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!

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.
---Mary
Minutes for the June 6, 2011 Meeting
Cutting of quilt kits started at 6pm. The meeting was called to order at 7 pm. The minutes were approved. There was no new business and no old business to discuss. Guests were introduced. We had wonderful show and tell and the meeting was adjourned. We continued to cut kits and proceeded to eat wonderful food. A great time was had by all.

We had a request from one of our members for membership cards to use to get a guild discount from some of the quilt shops, so I will have a card for you in July. Don't forget the meeting is a week later and bring a friend or two if you can.

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 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

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.

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.

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!

March Meeting - June Fish will be our guest speaker. Quilt Appraisals will be the topic, what to appraise, how to appraise, what appraisers look for, what info appraisers need. Come with questions and learn about an important topic in our quilting lives.
April Meeting - Bring in a tool you use in quilting that was not intended for quilters. Something you took from the garage that works, something from the kitchen, the bathroom, whatever you use that helps.

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
Show and Tell
Any finished charity quilts
For Children’s Garden: antibacterial soap and wipes.

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

December 2010 Newsletter
From the President:
Hello to all, We had to rub the sticks together this morning. That is code for turn on the gas logs. They certainly did a great job of knocking the chill off. I sat a close to them as I could for as long as possible. I even managed to extend the time by sketching. I have a brilliant idea for a new way to use my long arm now let’s see if I can get it from paper to quilt. Isn't it a wonderful day when your brain is busy concocting new ideas? The challenge quilts were so worth the wait! Everyone's creative juices were in overtime. Each piece was wonderful. It was a joy to be able to see the work of such talented quilters. Thank you to all who participated. I am looking forward to our next meeting when we make stockings, eat lots of food, all the while chatting and laughing. November and December are such busy months, what a wonderful blessing to be able to spend some of that time with friends quilting. Thanksgiving is next week and I wish blessings to all. Please be safe if you are traveling or shopping. Don't eat too much turkey, and above all else quilt sometime! I hope to be stitching bindings down to the back of some of my quilts that have waited way too long to have that finishing touch. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Lynn Lucas

Programs
The December Meeting is always fun and this year especially. I can’t wait to see what everyone did with their crazy quilt information, from Pricilla Hair’s Playing in the Sandbox to Judy Twitty’s personal journey.
In addition to sharing our results, we will continue our tradition of making stockings for the hospital. Many of you signed up for a special task but if you didn’t, don’t worry there will be plenty to do. You may show up any time after 6:00 to start. We will also share finger foods and holiday treats.
This year we are going to do a wild and crazy gift exchange. Do not under any circumstance go out and buy anything! No! No! No! The idea here is to recycle, wrap up something that you already have (the more creative the wrapping better) and bring it to pawn off on someone else. It might be that atrocious vase that Aunt Grace blessed you with, it might be that horrible yard of material that you can’t imagine why you bought, but it could be something good like homemade fudge or a book you already read. Just wrap it up and bring it for the really fun part of the evening. Now, don’t not come because you don’t have a wild gift. We will have extras, we just want you to be here, because we always have a better time when you are here.
For the sewing of the little stockings to be given out at Palmetto Richland’s Pediatric ER:
The following people volunteered to bring:
Sewers (exempt from bringing food): Bring machine with ¼” foot or measure, neutral sewing thread.
Sue Spillane Betty Rose Smith Helen Brown Deborah Hotchkiss Linda Vandiver
Ironers: bring iron and ironing surface (can be small surface—stockings will be about 5” in size)
Joyce Greer Beth Ozark
Trimmers/turners/finishers: bring fabric scissors (turners, ribbon and large needles provided):
Jodi Spillane Geri Smith Kim Putnam Sallie Schirm Liz Florom Donna Bryan
Gail Ferrick Sandra Baker

The challenge quilts were so worth the wait! Everyone's creative juices were in overtime. Each piece was wonderful. It was a joy to be able to see the work of such talented quilters. Thank you to all who participated. I am looking forward to our next meeting when we make stockings, eat lots of food, all the while chatting and laughing. November and December are such busy months, what a wonderful blessing to be able to spend some of that time with friends quilting. Thanksgiving is next week and I wish blessings to all. Please be safe if you are traveling or shopping. Don't eat too much turkey, and above all else quilt sometime! I hope to be stitching bindings down to the back of some of my quilts that have waited way too long to have that finishing touch. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Lynn Lucas

Programs
The December Meeting is always fun and this year especially. I can’t wait to see what everyone did with their crazy quilt information, from Pricilla Hair’s Playing in the Sandbox to Judy Twitty’s personal journey.
In addition to sharing our results, we will continue our tradition of making stockings for the hospital. Many of you signed up for a special task but if you didn’t, don’t worry there will be plenty to do. You may show up any time after 6:00 to start. We will also share finger foods and holiday treats.
This year we are going to do a wild and crazy gift exchange. Do not under any circumstance go out and buy anything! No! No! No! The idea here is to recycle, wrap up something that you already have (the more creative the wrapping better) and bring it to pawn off on someone else. It might be that atrocious vase that Aunt Grace blessed you with, it might be that horrible yard of material that you can’t imagine why you bought, but it could be something good like homemade fudge or a book you already read. Just wrap it up and bring it for the really fun part of the evening. Now, don’t not come because you don’t have a wild gift. We will have extras, we just want you to be here, because we always have a better time when you are here.

The following people volunteered to bring:
Sewers (exempt from bringing food): Bring machine with ¼” foot or measure, neutral sewing thread.
