REMINDER: The Guild’s regular meeting time is 7 PM!
April Meeting: “Just Look—Don’t Touch” Challenge Show
Come early to the April Guild meeting so you’ll have time to browse
Challenge 2019, a display of more than 45 quilt show signs designed by
members to remind the public to view our quilts without touching.
Guests are welcome, but only members can vote. Pick up your ballot
near the membership table and vote for your 4 favorites—each quilt will
have a number. Voting will end midway through the break, when
participants will be asked to collect their entries and line up in numerical
order for the parade. I'm pleased to have Patti Hunter assist me with the
reading of entry details.
Info for Participants: Please let me know if you are unable to attend April's meeting so I can arrange a
substitute to hold your sign during the parade. If you have multiple entries, join the parade according to your
lowest entry number, then arrange your entries from lowest to highest (only your entry with the highest ballot
count will be eligible for an award.) Pillowcases will be available for pick up after the awards are given.
Have a great idea for a 12” x 12” quilt show sign? I’ll be happy to accept your contribution at any future
meeting. Thank you.
Carol Hart, Challenge Chair
May Speaker and Workshop
Rami Kim: “Asian Designs in a Modern World”
Our speaker in May will be Rami Kim, a DNA scientist turned fabric artist/
quilter/instructor known nationally and internationally. She is a 19-time Best of
Show winner, distinguished for her innovative art-to-wear. Her passion is in
contemporary art-to-wear, quilts, cloth dolls, and bags with special interest in
3-dimensional textures. She is known for her own distinctive colors and
techniques.
On May 10, Rami will conduct a workshop entitled “Folded Square & Hexagon
for Cross Stitch & Pieced Quilts.” Because the pieces include built-in backing,
your quilts will already be backed and quilted once all of the “hexies” are
pieced together. Examples are on the Workshop table; register for the workshop at the table or contact
Margaret Dear ([email protected]).

Interim Chair’s Message
Hurray, we have almost filled the vacant board slots with nominees. We still need a nominee to parliamentarian. I am sure that someone from the guild will come forward and agree to be nominated for this position. Just a reminder, the general membership will vote on the start time of the general meeting in May. If you want your voice to be heard, please be present and vote.
We are almost past the bad weather. The sun is shining and the birds are singing, sometimes! Bright colors are appearing on all the quilt shop web sites and in local quilt shops. Take a look and get fresh ideas for that next quilt. Of course, after you have made at least one veterans’ quilt for the Visiting Nurse and Hospice pinning program. We plan to give the quilts in July to VNA.
Think good thoughts, find that bit of sunlight and quilt on.
Linda Boynton de Sepulveda, Guild Interim Chair

our meetings shall start so you will be voting on that too.

*For health reasons, Debbi Haeberle resigned her current position as President on March 25, 2019,

and send her our Guild’s best wishes.

Block of the Month News
Sixteen wonderful Irish Chain blocks-of-the-month are presented in this photo by BoM Chair Nancy Butterfield. The blocks were won by Diana Hamilton, who graciously gave them to another contributor, Joyce Ball. A bit o' Green Generosity was at play this month! This March Block of the Month was originally published in 2005, created by Becky Gallup and MaryAnn Huggins. Many thanks to all who contributed these Lucky Charms!!
The May BoM is especially important because of the opportunity for our guild to honor our military
veterans, past and present. Please consider making multiple blocks to be included in quilts that will
be created for service members in our community.
In recognition of this effort, for this month only, all blocks will be donated to Community Quilts rather
than to a BoM participants’ drawing. Let's show the Flag in a big way this month!
Nancy Butterfield, BoM Chair
Amnesty Declared: Please Return Guild Binders
Do you have a guild binder from a past or recent assignment as a Guild officer, committee chair,
quilt show volunteer, or other guild job? If so, please turn it in to the library book-return box. Guild
Librarian Carol Hart has graciously volunteered to create a check-out system so binders can be
more easily tracked. No questions asked, no recriminations, psychic burden lifted!

Library News
The library will be closed in April except for returns and donations.
I will step down as Librarian after June's meeting and I will be happy to elaborate the job’s duties
with anyone interested in serving as the next Librarian. This job has been delightful while providing
a nice opportunity to get to know more members. I learned so much as I became familiar with our
collection that I have a new “future projects” wish list. This job isn't too demanding; it is mostly
setting up, being "open" prior to the business portion of the meeting and during break, then putting
away the books. The "circulation desk" was cleverly fitted into a perfect basket by a previous library
team.
Carol Hart, Librarian
Parking: Please Don’t Back In
As common courtesy to neighbors with homes adjacent to the St.
Andrews parking lot, members are asked not to back in to parking
spaces on the housing side of the lot. Pull straight in, to avoid
inflicting unwelcome exhaust fumes and lights on the neighbors.
Thank you for being considerate.
Opportunity Alert: Editor Needed
Interested in being next year’s Coastlines editor? Please contact current editor, Heather Georgakis,
Monthly duties include soliciting and editing articles from guild officers and committee chairs; it is
helpful but not required for the editor to attend board meetings. The editor is part of a great team
including other guild members who handle the layout, printing, e-delivery and web posting of
monthly Coastlines content.
The new editor will take over for the July issue (work begins in mid-June); plenty of guidance will be
available. If you’re looking for a fun way to connect with other guild members, this is it!
