Meeting program: April meeting program will be a double header! – Karen Owsley and Celia Boland

  1. Jenny Kostroff will give an introduction to Kawandi Quilting.  A traditional Kawandi quilt is hand-stitched and made from scrap fabrics.  In India they are made from colorful old sari fabrics and have tassels on the corners.  We all have scrap stashes with fun fabrics but not enough volume to use to sew in traditional patterns.  This style of quilting allows us to actually use these scraps and is made from the outside in! Jenny is planning to do a free class on this on Monday, May 20th, from 6 to 8 pm.
  2. Tonia Green will be presenting the history of Boro and Sashiko stitching, and modern day uses for the techniques in clothing repair and/or decorative pieces.

From the President – Margaret Donelick

The quilt show is coming up rapidly. The weekend before the show the raffle quilt will be displayed at the Beasley Craft Fair on the WSU Campus. Sue Scott has agreed to get it there, but she needs help with people to take shifts to sell tickets. Please contact her with your availability. Enter your Quilts! Sign up to work the Quilt Show! Hop to it!

June Meeting Request – Karen Owsley and Celia Boland

Call for June meeting mini-programs: We’re going to try something different for the June potluck program. We’d like to have a number of short (5-10 minutes) presentations by members. We think there are probably quite a few people out there who have things to share that would be longer than show-and-tell will allow but shorter than a full program. It can be anything quilting related: a quick and easy technique you learned, a great quilt museum you visited on a trip, helpful information about tools or materials, you name it. If you have something, please contact Celia Boland or Karen Owsley.

Block Exchange Groups – Celia Boland and Juliana Cheatham

Reminder: our final block for the Easy Pieces group is due on Tuesday, April 2. Please bring it to the Palouse Patchers meeting or arrange for someone to bring it for you.

After the show, present your claim check at the fairgrounds between 4:45 and 5:15 pm on Sunday, April 14 to pick up your quilt.

Suggestions for Quilt Show Check In – Celia Boland

  • Know which quilts you brought and what you named them.
  • Please have a label or tag on the back of your quilt.  When looking at the back of your quilt, the label should be on the bottom left. When you check in this is where we will pin the identifying tag.
  • Fold your quilt right side out with this corner up.  This helps speed up the check-in process and aids the runners in refolding the quilts for hanging.
  • No labels or tags hinders our ability to hang your quilt right side up.

Changes to Machine Quilting on Registration Form - Juliana Cheatham

In the past, Palouse Patchers has split machine quilting into categories for pros and amateurs - which used to pretty much be people with long arms (pros) and not (amateurs). Over the years, more amateurs are getting long arms and now there are long arms that do computer-aided quilting. We are seeing other quilt shows split machine quilting into categories to reflect these changes. The quilt entry form still allows you to provide the name of the quilter and specify if that person is a professional so we can continue to credit the quilter on the label that we attach to the front of the quilt. Hand quilting is also still available. New for the 2024 Palouse Patchers quilt show, the form also asks you to select from the new categories for machine quilting:

  • stationary machine quilted - includes domestic machines and sit-down long-arm machines where the sewing machine does not move as you quilt
  • long-arm quilted on frame - free hand or pantograph
  • long-arm quilted on frame - computer aided
