President’s Message WOW! Another great speaker and followed

by a Fashion Show and Trunk Show. Then

guess what, a class where everyone seemed to

be having a good time. Intense, but fun. Elvia

you sure know how to pick the speakers. La-

dies do you know if you take Melinda Bula’s

class at Road or Long Beach you probably

would pay $60-$70 for this class.

Wanted to mention we owe Jack, Elvia’s bet-

ter half a big THANK YOU. He built a stor-

age cabinet to be kept at FPUD so that the 1st

Vice President does not have to haul irons,

ironing boards, electrical cords etc. Now they

are stored in a cabinet. THANK YOU JACK!

March came and went and I pursued a slate

for 2009-2010. I was discouraged when no

one volunteered to chair this committee, but

was encouraged to see some new or newer

members on the list. Thank you. Still open

are: President, Ways & Means, Historian,

Hospitality, Design/Construct, SCCQC Rep

(See back of Directory for duties of each

“JOB”)

Each month Membership Chair Andrea Hard

introduces new members and visitors for

which we are honored to have join us. Some

come from Oceanside, Vista, Temecula etc to

mention a few and we are please you chose to

join us. Look over the list of vacancies as to

this is a good way to become acquainted with

us. To the 2008-2009 Officers and Committee

chairs, it is not too early to jot down your sug-

gestions and duties to pass along to the next

person filling this position. Some of you may

have a procedure book, if not please make up

one. This makes life much eaiser for the new

officer. Happy May, Gigi Sartor, President

Quilts of Love

Thanks to the following quilters that turned in completed quilts to

be distributed to military families at Camp Pendelton: Paula Man-

ning, Carol Kratz (3), Linda Palmer (2) Joyce Raglin (2), Patti

Scott, Lillian Galante, and Marj Freda. Keep up the good work!

Lecture: Painters Path To Quilting!.............................Patt Blair Thursday, May 7th 6:30 pm at Fallbrook Community Center This title sounds pretty straightforward but Patt says she’s not that mentally tidy! Patt proclaims to be in constant battle between left and right brain, and says “that’s not all bad as it keeps a minute amount of order in an otherwise fiber scrappy life-style.” Patt says that’s a nice way of saying she’s messy. Having begun her art path painting oils, then watercolors, Patt’s quilting art focuses largely on life images… especially the simple ones she says… the ones with heart-warming or powerful messages. Most of Patt’s work includes a being with a heart-beat. She says: “It seems to give life to the work.” This lecture includes slides and samples of Patt’s pathway into art quilting. Patt ad-dresses the application of traditional art media into quilting, new materials devel-oped for quilting, tips and examples of machine quilting techniques that support the message in the quilt top, and finally, some ways to finish and hang quilts intended for wall display.

Workshop: Painting on Fabric with Inks……….Patt Blair Saturday, May 9th 9am – 3 pm at the Fallbrook Public Utility District, Board Room You will be amazed at what you can create using these flexible and easy-to-use pig-ment inks made by Tsukineko of Japan. These permanent inks can be used to en-hance commercial fabrics or to create an original art piece painted on clean white fabric. Special fiber stick applicators make painting much simpler than traditional brushing techniques. They are surprisingly easy to use. It’s like crayons for grown ups! You will be amazed and proud of your creation. Paint a landscape, still life, or animal using TSUKINEKO Fabric Inks and special stick applicators. Bring your own artwork or choose from Patt's drawings. If you are inter-ested in attending this workshop call: Elvia Dawson at (951) 694-8023.
