VOLUME 34 ISSUE 2 OCTOBER 2014
OLD CAPITOL QUILTERS GUILD
Monthly Meeting - October 13, 2014
Join us Monday, October 13, as author and international teacher Ellen Anne Eddy shares her body of
work in a lecture titled, "The Enchanted World of Ellen Anne Eddy."
On Tuesday, there are spaces remaining in her all day workshop on October 14 titled "Thread Magic
Mastery: Working with All Kinds of Threads." Don't miss this opportunity to explore and work with many
different kinds of threads and techniques to add a variety of embellishments to your work. This class goes
far beyond the typical stitching and quilting. Thread can become a dominant design element like applique
and so much more. Learn to add these elements and the tricks to make stitching go smoothly. Contact
Linda Kahlbaugh at (319) 330-8140 or email her at [email protected] to sign up and get a supply
list. Class starts at 9 am.
Important note: Ellen Eddy, our speaker, is very allergic to perfume. Please don’t wear any to our
meeting or the workshop. Thanks.
Hostesses for October Jody Wiley and a Volunteer
Quilt Show Committee Needed
Thank you so much to those who volunteered to be on
the quilt show committee. However, we still do not have
enough people to organize the show. If we cannot fill these
volunteer spots we will not be able to host a show. Not hav-
ing the show is a great loss for our guild in terms of fundrais-
ing and community outreach.
The quilt show will be June 6th and 7th (with set-up on
the 5th), in conjunction with Iowa City Arts Fest. Even if
you cannot make those dates, you can still be on the organiz-
ing committee! (Volunteers to staff the event will be re-
quested closer to the dates of the show.)
The following positions still need to be filled for the
show to run:
Committee Chair (1), Assistant Chair (1), Treasurer (1),
Silent Auction (1 or 2), Publicity Outreach (1 or 2), Vol-
unteer Staffing (1 or 2).
We already have volunteers in these areas, but a second
person would be welcome to lighten the load:
Facility, Raffle, and Children’s Area
If you are interested in filling one of these roles, or need
more information, please contact Jessica Marks.
2015 Guild Challenge: Using Solid Fabrics Only
Many of the modern quilts being made are going back to
the basics and using solid fabrics, so we decided that this year
we would do the same. This year’s challenge can be any size
from a table runner to a large quilt, but it must be made in all
solid fabrics and contain at least 3 different colors. No marbles
or tone-on-tone fabrics are allowed. This means no hand dyes,
fabric must not not be mottled like batik solids. Any pattern
can be used. It doesn't have to be a modern quilt or an old
Amish design. Be creative and use those Kona solids or Bella
solids from your stash or branch out into something new. As
always, the project must be quilted, bound, and have a quilt
label on the finished piece.
Entries will be judged by all members of the guild present
at the July 13th general meeting. A monetary award will be
given to the winner of the 2015 Challenge.
Meeting Hostesses Hostesses are still needed for most of our meetings. We need at
least 2 hostesses per meeting. If you can fill a spot, please con-
tact Jessica Marks.
October December
1) Jody Wiley 1) Carole RAmsey
2) OPEN 2) Glenda Skallerud

Welcome:
We welcome our new members who joined at the Septem-
ber meeting: Shelly Jaspers, Robert Little, Jenny Maiers, Kathy
Tchida, Gail Wadley, and Norma Willis. We hope you will
enjoy meeting fellow quilters and participate in our meetings
and workshops.

PRESIDENT’S PATCH Hi quilters:
I just finished a big project, which means I am currently in
a lull. Does this happen to you? I get so into a project, and it is
all I do for a long time, and then when I’m done, even though I
have a hundred things waiting for me, I just don’t want to quilt
anything else. So right now, I’m not quilting.
It is a bit of a shame I’m not quilting, because for the next
month I won’t have much quilting time, so I should use it while
I have it. This weekend I fly to New York for training for a
new job. And then when I get back I have a weekend wedding
to go to, half a week of work, and then I leave for a vacation
I’ve been planning for two and a half years. We are going to
the Galapagos Islands. I’ve always liked pictorial quilts, so
maybe I will be able to get inspiration for one while I am there.
My husband tells me there is enough room in his memory cards
for about 10,000 photos, so surely one of those can be a quilt!
As for the project I just finished, it is hanging in the entry
hallway. I love to display quilts around the house and we have
quite a few of them up (including my Mother-in-law’s baby
quilt) but I try not to overwhelm my husband by hanging quilts
in every room. In my opinion, every room should have a quilt-
maybe I'll convince him eventually.
Hopefully this lull won't last long and I'll soon be diving
into a free motion project that I’ve been planning for! Happy Quilting,
Jessica Marks

