The PDF is a ‘form; you can type into the fields.  But it won’t let you save it — only  print .  It still might be better than handwriting for some

For those with Microsoft Office, here’s a “.doc” that you can save: Star Survey Sheet

When you’ve finished, please return your survey to Joyce Noell.

Join Quilt Guilds all over Virginia to raise funds for the Virginia Quilt Museum!

Create a small Christmas quilt that is no larger than 6 inches and send it to the
Virginia Quilt Museum by July 31, 2012. Visitors to the Museum will vote on
their favorite small quilt ornaments and three quilters will win prizes. The first
prize is a $25 gift certificate, the second a $15 certificate and the third a $10
certificate. The certificates can be redeemed in the museum shop.
All of the handmade Christmas ornaments will be sold in the museum shop to
support museum operations and the preservation of quilts.  Send ornaments, your name and address to

Virginia Quilt Museum, 301 S. Main Street

We have about six people started on their Bonnie Hunter journey.   But its not too late for you to join the fun.   Some people are still picking out their patterns.   You can find Bonnie Hunter books at quilt stores or look at free patterns on quiltville.com.   You can do these quilts on your own, in groups or join some of us at Quiltessas (next meeting June 1 at Our Lady of Nazareth Catholic Church from 10 to 2).   Betty Tyree is the resident expert on these quilts so if you have questions she is usually there to help.

I was so inspired by the Program on 9-patches I picked a pattern using them. I’ve just finished 10 of the 3 1/2″ finished 9-patch blocks. Only 390 left to go.   I bet Joyce Noell doesn’t even pin these things.   We are all going to be left in Donna’s dust as she almost has her blocks done.   So be careful in picking your pattern. The good news is that the piecing on most of these quilts is suitable for everyone – if you can do a 4-patch or half-square triangle you can make these quilts. The idea is just to have fun.

Many of the quilts use scraps and “shirtings”. Carolyn Nelson just let me know she has gotten in 7 bolts of the shirtings so if you need a background to go with all of those scraps you can get them at Old Trinity. Isn’t it funny how much fabric you have to buy to make a “scrap” quilt? Well I can’t wait to see these new shirtings – they are always a good thing to have in the stash.

Next show meeting: Thursday, May 3 from 6:30 to 8:30
at Creative Quilting on Peters Creek Road.

We need volunteers for a few more Show Coordinators. What we have so far is below.  Please tell me if I have left anyone off or if I have put you down as a volunteer and you cannot.

We need someone for….
