The Pine Needle Press will be needing a
new editor for the coming year. A good knowledge
of computers is essential.
The newsletter can be written in a word processor like MS
Word, or publication software such as Publisher (which I used.) The process is fun, creative,
and does have a time commitment.
I have enjoyed being the editor the last three years, and will train the next editor.

Melinda Bula’s lecture on September 7, 2010 will be titled Discovering
the Artist Within.
Attention Enrollees:
For her Fabulous Fusible Flowers class, (The
Cone Flower) to be given September 8, 2010, Melinda will bring with
her the enlarged pattern and all of the pattern piecing in a kit, which
will sell for $12.00 at the class. (The class is full and has a waiting list).
We are obviously looking forward to our Guild’s September kickoff
for our next PTQG’s Season!

Margaret, a native of Grass Valley, has been sewing since childhood and credits her 4-H experience
with providing her love of making clothing for herself and her daughters.
She joined the Guild
and started quilting about 18 years ago; she has held several offices in the Guild, including President,
and was honored with Life Membership in 2004. Her long-term Guild project has been Education
Outreach Committee.

From a soothing earth-tone palette, the true soul of the American Indian lovingly permeates Kathy’s and Tom’s rustic, open floor plan. Authentic Stickly furniture from the Arts and Crafts period blends harmoniously with Tom’s handcrafted mission-style chairs, tables, and frames. An artist in his own right, Tom works from a studio of his own. Through the sheer love of process, Kathy conceptualizes her artistic interpretations in many embroidered pillow themes.

Ambitious geometry and the use of graph paper evolve into designs that she says have been "swirling around in my head." Indian blanket motifs for quilts dominate as Kathy draws inspiration from her favorite book, called Chasing Rainbows. Complementing and accessorizing the American Indian theme is Kathy's pine needle basketry.
A Sierra College class plus a seminar at Gatekeeper's Museum in Tahoe City have given Kathy the resources for success. Artificial sinew is woven through pine needles, building a basket's height in a circular motion. Touches of turquoise or colorful glass beading may bedazzle the edges.

With summer over Community Services will be going strong again. Drop- in will be on
September 16th from 9 to 3.
There are quilts to finish, bindings to be done, and always fabric
to sort, kits to cut and baskets to organize!
Some ladies have been busy making pillow cases
and Christmas stockings, and after phone calls to different organizations, we find that both
will be sought after for end-of-year giving.
Donations of Christmas fabric will be eagerly
accepted for stockings. Come on the 16th - there will be chocolate!
