June - Pine Tree Quilt Guild
The Pine Needle Press Volume 32 Issue 6 Pine Tree Quilt Guild June 2015 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A newsletter of the Pine Tree Quilt Guild of Nevada County, having taken root in the fabric of the Grass Valley community since 1984. Published monthly except August. 11255 Banner Mine Way, Nevada City 95959 www.PineTreeQuiltGuild.com JUNE 2ND MEETING CHANGE OF LOCATION SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH, OSBORNE HILL RD., GRASS VALLEY June Program Carol Ziogas The Ardent Thread Carol has been sewing since 1978 and researching Japanese textiles since 2004. She teaches, lectures, sells and collects as many beautiful textiles and books about them as she can. She has been blogging since 2008 and writing for publications since 2010. She is on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest, as well as maintaining a blog which is connected to her Etsy store, KimonoMomo. She is also a tour guide! In September of this year she’s going to Japan to lay the groundwork for a future tour. According to her website, it’s not decided whether it will be a tour to the Tokyo International Quilt Festival in January 2016 or just a fun tour with a focus on sashiko with visits to the Amuse Museum and shopping at the famous Blue and White. Carol’s website, theardentthread.com, offers a wealth of information on sashimi and the needed materials. She also gives little hints on wise choices for using those materials. Visit her site, theardentthread.com, and check out her blog. Her life is interesting and devoted to her crafts. See what a good partner she has, and see how he expanded the storage area for her fabrics! Better yet, come to Tuesday night’s, June 2nd. PTQG meeting and see her for yourself!

Kate Grant, President NOTE: If you participated in putting on the show and I somehow did not include your name, I sincerely apologize. Most all Guild names were taken from the green slips that were turned in, but some didn't have names on them. Please contact me so I can acknowledge you in our next newsletter (ksgrantgv@gmail.com). The Pine Needle Press Page 3 Community Services and Drop In and Sew The times they are a changing and so is Community Service. At the May Guild meeting I gave you a “heads up” on the changes. Here they are in more detail. Your response to “Kathy’s Kits” has been wonderful and overwhelming. So much so that Community Services has 100+, yes 100+, quilt tops in need of quilting. We do not have enough space to store these because more come in every month and some of our loyal volunteers are not available. Therefore . . . beginning in June, all kits that are checked out will include batt, back, and binding. Kits must be returned as a completed quilt. What does this mean? It means that you, or someone you know (friend? mini group?, or guild member?), will work with you to quilt and bind the quilt. People who will bind: Mary Serpa, Joyce Yaksick, Jeanne Rupp Quilters: if you will help quilt, please let me know and I will share your name. Seventeen – 17 – quilts need binding at this time. Call me if you are interested in helping with this project. THE GOOD NEWS . . . CS has several events for you to learn simple quilting techniques. Space is limited for these events so sign up by calling me or at the June meeting . . . 25 July – QUILTAPALOOZA at Sugar Pine Quilt Shop, Noon to 9:00 p.m. This all day event allows you to select the hours you want to sew. Quilt tops, batt and backs will be provided. Munchies, chocolate, and drinks also provided. PRIZES throughout the day. Potluck or contribute to Miner Moe’s Pizza. 19 September – Ina Gibson returns with “Envelope Quilting”, an easy, breezy way to complete a quilt. Practice on a CS quilt and gain ideas for you to use on your own quilt. 19 November – Lorna Straka: Easy Binding 2015 Community Service Dates September 17 October 15 November 19 December Distribution on Wednesday, 2nd REMEMBER, there is NO CS in June, July, August, or December Thank you, Marjorie McConnell CS and DIS meet at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, Osborne Hill Road, Grass Valley. There are a variety of projects to help with, support available, homemade treats to keep you fortified – do bring a lunch if you stay for the day.

Contact:Kate Grant at ksgrantgv@gmail.com The Pine Needle Press Cora Hughes Page 7 Patchwork Star June 2015 All the way to South Lake Tahoe, Cora's and Dave's blissful retreat owns a panoramic view of pristine forest, their passport to nirvana. Built in 1980, their sprawling home has a sizable attached granny unit, now occupied by Cora's quilting studio. Each wall displays a bountiful supply of original paintings by Dave's famous father, the late Alan Hughes from Long Island, New York. Ambitious pen and ink renderings of ships and factories as well as oil portraits and modern abstracts were a delight to behold. Too, Cora's wall quilts were artfully interspersed, giving their home an exhaustive cornucopia of carefully curated objets d' art. Mild mannered Cora is not a bit player in the realm of quilting, exclaiming: “ I made 30 quilts last year!” Although she gleans inspiration from magazines and others' patterns, she never follows them. Cora likes to “quilt outside the bee”. Shrugging good-naturedly, she claimed: “I do my own thing. I don't follow patterns.” Adding: “ I can't stand to leave a mistake. I'm a stickler for matching my points, even if I have to rip it out 6 times!” With the precision of a Swiss watch, Cora's points are impeccable. Cora is worried, however, about utilizing her enormous stash before she dies. So many of us can relate to this, amen? Candidly admitting, “my mother never met a fabric store she didn't love”, Cora herself has had to put on the brakes a little. Exhaustive flowered Kaffes, cerise flavored dots, flaming gold go-withs and tantalizing sapphires were stacked neatly and beckoningly in an open cabinet. Lonni Rossi prints peeked out at me, light and dark rusts imprinted with this maxim: “Chrysanthemums are the Symbol of Long Life and Harmony”. How can you not be just itching to use this as as your next winning quilt theme? A floor-to-ceiling design wall 12 feet wide is always available for Cora's 5 grandchildren, ranging from ages 4-12, to accomplish their weekly planning strategies. Four machines: 2 Berninas, a Janome and a Brother sit handily in a super large studio. Admittedly, Cora demurred, “I just can't give stuff away!” Perhaps we could help Cora out with a private mini-group stash sale?? It's all here—Cora has no favorite color. Cora's forte is in hand quilting. Traditional bed quilts average an even 12 stitches to the inch. She comfortably uses a large lap frame, expediently and accurately. Themes vary, but as she candidly remarked: “ I never passed a sunflower I didn't like.” When not quilting her own, Karla and John Rogers come to the rescue. The guest bed was covered with 16 quilts! Of course, kids and grandkids have already received their share. Having traveled to Japan, Cora and Dave have acquired Japanese dolls, art pieces, fabrics and techniques. If all began with their hosting a Japanese exchange student. Unbelievable cathedral windowish table runners blew me away! You gotta see it to believe it! Cora is very focused. When she sets her mind to do a quilt or other project, she is tenacious. A passionate newer interest has her focused on helping her daughter, Lisa, to develop and sell life-like therapeutic baby dolls. They can be beneficial for Alzheimer patients, reducing a patient's use of medications from as much as 92% to 28%. Each hand made baby doll is one-of-a-kind and totally real looking. Cora can explain more. It is evident the Hughes' family heritage is fantastically rich! Cora hails from two quilting grandmothers. Dave's father was a famous painter and Dave himself is a wood sculptor. We now look forward to Cora's next greatest quilting exploit. Go get 'em Cora!
