Kim Lapacek Kim Lapacek, Persimon Dreams, is a 30+ year

old mother, wife, artist, apple orchardist, retired civil engineer, and entrepreneur.

She is a HUGE fan of quilt alongs. It’s really helped her hone her piecing skills and try things she never thought she would try before. Also – they’ve been great for helping her use up her scrap stash! Whatever level of quilter you are, don’t rule out a quilt along just because you don’t need ‘another’ sampler quilt – there is so much to learn out there – you’ll surprise even yourself!

She enjoys sharing her enthusiasm about creativity through teaching, lecturing, blogging and via social media

President’s Notes By Kendra McBroom

Happy March! Didn’t you find Mickey Dupree

empowering to do things that we might not have

thought of before? I enjoyed her take on different

types of textures we can include in our quilts. I am

going to use her suggestion to “Do something

different”. I am going to stop looking at the end of the

bolt or selvage of the fabric. If I like it and even if it is a

little bit crazy, I have permission to play and be creative

with my ideas. And I am also going to include more

plaid in my projects. Since she says that plaid is the

most misunderstood fabric, I owe it to myself to utilize

it more often.

Perhaps you noticed the low roar that was in our

February guild meeting. There were wall to wall

happenings! Cheerful sounds, busy people and a room

full of activities was what I heard. People notify me

often of their need for a spot at a table or an

announcement that would interest our membership. I

want to include as many as possible. When we stop

being busy, that is when we tend to get stagnant and

lose interest. The wonderful wide variety of things to

do in our guild is what keeps us alive and interesting

not only to ourselves but to visitors and new members.

We are only a short time away from our Bi-annual

Quilt Show. Please be thinking of how you can

volunteer to help it run smoothly. It takes many hands

to work together and display the hundreds of quilts

that we want to show to the community. There will be

a variety of positions and each one is important. While

you are finishing up your own quilts to enter, you can

imagine yourself in whatever opportunity you decide

that you fit best within the team of volunteers. Thank

you for being a part of PQG and stepping up to keep it

alive and growing. 2020 is already a fun year!

Bring Your Scissors to the Show!

John Drew of Scissor Masters LLC will be a vendor at our show. He has been a sharpener for

40 years and in addition to sharpening sewing and pinking scissors will also work on knives,

clippers, floral and grooming blades. It’s been years since we have had a scissor

sharpener at the show so take advantage of this opportunity.

Just four months until our quilt show and your show committee is working hard to pull it together but we are worried

about our show and future shows.

Profits from the show fund programs for the next two years and with a budget of $15,500 a year, that means we

need to clear $31,000. Unfortunately, profits from our show have steadily declined in the last ten years. Not because

the shows haven’t been amazing! But just as our membership has declined, so has attendance at the show. It’s harder

and harder to attract vendors to our show and expenses continue to rise. We’ve been hit with several unexpected

bills for this show which could really hurt our bottom line.

So, we need your help!

1. First, enter your quilts in the show! Debbie shouldn’t have to do a song and dance and we shouldn’t have to beg

for your entries. This is our opportunity to proudly show our family, friends and the public what we create. Enter

quilts that have been completed since the 2018 show as a judged entry and receive comments from a nationally

certified quilt judge. General entries can be older as long as they haven’t been entered in our show before. This

year you can enter antique and vintage quilts in our special exhibit, “Once Upon a Quilt”. Enter those treasured

family heirlooms or quilts you have discovered at estate sales or antique shops. Quilts need to be in good

condition, not loved to death. Lots of guild members have been spending lots of their time and energy making

this show possible. If you can’t be bothered to enter your quilts, what’s the point of a quilt show? We can just

double or triple our dues instead.

2. . Participate in the Mini Quilt Auction! This year since the Education Grant Committee is in good financial shape

for the next two years, proceeds from the auction will go towards our guild programs. This could really help our

budget, so make a mini, buy a mini or do both.

Jan Hutchinson, CTRQS Co-chair

Attention All Members:

We NEED QUILTS Lots of Quilts. Please dig around and find some quilts for the show. Remember general entries can be older quilts. as long as they have never been in a show before. Judged quilts need to be newer, less than 2 years since the last show. I do not want to hear excuses, like mine are not good enough, I only make wall hanging or table runners and toppers, I have not made any recently. We take all sizes table runners/toppers, mini, ,wall, quilts and bags. All levels of quilters come to our show. They want to see quilts they can make. Would you want to go to a show with only judged quilts and no regular quilts? Not me? I love getting ideas at quilt shows. Color ideas and pattern ideas. These help all of us think outside of the box we are in. Please, Please, help us bring in your quilts. Quilt in the Antique exhibit or the Applique exhibit do not count in your 5. You can entry 5 quilts in the show. Judge quilts do cost $12. Remember you need a picture (4x6). If you can't get a picture, bring you quilt to guild, we will take a picture of it. No problem. See you at guild with several entries. Counting on all of you!!!! Debbie Jones Make me proud!!

2019-2020 Block of the Month - March 20120

Kansas Theme Block #6

Hens and Chicks

For Month 6 we will be making a 6 ½ inch center block called Hens and Chicks. You may use any dark color for the large triangle and small triangles, but I will instruct using the two color combinations from past center blocks, staying with white (light) background. From white (light) background fabric, cut 1- 6 ½ x 1 1/4 inch strip for block center, two -3 x 1 1/4 inch strip for center upper and lower row. Cut six 2 inch squares. Cut these squares in half diagonally to make 12 triangles. Cut two brown (darker color) 3 ½ inch squares. Cut these in half diagonally to make 4 triangles. Cut two gold (or you may use the brown/darker color again) 2 inch squares. Cut these in half to make 4 triangles. Sew a gold triangle to a white triangle, long edge together (do a scant ¼ inch seam to make sure your square will be large enough). Complete this four times to make squares of white/gold, checking to make sure your square is a 1 3/4 inch square. Sew each small white triangle separately to the right and left side of your gold/white square, thus making a larger triangle when done, mirroring your brown triangle. Lay your large white/gold triangle on top of your brown triangle, long edges together. Sew this seam. Trim this large square combo to a 3 inch square. Sew small white strip to one side of this combo square, making sure the colored triangles are pointing into the center of the design. Sew the other combo square to the other side of the white strip. Complete this step twice, ending up with the upper and lower piece of your design, measuring 6 ½ by 3 inches. Sew the long white strip from the center design to your upper piece, making sure the colored triangles are pointing to the center. Sew the lower piece to this, again making sure your colored triangles will be pointing to the center. Completed square should measure 6 ½ by 6 ½ inches.

Border: Churndash Design Your center square will be completed by using the border Churndash design from previous block of the month designs. See previous months for instructions for this.

Charity Corner

In January and February we have donated 55 quilted pieces to the charities we have chosen as priorities for this year:

Wichita Family Crisis Center who provides transitional housing for battered women; KVC Hospital which provides Children's Psychiatric Treatment;

Sedgwick Co. Child Advocacy Center's ICT SOS for teens being rescued from sex trafficking; and two Nursing Homes that have been taken over by the state, one in Eldorado and one in Wichita.

Your Charity Quilt Committee members are Shirley Rogers, Sue Meyers, and Janice Bailey. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS
