Quilters' Sew-Ciety News Quilters’ Sew-ciety News April 2014, No. 430 Quilters’ Sew-ciety was founded in 1977, and provides a means for quilters to exchange ideas, further the art of quilt making and promotes the joys of quilting. "Browse our Quilters Sew-ciety web site at http://www.qsrochester.org for the latest Quilt Show information, Lotto Blocks, newsletters, and more. Now see us at www.facebook.com/QuiltersSewCiety. Quilter’s Sew-ciety Newsletter April 7 at 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm - Maxine Rosenthal; Maxine Rosenthal will teach a class on "Cubes, Hollow, and Otherwise" on Sunday April 6. Maxine said this class is suitable for beginner to advanced quilters. "This is like any other magic - once you know the trick, it is easy. These cubes are all straight seams." Registration forms will be available at March meetings as well as the web site. Everyone enjoys seeing the quilts our members have made. This year we are having a "Show and Tell" theme for each month. You are always welcome to show other quilts during show and tell. The themes for the rest of the year will be: April - Spring/Easter May - Flowers June - Red/White/Blue July - Fashion Show Quilters’ Sew-ciety News March 2014 1 August - Sun or yellow September - Kids October - Halloween November - Fall/Autumn December - UFOs and holiday quilts Diane Hellie and Cindy Horan (See the full schedule at the end of the newsletter) Ponderings of the President: I have been thinking about this winter and have to say that by in large I have loved it. I know, I'm one of the 'weird' ones. I get out and walk my dog usually twice each day, no matter the temperature. Please do not call PETA on me, my faithful, energetic Izzy whines if we don't get out there! There are many things I've loved about this winter; the sun has been out more than it has not, fresh snow always looks clean and fluffy, and I get guilt-free time in my studio to quilt! On snow days no one expects you to go anywhere or do anything...see, it's just all how you look at it! That being said, I am ready for the ice to go away and I'm not looking forward to the mud that will surely come as all of this thaws. Before I close, I wanted to be sure that all of you knew that the two new, no cost, programs that have been developed; Quilt Mentors and the QS Sew-in/Mini-Retreats are open to all quilters, members or not! It is our way of inviting those who have an interest in quilting to get know us QS members and maybe in the future join us for our monthly meetings. So if you know other quilters who are not QS members, invite them to these events - we'd love to meet them! Happy Quilting!

Respectfully submitted by: Pat Dillard, Acting Day Secretary Quilter's Sew-ciety Evening Meeting Minutes: The March 3, 2014, evening meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. by Mary Anderson at Bethany United Methodist Church.

Program: By Enid Weichselbaum, member of our Quilters' Sew-ciety since 2002. Enid shared with us three of her award-winning techniques for embellishing quilts: (1) Using scrapbooking letter stickers for text on quilts. (2) Using (Elmer's blue gel, washable) glue as resist in creating designs on fabric. (3) Making and using silk screens with organza and iron-on vinyl. Each method was explained in step-by-step demonstration and accompanied with examples so attendees had close-up of the details. She also shared her technique for embellishing quilts with organza flowers; she "cuts" the petals from the organza, using a woodburning tool, which seals edges as design is cut out. Information about resources for materials to create these embellishments was also provided by Enid. Introductions: New members - Jean Griebel, Becky Siems and Cobi Wangen. Door Prize, a Quilting Chick bag, to Pat Ferguson. Adjournment: Motion by Darlene Peterson, second by Linda Edd. Respectfully submitted by Romayne Thompson, pro tem Evening Secretary.

  • Te Oro O Te Ao the Resounding of the World
    Te Oro o te Ao The Resounding of the World Rachel Mary Shearer 2018 An exegesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Art and Design 1 2 ABSTRACT criteria of ihi—in this context, the intrinsic power of an event that draws a re- sponse from an audience, along with wehi—the reaction from an audience to this intrinsic power, and wana—the aura that occurs during a performance that encompasses both performer and audience, contribute to a series of sound events that aim at evocation or affect rather than interpretable narratives, stories or closed meanings. The final outcome of this research is realised as a sound installation, an exegesis and a 12” vinyl LP. Together these sound practices form a research-led practice document that demonstrates how and why listening to the earth matters, and pro- poses a multi-knowledge framework for understanding sound, space and environ- ment. Nō reira And so Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa Greetings, greetings, greetings to us all Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa Greetings, greetings, greetings to us all This practice-led PhD is a situated Pacific response to international critical dia- logues around materiality in the production and analysis of sonic arts. At the core of this project is the problem of what happens when questions asked in contexts of Pākehā knowledge frameworks are also asked within Māori knowledge frameworks. I trace personal genealogical links to Te Aitanga ā Māhaki, Rongowhakaata and Ngāti Kahungunu iwi.

  • By Samantha Markowitz from the 1700S to Project Runway
    2015 By Samantha Markowitz From the 1700s to Project Runway Although the sewing machine was invented back in the 1700s, it still is extremely important in fashion today. Not only are sewing machines currently used in factories by clothing companies to produce garments, but also television shows like Project Runway exist in which viewers can appreciate how clothing is made. The sewing machine is truly a revolutionary invention, and one that was highlighted at many World's Fairs. In this guide, I will take you through the history of the machine; famous sewing machine companies and their exhibits at World's Fairs; complementary inventions; and finally, what sewing machines are like today. 2 From the Beginning... 1830 In 1755, Charles Weisenthal, a German immigrant, patented a needle to use in mechanical sewing. Then in 1790, Thomas Saint patented the idea of the first “sewing machine”: a machine that can poke a hole in leather to allow a needle to pass through. In 1818, the sewing machine Barthelemy Thimonnier finally came to America as John Adams Doge and John Knowles created a 1844 device that could sew a short length of stitching In 1830, on material. Barthelemy T h i m o n n i e r patented a wooden machine with a barbed Elias Howe n e e d l e o r i g i n a l l y designed for embroidery, but then used it for sewing. In 1844, 1851 Englishman John Fisher invented a machine designed for lace production, and Massachusetts farmer Elias Howe completed a prototype of a sewing machine.