Service Committee Report for October
Thanks to everyone who brought in shopping bags. We
always appreciate anything we can use that makes it easier to
deliver our charity projects.
Since all of us on the committee this year are new to the
process, we are trying to collect all our materials together and
see just what we have and decide where we go from here. Any
kit-making projects are going to be made by the committee at
this point, until we have a better feel for the blocks and materi-
als that will make up good kits.
One member of our new committee feels she can no longer
serve, so we’d appreciate having anyone who wants to join us
at the service committee table. Sue Moffett has graciously
agreed to join us as the member who will provide the quilt of
the month blocks, which you will often see with this column in
the newsletter.
We hope to have more kits for you to take home and sew at
the next meeting, and we also hope to have some that just re-
quire binding and labels. There are already some kits that need
to be quilted, so hope you will be able to help us with that proc-
ess, too.
Until next time…keep on stitching!
October Block of the Month
This month’s block is the Shoo Fly pattern which will combine well with the rail
fence and nine patch blocks that many of you have been doing. The unfinished size is 9
½ inches that will finish at 9 inches.
You may use your choice of colors. It would be nice to have several blocks of the
same colors to make it easy to make kits for our charity sew in. This block may be easily
pieced with each section of the block being 3 ½ inches before stitching together.
Call for Bibs
Jan Kock, Director of Home Ties Child Care Center, a non-
profit local organization, is in need of bibs. She said, "Since we
have 6 infants and 7 toddlers, we are going through bibs like
crazy and are finding that we run out before we get to Friday.
If some kind souls could sew us a bunch of new bibs, it would
help us a lot. We can use 3-4 dozen. They get worn out from
washing them. Simple bibs made from a hand towel or wash-
cloth with bias tape ties seem to work well. The kids don't like
the ones that go over their heads, so the tie ones are the best."
Jan's phone # is 341-0050, and email isiowa4cshome-
Above is a photo of Debbie Bowels and one of the many quilts
she shared with us. Debbie spoke at our October meeting and
taught a workshop on Tuesday where we learned to cut and sew
curved seams.

have all the supplies available to purchase if you want/need them

Student Class Information. Please read this before class.
I know many of the things I use for creating my quilts are
hard to find. I won’t do kits for most classes because kits limit
what I can bring you and limit your choices for your work.
Instead I bring all kinds of resources into class for you so you
can have what you need in class, without having to purchase
something you don’t want.
Please bring anything you want to experiment with to class
if you have them. But don’t worry about finding things that
you don’t know where to get. Kits for fabric and stabilizer are
available. But I leave thread choices up to you. I’ll bring in the
right stabilizers, fusibles, hand-dyed fabrics, the best threads,
and tools I trust. They’re there for you to choose so you can
pick exactly what you need and want in class. You can make a
tab and settle up at the end of your class time.
A big part of enjoying a class is being able to participate
and experiment. If your machine isn’t working right, it makes
that harder. I will make every effort to help you if your ma-
chine is in trouble, but there are things you should do to help
avoid problems.
Please bring a machine you are familiar with! If you are
borrowing a machine, make sure you know how to thread the
machine, wind a bobbin, and change the feet. Bring your man-
ual if you can, and all your attachments.
In general, sewing machines are like cars. They need regu-
lar maintenance. Before any machine class, please take your
machine out, check that it has the correct feet, and that it's
working properly. If it hasn't been tuned up in the last two
years, please have that done. Your good experience in any ma-
chine quilting class depends on your machine being in its best
condition.
You probably know what you need to make your sewing
day more comfortable. If you are more comfortable with a spe-
cial light, chair or a pillow, bring it. Also if you have an ex-
tending table for your machine, that can be a great help.
If you have questions or problems with your machine, or
anything you are having trouble finding, feel free to call me and
discuss it before class. I may be able to bring just the right
gadget or book to make things work better for you. Ellen Anne Eddy, 125 Franklin, Porter, IN 46304

