyright holder sells or otherwise disposes of a copy of a protected work, the new owner of that copy may display, distribute, sell or pass ownership to another without the permission of the original designer. The only thing the new owner may not do is make a copy of the copy. The key to this exception is that the new owner must have legally obtained the copy.
Finally, and importantly, the holder of the copyright may give his or her permission for another to undertake any of their exclusive rights, including permission to make a copy. Permission is usually required to be in writing, but there is one exception to that: a non-exclusive permission or license. This type of permission may be oral or implied from the circumstances.
This is all very technical legal information. But as we go through the following questions - posed by quilters - and their answers, the meaning of these rules and exceptions will hopefully become clear.
1. How do I copyright my work (i.e. become a copyright holder)?
A copyright comes into existence as soon as an original design is made in a tangible form. That would include a drawing or computer design as well as the actual quilt. There are reasons for registering a design with the U.S. copyright office. If you plan to sell patterns and want to establish that the design is yours, registration is a good idea. The information and forms required are online at: www.copyright.gov.
2. How do I know if quilts I have design are really my originals?
Under copyright law, original means that it comes from your own creative processes without copying from the work of another. Strange as it may seem, two people may come up with the same design and each may be an original a protected by copyright. As long as the design is from your independent work, it is original.
3. If I make a quilt from a pattern, magazine or book, can I sell or donate that quilt?
As long as you are using a published pattern that you have purchased, the quilt you make from the pattern is a legal copy and is yours to sell, donate or give away. This is the right provided by the first sale doctrine. What you cannot do is copy or photocopy the pattern itself.
4. Can I sell multiple items made from a copyrighted pattern?
This is not an issue that I have found addressed by any court. In my opinion, I believe that the implied permission granted you by purchasing the pattern is limited to a "reasonable" number of copies. A designer expects you to make one or two copies. If you make 50 to sell, you are undercutting their opportunity to benefit from their design. I believe you should get permission from the copyright holder before making a large number of copies or using their design for a fund raising quilt. The commercial nature of these activities may take them out of the implied permission to make copies.
5. If I want to make multiple copies for sale, can I pay a royalty to the designer? If so, how?
You should contact the designer and ask permission to make the copies. If the designer requests a royalty payment, you can negotiate the amount and make arrangement for sending payment.
6. Can I copy antique quilt designs?
Yes. Copyrights are time limited. How long a copyright lasts depends on when the design was created. Right now, copyrights last for the life of the designer plus 70 years. But the law prior to 1978 was that a copyright lasted for 28 years and then could be renewed for 28 years. The old classic designs are in the public domain and may be used by anyone for any purpose.
7. I get inspiration from artwork (paintings, folk art, etc.) Do I need to credit the artist for my needlework design?
It is always a good idea to give credit when your quilt has been inspired by the art of another. It's also good manners to credit a teacher when the work is made from a class or acknowledge the designer if a quilt is made from a pattern. There is no law that requires this however.
8. I use coloring books for my appliqué quilts with such designs as the Pink Panther, Mickey Mouse, etc. Is there a problem with this?
Yes. These characters are protected by copyright and, in some cases, by trademark. Using those images without permission violates copyright. Buying a coloring book does not extend permission to make copies.
9. If a block is from the 1800's (Nine Patch, Shoofly, Crazy patch), can a magazine claim a copyright and prevent others from using the pattern they print?
No. Once a design is in the public domain (out of copyright) it cannot be copyrighted again. Magazines claim copyright in the pages of their issues. They won't prevent you from making a copy of an antique block. They can prevent you from copying the pages of their magazine.
10. Can I sell a quilt that includes a licensed fabric? (Disney, John Deere tractors, sports logos)
This is a difficult question. Under the first sale doctrine, once you buy the fabric you can sell it, cut it up, do with it what you wish. Also, the copyright holder would expect that the fabric would be used to make an item. Arguably you should then be able to sell the item you make from the fabric. In the few cases with a similar issue, courts have come to conflicting decisions. Companies who own these images have attempted to prevent commercial use of their fabrics. I don't know how other courts might decide.
These are only a few of the questions that quilters have about copyright law. Not all of the questions have a definitive answer. But it's good to keep asking. And when in doubt, ask permission.

I know that Lynn Buske has some exciting things planned for us this summer also. We are having company so I will be doing the tourist thing. We all need to do the tourist thing in our own world. Aside from being tons of fun, we get to see our city and state in a whole new light. We will have a blast here. I have been quilting away as I hope you have also. See you soon!

