President’s Message Shannon P. Happy September!! As someone who has started school in August or September for the past 34-35 years, I always look forward to the school supply aisles at the local big box stores. I LOVE school supplies! I tend to collect them like I do fabric. I've gotten better at limiting my purchases for school, but not so much with fabric. So as this school year rolls around, go to the local shops and see what's new, buy a new book, try a new pattern you never thought you would, sign up for a class, learn a new technique. Pretend school is starting for you too. Get the fever! Learn a new skill, then come show us your talent at guild Show and Tell!! Since I'm a school employee, my years tend to run from September to May rather than from January to December. So, have a great start to the "year"!!

Hospitality for the September 9th Guild Meeting Erin B. and Lindsey K. Jan S. and Mary Ann L. have volunteered to bring beverages and Corni Q., Kim M. and Kris L. have volunteered to bring snacks. If you find you are not able to bring what you volunteered to contribute, please call Erin B. or Lindsey K. The meeting begins at 6:45 pm. As always, please turn your cell phones off before the meeting.

Upcoming Guild Job Opportunities Kristin S. It is time to start thinking about upcoming guild jobs that will need filling in the next few months. Please consider how you can give your time and talents to the guild. Some jobs are short and sweet, some require a year’s commitment, but all are a wonderful way to get to know more guild members and have a lot of fun! We especially welcome newcomers to the guild to consider filling positions. There’s no better way to meet folks than diving right in! If you are interested in any of these positions you can contact Kristin S. or Shannon P.

Here are just some of the possibilities:

Newsletter Editor- I will be transitioning to the position of webmaster and creating a new website for the guild. This is a huge job and I would love to train a new newsletter editor soon so that the transition will be smooth and give me more time for website development. The new editor should be able to start training in October and the job will continue through 2014. A working knowledge of Microsoft Word is important for this position. Please contact Kristin S. for more information. Nominating Committee Budget Committee Christmas Party Committee Treasurer Mt Bachelor Quilters’ Guild September 2013 Newsletter 1 Programs Coordinator (1st Vice President) 2013 30th Anniversary MBQG Quilt Show Wrap-Up Susan M. THANK YOU to everyone who helped in any way to make our 30th Anniversary Quilt Show a success! Although we had to shut down a bit early again this year, we had many quilt admirers and shoppers while we were all set up. It was especially wonderful to see the “history table” for visitors to share and a beautiful display of quilts. Many commented on the variety of quilts that were displayed individually and from many special groups. It was an honor to help the guild celebrate 30 years with the 2013 Quilt Show in the Park! We are all set for 2014 on Saturday, August 16th---wouldn’t you just love to be the Quilt Show Chairperson/Committee? I’m sure Shannon would love to hear from one or two of you that would be willing to help the guild in this way, and I would be happy to help you get started in the planning!

Quilt Show Boutique Lora F., Marie J., Darlene P., Jane G., Karen K., or Mary Ann B. The grand total of sales for 2013 was $830.00. This included all handmade items and the beautiful doll clothes. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the 2013 Boutique. We could not have done it without your great work.

We will bring the unsold items to the September Guild meeting. We have unsold items that could be ‘great stocking stuffers’ for your family and friends. Please bring some cash for Christmas and/or birthday presents.

The committee wants to thank everyone who helped with the Boutique during the past two years. Committee members: Lora F., Darlene P., Jane G., Karen K., Marie J., and Mary Ann B.

2013 Raffle Quilt Winner Mary Ann B. Julianne Loving was the winner of our beautiful raffle quilt. On the day of the Quilt Show, she became a new member of the Guild. Julianne purchased and won with the last ticket sold. What a coincidence!

The total sales for the quilt were $2,087.00. Thank you to everyone who purchased tickets.

A big thank you to all who sold tickets during Shop Hop, Quilt Week, and the Mountain Meadows Quilt Show. You were a big help! Thank you, also, to Marie J. who donated a canopy to provide shade during the warm days of summer.

Community Food Drive- September 9th Guild Meeting Diana L. Please bring any canned food for September’s donation to the Food Pantry. We donate to Nativity Lutheran Church where we also do our weekly Community Quilting. They can buy items for the Food Pantry through the food bank or locally at a much lower price than discount stores or supermarkets. Any monetary donations go much further for the Food Pantry, but they appreciate and use all donations. Thank you for the support.

Community Quilts- Next Meeting September 11, 11-3 at Nativity Lutheran Church Jane D., Diana L., Bev P., Lora F., or Jean M. On August 22nd, we distributed 92 quilts to five agencies (Cascade Youth, Saving Grace, Ronald McDonald, Partners in Care, and The Kids Center). As usual, we were greeted with excitement and many thanks. For those of you making community quilts, we could use some more quilts for little boys in the future. Somehow we usually end up with more "girl" quilts, so we'd like you to think about smaller guys as well. We are also starting to save up some baby quilts for the Bend Sr High Teen Parent Program, so baby quilts are welcome. As you may know, we give quilts to this program once a year, in conjunction with their December holiday party.

Mt Bachelor Quilters’ Guild September 2013 Newsletter 2 COMING UP: Wednesday, September 11th--We are having a crazy stripping party! Several of us have saved up a whole lot of strips and we are planning a fun day of using them up--with your help. If you can come, we meet as usual at Nativity Lutheran Church (corner of SE Knott and Brosterhaus), from 11-3. Bring your lunch and sewing machine and supplies. You will be able to either work on a quilt by yourself, or work with others as a team. We will have patterns, or you can bring your own. If you have fabric strips you want to use up, bring them, too! Community quilts is a great way to get to know other Guild members. Please come if you're interested.

Our Guild Library Linda M. The September raffle book is Blanket Stitch Quilts, by Lynne Edwards. This book contains 12 stunning projects for simple stick-and-stitch appliqué. Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. New library book is Pretty Patchwork Gifts, by Helen Philipps. Books donated by members to the library: Pieced Borders, the Compete Resource, by Judy Martin & Marsha McCloskey; Scraps, Blocks & Quilts, by Judy Martin; and Karen K. Stone Quilts, by Karen K. Stone. There will be a selection of books for you to check out and you can return books previously checked out at the meeting. Thank you for your support of the Guild library.

Programs Kayla H. September- Joen Wolfrom will be here to present our program. Joen's work focuses on color and design. Check out more here: http://joenwolfrom.com/. We will also be revealing the winners of the Quilt Challenge and Viewer’s Choice awards from the Quilt Show.

October- Bill Fellows will be here from Cynthia's Sewing Center. The president picks a program each year and this year Shannon chose Bill to do a program on at home sewing machine maintenance. We all will get a few pointers to help us out. Come with lots of questions.

Workshops- Next Workshop September 9- Joen Wolfrom Linda G. The next scheduled guild workshop, “Creating a Scene with Pizzazz” with Joen Wolfrom, will be held on Monday, September 9th. We have 10 seats allocated to our guild. All 10 seats have been filled and paid for, and we have 2 people on the waiting list.

Watch for details on our first workshop of 2014! It will be held on January 13, 2014 and will be taught by our own Jill Monley. Jill will be teaching undulating flying geese techniques that she learned at a Gayle Garber workshop – remember “Royal Roost”? At this point, we are not planning on splitting seats with Mountain Meadow Quilt Guild as we expect that there will be lots of interest in the workshop and that we will be able to fill 20 seats.
