She pieces, at one time. A short time later started quilting in 1985 and soon the paper-piecing world discovered began teaching a variety of quilting and how wonderful it was to paper piece. craft classes. In 1995, she invented the The ruler is now a standard must-have Author, Teacher, Designer Add-A-QuarterTM ruler. She had been 2015 making a quilt for a dear friend using templates—she was so frustrated with the time it took to make and cut each Volume 37 Number 4 piece, she designed what we now know as the Add-A-QuarterTM. 303-841-5920 The original ruler design was meant CM Designs, Inc. 7968 Kelty Trail Franktown, CO to be used with templates, which addaquarter.com automatically add the quarter inch seam allowance and allows quilters to tool for anyone wanting to paper piece.

The Colorado Quilting Council is a statewide organization of people interested in preserving the heritage of quilting; promoting excellence in quilting and related arts; and in providing a source of information and inspiration. Dear Quilting Friends, SPRING…What a beautiful day we had in Ft Collins. It was great to see the sun and so many of you at the meeting. As usual the speaker, Nancy Eha, inspired me to think about quilting in a new way. She talked about the physics of beads and beading, and I asked her if I could use that term related to quilting as a whole and she agreed. I am not very scientific, but I am intrigued by science and how the world works. So, I looked up the definition of physics and found— the physical properties and phenomena of something. Well that certainly fits quilting. Membership dues for 2015 are $25 and expire at the end of the year. Dues after August 1st are $12.50. International membership is $30 per year.

It is definitely a phenomenon, both from an individual point of view as well as from a business perspective. As I think back to the revival of hand quilting that began in 1972 it was important to look at the physical properties of handiwork that had somewhat worn out its usefulness. Bedding could be bought at a store much more cheaply than it could be made and if it was made, using a machine to create it was much faster. We were approaching the age of technology and information. However, small pockets of quilters began bringing back the art of handiwork; hand piecing, hand appliqué and hand quilting, they were all the rage. Now 43 years later, quilting has truly become an art form. It takes all forms, from the traditional to the contemporary, from bed quilts to art gallery quilts. It is a multimillion dollar a year business. In this 43 years, technology has also influenced the quilt world and probably in the past five years the Internet, Pintrest, Craftsy, and websites for shops, teachers, techniques and support for each other has become the norm. So as I think about the physics of quilting, I am focusing on the physical properties of this phenomenon. One of the things that brought our Founding Mothers together was the need to meet and share with others this love Send address changes to the Membership Chairman. The Colorado Quilting Council, Inc. P.O. Box 295, Wheat Ridge, CO 80034 Web coloradoquiltcouncil.com of handiwork. To share ideas, techniques, stories and show their latest projects. The information, technology world allows us to do this, but in a much more secluded way. We don’t get to see the look of surprise or wonder as we share the latest quilt with our friends. We don’t get to touch the new fluffy handor machine-quilted piece that our friend just spent months to complete. Can we really see the vibrant colors or the tiny stitches in a computer format? I believe that as “Quilters” the need to come together and be with others who share the same love of fabric, quilts, artwork and design will always be part of who we are as creative creatures. It is my deepest desire that we will always continue the opportunity to come together and share our love of quilting. Have a wonderful Spring and we will see everyone in Colorado Springs.

A small project with three 10" blocks gives you a chance to hone your paper piecing skills under Carolyn’s practiced eye. You’ll easily finish one block in class— maybe more, and will have no trouble with the rest on your own. Finished size is approximately 18"×38" so you can shop in your stash for needed materials. The supply list will be furnished when you enroll for the class. A $5 kit fee is payable to Carolyn for the templates and instructions students will need. A certified Niemeyer instructor for 5 years, Sandy suggests the “Christmas Celebration” pattern because it uses all the techniques. The pattern was designed as a tree skirt, but can be a table topper or throw–60" diameter, it is big enough for lots of uses. Class begins Saturday (no extra charge) so that Sandy can help you sort colors, cut, and get ready to sew on Sunday. At Inspirations Quilt Shop, Jaylene Evans and her staff will help find the fabric you need. Pattern available through Inspirations. Call Jaylene at 970-542-0810 to reserve your copy. Fabric requirements vary depending upon which pattern you choose. Fill out the form on page 6 and check the box for the workshop that you have selected.

Some thoughts Joyce Taff, Hall of Fame Chairperson jttaff@earthlink.net in the 10–12 bracket, cooking and washing were all labor- that this book brought to mind are: family sizes were common intensive tasks without the aid of running water, and quilting was done after a day of hard work with no light but that of a candle or fireplace. Yet these women soldiered on with heartbreaking and heart-warming steadfastness. Outreach Award Nominations Needed If these back-breaking daily tasks were not enough to discourage a woman; Indian uprisings, grasshopper plagues The Outreach Award is designed to recognize individuals or organizations who have made a significant contribution to quilting—educational, historical or cultural. It differs from the Hall of Fame Award in that the Outreach Award acknowledges contributions of non-members as well as CQC members and can be awarded to an individual or organization on the local, state or national level. and the isolation were further struggles to contend with ( and let's not forget the cold icy winters in this area). Having struggled with publishers and printing companies, this book shows a likewise steadfastness on the part of the author. Recording the importance of family life in that time period and now is a valuable endeavor to help us appreciate and improve our own futures.
