Florida Quilt Network - Newsletter #89
www.FloridaQuiltNetwork.com
September1, 2005
Quilting Friends,
Let’s save a tree
this month, shall we? Did you know that
everything in this newsletter is ALSO on my website? So instead of printing out this email, you can surf over to www.FloridaQuiltNetwork.com and
poke around looking for something to do this weekend or any time in the near
future, for that matter.
I know the
victims of Katrina are foremost on your mind this week. Please see the two articles after the
Calendar Of Events. Every quilter can
be a part of the solution.
Here’s a website you should check with often: http://www.quilt.com/Errata.html They list “errata” or corrections that have
been made to various books and magazines.
Good things to know before you start a new project out of a book.
I was surfing
away the other day and found this useful website: http://www.marcusbrothers.com/features/tip_archive.html They have collected lots of great quilting
tips in one place. Its almost too much
to read at one time.
If you are a LONG-ARM MACHINE QUILTER or a QUILT APPRAISER,
please let me know. I get emails and
calls all the time for referrals. If
you want, I can create a list on my website….free advertising for you!
As always, if your email address changes, please let me
know: subscribe@FloridaQuiltNetwork.com. Thanks

LATE BREAKING NEWS…JUST RECEIVED AT FQN HEADQUARTERS:
Can you get this
information out? I am hoping to send 1000 quilts to the devastated areas.
Our 4 hurricanes last year
were a small inconvenience compared to what the people in New Orleans and
Biloxi (and surrounding areas) are going through. They lost everything
and they have no where to go. I am hoping we can send some small comfort
to the children and the elderly that must feel an even greater loss.
I have a
challenge to all quilters
I am asking every quilter to
make at least one small quilt (minimum size 36x45) by September
24th. It can be tied or quilted. Almost everyone has cheater
quilt / panels in their stash...what a way to use them up, or check out this
website for a great suggestion on small quilts: http://kcprojectlinus.home.att.net/_qkquilt.html
Please place a label on the
back of your quilt:
"Name of Guild / Group / Bee"
"Town, FL"
"Your Name"
If every quilter would
make 1 small quilt we would have over 500 quilts to send to the hurricane hit
area, if we make 2 then it would be 1000.
Quicky idea if you don't
like binding:
Sandwich your quilt as
follows, With goods sides
of top and back facing each other, then batting pin together. Sew
all the way around the outside of the quilt leaving a hole, of about 6 - 7
inches to turn. Turn the quilt right side out, turning corners well, press and
top stitch around the edge to help keep edges straight. Then "tie "
or "quilt" approximately every 6".
I am making arrangements for
delivery of our quilts into the devastated areas.
Please pass this on
to quilters that you know that don't have emails...THANK YOU

HERE IS A MESSAGE FROM THE AMERICAN QUILTER'S SOCIETY:
All of us have watched in horror as Hurricane Katrina pounded the Gulf Coast this week. Quilters are always ready to lend a helping hand when needed. We are depending on that generosity as we launch AQS Quilters to the Rescue.
The American Quilter's Society will act as a repository for quilts to be donated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. This will be a long-term commitment. We will receive quilts into our warehouse and pack them to be shipped on to the disaster areas, when and where requested by the aid groups. Our Paducah, Kentucky location is the perfect launch point for the aid. We are asking for completed bed quilts and baby quilts only. Do not send quilting supplies, wallhangings, or unfinished quilts.
With colder weather just two months away, quilts made with loving care, will offer comfort to those facing winter and rebuilding their lives. As many as a million people may be left homeless due to this catastrophic disaster. It is likely that many people will be in shelters and other relocation facilities through much of the winter. Quilts will be needed! So spread the word!
Send donated quilts to:
AQS Quilters to the Rescue
c/o American Quilter's Society
5801 Kentucky Dam Road
Paducah , KY 42003
For those of you wishing to donate money instead, we suggest a donation to NOVA (National Organization for Victim Assistance). They will be providing long-term assistance on many levels. You may go to their Web site at www.trynova.org or send checks to NOVA, 510 King Street, Suite 424, Alexandria, VA 22314, or call them at 703-525-NOVA.
For an optional AQS Quilters to the Rescue quilt label, go to www.AmericanQuilter.com and download the PDF. The label will be available on line on Thursday, September 1 st.

ONLINE FIBER
CLASS
I was wondering if you could pass this information along to
your fiber friends. I am trying to get the word out about my online classes I
am teaching at www.joggles.com. This past
couple of months I taught my Fiber Collage class and had a great response to it
from people all over the globe. This Fall I am teaching a Monoprinting on Fiber
class and hope it takes off too.
Joggles.com has posted its Fall online classes, starting in
Sept. My Monoprinting class is starting Sept. 20th and will run for 6 weeks.
Cost is 60.00 plus supplies. This is going to be a really fun class if you have
never Monoprinted on fabric. A lot of the textures and tools are things you can
find around the house or at a thrift store. I have been so inspired by creating
the lessons for this class, that it has made me think of other ways to create
fiber art pieces. Here is the link to Joggles online classes and sign up starts
today. :) http://www.joggles.com/onlineclasses.htm

QUILT SHOW AND AUCTION IN JACKSONVILLE
Quilt Show and Auction
Saturday, February 4, 2006
9 a.m. until 7 p.m.
Morocco Shrine Center
Jacksonville, FL
Admission $3 (Free Parking)
The Comfort for a Cure Quilt Show
began when Arthritis Foundation volunteer and long-time quilter Kathy Minton
came to the Foundation with the idea to have a quilt show to raise money for
arthritis programs and research. We see a strong connection between our mission
in providing comfort and hope for people with arthritis, and the comfort and
support the quilting community creates through their quilting- working together
to create beautiful quilts that provide comfort as well as a rich and generous
history. Together, we can continue our efforts in providing comfort to others
and in the process build on our heritage of generosity and hope.
We are asking quilt makers, of all levels of expertise, to
submit their quilted article(s) to the Arthritis Foundation to be judged and
then auctioned at the Comfort for a Cure Quilt Show and Auction. There will be
three main categories: Wall Hanging, Bed Sized and Open Category.
Any colors and/or patterns are welcome. A brief explanation
of the story behind the quilt, the creator’s inspiration, and any dedications
are encouraged. A quilt heritage book will be created to document each quilt
with a picture, quilter’s signature, the quilt’s story and any dedications.
All entries are a tax-deductible donation to the Arthritis
Foundation. No quilted articles will be returned. All entries will be auctioned
to raise funds for the Arthritis Foundation. We will send you a receipt for tax
purposes with the amount your quilt was valued at and auctioned.
Be a
sponsor: Various sponsorship opportunities are available to meet your
company’s interests. All sponsorship levels include vendor space and a program
advertisement.
Vendor
Space: $100 for a 10’ x 16’ Space: Includes two 8’ tables and
chairs upon request.
Program
Advertising: ¼ page: $50, ½ page: $75, full page: $100, Cover in Color:
$200
The Arthritis
Foundation is a 501(c)(3), not for profit organization. Thanks to a private
donor, 100% of funds raised from this show go directly to the Arthritis
Foundation.
