1. Word from the chair - Erla Cilliers -
Wow, where has the year gone, and why has winter not arrived yet? I cannot wait to wear a really
warm jacket, and make a big fire in the fireplace. It is also less than 3 months to our National Festival,
which is very exciting! We shall share inside information about traveling to and from the venue at our
8 June meeting so make sure you are there! By the way, this meeting is going to be bumper packed
with demonstrations on ways to complete your quilts to show quality...lots of tips available for free.
We shall also have a very interesting speaker on the topic of ‘agents of deterioration’ of textiles and
thus our quilts, and how to extend our quilts’ life spans.
As you are aware our Guild is responsible for the competition and the exhibition portfolios at Festival
this year, and since we received a record number of competition entries, the exhibition will be bigger
than planned and thus need more helpers than initially anticipated. There is a form in this newsletter
that you must please complete if you are able to assist, and hand it in at Claire Wallace at the meeting.
Another gesture…if your competition quilts are finished and ready, Alet Davy offered to accept your
quilts at the 8 June meeting, which will save you a trip / postage. All of you who have made the small
30 x 30 celebration quilts for SAQG’s 30th birthday, please bring those to the meeting as well, for
Viewer’s Choice of the 3 best ones to provide to SAQG.
Read in this edition about different kinds of threads, and what needles works best for what types of
stitching – a spin off from our National Quilters Day event….and lots of other interesting reading
matter, so get your favorite hot drink and your bed socks, relax and indulge.
Until the 8th of June then...at NG Church Wierdapark venue remember…happy stitching! 😊

Opkomende vakante portefeuljes op die Jakaranda Komitee
Daar is ‘n hele paar van ons komiteelede wie se persoonlike omstandighede die einde van hierdie jaar
verander (hulle gaan met pensioen en verhuis), of wie se termyne in hulle huidige portefeuljes tot ‘n
einde kom. Ons vra groot asseblief vir dames om te oorweeg om vrywilligers te kom wees op die
komitee vir ‘n tydperk van 2 jaar, daar is ongelooflik baie beplanning wat in elke vergadering ingaan
wat ons almal so geniet. Sonder ‘n funksionerende komitee kan dit nie gebeur nie!!
Die portefeuljes wat gevul moet word is die volgende:
Biblioteek
Kobie kwyt haar uitstekend van haar taak maar haar gesondheid laat haar nie meer toe om so betrokke
te wees nie. Die person wat dit doen neem ‘n baie goed georganiseerde leenstelsel oor, met die kratte
waarin die boeke en tydskrifte verpak is. Die person se hoofpligte is:
- Berg die gilde se boeke en tydskrifte veilig
- Bring boeke en tydskrifte na die gilde vergaderings en administreer die leen en teruggee van
boeke en verkoop van tydskrifte
- Identifiseer nuwe boeke wat die gilde kan aankoop met leenboekegeld, koop sodanige nuwe
boeke aan en neem dit op in die katalogus.
- Woon 3 x per jaar komitee beplanningvergaderings by en rapporteer op die biblioteek se
aktiwiteite en finansies.
Tuisgroepe skakeling
Mienie en haar man verhuis na die Suid Kaap, en ons het iemand nodig wat die skakeling tussen die
tuisgroepe kan doen, en die kwilts vir uitstallings van die groepe wie se beurt dit is, kan koördineer.
Die person se pligte behels in kort:
- Hou die tuisgroepe lys in stand
- Besoek tuisgroepe op uitnodiging
- Skakel met tuisgroepe wie se beurt dit is om uitstallingkwilts vir ons vergaderings te veskaf
- Wees teenwoordig by die hang van die uitstalling die Vrydag voor die vergadering, in
samewerking met die lede van die tuisgroepe wat verantwoordelik is vir die uitstalling.
- Skryf die naamkaartjies vir die uitstallingkwilts.
- Samel inligting in van tuisgroepe oor hulle liefdadigheidsprojekte vir rapportering aan SAQG
- Woon 3 x per jaar komitee beplanningvergaderings by en rapporteer op die tuisgroepe se
aktiwiteite.
