Blue Valley Quilters Guild - March 2017
Patchworks
Next Meeting:
…………..March 7,
Location: Presbyterian
Church of Stanley
14895 Antioch
Overland Park, KS
The church is on the
northeast corner of
151st St. & Antioch.
Please park on the south
side of the church and
enter through the door
just off the north parking
lot.
I hope everyone has been enjoying this crazy winter that we are having. It's been beautiful, but it is not inspiring me to get much quilting done! I was happy to be able to stop by the February charity sewing day. It was great to see everyone happily work-ing together and hear all of the chatter going on. This guild is such a nice group to be involved with - hopefully my schedule will change in the fall and I can be there on a regular basis. In the meantime, I know that everyone enjoys having Stephanie run the show and elections will be held at the March meeting - one month earlier than usual because of the party-bus heading to Hamilton in April. Then the new board will take over in May! Happy Sewing!

We are so thrilled to present our own Karen Hansen and Mary Kay
Fosnacht. These two ladies are filled with talent, imagination, skill,
ideas and fun. They will be presenting their own works started at the
same workshop and ending up beautifully different. These two are so
very unassuming and humble about their talents - but
their work is imaginative, creative, and so interesting in detail......we
are lucky to have them in our guild, and even luckier they are willing to
share their knowledge and work with us.

We will have an exciting month with Jacquie Gering as our
Program Presenter. She is a HUGE influence in the Modern
Quilting World, and such a fantastic speaker! She brings
quilts from her new book, and I am sure each one has an in-
teresting story that is interwoven in her work.
Julie and Kristen wrap up their schedule with a presentation from Deanne Eisenman of Snuggles Quilts. This will be on wool applique and Deanne will give a trunk show of this very popular technique. You may want to be sure your phones are charged so you can take pictures!

t Thank you all for all the positive feedback we've gotten over the last 2 years of serving as Program Chairs. We appreciate all your input and suggestions and ask you to keep them coming - we always want to hear about new and/or undiscovered talent which we can bring to our Guild. Joan and Nancy will take over and we are looking forward to the wonderful programs they will find and bring to us over the next 2 years!!!
We're on 'pins and needles'!!! Julie and Kristen
Dust off your boots, & wear your best western duds 'cause we're go-ing to 'Rodeo' on April 29th.
There will be bull riding, calf roping, cow-pie tossing, sewing, munching,
massages, and just plain ole visitin'. All at the corral at Queen of the Holy Rosary Hall, 22779 Metcalf, Bucyrus, KS. Mosie in at 9am and stay until the cows go home at 8:30pm. Lunch & dinner is catered. You may want
to bring some snacks to share. Cash/check to pay for some relaxing massage time. Bring a project to work on, a sewing ma-chine, any other crafty stuff. Throw in a S.W.A.G. gift to exchange with a friend; nothing expensive or explosive!!! Make sure it's wrapped or even in a plain brown bag (mystery!) and put your name on the inside so the gal knows who to thank!

March Boutique Report
This is it! The March guild meeting is the last regular guild meeting to pick up kits to make items for boutique! Don’t miss out – we will have kits to distribute for a few new products, including the eyeglass case and a child’s I-Spy toy (also known as a Find-It Game).
Let’s Get Busy
We need you in the Tooly Tool Easel Workshop! Sign up for March 9 Sit & Stitch and learn how to make this adorable desktop tool holder. Leta Richards will lead the work-shop. You make one from a kit for the boutique to sell, and you’ll have the pattern and pre-cut matboard to make your own. $10 workshop fee covers your pattern and mat-board cost.
March 23 Sit & Stitch: Please come to make a giant Mat-and-Ruler bag to sell at boutique. These are high-price items with the potential to earn us a lot of money! If you don’t want to make a bag, come and help us complete items for boutique.
Kits: We’ve worked hard to develop a product line that will appeal to our customers. Our goal is to sell out.
Please stick to the kits as much as possible, although we will consider other items on a case-by-case basis.
Lending and Borrowing
The Boutique Committee is shifting focus to our booth design and the logistics of selling our products. Here are some items we need to display our products beautifully. Please contact Lauren Bond (cell phone: 919-244-3485 – area code really is 919, or [email protected]) if you can help.
A skinny artificial Christmas tree (5-7’ tall, with lights, preferred) Large rectangular area rug in a muted design or color – 9’x12’. Light weight, easy-to-assemble shelving – either table top or full size
Boutique
Small easy chair with stuffed upholstered arms One stylish metal multi-level étagère, at least 36” tall, something like this:
Boutique Reminders:
Stop by our Boutique Table before the guild meeting starts and during the break.
When you pick up a kit, please sign it out so we keep track of where the kits have gone.
When you drop off your completed projects, let us know so we can “check you off” the list.
Completed items are due May 2017! Thank you for your contin-ued support of the boutique! We have an exceptional guild and we are on our way to a boutique we will all be proud of!
Thank you one and all for your hard work on charity quilts this past month. Safe Home received twenty completed quilts. With the seven sent over in January, that gets our yearly count to twenty-seven. Not only that, twenty-five tops were turned in as well. That represents a lot of hard work by everyone, and I believe our sew day has to be considered a success.
Someone left two pieced strips on one of the ironing boards. One kind of block looks oriental, another tan and white stripes, and the third sort of a muddy purple. The length would indicate they go to a lap quilt. I'll be sure to have them with me at the March meeting so they can be claimed or you can contact me and I'll see that you get them.

