Hello Quilters.  The new Membership Books for 2017-2018 are going to the printer this week!  Please stop by the welcome table to pick up your copy.  Jennifer Kramer, membership@northernstarquilters.com.

*Guild Website and Email Communications–news@northernstarquilters.com*

 Originally, Communications was responsible for developing and mailing a monthly printed newsletter  to all members containing guild information and current updates.  The internet grew and a website was added with general information.  The cost of printing and mailing a newsletter became prohibitive and emailing replaced postal mail.  A few years ago, supporting a separate email newsletter as well as a website became unmanageable and the monthly newsletter information was folded into an expanded website.

The guild website maintains information about the many different facets of the guild, a calendar of upcoming events, and highlights of current guild activities as well as relevant local events and member accomplishments.  It also includes a blog (online journal) of updates from Board members. These monthly updates were the main component of the old printed/emailed newsletter and can now be found under  ‘Latest News’ on the website’s main screen(home page) starting the beginning of every month.

A few days later, a fairly automatic process emails these posts to members –  ‘News & Updates from Northern Star Quilters Guild’ .  This email blast of blog posts is still referred to as the ‘newsletter’.  Past blog posts can be found via ‘Archives’ in the footer at the bottom of the website page.

Another email,  ‘Monthly Meeting Reminders’ is sent to all members just a few days before the guild meeting and contains short notices collected from the Board about the upcoming meeting.  Special emails may occasionally be sent out with updated or one-time information. Neither of these are part of website.

In addition, website service was recently upgraded to provide faster response time.  Especially if you haven’t lately,  be sure to check out our website – https://www.northernstarquilters.com/

Hospitality:  Members with last names beginning with G, H, and I  are asked to bring a snack for November’s meeting. Members with D, E, and F last names:  If we run a November raffle, your October snack tickets will be accepted for a free chance, so try to put it where you will remember it next month!

ALSO:  We will be collecting food ( non-perishable items only, please) and gift card donations for local food pantries at the November meeting.  Kathy Keane and Meg Mooar will have their cars ready to accept donations as you enter the meeting – no need to bring your donations all the way in!  Just meet these ladies at the bottom of the stairs and help them fill up their cars.  Thank you!

Programs

2017-11-03T18:27:11-04:00SIGs, Special Events, Workshops|

*Lectures & Workshops*

We still really need some volunteers to help out on Tuesday nights during the meeting and at the lecture!

Based on the response we received about offering two workshops when Maria Shell visits our Guild in April, we will be going ahead with that idea.  In addition to the regularly scheduled Wednesday workshop on April 18, we will be offering a second one the following day.  People are invited to sign up for one or two days, and if you want to only do one class it can be either Wednesday or Thursday.

We are in the process of determining which classes we will be offering.  If we make that decision before our November meeting, signups will begin that evening.  If the decision has not been made, signups will start in December.

Payment for Classes – Remember our policy is to pay for a workshop when you signup.  Until we receive your payment, you are not guaranteed a seat in the class. Please abide by this policy to make the job easier for our Program Chair.

Lecture – 11/14/17 – TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A RIBBON WHORE(der)!

Our very own Debbie Bein has been winning ribbons for her art quilts at our shows since joining Northern Star as a novice quilter in 2002. In this hour-long fun-filled presentation, Debbie will share the secrets of her “totally unintentional and still amazing” success, and provide us with an inside scoop on what it is, exactly, that she does with all those ribbons!

Workshop – 11/15/17 – LET GO-JUST SEW!          

We  will learn a new quilt technique, launched TO OUR MEMBERS ONLY, during this full-day workshop. Debbie claims (and has testimonial support by our expert quilters Micki Tedeschi and Mary Cannizzaro) that her new pattern makes the EASIEST and FASTEST quilt EVER! BUT….quilters must learn to let go of some traditional rules and bend some rules with this great new technique.

Participants will choose one of several suggested formats while learning how to work fearlessly with piecing, connecting and quilting bias triangles. Using pre-cut squares, attendees will cut, piece, batt, and quilt a small project in the class, or begin one of the larger, more ambitious quilt projects to finish at home. Quilters will be truly amazed at how quickly and easily this quilt comes together – with this new technique a quilter can make a lap size, baby or twin size quilt, start to finish, (NO KIDDING!) in just two short days (or one long one!)

For further information, contact programs@northernstarquilters.com

*Special Events*

Holiday Boutique this year will take place in the hall outside of the auditorium starting at 6:00.  We will have several tables of items made by members, as well as fabric and notions from Comfort Quilts.  Bring extra money with you that evening so you can get a jump on your holiday shopping!