Sosiale en openbare skakeling
Hierdie portefeulje is al ‘n redelike tyd vakant en is besig om ons gilde te benadeel (die feit dat daar
nie iemand in die pos is nie). Ons het die afgelope paar maande redelik kritiek gekry omdat ons nie die
gilde se aktiwiteite ver en wyd genoeg adverteer nie. Die persoon is in kort verantwoordelik vir:
- Skakel met die gedrukte media - maak seker dat advertensies oor ons gildevergaderings in
plaaslike koerante geplaas word en in tydskrifte soos “Stitches”
- Nooi die media na bv. Uitstallings van die gilde (soos verlede jaar by die Monument)
6
- Reël vir verversings (koffie, tee, sap, eetgoed) by ons gildevergaderings
- Sorg vir tafeldoeke, handdoekies in die badkamers, sepies ens.
- Reël vir opwasdame by die vergaderings
- Help met bemarking van ons gilde op sosiale media – FB, Twitter ens.
- Woon 3 x per jaar komitee beplanningvergaderings by en rapporteer op die portefeulje se
aktiwiteite.
Historikus / Fotograaf
Ons huidige portefeuljehouer verhuis ook na die Suid Kaap vroeg volgende jaar, so ons het ‘n persoon
nodig vir hierdie belangrike werk:
- Neem foto’s van alle bedrywighede tydens vegaderings vir plasing op ons webblad
- Neem foto’s van alle uitstallingkwilts vir ons rekords, met gepaardgaande admin (naam van
kwilter ens)
- Bewaar alle argiefrekords van die gilde (meestal elektronies)
- Voorsien foto’s en administratiewe inligting vir webblad en sosiale media opdaterings
- Woon 3 x per jaar komitee beplanningvergaderings by en rapporteer op die portefeulje se
aktiwiteite
Die komitee is ‘n baie lekker groep kwiltvriendinne, en jy het geen spesiale vaardighede nodig nie, net
bereidwilligheid om bietjie ‘terug te gee’. In elk van die portefeuljes sal die huidige person jou alles
vertel / wys wat jy moet weet, en niemand gaan jou oordeel nie! Kom wees net deel van die
suksesstorie van ons byeenkomste…. oorweeg dit asseblief?

If you missed our National Quilters’ Day Workshop on 16
March (photos on the right), you missed out on a very
informative talk by Tracy and Erla. Tracy was so kind to
document all the valuable secrets which is usually passed
down from quilting mother to daughter.
6.1. FABRICS & STUFF – A BEGINNER’S GUIDE - Tracy Jackson -
FABRICS
In South Africa fabrics are most commonly measured in meters (m), with 1m equal to 100cm (centimeters). They can however, also be measured in yards (yds), 1yd being equal to 36” (inches). With 1m being equal to just over 39”, 1m is thus longer than 1yd. This information is important when buying fabric. It helps when comparing prices as well as when buying fabric for a specific project/pattern. If the instructions call for 1yd of fabric and you purchase 1m of fabric, you will have fabric left over when your project is completed. This is not a bad thing as the leftovers can be kept to be used in scrap projects or for applique. A very good way to build up your scrap stash! However, if the instructions call for 1m of fabric and you purchase 1yd……. yes, you will be in trouble as you will not have sufficient fabric to finish your project
Quilters usually only use 100% cotton fabric but depending on type of quilt being made and it’s end use other fabrics can be used as well. It is advisable to use the best quality 100% cotton fabric you can afford for utilitarian quilts - bed quilts, lap quilts, etc. which will be used and laundered fairly often. However, other fabrics such as silks, satins, organza and any other man-made fabric or blends can be used in art quilts or wall hangings which will experience very little handling and laundering.
Fabric is made from individual lengths of threads woven together to make a continuous piece of cloth. (Which quilters then set about cutting into little pieces only to sew then back together again – daft, I know but such fun!) The vertical threads ↕ are called the WARP and the horizontal ones ↔ the WEFT. This can also be referred to as grain lines. The vertical lines being the LENGTHWISE grain and the horizontal lines, the CROSSWISE grain. If you stretch the fabric across the Warp/Lengthwise grain there will be very little to no movement. If you stretch it across the Weft/Crosswise grain there will be some movement. However, if you stretch the fabric across a 45° angle to the Warp and Weft, it will stretch a LOT. This is referred to as the BIAS.
