DOROTHY NYLIN July 31st, 1921 to March 25, 2009
Good Friend, Marvelous Quilter,
Great Teacher, Great role Model.
Dorothy was reading in bed and
just went to sleep.
Please think of YOUR memories of
Dorothy and get them to the EDITOR
for a special report in May‟s Newsletter.
WELCOME SPRING !!!!!!!!!!
Well it's here in name at least.
It hasn't looked like it with all the snow
but, "Fake it till ya make it" It is also
that time of year when our fabulous
volunteer collecting elf, Lynne, will be
coming around asking all of you to fill
positions on the executive for the coming year. Please be gentle with her it's
only her second time! Please keep in
mind also that our guild runs on volunteers and lots of work happens behind
the scenes the makes our Thursdays
enjoyable.
For some examples, Val has
opened the hall every morning for
years! She gets there before eight every
guild day sets everything up, also the
"ladies of the evening" who clean up
at the end of the day.
Ardythe has been working her
tail off for the guild for years, she not
only does a fabulous job on our newsletter but served as secretary and still
fills in from time to time not to mention

the BANNER made by a Schoolhouse Quilters Committee will be
presented to the OAP on May 16th at
11 am - during our SALE!
that she volunteers for just about
everything else going around.
Nice job on the Fiber Arts,
Ardythe!
The Library, The various
draws. BOM, etc, etc, etc, All
these make our guild fun and we
would all miss them if they were
gone.
Please volunteer for
SOMETHING! If you want to do
a job this year but think you won't
have time then get together with a
sewing buddy and "JOB SHARE"
The Work Shop group has done a
terrific job this year and they have
shared the job well between them.
I'm sure it took the pressure off.
After all it is supposed to be fun.
There have also been
comments about being "NEW" It
doesn't matter if you‟re new to the

Yes, sadly, it's true. TWO
suitcases were taken from the
locked trunk of my car just after the
Quilt Canada conference here in St.
John's Newfoundland. I've lost a
significant body of work. Flamboyant, Tropic of Capricorn, Fertility, several small wall hangings and
collages. Almost all of the landscapes from my new book "Points
of View". Also gone are all my
teaching samples, slides etc.
Flamboyant is on the homepage of
my web site and I'd just borrowed it
back from a collector here in St.
John's for an exhibition in August.
I still need to make a complete inventory when I get back home to
Nova Scotia, so will keep you
posted later on next week. In the
mean time, keeping an eye on eBay,
Kijiji St. Johns', Freecycle web sites
and flea markets in the St. John's
area are one way to perhaps spot
them. Phone the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary if you do. A
reward has been posted around this
town for their return. There are optimistic people here in St. John's
who feel they just may turn up. So,
positive thoughts are gratefully received!
I've had an outpouring of
support from quilters around the
globe. You are all so wonderful and
positive. I'll try and respond to you
all later on next week.
Right now, I'm staying
with my original plan to have a
short vacation on the coast of Newfoundland. I‟ll post again when I
have news and when I can get back
to my computer and access to photos.
best,
Val [Hearder]
p.s. I still love Newfoundland!!

guild, you have just as much to contribute. I was a member for three months
when I volunteered to be the president.
Everyone has seen what a screw up I
am and no one has hanged me yet. So
you will survive it too! I think it's better
to be "new" sometimes because we
don't have all the negative information.
You know the info I mean, "sew and
sew burnt those cookies and brought
them to the pot luck anyway" " I know,
isn't it awful" Not that any of us
would ever say anything negative.
(very much Tongue in Cheek) uh uh!
All joking aside, all of the
positions are coming up this year.
Some
fabulous people have volunteered to do
another term and those people have my
thanks. You all get a pat on the back.
Which is always better than a kick in
the @$&.
To make a long story short get
off your duff ladies we need YOU!!!!!
Until next month, Cheers, Marie

