January 2013 Guild Meeting – Mini Workshops
The new year brings the sharing of new techniques to Q.U.I.L.T.S. members with our popular mini workshop meeting. Guild members rotated through 15 minute sessions given by our own fellow members. Kathie Greenwold demonstrated how to make leaf bowls using fusible interfacing, Lynn Lauzon-Russom showed members the “old-is-new” technique to make fast 9-patch blocks, Pat Cunningham shared her English paper piecing skills and Pat Piniasik showed how to make “Mary’s fast triangles.”
The meeting also included a fabulous show & tell of quilts, table runners, wall hangings and a Christmas stocking made by our talented members.

December 2012 Guild Meeting
December’s monthly meeting was the Guild’s Annual Holiday Celebration which featured a trunk show by Lucille Makrin from Cambridge, NY. Lucille shared her life’s journey of quilting which began with the Bi-Centennial resurgence of quilting in the mid-70’s and continues through the present day. Guild Members were awed by Lucille’s potpourri of quilts which ranged from traditional to “artsy.”
Following the trunk show, a short business meeting was held, attendees shared desserts and finger foods and viewed yet another magnificent Show & Tell of quilts made by our own members. As is a Q.U.I.L.T.S. holiday tradition, guild members brought in donations of hats, mittens and gloves for Northern Rivers Family Services (which includes Northeast Parent and Child and Parsons Child and Family Center) and also donations of personal care items for the women at Family Life Center at the Schenectady City Mission.

November 2012 Guild Meeting – Annual Sew In for Kids
The November Guild Meeting was the Guild’s annual Sew-In for Northern Rivers Kids (formerly Northeast Parent & Child Society). At this meeting, members work together to sew together tops for donation to the Northeast Parent & Child Society. The sewing began at 4:30 and continued into the evening, with a short break for pizza, tossed salad and a business meeting. There was no Show & Tell at this meeting.
Members should make their best attempt to return the completed quilt tops along with backing and binding fabrics by the December 2012 Guild meeting. This will allow the committee time to measure and associate battings so that these quilts can be tied during the February 2013 Tie-In.