Lancaster – Sign up for our annual trip to the AQS Lancaster Quilt Show! Our trip takes place from March 23-24, 2018.  We will depart early Friday morning, spend our day shopping in Lancaster County, have dinner at Miller’s Smorgasbord, and spend the  night at the Marriott Courtyard in Lancaster.  We will spend Saturday at the quilt show, returning home Saturday evening.

The cost of the trip is $170 per person based on double occupancy.  The cost includes transportation, dinner and lodging on Friday night, breakfast on Saturday morning, and entry to the quilt show. If you would like to join us, please bring a check made payable to Northern Star Quilt Guild and sign up with Mary Cannizzaro at the November meeting.  Hope you can join us! Contact Jen Cannizzaro, trips@northernstarquilters.com

Guild Challenge – I hope you are working on your entry for this year’s challenge – Quilts Inspired By Doors.  The quilts will be collected at the January meeting and voting will take place at the February meeting.  Ribbons will be awarded for Most Creative, Best Use of Color, and Best Embellishments – First, Second, and Third Place ribbons in each category. Plus, one Best of Challenge is voted on as well. Click – Challenge Guidelines. Contact Carla Wdowski, specialevents@northernstarquilters.com

Super Saturday is taking shape.  We will start registering for classes during the November guild meeting.  As more classes are offered, we will add them to the list.  At this point, if any of you have a particular skill you are interested in learning, I shall try to find an instructor to match it – just let me know.  Just to remind everyone that the activities will be on a single level facility without stairs to climb.  Members who require help bringing equipment in should contact me and we will see how we can help you out.  Contact Pooa Bloomberg, supersaturday@northernstarquilters.com

*Winter Programs*

January’s Program will feature an assortment of exciting Short Demos by many of our talented members. We still have a couple slots so contact me to share your favorite technique!

February’s Program, the “Ugly Fabric Auction“, is back by popular demand and not to be missed!  Our wonderful Auctioneers Sandy and Carolyn, who are also talented quilters will  join us again.  I’m accepting Ugly Quilt Fabrics now thru January.  Remember one Quilter’s Ugly is another Quilter’s Beautiful Masterpiece!

Quilt Show

2017-11-01T16:38:23-04:00Quilt Show|

Our show committee is now complete. We thank everyone who has volunteered to work on our committee and we look forward to creating a successful show together.

We are very excited to announce that we have secured the Cherrywood Dutch Van Gogh exhibit for our show (http://cherrywoodfabrics.bigcartel.com/van-gogh).  This will be a wonderful addition to all of the beautiful quilts and displays that will fill the show.  Speaking of beautiful quilts, we hope everyone is hard at work on their own show entry(s).

We would ask all of the SIGs to please let us know if you will be putting an exhibit in the show. We need your information by January so that we can finalize the set up in the gym.

Once again we invite you to participate in our Silent Auction which will feature quilts that will be auctioned off at the 2018 show. If you would like to donate a piece, please keep the following guidelines in mind: perimeter less than 125” with a 3” sleeve and a label.  JoAnne Hochstein will collect completed quilts at each guild meeting. If you have any questions contact her at silentauction@northernstarquilters.com

President’s Message

2017-10-11T16:35:07-04:00President's Message|

It was great being back last month.  I was happy to see that we have a number of new members – welcome and enjoy all the guild has to offer.  You will find that our members are a great resource for helping you with any quilting questions you may have.  And, if you need any information on the guild, please feel free to contact me.

To those who stayed for September’s lecture, I hope you found it as interesting as I did.  I also realize that there were a few glitches in the auditorium set up – I have spoken to the school as to what to do and expect to have them rectified for next month.   We are still working our way through coordinating with Kennedy Catholic on how we run our meetings without the help of Sister Barbara – we do miss her.  Also, if anyone left a white sweater behind, I have it and will bring it to the October meeting.

Thank you to everyone who made pillow cases to send to hurricane victims.  If you still would like to make one, we will be posting an address to send them to. The ones we collected have been mailed out and we will not be doing another mailing.  Word is the areas affected by the three hurricanes are not looking for quilts, there are other basic essential items they need first, so we will not be collecting quilts in the foreseeable future.

I hope to see you in October.  Susan Fasnacht,  President@northernstarquilters.com

Membership Information

2017-10-05T08:39:33-04:00Hospitality, Library, Membership|

*Membership – Jennifer Kramer*

It was very nice to see everyone and welcome 94 members and 1 guest to the September meeting.  We celebrated those members who renewed their membership prior to the September 1st by awarding four $25.00 gift certificates. The gift certificates can be used for NSQG programs and trips.