Programs
July 11 will be an ice cream social with 2 demos by members. One demo is a new marking gel pen that erases with heat, the other is bobbin work, what is it and how to do it.
August 1 is our Annual Potluck meeting. We will have a demo by 2 members on hand applique and how to transfer the designs to your block using new methods. The second demo will be variations on a disappearing 9-patch.
September 12 is the Silent Auction (a change in month). Bring things you wish to donate and sell, be thinking about making something (does not have to be quilt related). That piece of fabric you don't want to use can be something someone else needs. Old quilting magazines and books are always welcome.
October 3, we have a trunk show from the Charleston area from the art group ATW,
ART THAT WORKS. They are very excited to be coming to Columbia.
November 7 has the challenge quilts due.
And December 5 is the Christmas party and our annual Christmas stockings sew in.
Love Goddess’ Report on Love Quilt Programs
We had a wonderful night last month with the preparing of quilt kits. Fifteen kits were prepared with fabric and batting. Eleven went home with members to be pieced and quilted. I have several kits which I will bring to the July meeting. I also have a couple of quilts that need to be quilted. I will also bring those in July.
I received the last Epworth quilt on Friday so will make a run to the Children's Home and deliver these love quilts for the senior girls going on to college.
We need to make a decision on Epworth as one of the continuing recipients of Devine Guild charities.
Remember quilts for Breast Cancer Center and Children's Garden. Bring popsicles (the to-be-frozen kind) for Children's Garden.
I want to thank you all for the lovely quilt I was given last month. Being Love Goddess has been a most rewarding part of this Guild's work. I will treasure it always. I'll also bring it for Show 'N Tell in July.

Joplin Tornado Assistance
Ladies,
Not sure if you have seen the below postings to re-guild Joplin, MO. I've already sent two boxes and am filling up number three. Other guild members might be interested in sending things. I would even donate a sewing machine if I knew someone could drive it there. ---Stephanie
“From now until the end of July and probably beyond - we'd like to gather all quilters for Operation Re-Guild Joplin. After discussing the devastation from the tornado in Joplin with Kat, over at The Quilt Shoppe, and both being in tears, we decided we needed to call in all the forces and reorganize our efforts! We have already begun to collect donations for baby items, quilts, pillowcases, stuffed toys and then realized that the guild and quilters who lost their source of supplies and place to meet and sew are in need of supplies. Lets all help rebuild these quilters’ lives by allowing them to continue with their passion of quilting during this most difficult time. We're asking for donations of books, patterns, fabric, notions, rulers - anything you can imagine a quilter needing. Thanks for all the donations, so far. We can do this! We ARE Quilters! You can bring your donations into Stitchin' Heaven & The Quilt Asylum or mail them into:

From the President:
Howdy Ladies, Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. It sure has arrived with a big hello from the heat. I have vowed to embrace it after the winter that we had. I am looking forward to our July meeting with ice cream. I heard rumor that it will be homemade this year, so my taste buds are watering. I know that Lynn Buske has some exciting things planned for us this summer also. We are having company so I will be doing the tourist thing. We all need to do the tourist thing in our own world. Aside from being tons of fun, we get to see our city and state in a whole new light. We will have a blast here. I have been quilting away as I hope you have also. See you soon! I am off to make peach pie!

Howdy to all, Hope everyone has been busy quilting away and watching their gardens grow. I have little tiny tomatoes and baby cucumbers and oh my, the beans and peas are going nuts from seeds. Our radishes are almost ready to eat, and the herbs have already made their way into our kitchen. I am so thankful for the help I have had this year in the garden. God is so good to send such wonderful help into our lives. I so missed everyone at the last meeting and am so thankful to be standing tall once again. I hope you are looking forward to the June meeting as much as I am. There is absolutely no way to beat a wonderful night of good food, great friends and a good time--hope to see everyone there! Everyone have a safe Memorial Day weekend and see you in June. Keep on quilting away! Lynn Lucas

Upcoming Events
Artful Lives: Molas of the Kuna April 9 – June 25, 2011 McKissick Museum Second Floor
Artful Lives: Molas of the Kuna explores the history and contemporary textile creations of the Kuna women of coastal Panama. In the mid 19th century, Kuna women started experimenting with ways to transfer body painting designs onto cloth. These women have developed a distinctive style unlike that of any other folk culture. They use their clothing as a mode of personal expression, taking great care with decisions about the combinations of skirts and scarves as well as with the creation of their mola blouses. This attention to detail along with their expert stitchery has earned this craft recognition around the world. Today, the sale of these textile arts is the second most important income source to the Kuna and examples are collected by museums around the world. A must see exhibit if you are a quilter - lots of appliqué and reverse appliqué. The exhibition contains dozens of examples of both complete Mola blouses and individual panels. Drawn from the extensive collection of Jean E. Kanes, most have never been exhibited before.