11
Not all 100% cotton fabrics are of the same quality. There are various factors contributing to this. In my opinion, the following 2 being the most significant:
Thread count – this is the number of threads woven together per square inch. The higher the thread count, the better the quality.
The manufacturing process – the better quality fabrics go through a longer manufacturing process before being ready for sale. The additional finishing process sets the dyes and makes the fabric softer. The end result being a fabric that does not bleed, crease very easily (and if it does crease, it takes very little effort to press out the creases) and is softer to the touch.
This brings us to GREIGE (pronounced ‘gray’) goods. The first run of a new fabric colour and/or design is used by manufacturers to test the colours and design placement. Being a test run, it does not make economic sense for them to use their best quality base fabric for this. Nor do they run this test fabric through the complete manufacturing process. The fabric from this first, test run is however, sold off by the manufacturers and is usually found in discount stores for sale at a much lower price than in the traditional quilting shops. These greige goods have a high chance of bleeding and shrinking and are not as soft to the touch. It stands to reason that they will not last as long either. However, once again, depending on the intended end use of the quilt, there is certainly a use for these cheaper fabrics to be available. However, just because you pay more for a fabric does not necessarily mean that it is of a better quality. Please just be aware. A term to familiarise yourself with is WOF – Width of Fabric. This is the measurement of the fabric across the crosswise grain from selvage to selvage. The selvage being the thicker, harder part at each end of the fabric where it is attached to the loom during manufacture. It prevents the fabric from unravelling and can either be of the same colour as the fabric or a white to off white colour. The standard WOF of quilting fabrics is between 42” and 44”. Read your project instructions carefully when it calls for example 3x 2.5”strips of WOF. Check the length of the WOF fabric used in the pattern and if you are unsure, rather buy extra fabric than is stated then run the risk of being short of fabric which you may not be able to purchase more of. Another good way of building your scrap fabric stash if you have excess fabric once your project is finished! The selvage often contains very valuable information such as the manufacturer’s name (which mill produced the fabric), the name of the design of the fabric and the designer’s name. It may also contain little dots of colour. These colour dots are usually surrounded by a black outline. Their actual function is to indicate to the manufacturer whether the individual colours have been printed in the correct place. (Fabric is printed several times, one colour at a time). If the colour dots are perfectly centered within the black outline then you can be assured that the fabric’s pattern has been printed correctly and that there are no ‘shadow lines’ of colour where the manufacturing process has not been carried
12
out to a high standard. For the quilter, especially the beginner quilter, these coloured dots are like cheat sheets! They show all the colours that have been used in that particular piece of fabric which makes choosing co-ordinating fabrics for your project very simple. Sometimes it is difficult to tell which is the right side of a piece of fabric. Here again, the selvage can be very useful. As the fabric is attached to loom right side up for printing purposes, the ‘broken threads’ showing along the selvage’s edge indicates the right side of the fabric. However, this is by no means a fool proof way of telling as it is not always obvious. As mentioned before, fabric is usually spoken about in meters (m). If you have 1m of fabric and you fold it in half lengthwise, you will have ½ m of fabric. If you take your ½ m of fabric and fold in half lengthwise, you will have a ¼ running m which is also referred to as a ‘long’ ¼. However, if you take your ½ m piece of fabric and fold it in half across the width, you will have a fat ¼.
WASHING
There are many different opinions about whether you should wash your fabric before cutting or not. There is no hard and fast rule, it is definitely a personal preference and experience which determines your choice. Cold or luke warm water is preferable, take into account how you will launder the quilt once completed too. After reading about the different quality of fabrics, how is a person to know what to do? Many Quilters wash their fabric as soon as it enters the house, which is a good habit to have. By doing so, they can immediately observe the behaviour of the fabric. Did it bleed, shrink or behave really well? High quality fabrics usually behave very well. However, I have always found it advisable to wash all dark colours, especially red, before cutting. African fabrics (if you do not like working with them all stiff), Batiks and ShweShwe fabrics should always be washed first. In my experience, both the Batiks and ShweShwe fabrics always bleed. ShweShwe not only bleeds but shrinks a bit too. There are products on the market such as Dylon Colour Catcher that you can put in the water when washing which attracts and absorbs the dye coming off of the fabric. Retayne is a chemical product that you can wash your fabric in before using which helps to fix the dyes into the fabric fibres. If your quilt does bleed afterwards, there are products like Synthrapol and Dylon S.O.S. Colour Run which can be used to repair the damage. However, prevention is always better than cure! If you are unsure, test a small piece of fabric first before using any chemical product ‘just in case’.
