“Threads of Life”

We recently got word that the 2019 quilt from Donate Life Northwest will be displayed at our show! Created by people touched by organ, eye, and tissue donations, the quilt provides an avenue for healing, gratitude, and inspiration.

Local connections include blocks made by Carroll and Grump E. Stratton, Patti Page, and Bee Smith. OCQG members Twy Hoch, Rose Shaw, Heidi Ware, and Elizabeth Wood also assisted in its creation. Be sure to stop by the quilt (in the large gym, northwest corner) to admire it and to read the messages in the explanatory book that accompanies the quilt.

Do Be Square!

We use a device called The Square to process debits and charges. If you’ve volunteered for a site that accepts money, it would be a good idea to get training or a refresher on how to use it. (It’s not complicated!) Nan Scott and Shari Stewart will provide that training on Thursday, August 1, (setup day), about 3:30. Shari will be in the boutique and Nan will be at the guild merchandising/small quilt auction location in the big gym. Be there to “Be Square”!

Selecting Your Sponsored Ribbon Quilt

If you’ve signed up to sponsor a ribbon, the time slot to choose your quilt is from 1:00-3:00 on Thursday, August 1. Find Teecia Cornelius and her stack of ribbons, then choose your favored quilt, fill out the form she’ll give you, and get it back to her before 3 p.m. so that we can list the winners in the program insert. (That’s an absolute deadline so the insert can be printed by Friday morning in time for the show.)

Parking!

Try to park as far away from the Recreation Center as is feasible for your situation. (There’s a City of Newport parking lot on the corner of Ninth Street and Hurbert, across from LaRoca Restaurant. It’s only two blocks away from the Rec Center. There’s also additional parking on the street just east of the Rec Center.)

Timeline Quilt Show

Do read the quilt show timeline that’s in this edition of our blog. Note the times that are important for you to know and to remember . . .

See you at the show,

Potluck Dishes Needed for Volunteers

Please Bring Dishes on Thursday Morning at 9:00 to the Rec Center Kitchen

Fellow quilters, this is your gentle reminder that Thursday, July 31, 2019 is the potluck for the Quilt Show. We need all manner of contributions including appetizers, the ever popular casserole, salads, a quiche or two, sandwiches, delicious meatballs, cheese, crackers, and desserts. There will be a lot of volunteers, guild members, vendors, and rec center employees working their tails off for us and we need to feed them our best. So dust off your favorite recipes, or experiment on a new one, and bring your contribution on Thursday morning at 9:00 a.m. If you want your dishes back, please be sure to label them. And speaking of labelling, let’s remember that some of us eat gluten free, are lactose intolerant, and cannot eat nuts. So please label your contribution accordingly. Thanks so much to all of you for all you do!

Small Quilt Auction

One of our favorite features at our annual quilt show is the Small Quilt Auction. This provides the public the opportunity to bid on and purchase their favorite small quilts. Half of the proceeds will be awarded to a charity randomly selected from the suggestions put forward by the quilters who participated by making and donating the quilts. This year, the drawing was made by John Raudsep, whose late wife, Rosalie, was a member of the guild. The charity to receive our gift will be the Lincoln County Food Share. Thanks to all who participated in this endeavor.

Lori also asked Jean what Cindy McEntee was up to these days! Just scroll down to the photo of our raffle quilt to get to the story.

August Colors: Purple & Green

Finishing School

Finishing School will be meeting on August 22 from 10 to 4 at the Carriage Hose at the Lincoln County Historical Museum at 545 SW 9th St, Newport. It is a great time to work on a project without being interrupted. You may bring your machine or hand work we will have an iron there for you to use. You may come at any time and stay as long as you like. Bring a sack lunch or go out what ever you would rather do. It is also a great way to get to know other guild members and get help on a project that you need advice on. Fun time is had by all.

I received this next item from my niece and not only did it bring a smile to my face but to others I have shared it with

I have come to the conclusion that buying quilt supplies and actually using them are two separate hobbies!