Upcoming Events
Artful Lives: Molas of the Kuna April 9 – June 25, 2011 McKissick Museum Second Floor
Artful Lives: Molas of the Kuna explores the history and contemporary textile creations of the Kuna women of coastal Panama. In the mid 19th century, Kuna women started experimenting with ways to transfer body painting designs onto cloth. These women have developed a distinctive style unlike that of any other folk culture. They use their clothing as a mode of personal expression, taking great care with decisions about the combinations of skirts and scarves as well as with the creation of their mola blouses. This attention to detail along with their expert stitchery has earned this craft recognition around the world. Today, the sale of these textile arts is the second most important income source to the Kuna and examples are collected by museums around the world. A must see exhibit if you are a quilter - lots of appliqué and reverse appliqué.
The exhibition contains dozens of examples of both complete Mola blouses and individual panels. Drawn from the extensive collection of Jean E. Kanes, most have never been exhibited before.
Visitors
Our regular meeting is held on the first Monday of the month (second Monday for July and September 2011) at 7:00 pm at Shandon Presbyterian Church at the corners of Blossom, Woodrow and Devine Streets in Columbia, SC. Use the entrance facing Devine Street and ask at the security desk for directions to Davis Hall on the first floor. Our membership is $24.00 per year and is prorated for new members.

May 2011 Newsletter
From the President:
Howdy to all Quilters, Hope that everyone is doing well and enjoying this wonderful spring that we have been having. I love spring when everything starts to wake up from the long winter slumber and man, has everything been busy waking up this year. Seems as if that colder winter gave it all a boost.
I am looking forward to Easter this coming Sunday. We almost always go to the sunrise service. The flowers in the graveyard should be gorgeous. It will be a wonderful day!
Recently, as many of you know, circumstances prevented me from quilting. I have come to realize how much I rely on our craft as a vital outlet of energy, and how much it has become an extremely vital part of my day and me. I used to have parts of the process that I preferred over other parts. Today I am loving all aspects and am so looking forward to putting all of those fabulous ideas that have been swirling around in my head into fabric. It is slow going right now but the key word is going and I am confident that each day will be more filled with fun than the previous. We are also busy here putting our garden in. Here is hoping that we all have a fabulous growing season with beautiful flowers, lots of huge juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, squashes, eggplant, peppers and other yummy veggies, with plenty of herbs for seasoning. I saw some of you at the flower festival last week so I know your thoughts must be similar. I suppose the moral of the story is that fabric, flowers and food spell fun. I hope that everyone is busy quilting away and if any of you will be traveling over the spring break/ Easter holiday will do so safely. I am looking forward to seeing everyone in May and catching up. Until then just keep on quilting. Lynn Lucas
Bring to the May 2 meeting: Regular first floor room 6p: social time 7-9p: meeting

March 2011 Newsletter
From the President:
Howdy to all! I am so excited the ground hog did not see his shadow! I know because I stood outside at sunrise at my house. No shadow, so early so spring here we come. It has been a busy time finishing up a few projects and true to form starting more. Are you a one project at a timer or do you have multiples going at once? I think the answer to that is as fun as the one about do you sew with your shoes on or off? My sewing machine pedal doesn’t know what a shoe is. Another good one-- do you cut everything out first or do you cut as you go. I’m a cut as you go girl. I tend to change my mind too much to cut all at once. Hope everyone is well! Keep on quilting and creating! Will see you soon!
----Lynn Lucas
Bring to the March 7th meeting: Regular first floor room 6p: social time 7-9p: meeting

February 2011 Newsletter
From the President:
Howdy to all! What an interesting month this has been! The snow has kept everyone entertained for certain. I still have a trace of it on my deck. Hope springs eternal as I saw my first robin a couple of days ago and then just this afternoon a whole flock of brewers blackbirds with robins mixed in. Now if that wonderful rodent of a groundhog will just not see his shadow we will be set for spring! The annual spring plant show at the farmers market is around April 14. Until then I will keep busy finishing up a couple of quilts that I have started. Hopefully I will have them to show you in February. In the meantime keep on quilting!

Editor’s filler note: the 5 month old Maine Coon kittens, about 6 lbs each already, were found on top of my bookcases behind my 3 portable flannel walls, messing with the “safe” art pottery. Second time around, intercepted 2nd kitten following the first, rock climbing 5 feet up the flannel and going over the top. This does not bode well on sooo many levels…. --Beth
