May 11, 2016 — Lauren Kingsland: Design Your Day: The Kolam QuiltLauren Kingsland will talk about the Kolam Quilt, which is a South Indian con-templative design, traditionally drawn on the ground each morning in rice flour. Lauren’s presentation is an extensive show and tell of her quilts, based on Kolam designs as her creative starting point.

May 18, 2016 — Guided Tour at the Textile Museum: Stories of Migration: Contemporary Artists Interpret Diaspora (SAQA- juried exhibition) Artists from around the world submitted works giving visual voice to the timely topic of diaspora.This field trip is currently full. If you register now, you will be put on a wait list and notified if space be-comes available.

June 8, 2016 — Field Trip to the Nation-al Museum of the American Coverlet and Mary’s Quilt Shop, Bedford, PA. This day-trip (8:45 a.m.- 6:00 p.m.) will depart from and return to the North Chevy Chase Christian Church. After a guided tour of the museum, the bus will take us to downtown Bedford, where we will be able to explore some very interesting shops and have lunch. There is also another wonderful quilt shop in town, Unique Stitches Quilt Shop,

There has been concern expressed about the length of our April meeting. We cov-ered a lot of guild information and saw a lot of our member’s beautiful work before our lecture began. NCCC has a lot going on over the next few months! I would like our membership to know that our speakers are told that there will be a business meeting, show and tell, a break, and then they will speak. They know and expect this and it is common at most guild meetings at which they lecture. An effort will be made to shorten up our business at our next meetings. Please do your part by reading through this newsletter and noting the dates and sign up needed for the events in which you would like to participate. Thank you for your concerns.

This technique is especially appealing to those who love the grace and beauty of curved designs, but feel these proj-ects are too difficult to construct with conventional methods.

Challenge QuiltsThe challenge quilt portion of the NeedleChasers’ 2016 October quilt show is hav-ing a great run at local area galleries. Opening now is the Fiber Arts Show at the Friendship Gallery at Friendship Heights Village Center at 4433 South Park Avenue, Chevy Chase, MD. The show will run from May 2 until June 4 (reception on May 15 from 11:30 - 1:30). We have hung many of our quilts that were at the Penn Place Gallery and we are welcoming several new quilts, so this is a show not to miss. You can also see work from the G Street Doll Club and the work of felt artist Keira An. If you have not made a challenge quilt yet and would still like to, it is not too late. Our upcoming 2016 October show will have a display of all the challenge quilts. Just make a quilt interpreting the theme “Quilting Green: Traditions Grow in New Directions”. Your quilt could be inspired by ideas of gardening, eating healthy, reuse of materials, recycling, a clean Chesapeake Bay, a multicolored flower garden, environmentally cleaner power, an emotion, or whatever stimulates you as you consider the theme. Your entry can be a realistic image or an abstract interpretation. You can use your favorite techniques or try a totally new (for you) direction. Use your imagination! The size of the item is limited to a perimeter of no more than 100 inches.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either of us: Dianne Wolman, 301-718-8438, diannewolman@yahoo.com Kim Kellman, 301-493-8783, kimberlykellman@gmail.com

Opportunity Tickets

Reminder

You or someone you know could be the winner of the mag-nificent “Community Garden” quilt.All members are ex-pected to sell a mini-mum of five tickets at $5 each ticket.If you haven’t done so already, see me for your packet of tickets. Return the ticket money and filled in ticket stubs to me, as soon as possible.There will be a shop-ping gift certificate for the person who sells the most tickets.

