PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Greetings fellow quilters ,
We had another great sew day with 24 beautiful smiling faces and 2 guests that attended. It seemed
that everyone was busy working on their projects and it's always very inspiring to see so much
creativity under one roof. I keep hoping that some of this energy and creativity will rub off on me. At
least maybe a little bit. Remember to keep working on your project to show in our quilt show
next year. The board mtg. has been cancelled for Aug. but will restart in Sept. So our next get
together will be for the workshop Sept. 5th. There are two different possible projects and the cutting
instructions will be in this newsletter. Our general meeting will be Sept. 19th at the grange and the
board meeting will be Sept 26th at the library from 9 AM until noon. Remember Annie Star's Quilt
Show will be Sept 28-29. There is a large fire in the hills and I want to offer my thoughts and
prayers for those that this fire might affect. I know that some of our members live near that area but
the smoke is affecting a lot more. If there is anyone who needs assistance, please let us know.
Maybe we can help them out. So until the workshop, I pray for health, safety, and peace for
all.
Mary Jane Sasek 538-8086

PROGRAMS:

QUILT GUILDS OF THE NORTH QUARTER
Our last meeting of the north quarter was July 27th in Red Bluff. We had a wonderful lunch of
smoked chicken with cowboy beans, huge baked potatoes, salad and cornbread. A lovely program
was presented by Mary Perkin of the museum in Red Bluff at the Kelly Griggs House. It was too
bad that there wasn't an opportunity to actually visit the museum. Mary brought several quilts that
have been donated to the museum. The museum volunteers are often given quilts about which there
is no info. A reminder to us ladies that someday one of our quilts may be given to a museum, and
will the donating party know any of the history of  the quilt? At least a label would be of some help
to folks who inherit our creations. At the meeting, Colusa's guild (Pacific Flyway Quilters)
volunteered to host the next meeting of the north quarter quilt guilds. The meeting is scheduled for
October 26, 2013. The location of the meeting is to be announced later. In January, Willows will be
hosting Then in April, it will be our turn again. Hopefully the weather will be nice for that day., Rep. Dorothy Welton, Clara Midwood,.

Nancy Clayton will be teaching a Table Runner
class. You may choose one, the other or both and
you may coordinate or not. The supply listings are

finishes at 13 x 17 without borders
Four different "ffat quarters." Include one light,
one medium and 2 dark fabrics for contrast
One yard of coordinating fabric for the backs
One yard thin batting and an optional 1/2 yard
coordinating fabric for borders and/or binding
Sewing supplies needed - a rotary cutter with new
or very sharp blade, 6 x 24 ruler and 12 1/2 "
square, flat head pins and regular sewing supplies
Nancy's "Pathways" 12” x 72” made up of six
12” x 12” blocks (you can reduce the length by
multiples of 6 12 1/2 x 2 1/2 strips and 5 small

All the usual machine, cutting and regular sewing
supplies
An 18 inch ruler and a 12 ½ by 12 ½ ruler will be

We enjoy seeing your smiling faces, the whir of
the machines, and the delicious edibles brought to
our potluck lunch. October 3rd, the Thursday
before the Retreat, Susan Howard will be teaching
the Salt Water Taffy quilt. It can be finished in
those three days with no problem. We hope to have
you with us in September and October. Remember,

President’s Message: 
Hello Ladies,
Life has been such a blur for me the past few months, so I ask that you forgive the lack of
punctuality in my quilting responsibilities. It will get better, I promise! I think we had a great
meeting this month and am sorry I will miss the September one, but with a wedding just two days
later I will be absolutely no good to the meeting! LOL Wanda will have some sign up sheets for
next years projects, so I hope you will take advantage of some of the new techniques and such
that will be taught. If you have any more ideas, please let her know so she can make a new sign up
sheet for your idea too. I hope you all have a great August and Sept., and I will see you at the October
meeting. Again, thank you for allowing me to be who I am. Love and awesome quilting.....Yvonne

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Greetings. We had a great sew day in July. I did not get an accurate count but there were about 25-
27 people. We had a beautiful time with a great pot luck. A lot of sewing was accomplished, with
great fellowship, keeping cool in the brighter, larger air conditioned building next door. WOW!
And not only that, but we will be doing it again next month. YAH! I also want to thank Sue for
helping me with the corner inserts on my quilt. Maybe, just maybe, I will get this done before the
quilt show next year. It was also great to have Nancy back with us. It is so good to see how well
you are doing. We have cancelled the Board Meeting for the month of July and August. There is
nothing to work on right now for the quilt show. The workshop for August is cancelled. The
general meeting on August 15th will be another SEW DAY. So bring your projects, a pot luck
dish, and your beautiful smiles. It is a great time to get some sewing done (for the quilt show), to get
help or on any sewing problem you might have and to socialize. We are so fortunate to have so much
talent in our group who are willing to help out our new members who are just learning and (for those
of us who are harder at learning). So come one and all. Maybe we can even make a larger group next
month. OH, OH, OH! That makes for more food and more variety. (There goes the diet.) I hope to
see your bright shining faces on the 15th of Aug.Until then, try to stay cool and enjoy your
summer.

Mary Jane Sasek 538-8086


PROGRAM:

SEWING DAY
August 15th. We are enjoying our hiatus and the Sew Day was wonderful. September we will get
back to workshops and are looking forward to setting the table with place-mats from Linda
Pearson and a table runner from Nancy Clayton. At the August Sew Day, we will show you more and
in the Newsletter we will let you know the supplies. Enjoy the time to catch up on UFOs or
even better new ideas.

President’s Message: 

Hello Moonlighters;

Another month of hot weather for sure. I know a lot of you stay indoors and do a lot of sewing
during this hot weather, and I hope some of you were able to get your entries in for the Butte
County Fair. My life has been way too busy, but maybe next year I will try as I have never entered
anything in a fair before. Maybe we can challenge each other to get at least one in to help promote our
Moonlighters Group of wonderful quilters. I would also like to thank Wanda and her helpers for
having such a successful quilting retreat. Everyone who went said they had a wonderful time and can't
wait until next year. Remember to mark your calendar for next July 10th, 11th, and 12th, I know
I am!!! As for our group projects, they are all BOM for MoonLighters August coming along wonderfully! The row quilt exchange is happening every month now, along with the round robin, and next month's meeting the Garden Quilt group is going to show us their progress too! We also talked about future projects
and classes that everyone will enjoy for next year. Don't forget that in October we are going to do the
mystery quilt with Dorothy Welton. I hope everyone has a great month and we will see you the
third Thursday of August! Happy quilting always,

Yvonne
