LNCQ has been invited to participate in the Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival on August 22nd and 23rd, 2009. We have graciously been given 5 booth spaces to promote LNCQ. We are excited to have this platform to showcase our member’s projects. We are also planning on having a retail booth, to sell items to the public. We are asking a couple things from YOU, our LNCQ member. Show/Display: Please allow us to display one or more items you have made. Our display will NOT be a judged show, but a friendly display of what members have done. This will promote the art of quilting and show what LNCQ is about. Our contact person to coordinate the LNCQ quilt display/show is Eileen Maelzer click here or (970) 663-1418. Please contact her with any questions you may have. Sale Items: Patterns and instructions for the two items we have committed to sale. One is a hot dog pillow case, click here and the other is a zippered bag, click here for the instructions. We are asking for completed projects from the members. Please feel free to make as many as you’d like. For questions please contact Patti Smith click here or call Patti at (970) 225-2101. Volunteers: On both August 22nd and 23rd we will need volunteers for the following areas: the sale booth, “white glove” helpers with the quilt display, the promotional table to give out material about LNCQ, and helpers to take in the quilts/projects. Please join us in some way to promote LNCQ. June 1, 2009 Terrie Sandelin
 Designs and makes lovely miniature quilts.
Terrie Sandelin is our speaker for the June 1 meeting. She has been a member of LNCQ for many years – actually from the very beginning. After quilting for many years and acquiring many UFO’s she became interested in miniature quilts – these can be finished in a just a day.
She has developed a new twist on a technique learned from Anita Grossman Soloman’s Fold and Sew technique. She will have a trunk show (actually a small suitcase) and show us a bit about the technique. Terrie has written a book entitled Miniatures in Minutes that is getting rave reviews.
The web site below goes to the book and review if there is more that you would like to add.
I do not know Terrie – and any thing personal would be nice to add to this. http://www.ctpub.com/productdetails.cfm?PC=1263.

What thread do you piece with and what thread(s) do you quilt with and why are they different? Carrie’s masters study is on quilting thread…she has spent 4 years testing and studying 56 different threads to find out the answer to these questions for all the home sewing machine quilters out there. Come learn about all threads you know and maybe some that you don’t know while Carrie shares all the pertinent information from her study with you.
