Greetings fellow CCQ members!
The year is half over. I can hardly believe it is already
July. Time is certainly flying. The good news is that
you still have time to complete an entry for Hot August
Nights, or start one, as I need to do. You will find the
Rainbow Quilt Challenge instructions on the CCQ
website, www.countrycrossroadsquilters.com.
Speaking of our website, thank you, Anita Hay, for
your efforts in updating the website.
Time is also running out on CCQ’s show at the Mistlin
Gallery, 1015 J Street, Modesto. A Celebration of
Fiber Arts runs through July 7. If you have not made a
trip downtown to see the show, you have a few more
days. I understand that this show has been well
received by the community. I have had several friends
(non-quilters) comment on their enjoyment of the
show. A reminder if you have pieces in the show, they
need to be picked up on July 8th.
Also downtown, two of our members will be guest
artists at Carolyn Huff Photography Studio located at
1224 K Street, Modesto. The featured artist in August,
will be Barbara Grandon, and in September, Cathie
Hoover, will be featured. Stop by and take a look at
their work. Cathie Hoover will be our program speaker
(The Color Red) and provide a workshop (Wild for
Machine Embellishments), in November.
If you are in the mood to venture out of town, the San
Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles
(www.sjquiltmuseum.org) has several new exhibits
beginning in July. From July 12 through October 15
will be a selection of modern an historic quilts, titled
“Bold Statements: Quilts from the Permanent
Collection.” From July 21 through October 15, the
13th Quilt Nihon Exhibition will feature over 30 quilts
from the Japan Handicraft Instructors Association
(JHIA).
I recently returned from the Vermont Quilt Festival.
The show had beautiful quilts and interesting vendors.
The state of Vermont is quite beautiful. If you are ever
in Essex Junction (the home of this Quilt Show, near
Burlington, Vermont), be sure to check out Yankee
Pride, one of the best quilt shops I have ever visited.
Whenever I attend a quilt show or special exhibit of
quilts, I am always inspired and come away with more
then a few new ideas for projects. I would encourage
each of you to attend other guild quilt shows in our
area.
Enjoy your summer.
Kathy
Hot August Nights, August 8
Hot August Nights is right around the
corner. The potluck will begin at 6 pm,
not our normal meeting time. Please
bring a dish by the initial of your last
name:
A-J Main dish
K-R salad
Q-Z dessert
According to the Vice Presidents’ article,
challenge entries need to be turned in
by 5 pm, so be sure to have them at
there by then.
I’ll be thinking of you while you are
looking at all of the wonderful challenge
entries and enjoying the potluck fare. I’ll
be at a retreat at Lake Tahoe.

The erroneous group name on the email sent
cancelling the prior meeting was entirely my fault, and
I apologize profusely. The contacts never once
referred to the group as a guild. Anita

August starts our countdown to the October Give-A-
Way. We have about 100 quilts completed. I haven't
taken a detailed count, but that number sounds good.
We are looking for 200 or more this year. Please
come to our group meetings to help us make our
goal. If you cannot stay, pickup a kit and complete it
at home. Carol and Paddy

One card was sent this month:
Anita Hay Get Well
Barbara Grandon
Believe it or not, it is that time again. We need to start
working on a couple aspects of the Quilt Show. There
are a couple of specific tasks that we need to start:
There is a committee forming to design and make
the Opportunity Quilt(s). If anyone is interested,
please contact me and I will put your name on the
list. We would like to have a kick off meeting this
month.
We need to start thinking about the Featured
Quilters. We would like to have nominees
submitted during the Program and Business
meetings in July so that we can announce the
winners at the Hot August Nights Program. We
will have ballots available at the meetings. If you
are not able to be present, send me an e-mail
with your vote. We usually have two Featured
Quilters so vote for the two Guild members that
have a great body of work that should be
spotlighted at the Quilt Show.
There are some committee positions open. We
need someone to take over coordinating the
vendors and someone to coordinate the QS
publicity. I also need an assistant Quilt Show
Chairperson. None of these positions need to be
filled by only one person, and you can always ask
for help from other members during the busy time
of the job.
If anyone is interested in any or all of these activities
or would like more information on any of the task,
please e-mail me at [email protected] and I
will get back to you as soon as I can.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Unless otherwise noted, all workshops will be held at
Trinity United Presbyterian Church, where we have
our meetings.
Signup sheets are available for all workshops. Unless
otherwise noted, class size is limited to 20 students.
There will be supply lists with each signup sheet. To
guarantee your space in the workshop, you must pay
at the time you sign up. We will no longer save
spaces for those who do not pay in advance.
Our workshops usually fill up. However, if the
workshop is full, call Marianne or Charlene to be
added to a “wait list”, or to see if there is a last minute
cancellation that needs to be filled.
Workshops are $40 for Guild members, unless
otherwise stated on the signup sheet. If the workshop
is given by Guild members, your fees will be returned
to you when you attend the workshop. If a workshop
is not full one month before its date, we will open it up
to non-Guild members at a cost of $50. Cancellations
must be made one month prior to the date of the
workshop in order to receive a refund. If there is less
than one month before the class, contact Marianne
Groth, (209)527-6601, or Charlene Befus,
(209)551-2010, to see if there is a waiting list with a
substitute. If not, you may be able to find someone
not on a wait list to take your place.

Program Meeting Minutes, June 13, 2017 The meeting was called to order at 6:59 pm by
President Kathryn Sandner.
There were 70 members present and 1 guest.
Tiffany Hayes from Lancaster, CA, was our guest
speaker. Using EQ7, she designs quilts for several
fabric companies. Her quilts are sort of traditional and
sort of modern, and her husband was so intrigued
with her new long arm, that he learned to digitize
quilts as well as quilt them. Her website,
www.needleinahayestack.biz, has patterns, class
schedules and the Goddess Tool for sale.
Announcements:
Ever think that Country Crossroads Quilters is a
mouthful. Some folks are entertaining the idea of
giving the Guild a new name. Suggestions
welcome.
Tuleberg Guild Show is in November. If you
would like to enter quilts, see Kathy Sandner
The raffle for Andover Fabric bundles donated by
Tiffany Hayes were won by Sharon Ayers and