PRESSING
The rule of thumb here is to ‘PRESS’. We are so used to the backwards, forwards and sideways ironing motion that it takes some concentration to get used to the upwards and downwards action of
13
pressing. A dry iron is preferable to steam as the characteristics of the 100% natural cotton fabric most commonly used in quilting is to change shape when moisture and heat is applied. However, sometimes you may need that steam to force a seam flat or a piece of fabric into shape. Use with care.
THREAD
It is preferable to use 100% cotton thread for piecing as you are generally sewing pieces of 100% cotton fabric together. With the thread matching the fabric in characteristics, it makes taking care of the finished quilt a lot easier in terms of laundering and pressing. Cheap or nylon threads may cut the cotton fibres over time or not last as long, but it also depends on the end use of the quilt. The hot setting on your iron that you would use during the construction of your quilt could melt the synthetic thread. That being said, there are high quality synthetic threads available on the market today that can be used for quilting. They come in many beautiful colours which can enhance the finish of your quilt and make it more decorative whereas the 100% cotton thread colours are more restrictive. Once again, it is personal choice and the end use of the quilt should be taken into account when making your decision. Thread comes in different thicknesses called weight. The standard thread weight for piecing is 50 and can be used for quilting as well. The larger the number of the thread weight, the thinner the thread is. There is a wealth of information recorded on the body of a cotton reel to guide you with your choice. The following can be found on quality reels:
The manufacturers name
The name of the range of the thread if there is one
The length of the thread on the reel
The weight of the thread
What it is made of e.g. 100% cotton or polyester etc.
The colour of the thread – usually indicated by a number
Where the thread was made
The recommended size of the machine needle to use
If a variegated thread it may tell you how often the colour changes for e.g after each inch Some cotton reels ‘pop’ open at the bottom (or both ends) so that you can store the end of your cut thread there so that it is easy to find and also prevents the thread from unwinding during storage.

6.2. Moot Kwilters – Kwiltwegbreek - Wilna Potgieter –
Die afgelope paar jaar gaan die Mootkwilters in Maart op ‘n kwiltwegbreek wat Linda van Die
Werksmandjie, in Montana Park, vir ons reël. By ‘n rustige oord naby Pretoria, leer ons onder leiding
van genooide en plaaslike kwiltonderwysers, nuwe kwiltdinge. So het ons al skewe huisies gebou,
hoenders met vrolike vere geskep, blommesirkels gemaak, en selfs laswerkblokkies gebrei. Hierdie
jaar het Mari Strydom (bekende Vrystaatse kwiltonderwyser en -beoordelaar) ons geleer om
portretstudies in lap te doen. Dit was ‘n moeilike maar uiters bevredigende oefening!
Elke wegbreek is ‘n heerlike tyd van saamkuier en kwilt..... wat kan lekkerder wees as ‘n naweek saam
met kwiltvriendinne, heerlike etes, kuier en kwilt en geen tuisverpligtinge nie!

8. Chair Bag Sewing Instructions Every year the JQG takes on a community project. This year we would like you all to make chair bags
to be donated to less fortunate schools, as reported at the last meeting. Below is Tracy’s instructions
to make these bags, and we ask of all the home groups to please make at least one bag per home
group member. Tracy has jotted down the measurements and instructions for us:
I used a piece of denim which looks good on both the right side and wrong side of the fabric. Any heavy fabric is suitable even old denim jeans.
1. Cut fabric 46cm x 100cm. If you are purchasing fabric, 1m of 150cm wide fabric will make 3x chair bags.
2. Hem both short sides of the fabric (the 46cm sides). One side with the hem folded towards the right side of the fabric and the other side with the hem folded towards the wrong side of the fabric.