Please welcome our new members: Christine Lazarus, Kathleen Porter, Mary Brewer, Katherine Darretta, Linda Franco, Jane Pinchuk, Deborah Warren, Linda DiBrita and returning member Marilyn Cambigianis.

——————

In October we are very happy to welcome our first Member Showcase this season, with our famous quilting couple, Eunice and Don Gough.  Enjoy their quilts on display at the meeting.

           Eunice and Don have many things in common. They are both licensed airplane pilots, both capable house builders having built their own house by themselves and both are avid quilters although their styles are very different. Eunice tends to do more traditional, pieced or appliqué quilts while Don is more into raw edge fusible pictorial quilts.

           Eunice has been quilting for many years. Her first quilt was a baby quilt for a friend. She was a member of the Northern Star Quilt Guild when they were meeting at the Somers elementary school.

           About ten years ago Don noticed Eunice making a Christmas quilt. He commented how he didn’t like the background color. Eunice responded with “If you don’t like it, go make your own”. Don did just that and from then on he was hooked on quilting. With Eunice helping, Don would try a new technique with each successive quilt.

           Don is more competitive than Eunice and he would encourage Eunice to enter her quilts in the NSQG shows. Don has entered his quilts in shows around the country and both Eunice and Don have many awards. During the last six years Don has led the Landscape quilters SIG.

—————

If you have not renewed your membership from last year it would be best if you did this prior to the October meeting. Print your form, include a check for $45.00 and mail it to NSQG Membership, PO Box 232, Somers, NY 10589.  The membership booklet information will be available at the October meeting for you to proof read and then the info will go to print.  Don’t miss the chance to be included in the 2017-18 booklet.

*Programs – Helen May*

We need your help! Is there someone who would like to help out on Tuesday nights during the meeting and at the lecture?  We really need some volunteers …. Added advantage is helping book future teachers!!!

   We are thinking about doing something new this year… Maria Shell (https://mariashell.com/) is joining us from Alaska and has an extra day free.   We would like to book her for two days of workshops, with Thursday the 19th being added to the April 17th lecture and 18th workshop . If you did not sign up and would be interested in taking two days of workshops, please e-mail me at programs@northernstarquilters.com

 

October 17-18, 2017 – BONNIE DWYER – http://bonniedwyer.com/ –  contact programs@northernstarquilters.com

Lecture – THE ROOTS OF MODERN QUILTING

In this one-hour program, Bonnie shares her study and findings about the development of The Modern Quilt Guild. This early 21st Century quilting revival has taken the quilting world by storm with a fresh, new look characterized by a variety of factors. This slide show and lecture, along with a few examples of actual quilts, traces the founding of this international phenomenon and its roots in social media. 

Workshop – INSTANT IMPROV

This workshop presents a laid-back approach to design, forcing quilters to work with what they have. Participants will make improvisational quilt blocks by combining a few of their own scraps with those supplied in class. We will let loose with wonky strips and off-kilter squares in this fun-filled journey down the improv road. This class works well for those who have always wanted to bring out their inner abstract artist. This workshop is best for those who will allow themselves to be open to asymmetrical, abstract, and generally ‘wonky’ designs.

*Boutique-Mary Cannizzaro*

The Boutique is open to all members to sell their wares at the November guild meeting. This year it is from 6 to 7 p.m. on November 14 in the lower lobby.  The table fee is $25, and members can share a table with another member.

If you would like to participate, please contact Mary Cannizzaro at boutique@northernstarquilters.com.

*Super Saturday-Pooa Bloomberg*

Super Saturday is scheduled for February 17, 2018 and we looking for instructors for the day.   It will take place at the same place as last year, the First Presbyterian Church of Yorktown on Crompond Road (Rte. 35/202 and 132).   We need to start lining up the classes.  Please think of what you can do to teach your fellow members.  If you have acquired special skills by taking a class or learning from a book, consider passing on your knowledge.  Traditionally, it is a fun-packed, highly educational day which includes a lunch provided by the guild.

Please contact Pooa Bloomberg at supersaturday@northernstarquilters.com if you are interested in teaching a class.

Charitable Activities

2017-10-03T17:01:59-04:00Charitable Activities|

 Kit Parade – Every year, Comfort Quilts has a Summer Project.  This summer each participating quilter was supplied with one of the famous Comfort Quilts Kits made by Carol Auer and Karen Carlson.  Winners of the Winner’s Choice Raffle get to select from the many quilts that will be exhibited on the Cafeteria Wall at our October Guild meeting.  The more tickets that are sold, the more quilts will be raffled.  You may be one of the lucky winners who not only wins a quilt, but also supports the many NSQG charitable activities.

