MEETING MINUTES
OCTOBER 8, 2013
Delicate Stitchers Guild met at the Grand Center at 6:30 p.m.
President Mary Hofhine called the meeting to order at 7 p.m. There
were 21 people present.
Lou reviewed the Studio Color Wheel Color Key by Joen Wolfrom
which is available from Amazon. The review was an excellent
addition to our continuing color study.
Pat Ferguson discussed our color of the month: Analogous Colors,
which are three colors with one primary color in common; can be
expanded to contain more colors, but must always have a primary
color in common. You can find more information about analogous
colors at Pinterest.com. From the book Color Play Pat showed us
her samples.
Marion’s lesson was on Ergonomic Sewing. The first priority is
your chair. It must be comfortable, preferably on wheels and that
your feet are flat on the floor at a 90 degree angle. The second
priority is your sewing table. Again, a 90 degree angle at your
elbows is most comfy. Could be a little lower, but not higher.
Your work table height should also be a 90 degree angle – can be 2
to 5 inches above or below. If you become uncomfortable stop and
do some stretching exercises.
Old Business:
Mary reminded everyone that Utah State Guild’s annual Quilt Fest
was at the Zermot in Midway this week.
Also, that Bonnie’s class on appliqué is on Saturday, October 19th
at the Grand Center.
UFO – Sandy Davey reported that it was No. 7 this month.
Marion’s quilt from quilt show and Sandy’s snap bag. Patty
finished hers. No. 9 is the next UFO project.
Retreat November 8, 9 and 10 at Pack Creek. There will be a
mystery quilt. Cost is $30.00 per person. Please sign up for meals.
Lou announced that she is retiring as of October 24th.
Mary’s mug award went to Lou for always being on the forefront
of what we needs to be done; she quilts our charity quilts; always
has something to contribute; and convinced Mary to join the guild
on a river trip.
New Business: Audrey suggested having a sewing room tour – around five people
show their sewing rooms so we can get ideas as how to set-up
ergonomically, how their store their “stash”, etc. Perhaps in the
Spring on a Saturday.

SCORPIO
(October 24 to November 22)
Element: Water
Color: Dark Red
Spiritual: Love
Physical: Hot/Energy
Emotional: Strength
Scorpio is a complicated sign with boundless passion, be it for good or evil. Their eyes say more than words, and are often their most powerful (and mysterious) feature. These quilters aren’t cowed by a challenge, and are bound and determined to make it work, even if they have to bide their time in the search for perfection.
DARK RED and black are the colors for sociable Scorpio. Red symbolizes fierce passion, and the black adds magnetic sexiness. Not afraid of the dark side, there is a richness present as a reward for those who brave the depths.
Betty Cosio-Avalos – October 24th Patty Larson – Nov. 6th
Darlene Nelson – Nov. 8th Laura Senter – Nov 8th Carol Unruh – Nov 9th

Sandy Davey has stepped up and offered a new UFO challenge for the next 10 months. See August Newsletter for
complete details.
Double Bonus points are rewarded for projects completed by the next meeting following the month the number is
drawn. If you miss the bonus deadline, don’t let that stop you from completing your projects because ANY
completed project is worth points! You can also concentrate on finishing a number not yet drawn and it might be
done in time for the Double bonus!
Numbers Drawn So Far: July - August # 8; August - September # 5; September - October # 7; October –
November # 9;
Just do it!
Laura Senter won the 2 ½ inch strips.
Show and Tell: Jolly showed her split 9 patch baby quilt, an
appliquéd circle quilt – some machine quilting in the center and
the rest hand quilted. A friend found a Sun Bonnet Sue quilt top
at a yard sale that she gave her – using hand turn appliqué.
Audrey showed a t-shirt quilt she made in pinks and greens for
her first born child and it took her 6 years to complete. This was
UFO #8. Sue showed a quilt that was not finished – started in
1977 – lace doilies on a quilt. Kathy showed a modified Dresden
quilt her cousin sent – she is doing it by hand so there is a lot of
sitting and sewing. Betsy showed a winter quilt with owls for her
granddaughter. Gail is working on a knitted shawl with yarn that
she also spun. Sondra is knitting a sock. Tommye showed the
Bargello Heart quilt she made at Claudia’s class in June for her
Granddaughter Emily, and for her Grandson Eric, a Big Cat quilt
which he help pick out all the fabric for. Marion showed the
dragon fly quilt that was made for Mahnaz by members of our
quilt guild – Marion made the center dragon fly and
members/friends of the guild made the smaller surrounding
blocks. It was gorgeous – Marion found the fabric at Savage
Spirit when they closed up. Pat Ferguson showed a modern
“organic” quilt made from a block of the month; a scrappy quilt
w/cowboy boots fabric which will be donated to Kids in Crisis; a
fun quilt with the alphabet in horizontal strips; and for “Project
Linus” crumb block strips purchased in a grab bag – the strips
run length wise w/blocks that look like half a log cabin – it was a
colorful fun quilt. Murine just finished a project from HMQS she
started two years ago – a beautiful crayon color press flower
quilt.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:40 p.m.
Respectfully Submitted, Judi Simon, Acting Secretary
A Treasure
Mildred Hatfield
It's more than a coverlet,
More than a spread,
This beautiful quilt
That graces my bed.
It's laughter and sorrow,
It's pleasure and pain,
It's small bits and pieces
Of sunshine and rain.
It's a bright panorama
Of scraps of my life-
It's moments of glory,
It's moments of strife.
It's a story I cherish
Of days that have been,
It's a door I can open
To live them again.
Yes, it's more than a cover,
This much-treasured quilt,
It's parts pieced together
Of the life I have built.

Sounds as though Quilt Fest was a great success. Plans are
being made for Quilt Fest 2014 which will be at the Davis
Conference Center in Layton. The theme Sew Many Pieces.
In our territory there is a new guild:
Quiltin’ Time Quilters are a new group from Monticello.
They held their first meeting in Sept., where they decided
what they would do for the year, who would teach etc. They
have a tumbling block class scheduled on Nov. 2. They will
also have a Sew What night each month.
Look at this great way to use up some fabric scraps!
And look at all the big smiles from the Canyon Country
Quilt Guild of Kanab at their October mini-retreat. The
ladies had a fun day outside with great company, the love of
quilting, wonderful food and an awesome view, plus a fun
games of Patchwork Bingo! The ladies are showing off their
Bingo cards which will be sashed and put together into one
or two charity quilts.
Another Pretty scrap quilt... Mardi Lessey,
the charity chairperson of the Holladay Chapter Quilters
Guild, presented 40 quilts to Mayor Kelvyn Cullimore Jr.,
Police Chief Robbie Russo and Fire Chief Mike Watson at a
recent council meeting.
