Lone
Star Heritage Quilt Guild June Meeting A Note From Our President… Dear Fellow
Quilters:
I do believe summer’s upon us!! I hope each of you will have time to get to a little quilting or at least visit a quilt shop or two wile you vacation. While on our bus
tour up into What are you making for our Quilt show? Here are some ideas---quilts for display/competition, quilts for the auction, boutique items, ect. Our next event to
participate in (and this is a one time deal) is the hanging of quilts for the
Sesquicentennial Committee. It will be on Saturday, July 3rd from The “Old Glory” workshop by Rita Runquist is scheduled for Saturday, August 14th from 9-4 at the Senior Citizens Center. Cost is $30.00 with lunch provided. The workshop is open first to those who went on the bus tour last month and then to all guild members. The first 25 who pay their registration fee will be the lucky ones. Have you ever looked for a new idea for a border to add some pizzazz to a quilt you’re working on? If you will bring 4 pieces of paper in a background color-cut 3”x3” and then 4 pieces in a color or print-cut 3”x3”—I’ll show you a quick and easy idea I picked up at the first quilt shop we visited on our trip. You could add it in a lot of places in varying sizes. See you on the 29th. Have a great month!!

Librarian…Billie
Ruth Standbridge Library doors will be open for business. Books will
be out and 2 new Fons & Porter magazines will
be available with some super patterns. TIPS from S&P:
1) When I am ready to hand sew the binding to the back of quilt, I use
children's metal hairclip to hold my binding in place while I sew 2) If
you run out of stabilizer, try using the tissue paper found in gift bags and
boxes. It works great, tears away easily, and you are recycling at the
same time. FYI.....When you husband buys a new riding mower, tractor,
motorcycle or boat, it's time for a new sewing
machine. Reporter/Publicist…Deanna Hasten
It is time for the official 2004 Quilt Show Committee to be named!! If you would like to be on the committee, please tell Jan, Billie Ruth, or Deanna. A lot of pre-show work has already been done, but there is a lot more planning and decision making ahead. Notify one of us at the June Guild meeting. For
your information: There will be two men with Scissor-Sharpening equipment at our Fall Festival Quilt Show. Tell your friends also, and remember to have all your scissors sharpened while you can. It is reasonable and they do a great job. Design

Sesquicentennial Quilt Walk -
Billie Ruth Standbridge
Considering that everybody does not live in Sulphur Springs or take
the Sulphur Springs paper, I figured I should offer a more complete
explanation of Sesquicentennial Quilt Walk on July 3rd for the
benefit of those who sere not sure about the event and for those who were not
in attendance. You might have watched a similar event reviewed on Alex
Anderson’s show done in Deanna has brought large red stars to be attached to a wire floral tripod and placed out at the sidewalk so that every homeowner who is participating is identified during the week prior to the Walk. People may drive by or stop and come up to the porch to admire the quilts. At that time our Quilters can give out information on our guild and our upcoming Fall Festival Show and also to let people know that the quilts on the Quilt Walk will not be hanging in the Fall Festival.
There are 17 homes available and the proposed time for us to be there
will be between The Quilt Walk and the beautiful wall hanging that Jan has shown you, is all part of what the Sesquicentennial Committee asked of us. We’re hopeful of having the wall hanging becoming a part of the history of the town as the result of the auction to be held. When you get your newsletter, if you can help us that day, please email me at: [email protected]. I will need to have my list finalized before the June meeting. If, by the time you receive your newsletter, you can help, would you please call me ASAP.

Quilt Committee Billie Ruth Standbridge, Gwen Karney, Peggy Wilkinson, Lequida Jennings, Sherry Shockley Ladies, please make the best photo you can
of your quilt entry because that picture is going to be the 1st
thing judges see of your quilts. If you feel this is a problem for you, bring
your quilts(s) early to the guild meeting and Deanna or Dana will take a
picture for you. This way we will have someone to help hold the quilt up or
we can use one of our frames. If you don’t want to have to add the
additional information needed to the old ENTRY FORM, just go to our website www.goecities.com/lshqg and print
off as many of the new entries as you need. If you want to stay with the old
form, turn page 2 over and write in the (1) dimensions (2) check quilt or wall
hanging (3) check proper category. Make sure that if you do not want your
quilt judged, that you check exhibit. Wall hangings can be Traditional or
Artistic. All you have to do is check Wall Hangings. Any other question email
me; [email protected] or ask me at
the Guild meeting. Submitted by: Billie Ruth Standbridge FALL FESTIVAL SHOW
2005 Put on your thinking caps ladies, I know it
may be strange to start bringing up the Fall Festival Show for 2005, but if
we intend to continue with the idea of a “Feature” quilts,
then we need to think of what we want now. Major, important items are
sometimes booked 1,2or even 3 years in advance. Do you know of something that
you think would be a major drawing card to our show? I already have people
asking me what the special quilt will be this year, because they were so
impressed with last year’s “The Supper Quilt”. It was at Rose Hillsamer
suggestion last fall that caused us to pursue the “American Spirit Collection”,
a collection of wall-hangings and quilts that were made up to commemorate
911. It’s a very emotional display that has traveled the country every since
they were made up. We were barely able to get it committed to us back in
October. So you can see how important it is that if we are to have something
with strong public appeal, we really have to start early. Submitted by: Billie Ruth Standbridge Printing donated
