OCEAN WAVES NEWS - Ocean Waves Quilters
February, 2016 Volume 32, Issue 2 OCEAN WAVES NEWS President’s Message The Ocean Waves Chapter meets on the second Saturday of each month at 9:30 a.m. at Miami West Active Day Center th 13776 SW 8 Street Miami, FL Special meeting day: February 6, 2016 Quilt South Florida February 12 & 13, 2016 FEBRUARY: Final planning meeting for Quilt South Florida WHERE TO FIND: 2016 FL Quilt Shows Officers Birthdays Calendar Checklist Community Quilts Fabric Exchange Hospitality Membership News Minutes Programs Round Robin Sunshine 6 2 2 2 2 5 3 4 5 9 3 3 4 Treasurer’s Report 4 Dear Quilters, Thank you for your kind words of support and your confidence in me to be Ocean Wave Quilt Guild's President. An organization is only as good as the members. Member participation and enthusiasm keep an organization alive and well. I feel very fortunate that so many of the Committee Chairmen have agreed to continue in their current positions. I am pleased that Past President Lois Erickson will continue with the background tasks (Did you know that she makes sure that the toilet paper is stocked for our meeting?), the fabric exchange, and the end of the meeting humor. She has some big shoes for me to step into. After two successful Installation Luncheons, Molly Gonzalez and Yvonne Emmanuelli are ready to pass on the torch. If you would like to be the Installation Luncheon Chairman for January 2017 please let me know. Other chairman positions currently available are Historian, By-laws, 2017 Chapter Raffle Quilt and Nominating Committees. The Guild has not offered the members a Memorial Challenge in a couple of years, maybe this is the year that someone will step up and organize one. We had so much fun at the meetings last year. It is so great that nearly two thirds of our members regularly attend the monthly meetings. April Atlas started off 2015 with nationally recognized quilt teacher Rose Hughes. Pam Chamberlin continued with varied and interesting programs, including another nationally recognized quilt teacher, Carolyn Friedlander. From our members we learned Cotton Theory, Scrappy Mountain Majesties, Crazy Quilts, Fabric Beads, Hawaiian Appliqué and so much more. I now have more UFO's. But, Sandy has some programs planned to help us finish some of those projects. April 9 - Save the Date - The Singing Quilter will perform at the meeting. 2016 is already shaping up to be a busy year with our Quilting South Florida show kicking off the year on February 12 & 13 in Homestead. We are looking for all members to come and help. At the February 6th meeting, the committee will make final plans and assign jobs. But, before the Ocean Waves show, the Florida Keys Guild is holding a quilt show at San Pedro Catholic Church on January 29 & 30. Is anyone interested in carpooling? Let me know and I will try to coordinate. Behind every quilter is a huge pile of fabric.

So many people have been working so hard to make this happen, please make sure that you make plans to see it and bring your friends. I have always been so impressed with the talent of the guild members and am so proud that this will be displayed for the public. Because the show is on the 12th and 13th of February, the regular guild meeting will be on Feb. 6th. March: Community Quilts with Gerry Tucker. Please stay after the meeting and help to tie quilts for the community!!! This is a nice opportunity to give back!! April: Cathy Miller, aka ‘The Singing Quilter” will be our guest teacher. She and her husband, John Bunge, will present a trunk show and entertain us on Saturday, and teach the Mock Mola Reverse Appliqué class on Sunday. They are making their last quilt tour of the US this year (they come from British Columbia, Canada), so mark your calendars for this class! Our smiling speaker and teacher from the January Installation luncheon – Ami Simms. FABRIC EXCHANGE 2016 Lois Erickson The Layer Cake exchange – no baking, just cutting! Mock Mola sample – photograph supplied by Sandy Smith February starts our first exchange. You will need 12 squares 10" x 10". Ten people are signed up this year and we are once again doing our small part to make next year's Installation Luncheon a success by collecting two squares a month for the raffle baskets. So you will bring 12 squares and go home with 10. Then we can watch throughout the year the beautiful fabrics grow. We will be exchanging 10” squares (also known as layer cake) size. Quilt shop quality fabric, pre-washed and ironed. The cost will be $60 for the class. For all class information, visit their website, www.thesingingquilter.com. Click on classes on the left column. The Mock Mola reverse Appliqué is the first one listed. Supplies for the class are also on the website. Cathy and John suggest black batting, although this is not necessary. They will, however, bring some for sale. This really looks like fun!!! May: Member demos!!! This is always a neat opportunity for our members to share their skill with the rest of the guild. Please let me know if you are interested in demonstrating a specific skill for this program. Lastly, please note that I have changed my cell phone: it is 786 397-2719. 2016 ROUND ROBIN Phyllis Salt Have you decided on the center block for your Round Robin piece? We will begin in March and I will have full th directions for each of you at our February 6 Ocean Waves meeting. I will supply a small notebook to each person which will travel with your fabrics throughout the year. I’m looking forward to resuming this in March. 1 yard of fabric should yield 12 squares 1 ½ yards should yield 20 squares 2 yards should yield 28 squares After cutting, put them in a large zip lock bag with your name on it. Bring it each month and separate out the squares on the front counter. When you go home at the end of the day, pick up your bag and hurry home to play with it. This year we are going to mix it up a little and go with themes. So bring any color of fabric or print as long as it has the month’s theme. February: Hearts prints (meeting date: February 6) March: Landscaping (grasses, trees, browns, leaves) April: Flowers May: Boy prints (baby, little boy) June: Girl prints (baby, little girl) July: Patriotic prints August: Black and white prints September: Paisley prints October: Harvest and Autumn colors (gold, orange, browns) November: Dots, Polka Dots December: Jack Frost colors (whites, blues & light bluesthink of winter) 4 NEW for March 2016 HOSPITALITY Lois Erickson Mercy Savage has offered to start a Sit and Sew for hand sewers after guild meetings. Whether you are completing her Hawaiian appliqué, doing other appliqué, binding, embroidery or other handwork, Mercy will be there to help and provide hints and direction. Starting in March 2016, after each guild meeting, the group will meet in the area near the bathrooms to work on individual projects. It’s a wonderful gift from Mercy to guild members, and I hope many of you will take this opportunity to join in. Thank you, Mercy for this awesome opportunity. Just bring yourselves to this special meeting where we will be working on the final details of our quilt show - Quilt South Florida. The guild will provide bagels and accompaniments to fuel our work.

I already have a design in mind for using them in a quilt and will incorporate them with the set of butterflies I received earlier from my first tenure as president.

I have loved feeding everyone and enjoy having you try the unusual things that I bring in from my garden. I will keep bringing in those new food items and I will keep talking about eating healthy. The work I have done for charity projects was a pleasure so expect me to keep asking you to join me in that area.