3. Measure 20cm down from the hem which was folded to the right side of the fabric and fold with wrong sides together. Pin along raw edges of both sides. This forms the pocket that will be slipped over the back of the chair.
4. Fold the other end of the fabric, rights sides together, so that the 2 hemmed sides meet but do not overlap. Pin along raw edges on both sides. This forms the pocket that holds the books.
5. Sew down each pinned side using a 6mm to 1cm seam allowance. 6. Reinforce the seam where the 2 hemmed sides meet. 7. Overlock/finish off the raw edges. 8. Turn each pocket over and voila, you have a chair bag! ©Tracy Jackson

9. Workshops and Demonstrations - Laetitia Cilliers -
Guild meeting Saturday 8 June
We have invited four of our members to do presentations at our upcoming guild meeting on finishing
your beautiful quilt tops. The presentations will be from at 9:30 to 10:30 and last 10 minutes each.
The venues will be clearly marked and members will rotate from the one to the next presentation.
Topic and questions to be covered Presenter Borders can enhance your quilt. Guidelines to take into account when you
design your borders.
(To be confirmed)
What batting and backing should I choose and why. What is the purpose of
having different kinds of batting?
Claire Wallace
Let us show you how binding can be cut in one continuous strip. What are
the secrets for perfectly mitred corners? How do I do that final seam joining
the binding to fit snugly around the quilt?
Erla Cilliers
A quilt needs a hanging sleeve if it has to go on a wall. Is it that simple to
make and attach one? Document your pretty creation with a label for future
generations.
Tracy Jackson
It is so much easier to sandwich a quilt if you have quilting fanatics to help you. Our guild meeting will be followed by a demo by qualified teachers on how to sandwich a quilt. Bring your top, batting, backing, pins or basting spray and we supply the tables and many hands and heads to help. Please send an email or WhatsApp me if you either wish to bring a quilt to be sandwiched or if you simply want to join in the fun. Laetitia Cilliers at [email protected] or O72 254 1731 Forth coming events: Improvisational Workshop
The Best of Show quilt from Quilt con 2019, “Smile”
will be on display at the National Festival in August.
Have a look at https://www.quiltcon.com/2019-
winners. The QuiltCon Winner quilt on the right is
made in the improvisational style.
Come explore a few of the techniques of
improvisational quilting with Shanida Arnoldi,
Laetitia Cilliers and Corrianne Van Velze at a 6 hour
workshop on Saturday 16 November from 8:30
to16:00 at Lynnwood Trinity Church. Cost per
member R280. We will send newsflashes and photos of a sample quilt closer to the date.
Forth coming events: Stitching Day 7 September 2019 - School Chair bags
We have a vision to make 200 or more chair bags for less privileged nursery and elementary schools.
In addition by the effort from the different home groups we shall provide an opportunity for achieving
our goal on our stitching day. On Saturday 7 September we will set up an assembly line at Lynnwood
Trinity Church and sew from 9:00 until we have made as many as possible. Join for the day or drop in
for an hour or two so that we can brighten up the day of as many underprivileged schools as possible.
The chair bags will be handed over at our October meeting.

Lyttel Quilters
- Hanneke Nel -
Lyttel quilters is an open quilt group situated in Centurion and
our current membership is 31 active members. We meet on the
first and third Wednesday (9:00-12:00) of each month at the
Methodist church in Monument Avenue in Lyttelton.
Lyttel quilters is a very active group. We already finished one
sampler quilt this year and are currently busy with a bargello
quilt project. We have regular demonstrations of techniques
that can be used in future projects. Show and tell is the
highlight of our meetings.
Our charity project for the year is a fundraising for the local SPCA and our annual
quilt for the church where we host our meetings.
10.1. Display Calendar 2019 Home groups that are affiliated to our Guild take turns to display their quilts at our Friendship meetings. Each group gets an opportunity approximately every second year to participate. It is expected that members of the groups that are scheduled to display bring plus/minus ten quilts per group to the venue on the previous day and assist with labelling and hanging of the quilts, with the
assistance of the labour on site. Please note that only Jacaranda members have the privilege to have
their quilts on display and be eligible for Viewers Choice. Non members are welcome to participate
in Show and Tell during the Friendship meeting.
