President's February Message

Perhaps because of the red hearts of Valentine’s Day, February always seems to be a high-energy month for quilters. Or maybe because we're often snowed in our sewing rooms in February. Whatever the reason, quilt product is high in February. And to produce, you must have energy and an artist’s heart. A high energy level is needed with all that is scheduled monthly for the Guild. There is Mystery Challenge, Dropped Stitches, Home Workshop, Round Robin, Gift Quilt Challenge, mini-group meetings, and Community Service.

There is something for every member. Can one person do it all?

Keep the energy cooking with your own projects, because before you know it, our Quilt Show “Springtime in the Pines” will be upon us. The silent auction will need donations, and your other projects will be examined by judges looking for points, tension, binding, quilting design, and so much more. Quilting is not for slackers.

President,
Pine Tree Quilt Guild

Virginia Astorian -
  Patchwork Star


By golly, I think I have found the winner! You know the saying: The quilter who dies with the most fabric wins. Well, Virginia is a strong contender. But she is alive and energized, handily pursuing her craft, 20 projects at a time, with a Janome Professional Memory Craft and a beloved utility Pfaff. Her specially designed walk-in closet is well organized with a zillion half-yard cuts: the red flannels on these three shelves, the yellows at eye level, the beige and white backgrounds over yon. Decidedly, the blues dominate.

Virginia Astorian,
Patchwork Star
Sheepishly, Virginia admits: “Blue is my favorite color,” adding “I love piecing and rotary cutting.” Her most oftchosen genre is reproduction fabrics from the ‘30s in traditional patterns. Her quilts are all king and queen sizes, outfitting all the beds, some on walls, some on racks or railings. Large quilts are cleverly displayed with wooden 3-D bows and maple leaves, allowing them to fan out at the top, leaving the bulk to swing freely and securely for proper display and examination.

See page 9 in the February 2010 Newsletter for the entire article.
