Meeting: Wednesday, March 25, 2015 at 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Christ the King Church Community Hall, 1951 McKinleyville Road, McKinleyville Moonstone Quilt Guild Speaker for March Ann Anderson—Fun with Color I will present some basic concepts of color in quilting along with hands-on exercises. If you can, bring some scraps of fabric, about 3" x 3" (roughly). Choose any colors you like. If you can't bring fabric, don't worry, I will bring some. Real quilts will be used as examples. Please bring some of your quilts that you think work well in terms of color and some where you think the color choices could have been better. We will discuss them as a group. Ann Moonstone Quilters Relay Team RETREAT: Don’t forget to sign up for the one- day retreat (with lunch provided) to be held on April 11 th at Christ the King Church. Call Jeannie at 825-8701 to reserve a spot. Remember, the $40 is a donation to the American Cancer Society. The “Walkabout” pattern is quite easy and has stunning results. I hope to sponsor one or two junior quilters to take the class. Janet Fesler has volunteered to be their assistant for the day. RELAY: We are getting excited about actually participating in the Relay for Life on July 11 th and 12 th at Halvorson Park (near the Adorni Center). We will be piecing 5” squares into 4-patch blocks during the 24-hour event. We hope to involve the public in piecing some blocks with us (or at least picking out fabric squares to put into a block). The blocks can later be made into a community quilt. We are also working on Humbug Bags, key fobs, little wallets, and market bags to sell during the event. We also have an opportunity to submit auction items (quilts, maybe) to an event called “Wings for a Cure” to be held on June 5 th . Our team will get credit for whatever funds our items bring in. So we could use some help cutting out 5” squares, sewing bags, or providing items for the auction. We also need people to sign up for a 2-hour shift of sewing at the event (machines and supplies will be provided). Contact us if you can help in any way.

Community Quilts February was a happy and fun meeting. We laughed, socialized, and put together several quilts that are now ready for a Long arm, straight line, or free motion quilter. Please contact me at 839-8416 or 498-0439 if you are able to quilt for charity, and I will arrange to deliver a beautiful quilt for your quilting pleasure. All your work is much appreciated by the guild and recipients. Thank you for your hard work, skillful hands and big hearts. Sharon Stewart Community Quilts
Membership. We welcomed two new members at our Febru-ary meeting: Leone Menefee and Sharon Stewart. Sharon (some of you may know from REQG) has graciously taken over from Shar Evans as the Community Quilts Committee member. This is a huge task, and we ask that all our members give Sharon all the help that they can. Thank you, Sharon. We also hope that we will soon see Shar back at our meetings. We miss you. Cathy Hamilton has offered to be a mentor in the topic of “long arm quilting;” so if you need help, contact Cathy. She has also volunteered to quilt some of the community quilts. Thank you, Cathy. We also have two members who would like to present a Trunk Show. Both are very talented quilters. We may be a small Quilt Guild; but we hope that each member will become an active participant, either by new quilters being helped to learn through meetings and inspiration of experienced members, or “old-timers” continu-ing their growth in learning new skills and im-provement. With this in mind, make sure that you also come to our April meeting and learn and practice the skill of “fabric folding” being given by Diane Goldsmith Harger. I know that this is a new skill for me. Brenda Glyn-Williams