KANSAS CITY REGIONAL QUILT FESTIVAL
The date is just around the corner, now is the time to sign up to help the Guild fulfill our share of the operations. We need volun-teers for Concierge, Registration, Judging, and general help.

PDQ COMMITTEE (Projects done by Quilters) PDQ Process: A form (green sheet with PDQ at the top) is available at every meeting that can be filled out with information regarding your request for special projects assistance other than what is already on our monthly docket. Wilma Lamfers, [email protected] , Facilitator for PDQ,
Sit & Stitch Workshops Sit & Stitch meets most every 2nd & 4th Thursdays
of each month at Rose Estates, 127th & Antioch. Each Thursday there is either a workshop led by a
BVQG member or a time for members to come and sew on their own projects. Arrival time is 9:30
with workshops starting at 10 AM. Participants bring their lunch. BVQG members are always welcome to come even if they are not signed
up for a workshop. Sit & Stitch is a good way to get acquainted with other members. If you have questions concerning Sit & Stitch please contact Wilma Lamfers,
Leta Richards will be leading us in a Sit & Stitch workshop Thursday, March 9th - this workshop will be another way we can help the 2017 Bou-tique committee fill their booth for the festival. We'll be taking signups for the "Tooly Tool Holder Easel"at the March meeting. Leta Richards has received permission from the designer to sell
20 of these at the boutique. That means we would like to encourage at least that many to signup and participate in this workshop. The Easel that you make during the workshop will go to the boutique. All supplies will be furnished. You will go home with the pattern and mat board to make one for yourself. Workshop fee is $10. It will be "Mat & Ruler Bag" Sit & Stitch workshop on Thursday, March 23rd. Janette Shel-don will lead us in making her bag design. These bags were a hit at the last Festival. The quilted fabric will be furnished so all you need to do is come with your sewing machine, ro-tary supplies and normal sewing items. These bags will also be sold at the Festival. You will go home with the pattern and knowledge of how you can make one of these bags for you. We will be taking signups for this workshop at the March meeting. Workshop fee is $5.
We are on our way to "paying it forward" to Rose Estates. Several members
met at Rose Estates for the February 9th Sit
& Stitch workshop to construct chair caddies
and walker bags for the residents of Rose
Estates. We met again Thursday, February
23rd with the hope of getting many more
items made - we will present the articles to the staff at the end of the
month. Thanks to all who participated in this year's project
February
March
And here is something to look forward to - Joyce Edwards will be introducing the AccuQuilt GO Cutter at the Thursday, April 6th Sit & Stitch. If you have a GO this will be a wonderful opportunity to pick up some good tips and techniques to help you use your GO cut-ter most effectively. If you don't have a GO and are just interested in seeing how one is used, please plan to signup. If you have a GO please bring yours along with your dies - make sure everything is marked before coming. The project for above workshop, either for piecing or appliqué , will be available at the March meeting. Signups will begin at the March meeting. Pay your workshop fee of $10 and receive your supply list.

anytime you get a group of women together, you’re going to have some good cooks.
SO……... when you bring something for your birthday, or you just have a great recipe
to share, send it to me and I’ll publish it in the newsletter.
Ingredients:
Krusteaz Meyer Lemon Bars Mix
1 pouch complete crust
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
8 oz. (1cup) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup + 2 tsps. sugar
4 eggs
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 pouch Meyer lemon filling mix
1/3 cup water
Heat oven to 350F. Lightly grease 8X8X2 inch pan. Place complete crust mix and graham crack-er crumbs in medium bowl; stir with fork until well blended. Press crust mixture firmly into bottom of pan. Bake 8 minute. Place cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar in medium bowl. Using an elec-tric mixer, mix on low speed until smooth. Add 1 egg and vanilla. Continue to mix on low speed until smooth. Pour cream cheese mixture over hot curst. In another bowl, stir Meyer lemon filling mix, water, 3 eggs and 2 tsps. sugar together using a whisk until well blended. Pour Meyer lemon filling over cream cheese layer. Bake 35-40 minutes. Cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate and cut into squares. Best served cold.

If you have any of the following you don’t need/want, I
would love to take them off your hands and use them:
Thread Spools – any size any brand (for my granddaughter’s school
art classes)
Selvages – for me to make a selvage quilt and accessories
Polyester Fiberfill – to stuff “peanut” pillows for the hospital.
