All Star Quilters’ Guild -Where everyone can shine! Featured Quilter Let’s get to know Sharon Buquo a little bit better. Originally from Oregon, Sharon has also lived in Seattle, and came here on her honeymoon 46 years ago. She lives is Switzerland, FL. Her mother taught her to sew when she was eight. She branched into quilting 25 or 30 years ago. Her first quilt was for one of her sons who is now 41. That first quilt was made of left over clothing fabric, mostly maternity clothes! Sharon has a history with All Stars. She was first a member in her early days of quilting, probably 25 years ago. This time she’s been a member for a little over a year. She cites learning more about the craft of quilting as a primary goal of her membership with us. She registered a quilt for this year’s QuiltFest, however, she was one of those people for whom Hurricane Irma got in the way and made it impossible for her to get the quilt turned in. We are so sorry and hope that she enters it next year! On a personal level, Sharon has a step-daughter and three sons, 8 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. Her hubby has Alzheimer’s and is in the Lassen Veteran’s Home in St. Augustine. Buddy is her therapy cat! She likes to travel in the RV and this past summer she took a trip across the country. Besides all that, she also enjoys interior design and gardening. Two more fun facts about Sharon: she was raised on a farm with horses, sheep, cows, ducks, geese and chickens. She loves playing with a tractor, digging up stuff or knocking down other stuff! If that weren’t enough she is also in the process of flipping a mobile home for profit. We’re so glad she still finds time to quilt!

Historian Photos, articles and other documents: We’ve gone ad free with Photobucket. It’s a much better experience now when you log on. www.photobucket.com/user/allstarquiltguild/library If any of you have other pictures you would like to see posted please email them to [email protected]. History September 1990 program was an Auction/Swap Meet that sounded very interesting. The members were asked to bring quilt related items they no longer wanted. The audience bid items they brought to “unload” for unwanted items brought by other members. One member acted as the auctioneer and accepted bids from the audience. The member auctioning their “stuff” decided which item that was bid they wanted to accept as payment for the item being auctioned. It sounds like it could have been very competitive and a lot of fun.

Hospitality October Refreshments We are set for October refreshments. The theme is Halloween. For those of you who have signed up, if you would like to bring something that relates....., Great! No poison apples please! We could also celebrate fall which may or may not have arrived by the time of our meeting. Thank you everyone for all your help.

Library News All Star Library: Autumn Sale The library had to be put on a diet. Because of new books that the Guild purchased and generous donations by our members, the four crates that make up the library were overstuffed. So I weeded out some of the books that hadn't been circulated in a while, added some books donated by members, and culled some books from my own collection. These books will be on sale before the October general meeting. They are priced to sell-- $.50, $1, and $2. So even if you went on a spending spree at QuiltFest, you can still purchase some inspiration with your spare change. The Guild library will also be open for business. Did you buy some really cool fabric at QuiltFest and now don't know what to do with it? Find some inspiration in one of the Guild's many books. Happy Buying and Happy Sewing!

Grace Repass

President – Cannon’s Corner Did everyone enjoy QuiltFest? I certainly did. The quilts were beautiful, the vendors were good, and we sold a lot of raffle tickets. I was also happy to hear we won our fair share of Quilters Walk baskets. What a great weekend! To everyone that volunteered, THANK YOU! It takes lots of volunteers to put a show like that together and staff it. I have been thinking about what am I going to take to retreat? Needless to say, I have LOTS of unfinished projects that need to go. Looking forward to some major sewing time without home responsibilities getting in the way. It is gadget of the month time! This month my favorite tool is the Quilters Select 6 X 12 ruler. This ruler does not slip and slide like my other rulers. They come in all sizes, I will be investing in other sizes. I am still waiting to hear from you about your favorite gadget. Just email me the information and I will include it in the article. “No one ever injured their eyesight by looking on the bright side”

Ellen Cannon

Programs October’s program is Elaine Stemetzki, a local quilter and collector of Dresden Plate quilts! She has a fabulous collection which she will share through a trunk show. This will be an amazing presentation. Thank you all for embracing the book collection idea for December. I have known and admired our guild’s continuing generosity since joining in 2014. It IS better to give than receive! As our first-time collecting new children’s books (ages 1-12), I hope we exceed all expectations. Depending on the number of books collected, recipients will be guild member Sally Eunpu and/or the Mandarin Food Bank. Collection begins at the October meeting and ends at December’s meeting The November meeting will feature a presentation by the 12 x 12 group. “What is that?” you may ask! I am sure they will explain and give a Show & Tell.

Sit 'n' Stitch Last month Irma prevented our 9/11 meeting, but we had a great turnout for QuiltFest Recovery Day on the 25th. Everyone had lots to say about the show, and many quilters shared items they'd bought there. Block 2 was distributed on the 25th. This month we have two meetings. On October 9, Block Three will be handed out. It's not too late to catch up if you want to join in. October 30 we will be working on community service quilts; bring your own project this time. As always, you are free to work on anything you'd like, hand or machine. We gather at 9:30 and the meeting starts at 10:00. Hope to see you there.
