Larkin Jean Van HornIf One is Good, Twenty is BetterJanuary 11th at 7PM

Larkin is the perfect teacher to bring a sense of creativity and excitement to the Guild. She was surprised to fi nd herself teaching in 1992, but found she loved the challenge and excitement of the classroom. As recognition for her art quilts and wearable art have grown, she has been a stimulating and unselfi sh guide to hundreds of fabric and fi ber fanatics in the Pacifi c Northwest.

Larkin makes garments, art quilts, bead embroidery, and art for the church that ema-nate from her bold imagination, her love for the vast array of textile products from around the world, and her strong sense of drama.

Her art is truly that of the Pacifi c Northwest, and has been displayed and won honors both regionally and nationally. In 2000, Larkin was invited to participate in the fi nal Fairfi eld Fashion Show, as well as the fi rst two shows after sponsorship was taken up by Bernina and was given the Judges’ Award of Merit in 2002.

The title of her lecture is something she heard during her childhood. It was her mother’s theory about shoes. If you fi nd a pair that fi ts, buy them in every color (and two pair of black). It’s also came to be her philosophy about clothing. If you only have one vest and wear it to every occasion, pretty soon it becomes like wallpaper and people stop seeing it. It also will wear out. So, rather than make one, make a bunch! Variety fi lls our eyes with color and pattern, and our minds with activity. So, making wearable art is actually good for your health! She will bring both slides and a stack of garments, and will borrow some guild members to serve as models.

Larkn is looking forward to her visit with our guild. It has been many years since she was in Glendale and she is delighted by this chance to get reacquainted.

Dinner with the Speaker:4:30PM Wednesday, January 11th @ Tony Roma’s Restaurant at 126 N. Maryland, Glendale. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to meet Larkin Jean Van Horn, before her trunk show.

PRESIDENT’S MES SAGE

Best wishes for a very Happy New Year!

Let’s make 2006 the “Year of the Quilts.” That means you can work hard on getting your projects com-pleted and then you can start some new ones as well!

We all certainly had fun at the Holi-day Potluck. We kept putting up more and more tables and then the transformation once decorated was unbelievable. One comment that I heard was that members certainly went over-board in having “tons” of food to eat for the Party. Other comments were that “it was fun to sit with people that you did not real-ly know and get to know them bet-ter; next time we see one another we will know a name for that face so a special greeting can be given. It was one of those -- A great time was had by all! The winning table decorations were so unusual. What a lot of effort went into each of the groups who decorated a table. Thanks for all of your creativity.

Looking forward to the upcoming January program with the celebra-tion of our 24th Guild year. We will be honoring those who are responsi-

ble for getting our great Guild start-ed, Charter Members, and, in addi-tion, keep an interest in our strong programs and membership activi-ties. We also want to recognize the Honorary Life Members who have, over a long period of time, given of their time and effort to major and minor activities, some behind the scenes and others more out in front. Of course, Larkin Van Horn will be a most interesting speaker. Have you reviewed her quilts on our website, they are very inter-esting. Her wonderful Beadwork for Fabric Artists workshop should be a learning experience to most of us. Just looking at the beadwork on the on-line sample speaks wonders of what she will share with you. Don’t miss this monthly program!

It doesn’t seem possible, but we are just around the corner from the 2006 Quilt Show. We will begin collecting names for the volunteer activities so think ahead to those that you are especially interested in being a part of. Volunteering is an important aspect of the Show; this process allows the Show to happen since this is how we have all of the areas covered. In addi-tion, the members get to have fi rst

hand information about what is go-ing on at the Show and what classes are looking good and what vendors have the best “stuff.” Also, don’t for-get to enter your quilt or wearable art in the Show. Quilt acquisition members will be taking photographs of your quilts in January – before the deadline for submitting a quilt for the Show. The wearable acquisition deadline is not until February, but the quilts are needed early.

Don’t forget to put your suggestions and ideas into the “Suggestion Box” at the Membership table. Each time a suggestion is presented it will be reviewed at the next Board meeting. Let all of the Board members know your wishes and recommendations.

By now you have had the opportu-nity to enjoy your holiday celebra-tions and we trust that they were fi lled with fun, frolic, enthusiasm, and most importantly love for your family.

Wishing you a very Happy New Year! I look forward to seeing you in Janu-ary!

Ruth

Beads! Beads! Beads! They are way too much fun to play with and highly addictive! They add texture, dimension, and sparkle to embroidery, quilt-ing, wearables, and jewelry. We’ll explore a variety of ways to attach beads to fabric and then the possibilities are limited only by your imagination. If you’ve never tried working with beads, or you just want some new ideas to play with, please join us for an exciting introduction to the world of bead-ing.

This course covers all the basics of bead embroidery, as well as some edge stitching, fringe, and design considerations. Add brilliance, sparkle and pi-zazz to your quilts and wearables. Larkin’s class will stimulate the creativity of each student. Since each student brings different experiences to their work, they will finish the class with pieces that are uniquely their own. Lar-kin will share her unique perspective and techniques, as well as encourage individual expression and exploration. This is Larkin’s first book that has received an excellent response by readers. www.larkinart.com

SUPPLIES- Pair of scissors- Bright light like an Ott light- One project that you are considering beading if you want help brainstoring (only one per student)- Cameras. Larkin allows students to take pictures of her work.

FEBRUARY WORKSHOPTammie Bowser - Mosaic Quilts

Tammie Bowser has been sewing since she was 4 years old. She started out sewing clothings and after graduating from The Fashion Insitute of Design and Merchandising, she chose a career in the fashion industry. Her 17 year ca-reer had become difficult and unenjoyable so she prayed for an idea that could lead to a new career. Shortly after that, she woke up with the exciting idea for Quilted Photography. Her idea was to use very ordinary cotton prints to make extraordinary photographc photos and portraits. Visit Tammie’s website at www.mosaicquilt.com.

NEW MEM BERSHAPPY BIRTH DAY!

MEMBERSHIP

MINI GROUPSStash Builders STASH BUILDERS fi rst met in late 1998. The friendship group is comprised of Virginia Barrett, Pat Doody, Kathy Flint, Susan Lu-cas, Vicki Pacifi co, Barbara Weitekamp and Michelle Willumsen. Since each member?s interests and quilting techniques are quite varied, many ideas have been shared and quilting problems solved. We try to expand our quilting knowlede through block ex-changes, a round robin project and various technique challenges. We also enjoy each other’s company when traveling to quilt shows and quilt shops. Some of our members recently attended an out-of-town retreat.

SUNSHINE and SHADOWSOur hearts and prayers go out to Mary Beth Kyle who lost her Father and to Diane Sullivan who lost her Mother and also to Mercy Garcia whose husband has recently passed away. Also, our prayers for a

speedy recovery go to Barbara Weitekamp who is in the hospital with pneumonia.

SUGGESTION BOX - November 2006Question: When are we going to be able to receive newsletters by email, which was discussed earlier this year? Also, my newsletter comes really late and sometimes not in time for the meeting.

Answer from the Executive Board: The newsletter is generally available by email 10 days after the Guild General meeting. Just go to our website www.GlendaleQuiltGuild.org/ and print a copy or just read on-line. Second part of the question is that the newsletter was coming out late because articles were submitted late to editor.

Hope this helps and keep those suggestions coming!!!
