Coastal Prairie Quilt Guild Of Texas
Volume 11 Issue 9
It’s May!!! The year 2019 is passing by faster than any previous year, ever. (?!) There’s still so much to do. We need to elect a new board; volunteers required. Serving on our guild’s board has changed some-what. Next year, we will not have evening meetings. That change will decrease the amount of time each board member is required to take care of guild business. We are currently working on updates to the By-Laws and Standing Rules. Taking care of these items this year will create a better environ-ment for the board to work within next year. We are having a quilt show. So much planning to do. We have a date and a venue, now we need volunteers. It’s your show, it’s your quilts. This is a “big deal”! It’s probably the event that consumes more of our time and talent than any other event our guild is involved in. Please be a part of the quilt show preparation process. Many are needed to make our 2020 quilt showcase on par with our previous shows. Coastal Prairie Quilt Guild is my guild and, yours too. If I need to ask you to help me with an errand or a phone call to make our quilt show succeed, I will ask you. No time to be shy. You may find that partici-pating is easier than you thought and the pat on your back is not so bad either. Per usual, I sign off: Peace, Love & Fabric Rebecca M. Trevino _____________________________________________________________
Editors Note: Congratulations to Auian Ward!!!!! Her Deep Blue Waters quilt was
selected for inclusion in the special exhibit International Quilt Festival’s
Sapphire Celebration.

Below are the biographies that have beensubmitted to date:
2019—2020 CPQG Officer Nominee
Membership—Cathy Price
I am a Texas native. I have been quilting since I was a teenager. I enjoy traditional patterns, but like to
change them up some. Being on the Board has been enjoyable and a great way to meet people.
President - Debbie Garner
Debbie has been a member of Coastal Prairie Quilt Guild for six years. She has served as workshop Chairman elect, workshop chairman, and is currently serving as president elect. Debbie has been quilting for about 20 years after studying fashion merchandising and textiles at the University of Arkansas. She owned a quilt store in Shreveport Louisiana before moving to Houston. She appreciates the support she is receiving from the guild as we all look forward to a prosperous new year for the guild.
Secretary - Diama Cortez
My name is Diama Cortez and I am running for the board position of Secretary for the term September 2019
thru August 2020.
My mother taught me to sew doll clothes when I was 10 years old by hand then she showed me how to operator a sewing machine. Years later, I became fascinated with quilting books and patterns and I wanted to learn to
quilt, so in 1988 I signed up for a beginner quilting class which taught me to piece and quilt by hand.
I joined Coastal Prairie Quilt Guild in March 2018 and currently I’m the Secretary. I am also a member of the
Houston Modern Quilt Guild.
Program Elect, Linda Towle
As a Charter Member of Coastal Prairie Quilt Guild I have learned so much about quilting and made many
wonderful friends. In the past I have served as Treasurer and Librarian.
I took my first quilting class in 1981 where we made our own cardboard templates, cut our fabric with scissors
and pieced by hand. So glad that has all changed!
I love hearing about all the different aspects of the quilting world at our programs. I also enjoy learning new
techniques at our workshops.

