on the south side of Hwy 54 just west of the Hwy 5 and Hwy 54 intersection.
The street address is 340 W US Hwy 54.
We voted to have only one meeting a
month in January and February due to so many members being gone and
due to the weather. We will only meet on the 4th Thursdays of those
2 months for a workshop. Officers for 2008 - 2010: President Nancy, VP Carri, Co-Secretaries Pat and Sharon, Treasurer Linda, Member at Large Rita, Librarian Barbara, and Webmaster Karen.

We have added Ruth McDowell's new book on curved piecing to our library. The title is "Piecing Workshop". (The curved piecing book Ann Steffen used in her Free Style Piecing class this past May is now out of print.) Our library is well supplied with books on every subject pertaining
to quilting. There are books on strip quilting, patchwork, miniature
quilts, how to hand and machine quilt and sewing and quilting apparel.
We also have some patterns and several videos. Every member is entitled
to check out these books for one month and then return them.

Banana Nut Bread Mix well - Bake in loaf pan - 350 degrees for 1 hour Cheese Soup In large pan, combine potatoes, water, celery, carrots, onion, parsley, bouillon cubes and seasonings. Mix well, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes or until veggies are tender. Gradually add milk to flour, mixing well. Add milk mixture to veggies and cook until thickened. Add Cheese, stir until melted. Pineapple Delight 1 small can crushed pineapple with juice Bunny Salad Beer Batter Mix (Great for fish, hot dogs, crisp vegetables, etc. Tastes just like
Long John Silvers fish!) Cheesy Chicken & Rice Casserole 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1. Stir the soup, water, rice, vegetables and onion powder in a 12
x 8 shallow baking dish. Note: Recipe can be cut in half for 2. I use only one of the cans of
soup. Sometimes I make all of the rice/veg mixture and only cook what
meat we will eat. Tortilla Pie 1 lb. Hamburger Brown hamburger and drain the fat. Add green chilies and salsa. Can
add taco seasoning if you want (about 2 tsp.) Oven Fries Melt butter in a 9 x 12 pan in 350 deg oven. Peel potatoes and quarter

cheese in a small bag, add potatoes, and shake to coat. Place coated
potatoes in pan of melted butter. Optional - add minced garlic.

Recipe for removing brown spots from quilts / old items: An appliqué tip for small pieces that worked for me was to print out my templates on laser labels, then cut out the templates (leaves) and stick them onto the right side of the fabric and cut out the fabric a scant 1/4 inch away from the label. I needle-turn appliquéd the leaves to the fabric by turning under the seam allowance just to the edge of the template. The label eliminates tracing around all your pieces, no pencil marks to get rid of, helps keep your pieces flat, and you can include your color info or placement info right on the labels. Keep on hand three shades of gray - light, medium and dark. It works for appliqué (silk or cotton) and it works great for piecing too.
When making a baby quilt as a gift, save the scraps. Purchase a color-coordinating stuffed animal, then use the scraps to make a miniature matching quilt for the stuffed animal. Stitch the stuffed animal's hands together so it can "hold" the quilt. Threading your sewing machine -- if the thread is on the spool
in a figure 8 fashion, it needs to come off the top of the spool, so
a vertical spindle works well. Safely discard your old needles in a prescription bottle that has a small whole poked into the lid of the bottle. Make your own spray starch -- add 4 tablespoons of liquid starch to 1 quart of water, bring to a boil then take off burner and allow to cool. Then add 2 more cups of water, mix and store in your refrigerator. Take the yellow out of an old quilt - soak it in a mixture of 1 gallon of water, 1 quart of buttermilk and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Pour this mixture in your washing machine and dunk quilt to make sure all of it is wet. Let soak until quilt is whitened, fill washer with water and rinse on gentle cycle, then run through a gentle wash cycle. Clean the bottom of your iron -- run a hot iron over a layer of salt sprinkled on a piece of brown paper. Another suggestion is to iron over a dryer sheet. Pin a piece of batting to your shirt while sewing - you can slap all your snipped threads to it and you don't have to sweep up or vacuum near as much. Tulle for Quilt Marking: John Flynn's Diagonal