November Workshop and Guild Meeting
On Monday, November 10, Doris Deutmeyer will be our
guest speaker and earlier that same day will teach a workshop
using Shiva Oil Paintstiks. Doris is a Midwest fiber artist and
former elementary art educator working in the arts for over 35
years. She is best known for her fused appliqué fabric land-
scapes and mini foundation pieced quilt blocks which are mat-
ted and framed. Doris exhibits her fiber art work at Quilt/
Sewing Expos, Fine Art/Craft shows, and local art exhibits.
Please visit Doris’ website, www.fabricationsbydoris.com, to
learn more about her career and business, Fabrications by Doris
Deutmeyer.
Our lecture Monday evening is titled, “Creative Fused – Is
It Art.”
Her workshop is “Explore! Shimmering Landscapes with
Paintstiks.” This fun full day workshop begins with exploring
the basic paintstik techniques for applying color to fabric with
the use of rubbings, stencils and masks. You will gain confi-
dence to create shimmering landscapes as you learn simple
techniques including masking, torn paper, freezer paper, and
shading to depict clouds, hills, water, trees and rock formations.
You don’t have to be an artist or have any painting experience
to make your own painted fabric and beautiful art quilt land-
scapes with Shiva Oil Paintstiks. The results are fantastic!
Participants must purchase a kit fee for $28, payable to
Doris at class time. Please see the supply list for this class in
the next column.
We will start class at 9:30 and break around noon for a
potluck lunch. The fee for this class is $25 and sign-up will
begin at our Oct. meeting. Or if you wish to sign up early, call
Carole Ramsey at 337-9330 or email [email protected].
This will put you on the list, but remember to bring your check-
book to the October meeting to reserve your space.

"Days for Girls Sew-a-Thon"
To celebrate the International Day of the Girl, the Iowa City Chapter of Days for Girls is hosting a three day "Sew-a-Thon" Fri-
day, Oct. 10th and Saturday, Oct. 11th from 9-4 at Inspirations Quilt Shop in Hills and on Sunday, Oct. 12th at Home Ec in Iowa
City from 10-3.
Days for Girls International helps girls gain access to quality sustainable feminine hygiene by direct distribution of washable
feminine hygiene kits. For many girls around the world, the lack of sanitary supplies means days away from school. The poverty
cycle can be broken when girls stay in school. More information can be found on their website: www.daysforgirls.org.
We hope you can come join us to work on parts of the feminine hygiene kits. Come for part of a day or all three days, there will
be lots to do. The Iowa City Chapter is teaming up with the Cedar Rapids and Des Moines Chapters to assemble at least 500 kits that
are designated to be sent to South Africa leaving November 9th.
If you are coming for the day, we encourage you to bring a bag lunch. Drinks, desserts and snacks will be provided. There will
be supplies ready for sewing and items needing ironing and hand work. Bring your machine if you wish or if not, there will be
things to do not requiring a sewing machine. If you have a serger, please bring it.
We should have enough fabric for these three days, but if you are interested in donating fabric or supplies for future sew-a-thons,
here are suggestions for what we need:
- The girls love color! Fabric type, color, and design is VERY IMPORTANT.
- Cotton flannel for liners in colorful, pretty, bright, medium to dark colors that will not show stains. No prints of animals, peo-
ple, insects, snakes, or culture-specific topics or words. Any size larger than 9" x 9" can be used. Fabric needs to be pre-
washed and ironed.
- Quilt-quality 100% cotton for shields and bags. Again, colorful, pretty, bright prints that will hide stains and none of the prints
mentioned above. Any size larger than 9" x 11" can be used for shields and for bags the piece must be at at least 11" x 28".
Fabric needs to be prewashed and ironed. No need to cut your donations to size, we will do that.
- We are always in need of hotel soaps and 1/2" - 3/4" twill tape or grosgrain ribbon for the bag ties.
- Any monetary donation is much appreciated. We need to purchase PUL (moisture barrier fabric), panties, snaps, washcloths
and Ziplock bags to complete the kits.
We thank you for your support of Days for Girls and hope to see you next month. Contact Pam Ehrhardt (pam@lastingpiece.
com, phone at 351-6531) or Linda Kahlbaugh ([email protected], phone at 330-8140) with any questions or suggestions.
Note: It is the policy of the Guild to
charge $5 to visitors attending our
monthly guild meeting when we have
a national speaker presenting. The
past few years we have been lax in
doing so. At the August board meet-
ing this was discussed and it was de-
cided that at future meetings, we will
again be doing this. This is not to
deter guests from coming to our meet-
ings, but rather to help with the cost of
bringing in a national speaker.