May 1 local artist Glenda Wilder will present a lecture and trunk show entitled My Quilting Journey - I Mapped my Way and You Can Too. Glenda will share her journey from percale sheets, poly batting and templates made from plastic lids to today's great tools. While showing quilts that have marked her journey, she will share tips and tricks to bring your original designs to life.
May 16 our own Lisa Patterson will present Construction of People and Picture Quilts. Her Sat-urday May 18th workshop will be a full day. Details are available in the workshop section.
June 5 Rhonda Dort will present Quilting with Vintage Linens. Rhonda is a 3rd generation quilter who enjoys (among many quilt related activities) the process of embellishing vintage embroidered pieces. She loves searching through antique shops, flea markets and junk stores looking for vintage trims, buttons, needle work and linens. She also enjoys talking about her work and will share this information with us.
June 20 Dot Collins will present The Stories Behind the Quilts It will be followed by a workshop on Dresden Plate Construction. Details are available in the workshop section.
Suggestions are being taken for our August 7 School House which will involve demonstrations from guild members. If there is a specific technique you would like to learn or if you have a special skill you would like to share - please contact Joan Bell ([email protected]).
Programs by Joan Bell
Workshops by Darleen Patin & Judy Wolter
We currently have only 5 spots left for the Saturday, May 18 workshop with Lisa Patterson who will lead us through an all day workshop on picture quilt construction. She has two panel designs for us to choose from --- a face of Santa Claus and a landscape with fields of flowers in foreground and mountains in the background. Lisa is confident that anyone can learn these techniques with her guidance and instruction. Choose your panel when you sign up. Workshop fee is $25 paid to the Workshop Chair prior to class. Additional costs are the pattern--$5 for Santa and $12 for landscape -- and the kit cost if you choose to buy the kit. The cost of the kits: Santa Kit $15, Landscape Kit $20. Both the pattern and the kit are payable on the day of the workshop to the instructor. Please note that when you choose a panel, you cannot change it. The patterns are custom cut as are the kits and these will be cut as ordered. If you use your own fabrics rather than the purchased kits, the amounts are in the supply list below. To enroll in the workshop, please contact either Judy Wolter via text at 270-498-3633 or Darleen Patin via text at 713-304-2614 or by email. Enrollment deadline is May 15.

Workshops by Darleen Patin & Judy Wolter (continued)
June 20 Workshop will be Dresden Plates with a Twist with Dot Collins. This is an afternoon workshop from 1:00-4:00 at the church after our Guild meeting. Dot will show us this traditional block in a very different light. One of her favorite techniques is using the Dresden Plate pattern with the Stack and Whack method made famous by Bethany Reynolds. Of course, you can choose to do the plate in traditional fabric with traditional cutting, but the “stack” method will give you a lovely, unique block with a modern look. The Dresden plate blocks for the workshop quilt are made with 9, 40 de-gree wedges. Using traditional methods, you will piece 3 or 9 different fabrics for the wedges or you can use 9 repeats of a busy print fabric stacked (think Stack and Whack method) and then cut to create a “twisting, twirling” plate design. The blocks for the workshop quilt are 12” square separated by 2” sashings. Have a look at Dot’s quilts at her website: dotcollinsquilter.com. Click on Work-shops, then click on the highlighted “Dresden Quilt” title and you will see her designs. We will have a complete supply list at the May 1 and May 15 meetings. Cost: $30.