 

Comfort Quilts – Guild members have been hard at work making Comfort Quilts;  286 Quilts have been distributed between July 2016 and June 2017.  Recipients of these quilts included Westchester Medical Behavioral Unit, Ossining Children’s Center, Kids in Crisis, Northern Westchester Hospital ICU, Blythedale Pediatric Hospital, North Salem Ambulance Corps, Congregation B’nai Y’Israel (who generously hosts CQ during the summer session), Kennedy Catholic as well as many fund raisers and individual gifts. Thank you to the many members who make quilts or donate fabric for this worthy cause.

Raffle Quilt 2018 – Remember to return your completed blocks for the 2018 Raffle Quilt, Jack’s Chain at the October meeting.

Hurricane Harvey – Many thanks to the many members who made pillowcases for the victims of Hurricane Harvey.

Quilt Show

2017-10-03T17:03:42-04:00Quilt Show|

We are very excited to be co-chairing the quilt show again this year.  Our show committee is already hard at work on a World of Quilts XXXIX. The raffle quilt designed by Donna Chambers is beautiful. In addition to the quilt we also have a Bernina sewing machine donated by Pins and Needles in Mount Kisco. Our speaker and invitational quilter is Victoria Findlay Wolfe. We look forward to hearing her lecture and viewing her amazing quilts.

As all of our committee members organize all of the behind the scenes work it is time to ask you, all of our guild members, for your support. The most important part of any quilt show is…….the quilts! We hope you are working on a quilt (or 2) that you can put in our show. Whether you are a beginning quilter or a master quilter, art, modern or traditional quilter we look forward to displaying your work. Let’s show all of our visitors what our guild is all about. If you have had a quilt in the show before you know how thrilling it is to see your work admired. If you have never put a quilt in the show please consider putting one in this year. Let’s have all members proudly wearing an “exhibitor” ribbon.

Also, now is the time to be thinking about donating a quilt for the Silent Auction. This is a part of our show that many visitors look forward to.

Of course it takes many volunteer hours to put on a show of this size. Volunteer sign- ups begin in January and we ask all members to work 2 hours on the show starting with judging all the way through to take-down. Remember, it takes an entire guild to have a successful show!

President’s Message

2017-09-01T17:36:13-04:00President's Message|

It’s hard to believe the summer is over, but I’m looking forward to the start of a new year at NSQG.  September seems to be a problem month for us.  First, as I hope you have heard, our meeting will take place a week later than normal on September 26.  Kennedy Catholic seems to have settled on the third Tuesday of September for their Back to School Night – the same evening as our usual meeting date. Because of this, in the future we will plan on holding the September meeting either the second or fourth Tuesday of the month (fourth Tuesday in 2018).

Our second last minute change was the need to find a new speaker.  Unfortunately, our scheduled speaker has some health issues and had to cancel just a little over a week ago.  Helen May, our Program Chair, was able to quickly find a substitute for both the lecture and the workshop.  Our speaker will be Joan Radell, talking about handbags with a workshop the next day where you can make your own bag.  Read more about it in the Programs section of this news update.  I hope you will consider taking the workshop.

Overall, the year looks very exciting.  We have a great line up of speakers and workshops.  There are lots of activities – you can participate in our Guild Challenge, go on the trip to Lancaster, take a class on Super Saturday, join a SIG, or make a Comfort Quilt. Due to popular demand, we plan on bringing back the Ugly Fabric Auction in February.  Finally we will be holding “A World of Quilts XXXIX”, on May 5 and 6 with featured speaker Victoria Findlay Wolfe.

I hope to see you on the 26th and don’t forget to bring you summer projects for Show and Tell!

Welcome back!  As you may remember, each month a select group of members is asked to provide snacks to add to the hospitality table.  Hospitality will provide tea, coffee, and water, as well as plates,  napkins, and cutlery.  For September, we would ask the members whose last names begin with A, B, and C to bring in a snack for the meeting.  We would suggest snacks like precut fruit, cake, cookies, cheese and crackers, or vegetables.  Thanks so much for planning ahead!

There are some changes in check out and returns. Books may be checked out for one month. They are due the following month. If they are not returned after the third month you will get a bill for the  full replacement price. If you can’t come to the meeting have a  member friend to return it for you. You may also mail it back. Written instructions will be given to everyone when they check out a book for the first couple of months. I will be at the September meeting if you have any questions.
