President’s Message

The purpose of our club is to share experiences, gain knowledge from members and experienced teachers, promote friendship, encourage the appreciation of the art of quilt making and participate in community service. Committees have been very hard at work all summer to make sure we fulfill this statement. Nick has been meeting and working with the Quilt Show Sub Committees and has everything under control but still needs everyone’s help to guarantee a successful quilt show. Be sure and sign up at the Ice Cream Social on Monday, September 12, 6:30pm to help in any way you can. The By-Laws Committee also met regularly and drafted a new set of by–laws representing the quilt club as we are operating now. We will be voting to adopt them at our regular September meeting. The Program Committee has done an outstanding job putting together a year of programs that should meet everyone’s needs from the beginner quilter to the more experienced quilter and everyone in-between. There is something for everyone! The New Member Committee is putting together a procedure to ensure that all new members feel welcome. This is an endeavor that we should all take seriously. We were all new to the club at one point and now we need to make new members feel welcome and want to join.

See you all at the Ice Cream Social Sandy Bubel, President

Welcoming Team – Penny Schumacher

The IQC is committed not only to welcoming new members but to incorporating them into the club. We have a wonderful, lively group, but as in any club, it is hard for new members to remember names and faces and learn how they can become active members. New members will have a yellow ribbon attached to their name tags for their first two years. Please make it a point to welcome them, ask them to join in the meetings and activities. The newly formed welcoming committee will assign “Quilting Buddies” to each new member. The Quilting buddies will act as a “Go To” person for each new member and will have blue ribbons attached to their name tags. We will also have orientation meetings throughout the year to help new members learn more about the club. If you are interested in becoming a Quilting Buddy, please call Penny at 490-2046.

Refreshments – Melissa Manney

The Best Tips for Sewing Batiks 1 Don't bother to Best Press or starch these...our batiks press great 2 Consider NOT using an iron when piecing. Batiks have a great crease-ability. 3 The best needle for good batiks....Microtex 70 or 75 (best penetration and sharpest stitch)

4 Don't over-think the contrast or the color...some muddy combos work best for blending Batiks are your best fabrics to put in unlikely color combos...put them together and step away and look at it AFTER you

have sewn them together