Coastal Prairie Quilt Guild Minutes of the March 6, 2019 Board Meeting
Approved April 3, 2019 The meeting was called to order by Rebecca Trevino, President at 2.59 pm at the Hickory Inn BBQ location on FM1092 in Missouri City.
Board Members in attendance: Rebecca Trevino, Diane Hickey, Kay Paul, Diama Cortez, Grace
Clarke, Barbara Young, Darlene Patin and Cathy Price. A quorum was present. Committee Mem-
bers in attendance: Mark Towle, Lisa Patterson, Sakeenah Mubashshir and Debbie Rambin.
The Minutes of the February 6, 2019 Board meeting were approved as emailed. The Treasurer’s Report for February 2019 was approved. Committee Reports: Storage Space Relocation- Rebecca Trevino heard from Debbie Garner that all was good on the move to the new unit, had plenty of help and received a better price that expected. Standing Rules- Rebecca reported that the standing rules committee is on hold. Nomination Committee- Rebecca stated that a nomination committee is needed for the 2019/2020 year to replace the Treasurer and Membership board positions. Diane Hickley will be on committee since she will not be returning for a board position, plus we will need 3 general members. Rebecca stated that bios should be written for the board positions and sent them to Mark Towle for the newsletter. Discussion Points: Quilt Show 2020- Mark Towle reported the quilt show will be at Fort Bend County Fair Grounds Building ‘C’ and the down payment has been made. The quilt entry forms are due March 9, 2020 and on April 19 and 25, quilts will be turned in at his house and drop off times are to be determined. The judging dates will be May 5 and 6, but still need to be finalized. The 2020 CPQH Quilt Showcase will be on May 15 and 16. Mark made a proposal to change the by-laws by adding the concept of inactive members. (Try to encourage participation in guild activities, not just in the Quilt Showcase) Limit inactive members to 4 quilts in the show. Lisa Patterson said we should limit inactive members to enter quilts, it cost the guild to hang the quilts plus the pipe and drapes and they win many ribbons. Lisa said we need to define an active member by meet-ing attendance, charity and workshops. Cathy Price made a motion to define active member vs non-active member and Kay Paul seconded the motion. Mark said the by-laws need to be written so we need a new com-mittee. Committee members are Kay Paul, Barbara Young, Lisa Patterson and we need 3 guild members. Cathy Price said she will send an email to see if any member would like to volunteer for the by-laws commit-tee. Mark said this needs to completed by the May board meeting. Mark passed out a proposed budget for the quilt show for board approval. The board reviewed the proposal and Diane Hickey made a motion to ap-prove the budget proposal as presented and Cathy Price seconded the motion, all agreed. Board/Committee Reports: President-elect: Debbie Garner – not present. Membership: Cathy Price reported as of today we have 125 members. Cathy said she will not return as membership chair. Program Chair: Joan Bell- no present. Program Chair-elect: Grace Clarke said she has spoken to Debbie Mattie who does Japanese indigo fabric dying. The lecture would be on April 16, 2020 for $495 and a full day workshop on Friday would cost $595. Barbara Young showed a picture of a quilt using the dyed fabric to make spinning stars at the workshop and 20 was the max attendance. Cathy Price made a motion for Debbie Mattie to have the lecture and workshop at the price quoted and Diama Cortez seconded the motion, all agreed. Grace stated that 120 emails were sent for the survey and 52 members had participated. She will send the re-sults to Mark Towle for the newsletter. Grace would like to propose that at the March 2020 meeting she would like to highlight member Sally Staner who won Best in Show and to bring her quilt and share what it takes to work on this quilt. Grace made a motion to have a highlight speaker and Cathy Price seconded the motion and all agreed. Rebecca asked Grace if she was planning on having a party like we did for the Valen-tine one. Grace said she has a bingo party idea and she found quilt bingo cards online we could use. Grace also asked how can she get access to the storage unit since she is the Emergency Contact person. Sakeenah Mubashshir said she needs to send an email with the lock information to those needing access. Kay Paul

made a motion that the Emergency Contact person should have access to the storage unit and Barbara Young seconded the motion, all agreed. This also needs to be added to the Standing Rules. Workshop Co-Chair: Darlene Patin stated that the next workshop is March 21st with Cynthia Regone and she has 12 kits made, so the workshop is closed. Darlene said no one has signed up for Kari Jones’ workshop. Workshop Chair-elects: Barbara Young reported that on January 16, 2020 Cyn Wilder from Quilters Cot-tage will show us the Studio 180 ruler called Rapid Fire. The ruler cost is $34.95 which can make a 3” or 8” star. Cyn is requesting $225 for the lecture, $450 for the workshop and the quilt kit for $12. Kay Paul made a motion to contract Cyn Wilder for lecture and workshop, Diane Hickley seconded the motion and all agreed. Barbara said that in May 2020 we will have a Bargello quilt pattern which only takes 2 fabrics. Barbara also said she had a request for Suzie Parron Barn Quilt book and asked if she could purchase one. Diama Cortez said she had purchased one from Suzie and she will donate it to the library, the only thing is that it’s auto-graphed to Diama. Treasurer: Diane Hickey said a treasurer is needed for next year since she has completed her two year term. Representative-at-Large: Kay Paul reported she will continue her position of Representative- at -Large. Secretary: Diama Cortez said she would remain as Secretary for next year. Community Service: Sakeenah Mubashshir reported she went to Bay Area Quilt Guild meeting and they give a nice packet to visitors. They are having a quilt show in Pearland in May and Sakeenah passed out the flyers. Donation Quilt: Debbie Rambin said she is waiting on volunteers to show the donation quilt to other guilds..
