What a gorgeous fall we are having. I made the trip up to Cripple Creek on Friday and the leaves are turning-should be beautiful all this week-think I'll go to Deckers or Cripple Creek on Wednesday or Thursday...
speaking of this week, in addition to our meeting on Friday, Jilly is having a workshop at Nana's Cottage on Wednesday at 10:00 to make the witch pins. (see photo attached) Cost is $18 and if this one wont work there is one on October 5Th as well, also at 10.
The September workshop is Ann Lauer from Grizzly Gulch Gallery
She is from Helena, Mt She will be doing a trunk show at the meeting

The patterns for the workshop are:
Early Snow
Autumn Splendor

Bargello landscapes, very cool. Contact Teneka if you want to reserve your space. I don't think there are many openings available so ...

September Orange
October Paisley
Nov/Dec Lodge/Woodsy outdoors
Nominations for officers are due this month-elections in October-if interested in being on the board please let me know.
Hope you enjoyed the presentation by Linda and Kathy last month-I know I definitively would love a vacation in Bali now, of course I really just want all the gorgeous batiks and the turtle stamp! I'll give pictures of the picnic and show and tell to Betty to put in the scrapbook.
Congrats to Teneka for being the "BOA" of the month, I think Betty made a wise choice.

Quilters Above the Clouds
August 26, 2011
Woodland Park Library
For our August meeting, we had a potluck with lots of delicious food. We sat at tables and enjoyed our lunch during the meeting.
It was announced that the Quiltzillas meeting would be held on September 9Th. Quiltzillas were asked to bring $10 for lunch at the Molly Kathleen Mine.
Barb O. shared a thank you note from the children at the safe house. She asked for help with Christmas animals and animals in general. Watch for items that can go into stockings for the children and their mothers.
A motion to cancel the advocacy meeting on the 4Th Thursday was made and passed unanimously.
Cindy D. brought fabric, patterns, buttons and all sorts of notions that had belonged to her friend, Gilda. They were on sale at the meeting to help Gilda’s husband.
Andrea K. had four quilters at her retreat. They had a wonderful time, with terrific food and inspiring views. She kindly donated $10 for each quilter to our guild. Thanks, Andrea!
Cindy D. reported that she put $1300 back into the bank after the quilt show, with a profit of $940. Nancy Davis won both the Viewers’ Choice and the Quilters’ Choice awards. Honorable mentions went to Andrea K., Joan S., and Chris F. Congratulations to all of these talented quilters!
Susie showed the picture of the quilt that was lost by Quilters’ Newsletter, a Colorado publication. Be on the lookout for this beautiful quilt!!
The Food for Thought Challenge quilts were unveiled. What creative people we have in our guild!! There were approximately 10 entries. Each one was unique and gave us something to think about. They will be on display at Park State Bank in the upstairs gallery. We will also display winners from the quilt show.
Our program was presented by Kathy H. and Linda S. They told us about their trip to Bali, where they observed the complex process that produces the beautiful batiks we buy in our favorite quilt stores. They also talked about the culture of the people who live there. They were able to create their own fabrics using stamps and dye- they report it’s not as easy as it looks!
Betty K. recognized Teneka Potter-Sansom as the Best-Over-Achiever for all her work on programs this year! Way to go, Teneka!!!
We ended the meeting with Show and Tell. As usual, so much fun to see wonderful quilts!!
