FEATURED SPEAKER:

PHYLLIS BINKLEY

“SHOWING DEPTH & SPACE IN LANDSCAPES” This month we welcome Phyllis Binkley to the guild with her beautiful presentation on landscape quilts. The following bio is excerpted from her web-site and will give you an introduction to the artist and her works.

hand embroidery allow her to enhance the collages with stitches and details. Phyllis has been giving Landscape Workshops since 2002 and is active in her local quilt guild as well as the Embroidery Guild of America in Hemet. She specializes in Western Mountain and Desert Landscape Quilted Wall Hangings, and uses her own hand-dyed fabrics for sky and mountains. All of her pieces are one of a kind, Original Art Designs, and many include hand as well as machine embroidery on the flowers in the foreground. Machine thread painting is also used. Beads, 3-dimensional fabrics, trapunto, plus other enhancements add interest, textures, and sparkle to the landscapes. Alaska is one of her favorite places, and the expanse of the huge mountains and abundance of wildlife have been a great influence on her work. Phyllis also does many desert scenes with blooming cactus and desert animals, as well as special commissions, banners for churches, and custom designs for clothing. More examples of her work can be found on her web-site: www.landscapeartquilts.com .

Phyllis Binkley is a retired Art teacher of 30 years, with a Masters Degree in Art and a background in weaving and fabric design. About 1994, her mother, who is a traditional quilter in Illinois, insisted Phyllis

attend the International Quilt Show in Houston. That was a life changing experience. She saw that quilts could be expressive, personal statements and that quilters did not have to stick to preset patterns. From then on, she turned classroom batiks into large quilts for her school and family. Since her retirement in December 1999, Phyllis’ passion for fabrics, dying and creating with these materials has led her through some interesting and enjoyable experiences, especially through the method of collage. Using either flower print fabrics or landscape textures to create original designs and compositions, she has found that raw edge appliqué is versatile and spontaneous. Because realistic sky fabrics are hard to find, and even distant mountains are not so plentiful, she started painting her own sky and mountain fabrics to use in the workshops and for her personal work.

Be sure to join us for a special night!

A Pie & Ice Cream Social

Join all your friends & quilting buddies for an evening of fun as we indulge our sweet tooth with pie & ice cream & all the trimmings. (Bring fresh fruit for those who cannot eat sweets.) Tell everyone.

This is an evening not to be missed!

See you there!

Volunteer, welcome newcomers, enjoy the old-timers, and remember we all have the commonality of quilt making. In closing, a heartfelt thank you to all for your support and faith to lead this group. Piece in peace, Your friend, Heidi St. Royal P.S. Love and thank you to my husband Les and sons Scott and Nicholas, who have continued to support all my endeavors.

Aggressive in character... complex, but not heavy.... rich and deep with a lovely finesse... Although this sounds like a wine review, these are the words I like to describe quilters and their works of art!! You might even call them bold and well balanced, with a strong finish. Well, I'm at the beginning of a Presidential ride with a super team!! It seems like only yesterday attending my first quilt show at the Glendale Civic Auditorium with Mom, Anne Lu Wolf, and sister, Lori Snee. We were overwhelmed with the quilt world and these passionate people who were so inviting for us to join! In every position thereafter, I became more involved with a most interesting and fun group. It never mattered that you were a "newbie". Many of my closest friends were found in the guild. Fellowship is a great thing on its own, but it also feeds our creativity. Where else can we bond with fabric addicts who just "get it"? What I really want to express to all is the guild is more than just a passionate hobby we all share, you will find not only stitchin' support, but love and kindness when needed. I thank this fresh and energetic team, who volunteered to fill every position on all levels of the board. The Guild’s success and your satisfaction are about communication. If there's a problem, take it to the board.

Glendale Quilt Guild General Meeting Glendale Central Library June 11, 2008 The meeting was called to order by President Alice Smith at 7:15 p.m. Minutes for 5/14/2008 were corrected under Philanthropy to reflect that it was voted to approve the donations to 2 museums. At the General Meeting, Pat Grim had read the recommendation for the member’s consideration. The minutes were approved as corrected. Treasurer Nancy Mraz gave the May financial report which was approved as read. The proposed budget for the fiscal year starting July 2008 was handed to everyone, read and discussed. The budget is less than previous years; however, it is based on realistic expectations of income. After relevant questions were satisfactorily answered, the membership voted to accept next year’s budget as presented. Corresponding Secretary Susan Edwards reported cards were sent to Corrine Gurney, sympathy for the loss of her husband, and get well wishes to Anne Wolfe, Michele Pusateri, and Sharon Bishop. Workshop Chair Louise Rupp announced Rasa Read’s Total Binding by Machine class this coming Saturday the 14th will be held at Patchwork Penguin starting at 9 a.m. Since only one person signed up for Phyllis Binkley’s Painting with Fabric class scheduled for July 26th, that workshop is being cancelled. The $45 kit fee may have deterred many from taking this class. Bus Trip to Long Beach Quilt Festival on July 26th already has many spaces filled. so it is a “go”. Cost is $15 which includes the entrance fee. Flyers are at the membership table. Payment is required to reserve a spot on the bus. Alice and Katsy are organizing this trip. Newsletter Chair Sabine Steinmetz stated that she is collecting articles for next month for Sandy Bradfield who is taking over editorship. Sabine answered questions about when the newsletter is posted on the website (around the first of the month) and its location on our web site which is now in a prominent place on the home page. The current newsletter and back issues can also be located in the drop down box under Resources. 2009 Quilt Show Chair Rasa Read reported on the status of the opportunity quilt, scheduled for completion by the Long Beach Show, and the plan to begin selling tickets at that time. She thanked Pat Rollie for volunteering to quilt it. Rasa passed around sign- up sheets for selling tickets and completing our volunteer obligation in Long Beach. Alice Smith will drive on Friday and can take about 5 people to help sell tickets. The first 2009 quilt show meeting will be on July 15th, 7 p.m., in the Library board room. Everyone is invited. Of the 40 positions, only 10 are filled. The most urgent position needed is someone to “baby sit” the opportunity quilt, and be responsible for getting to the various venues. Membership: Frances Brannon asked that everyone present pick up and renew their membership tonight and save a stamp! 74 members are present, plus one new member. Loving Hands will meet this Friday at the usual place and time. There are no meetings in July and August due to the heat. Philanthropy: Pat Grim read the proposal of donating $500 to

Pasadena Museum of History and $500 to San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles. A motion was made, seconded and carried. Officer Installation was officiated by the Nominating Committee Chair, Pat Grim. The out-going board members were called to the front of the room where Alice Smith presented each with a patriotic block made by her and a thank you note. Then, Pat called the in-coming board members to the front of the room. The positions were briefly described while Heidi presented each one with a chocolate rose.