Quilt Show AdsThe advertisers in our quilt show program just about pay for the program and signs we purchase to direct people to our quilt show. This money from ads allows us to have a higher profit margin on our show. If we get $1000 in ads we save $1000 on printing the program, so instead of spending money we make money and the net is $2000 profit. Great, right? You, too, can help with this. You can lead us to new advertisers. A number of advertisers do so to sponsor, support, or pay back individual members. Or you can take out an ad for someone you want to pay back. Do you have a long arm quilter whose work you love? Maybe you have a restaurant you frequently patronize or a hairdresser who is looking to add to their client list. Do you know a crafts person who has unique works of art? If you have a friend or acquaintance who may be interested in advertising, you can approach her/him with the materials we gave out at the April meeting and just ask if they are interested. Be sure also to give out a quilt show card with the materials. If you are uncomfortable doing this please call me (301 237 1796) or email me (margestem-bel@gmail.com) the name, phone, and address, and I will make a personal call. Or if you have given out this information, you can ask me or co-chair Mary Murray to follow up, call or email. A lot of advertisers want some time to read through the materials and go for it when we make the follow-up call. Please email me if you need an electronic copy. The only color ad which is unsold is the inside front cover. Checks should be made out to NeedleChasers of Chevy Chase. People are more interested in ads during May as they are available at a reduced rate until June 1! So even though the quilt show seems like it is a long way off, your friends and acquaintances will want to get in during the month of May for the reduced rates. Do this as early as possible as we may need to follow up. Ads cannot be accepted after early August. Many businesses do not advertise, but then you can always request a gift certificate. Remember to let people know that if they take an ad or give a gift certificate we put their name as a sponsor on our website with links to their business for at least 18 months and they are listed in our program.Again please think about friends who may benefit by taking an ad in our quilt show program. Call them or give us their information to follow up. Marge Stembel

Pamela ZurerI grew up in Berkeley, California, during the era of the Free Speech Movement of the '60s—an exciting time. I came east to go to college, anxious as a rebellious teenager to get away from my parents. I met my husband Burt in chemistry lab my freshman year. We were working back to back at first, but somehow he finagled things so that by the second semester we were lab partners. After we married we lived in Philadelphia, where he worked for the electric company and went to law school at night while I worked as a research chemist in the pharmaceutical industry. When he graduated we started hunting for somewhere to move where he could find work as a lawyer and I could go to grad school. We ended up in Baltimore: I studied at Johns Hopkins and he commuted to DC. Once I had my Ph.D. I began working in DC as a science jour-nalist for the American Chemical Society. We moved to Silver Spring when our daughter Rachel was born so our commutes wouldn't be so long. I don't think we'll be moving any further down the East Coast. Our next move likely will be to Colorado where our daughter and son-in-law live, but not any time soon. My interest in quilting was piqued about 25 years ago when I saw the superb work of my dear friend June Bronfen-brenner, who had been in the same lab as me at Hopkins. (By coincidence, June has just joined NCCC.) Sometime later, my first foray into quilting was a Quilt-in-a-Day class at G Street. I still use the Trip Around the World lap quilt I made there as a throw on my couch. These days, I like to use traditional blocks in unconventional ways, and though I'm definitely not an art quilter, I like to design my own quilts. I'm more and more drawn to modern quilting. I like batiks and hand-dyes and bold prints. To be honest, however, I haven't done much quilting in the past year, instead making things--purses, bags, totes, baskets, etc--that end up as gifts for other people. With the Quilt Show coming up, I need to get moving on some ideas I have!

Sue Hannan, founder of NeedleChasers, turns 99 years old!On May 4, 2016, our founder, friend and fellow quilter, Mary Sue Hannan, will cel-ebrate her 99th birthday. We all will raise a glass or a threaded needle to her.

Sue, a native Washingtonian and longtime resident of Chevy Chase, took her first quilting class in 1974, from well-known quilt teacher Elly Sienkiewicz. A few years later, Sue met Hazel Carter, founder of the Quilter’s Unlimited guild of Northern Virginia. In 1978, Sue attended the First Continental Quilt Congress in Arlington, VA, where she met quilters from all over the United States. This was in the very beginning of the great American quilt revival and the 1976 Bicentennial celebration. Sue Hannan was there during this very exciting time in our quilting history.

The first meeting of Needle Chasers was held in Sue’s living room in 1978. Meet-ings were held on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, the same as today.

On the 4th Wednesday, there was an informal “bee” always held at Sue’s home on Nebraska Avenue. Sue hung a quilt over her front railing so her house could be spotted easily.