By Jessie Schut
fillment we all hope to get in our lives.
Call it full-blast living...” He adds it to
a list that also includes sex, sports, music, and religious ecstasy as activities
that provide a sense of being part of
something bigger than ourselves.(Sex?
Phew, I‟m blushing!)
Where do ideas come from?
How can an idea morph from one thing
into another? What kind of magical
process is involved? Are there ways to
nurture creativity?
How on earth did this creative
process happen? I‟ve been reading and
digging to find out about the creative
process and want to share it with you in
this and next month‟s column.
Some people think that only a
select few people are creative. Not
true! We all have creativity as part of
our genetic makeup. Cavemen (and
women) needed creativity when they
came across situations for which there was
no instruction manual (such as how to
survive in a cave cooped up with your
significant other all winter.) We still need
creativity to survive today – just watch
how creative you can be when you realize
it‟s your in-laws‟ car in the front drive
while you‟re still lounging around in your
nightgown at 10:30 a.m.
But society today has squelched
a lot of creativity out of us. Commonly
accepted norms such as “time is money”,
“we need to be productive”, 5 Easy Rules
for Being a Success, “don‟t rock the
These are questions that I‟ve
been puzzling over, ever since something cool happened as I was working
on a journal quilt last week. It started
out with an idea of depicting in fabric
what happened in the first week of Lent.
This would be serious stuff. Churchy
stuff. Deep, heart-searching spiritual
journey stuff, involving a cross, a Bible,
printing and making pictures on fabric.
Well. The printing didn‟t work
out. The pictures looked weird. The
whole thing just wasn‟t interesting. Just
when I was ready to chuck it all, someone said something that turned on a
lightbulb inside my head. I started over,
and this is what my square looks like:
You may not care for my
“creative” effort, but it makes me giggle. I started with nothing except an
idea, and I kept working at it till it became something. The interesting thing
is, there‟s a lot of truth in that square,
probably more truth than there was in
the original idea. And it felt so good!
Researcher Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
writes, “Of all human activities, creativity comes closest to providing the ful-

Jessie’s Intersections - continued
boat”, „be a team player”, “tried and true” –
these sayings and lots more like them tell us
that there are more important things to think
about than being creative.
In some ways, life has just gotten
too easy – we don‟t even have to improvise
recipes anymore – just open the box and add
eggs or whatever. There are experts around
every corner to tell you what to do and how
to do it. Dr. Phil will solve your relationship
problems, Martha will decorate your home,
and Oprah will tell you everything else,
from what‟s in fashion to what books you
should be reading. Sad to say, even some
quilting workshops can knock the creative
tar out of us when they become so prescriptive that we feel boxed in. Learning techniques, color theories, and design principles
is great – but nobody should be telling us
how to use them for the rest of our lives. .
As well, our inner critics are hot to
trot whenever we try to break creative instincts out of the box. We all have voices
inside our heads reminding us of past mistakes. As kids, we learned pretty quickly in
school that you don‟t color a rooster bright
red, even if you think it looks great; and
forget about coloring outside the lines. Most
people are thought to be eccentric if they
stick a lime green feather in their purple
April 2009
hats, and who wants to be eccentric?
What will people think?
In these and a hundred other
ways, we are told that being different,
trying out our own wings, and messing
around with art is a waste of time.
So it takes a certain gutsiness to
explore and nourish our creativity today.
Quilter Sandra Meech ( Creative Quilts:
Inspiration, Texture and Stitch. Batsford
Publishing, 2006) quotes psychologist
Erich Fromme, “Creativity requires the
courage to let go of certainties.” Courage
is a biggie if you want to be creative. It
takes moxy to step out, try it, and risk the
failure.
Is it worth it? That rush of
adrenaline, that walking-on-air feeling
tell me it is. How about you?
Next month, I‟ll write more
about some of the things we can do to
nurture our creative sides, and step out in
courage. If you have any ideas you want
to share with me, things that have
worked for you, or ah-ha! moments that
you‟ll never forget, please phone to chat

FOUND!
This afternoon a journalist
from a t.v. station in St. John's phoned
to say that a young man had called the
station to say he'd found my quilts.
The journalist interviewed the fellow,
and saw my quilts and they aired the
story this evening. I'm told they are
undamaged. They were found in 2
plastic garbage bags on a well used
path - obviously dumped there today. I
spoke with the finder who handed the
quilts to the police and I am waiting to
hear from the police
I'm thrilled and overwhelmed. The out-pouring of support
and care from everyone has been so
heartening. So many were positive
they would be found - and I knew that
if magic could happen in any city, it
would be St. John's where there is a
big heart and everyone cares. I heard
from a quilter in St. John's this evening who said even her postman asked
everyday if the quilts had shown up

yet. When the quilts were stolen a local
t.v. station contacted me to say the
whole town was pulling for me! I love
St. John's!
I've seen my work published in
many forms over the years, but taping
up "Reward" posters of my quilts was
one of the most disheartening things I've
done. I could only think of them as
"Lost" - because that meant they could
be found. So it is!
Thank you everyone for your
kind emails and calls. I may not be able
to respond to them all but, please know
that I'm very grateful for your positive
thoughts and care.

