April 14 Guild Meeting
From the President’s Corner
First, I would to thank Beverly and her Board for a wonderful year. Now for those that don’t
know me here is some basic information. I was born and raised in New Jersey worked for
Johnson & Johnson for almost 34 years in various positions. When Bob & I got married I took
early retirement. After Bob retired from New York City we relocated to the Lake of the Ozarks
in central Missouri where I was introduced to quilting by one of our new found friends. I have
been quilting ever since. Seven years later we came to Texas to be near family and a new
granddaughter. It didn’t take long to find the Quilter’s Guild of Parker County.
I am honored that you have elected me President. Thanks to all of you, I have learned a lot
and am still learning every day. There are many talented members, who so willingly share
their knowledge, that it is a pleasure to be here. These same people are a treasure trove from
which I was able to obtain volunteers for the new Board and Committee positions.

Our Annual Quilt Auction is Here for You!
PCQG 6th Annual Quilt Auction
Thursday, May 19, 2011
Fun starts at 6pm
Something Old...
Last year our Auction was a great success, and my philosophy for this year is if everyone does the same thing they did
last year, our Auction can’t help but be another great success!
For our new members, that means that our Bees and individuals are all working on big quilts, little quilts and everything in
between to donate to the live auction. As always, we will still
have our .25 cent and $1 raffle drawings.
Something New…
To make our auction even more exciting, we are adding this
cool, new feature. We are calling it “TAKE IT FOR $10”.
For just $10 you could purchase items such as jelly rolls,
charm packs, fat quarters, yardage etc., OR for $10 you
could purchase a “service” such as:
* getting a baby quilt quilted
* getting a small quilt binded

Library News
I’m looking forward to seeing what Cindy Needham has to
show us. She’s an author of her own book, Wholecloth Linen Quilts. Also, she’s had her designs featured in Quilters
Newsletter Magazine and articles in American Quilter Magazine. On her “blog” on the internet are wonderful examples
of her machine quilting and antique linens with lace and
pearl embellishments. We are in for a real treat. Unfortunately, we don’t have any of her books.
Remember we have two cabinets of a large variety of
books. They are listed on the guild web site by author and
title in alphabetical order. I also have a budget to buy books
if there’s one you want but would like to only use and share
with others in the guild, let me know.
Now would be a good time to go through your books at
home, “Spring cleaning.” Donate them to sell at the auction
or some other fund raiser in the future.
Remember the FREE magazine table. Donate any you want
to pass on, take the ones your interested in, you don’t even
need to keep them forever, bring them back next month.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the guild meeting.