In addition to those mentioned above, Sue was a personal friend of so many of the luminaries in the quilting world: Jinny Beyer, Jean Ray Laury, Cuesta Benberry, Barbara Brackman and many more. Sue knows everybody and her sister in the quilt world. And they all know her. In 1987, a quilt made by Sue’s many friends in honor of her 70th birthday was featured on the cover of Quilters Newsletter Magazine. Whenev-er I met a quilter in the area, the first question was always, “Do you know Sue Hannan?” And I was happy and proud to say that I did.

Sue was the first quilter I met when I moved to Washington in 1988. Her name was listed as the contact person for the NeedleChasers of Chevy Chase. I called her up and she had two things to say: “Have you been to G Street?” and “Come to a NeedleChas-ers meeting!”

That is Sue, ever welcoming and inclusive, and always ready to promote quilting to everyone and anyone. What began as an informal group of a few quilters in Sue’s living room is now a thriving and successful quilt guild with over a hundred members. We are so lucky to be part of this wonderful guild founded by a wonderful lady. Thank you to Sue and Happy Birthday!

Sewing  with  Laminated  Cotton    

Laminated  cotton,  a   fun  and  colorful   fabric,  has  been  updated  and  offers  a  sewer  many  options.  Most  shops  offering  this   fabric  may  also  have  a  range  of   patterns   for   using   it,   ranging   from   rain   gear   to   totes   to   picnic   blankets.  Knowing  how   to  work  with   this   specialty   fabric   requires   a  bit   of   a   learning  curve.  Here  is  help  to  glide  through  the  process.  

Laminated   cotton   comes   in   a   range   of   widths,   depending   on   the   manu-­‐facturer,  usually  44"   to  58"  wide.  Most   laminated  cotton  drapes  nicely  and  some  are  a  bit  stiffer  than  others.  Select  a  sewing  pattern  that  has  simple  lines,  and  avoid  projects  with  too  much  shaping,  especially  when  making  raingear.  An  insulated  tote  is  a  good  starter  project  to  get  a  feel  for  this  fabric.  

Cutting  &   prepping   fabric:   Cutting  pattern  pieces   is   a  breeze,   as   the  fabric  handles  just  like  regular  cotton.  For  large  pieces  use  weights  to  hold  down  the  pattern  pieces  when  cutting.  

Wherever   you   insert   a   pin,   you'll   leave   a   tiny   hole.   To   prep   your   layers,  especially  for  an  insulated  tote,  you’ll  need  something  to  keep  everything  in  place.  Binding  clips  or  clothespins  work  great.  They  do  not  leave  marks  and  are  easy  to  remove.  The  laminate  keeps  the  cotton  from  raveling,  so  there  is  no  need  to  finish  the  edges.  

Interfacing:   Do   not   use   fusible   interfacing   with   laminated   cotton.  Between  the  heat  of  the  iron  and  the  moisture  that  it  produces,  the  fabric  will   develop   wrinkles   that   will   not   come   out.   If   your   pattern   calls   for  interfacing,  use  the  non-­‐fusible  type.  

Ironing:  Do  not  get   your   iron  near   this   stuff!   It  will  make  a  mess  of   the  fabric   and   your   iron.   If   you   absolutely   must   get   out   a   wrinkle,   use   a  hairdryer  on  a  LOW  setting  and  slowly  move  it  back  and  forth  over  (not  on)  the  fabric.  

Needles  &  Thread:  Suggested  needle  size  is  a  12  or  14  sharp,  or  a  Microtex  needle,  so  the  holes  will  be  less  visible.   A   40   or   50   weight   thread   is   recommended,   and   cotton   or   poly   thread   works   for   most   projects.  Remember,  every  stitch  leaves  a  hole...forever!  

Sewing:   Increase   the   stitch   length.   Smaller   stitches  stress   the   fabric   and   weaken   the   seams.   Try   a   3-­‐4mm  stitch   length.  A   regular  machine   foot  has  a   tendency   to  cause  the   laminate  to  bunch.  Switch  to  a  Teflon   foot  so  the   fabric   things   will   more   smoothly.   You   may   find   it  necessary   to  hold  both  ends  of   the   fabric   layers   taut  as  you   sew   to   eliminate   shifting.   And,   slow   it   down   —   a  slow  and  even  pace  will  help  the  fabric  glide  without  any  nasty  puckers.