June 26, 2008
ALMOST
I had a call this afternoon from
my textile friends who collected the
found quilts from the police. The police
wanted to photograph all the quilts before they released them.
It's not a complete retrieval.
None of my teaching materials, teaching
demos and slides have been included in
the haul. Further, I'd tucked some of my
small framed collages and landscapes
into my plastic teaching portfolios. They
are still lost. Still, I'm counting my
blessings and VERY happy to have the
most important pieces back!
The out-pouring of support
from everyone has been the biggest
blessing of all. I just can't wait to get
them safely home!
best,
Val [Hearder]
From Judy:
I was looking for Quilter, Judy Morningstar‟s website and images of her
„crooked houses‟ and came across this
site from Valerie Hearder. As I read
about that “Lost‟ poster I had tears in
my eyes. I thought all the Guild mem-
bers would like to know more on the

have been reproduced here.

Using the Schoolhouse
Quilters’ Library
Our library is self-serve. Library. Volunteers are responsible for
opening and closing our storage cupboards. During the day, the first volunteer to arrive opens the library and
the last to leave locks up. Brenda

A list of who is on duty is
posted inside the door of the left library cupboard. If you have a question or need help, just ask a library
volunteer.
To borrow a book
Choose a book. You might
like to just browse the shelves or refer to lists provided in the plastic folders on the library table. These folders have books listed in alphabetic
order by title, by author and numerically by book number. Newer books
will be found near the beginning of
the numerical list by book number
and can be recognized by looking
down the date column. Remove the
book card from the first page of the
book and fill in today’s date and your
name.
File the card in the library
binder in the pocket that matches the
book number. The book number is
usually on the spine of the book.
You may borrow the book for 4
weeks.
To return a book

book (using the book number) in the
library binder. Fill in the date returned and put the book card back in
the book. Return the book to the library shelf in numerical order.

Thanks so much to every
one of the willing workers who finished ALL of the favors for Hands
Across the Water.
I counted (Blank) and
(Blank) today and tucked them
safely away until October. (Editor:
can’t tell everybody what we made!) . It says
a lot about our members that we got
so much done in such a short time.
I now have a bag of supplies, which was leftover from your
donations. It will be left on the
"free" table for you to re-claim, if
you so desire, on Thursday April
2nd and Thursday April 9th.
Thanks again! Norma McNeillie

I keep telling myself it was for
the best, because Dorothy was becoming
so frail and would not have been able to
stay home any longer, that she went to
sleep with a good book and everyone
who knew Dorothy knew how much she
loved a good book At the last meeting
she was so happy to see the article in
Quilts Canada. She was overjoyed with
the scrapbook of the Tea. I think of all
these things and I am reminded of the
movie Fried Green Tomatoes. I am going to steal a line from that movie and
say "Dorothy was a Lady, and a Lady
always knows when it's time to go"
Having said all that, there is a hole in
my life that is not likely to fill up anytime soon. Marie Trimmer

Tip of the Day:
Taming the Ruler
Frustrated by your rotary ruler wandering when you are cutting fabric?
Keep that tool where it needs to stay
using two items you probably already have handy in your house.
Add a dab of clear nail polish on
each corner and at each end of the
ruler. Sprinkle with salt and allow
to dry. No more slips! Thanks to
Marlette0613 for sharing this great
idea. From Ricky Timms web "The

Quilter's Horoscope

Thanks to Hope Rychkun
A humorous compilation of character traits of quilters according to their zodiac signs. Compiled by a quilting tutor
with over twenty years experience teaching patchwork and quilting and zero years writing horoscopes. By Pauline
Rogers
Aries - March 21 to April 20 Aries are adventurous and energetic quilters. They are forever looking for
new ideas. The whole world to them is a palette of endless possibilities. Always confident, they use colour
schemes that others wouldn‟t dare consider. Their enthusiasm can cause them to lose track of time when
working on a project and they have been known to go days without sleep. Being impulsive by nature, they
generally don‟t bother reading the instructions for designs. Of course, as far as they are concerned the patterns are just to give them more ideas. Aries have a talent for the arts and make excellent designers. They
don‟t follow techniques; they invent them. Their quilt designs are the envy of many.
Taurus - April 21 to May 20 Taurus is the quilter who always finishes a project, as they are persistent
and determined. When attending workshops or using a pattern they will follow every instruction to the
letter. They can be greedy when it comes to their stash, as they know the value of material. They save
every bit of scrap. However, they are warmhearted and loving to such a degree that they have given away
nearly every quilt they have ever made. They are gifted artists, excelling at sewing, patchwork and quilting. The stitching in their quilts is of such high quality that their quilts will endure for eons.

March 21-22, and these are a few of the quilts we saw! - By no means are they all that we saw! IT was

us back again, all in all a nice day out!
