Lenore Crawford

“Create Your Own Flower”

After working in a hospital lab and then chemical research for many years,

Lenore Crawford wanted to pursue her passion for art as a full-time endeavor.

She has worked in many different media, including pen and ink, acrylics, wood,

and others, and became intrigued with fabric. She has developed her own fiber

art style and technique and calls it ―Impressionistic Fabric Blending‖ using 2-

inch squares of hundreds of different fabrics cut randomly and assembled to

create a sort of fabric ―painting.‖ Currently she is using fusing and fabric paints

to create her fiber art. She has been lecturing on and teaching the fusing

technique (she developed) to quilt guilds, private students, and quilt shows

nationally and internationally. She has won numerous prizes for her work at art

shows and quilt shows across the country. Her technique was published in the

Quilters’ Newsletter Magazine and American Quilter Magazine, and her

electronic book called ―Impressionistic Fabric Blending – Create Your Own Art

Quilt‖ was well received. She also was featured on Kaye Wood‘s Quilting

Friends PBS program in Episode #1607. A native Midlander, Lenore loves to

travel to France to visit with friends.

Downton Abbey Quilt Kit

In support of our challenge to bring Downton Abbey

quilt projects to September‘s Show and Share, Peggy

Engel of the Hen Feathers Quilt Shop has donated a

complete kit for the Downton Abbey quilt that was

designed by our own Jennifer Blickenstaff. We will have

a special Sponsor Drawing to select the winner of this

kit. All members who attend, either the afternoon or

evening session, will be eligible. We will have entry

forms at the Hospitality Table. Just write your name and

phone number on the form and drop it in the box at the

table. We will draw the winning entry at the evening

PQG session.

The PQG challenge is coming in

September.

The kits will go on sale at the September Guild

Meeting.

Join in and take the challenge!

Challange

By Nila Albrecht

2 Prairie Quilt Guild

The striking woman to the right is saying ―Thank

You‖ to me and she is paying me a very great honor. She

is Tami Regev, the wife of an Israeli Air Force officer and

a friend of ours since the mid 1970‘s. Although friends

for nearly 45 years, we‘ve seen them only twice in the

past 40 years. Nearly every spring during those years,

Tami invited us to come to tour Israel; but we were

always afraid to go because of the Middle East turmoil.

Finally, we recognized that, if we were going to see the

biblical sites, we had to go while we were still healthy

enough to handle the walking.

Tami and her husband, Zeev, welcomed us into their

home for nearly three weeks and escorted us to every holy

and secular site we wanted to see.

They showed us unique restaurants such as the Old

Man and the Sea owned by an Arab family, which served

us St. Peter‘s fish and a salad consisting of 20 different

delicious plates. They took us to the Tel Aviv symphony

where we enjoyed a medley of Mozart pieces. One

evening we slept in a kibbutz where we met a woman

whose husband made his living growing cherries. Her

son just happened to be the maestro of the Seville opera

house. We went to the Carmel Market and sampled

olives and the most delicious pita bread I ever tasted. An

old Bedouin woman was baking it on a domed grill.

(Mind you, I am the grandson of a baker, so I know

bread.)

In Jerusalem we celebrated Sabbath prayers in the

Synagogue of the Hadassah Medical Center with its 12

Marc Chagall, stained-glass windows. The next morning

we celebrated 6 a.m. Mass in the Church of All Nations in

the Garden of Gethsemane. Since it was too early for the

tourists, we had the holy site to ourselves -- what a

moving experience. Climbing to the Mount of Olives,

Susan took her picture with a camel. Upon entering the

old city, we toured the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa

Mosque before descending to the Wailing Wall. The

Dome is sacred to three religions: The site of the second

Jewish temple, the place where Jesus worshiped, and the

location of a Muslim shrine since 1187. Al Aqsa is the

place to which Muhammad was transported from the

was so expensive, I‘m now afraid to cut it for the quilt I

had planned.

After departing Jerusalem, Susan walked in the River

Jordan and the Sea of Galilee and we toured the

Synagogue in Capernaum. (It was here that our bank

called and told us that someone had tried to use our

account to buy $10,000 in construction material. We also

noted that Susan cannot walk on water.) In Nazareth, we

saw the most beautiful Church of the Annunciation whose

walls are adorned with incredible mosaics from more

nations than I could count. Upon arriving in Haifa, we

were treated to breathtaking gardens of the Shrine of the

Bab, which is the world headquarters of the Baha‘i faith,

a monotheistic religion committed to the unity of

humanity.

Upon returning to Tel Aviv, Susan and I presented

Tami this Menorah quilt we had paper-pieced. For

Passover this year, Tami sent the photo of our quilt

hanging in her dining room in appreciation of our gift.

Now I must also express my appreciation for this

most wonderful year you have given me. I can truly say it

has been the most pleasurable year of my life. You have

spoiled me like a beloved brother. When I meet you on

the street, you introduce me to your friends. When I ask

for help, you give it. You laugh at my stupid jokes and

critique my campy stories. I know it was you who gave

Annie Calowich all those nice things she said about me.

One of you even honored me with the gift of a quilt in

July. I only wish I could create for you a thank you card

as nice as the one that Tami sent me. THANK YOU!

I especially thank my wife, Susan, for the support that

made this year even possible and Evelyn Gernaat for

advising me through many difficult decisions.

Create Your Own Flower

Lenore Crawford

http://www.lenorecrawford.com/

In this workshop on DAY ONE students will learn how to make their own pattern from a photo and create a fused

detailed flower art quilt using Lenore‘s simple fusing technique. Working from an 11‖ X 14‖ or larger photo of their

own or Lenore‘s, students will make a freezer paper pattern and use it to create a flower with their own fabrics. She will

show students how to select appropriate fabrics and add fine detail and shading to the flower with fabric paints. On

DAY TWO students will finish their design with fabric paints and stitching. Lenore will also show students how to

complete it with her simple binding technique. $10 supplies fee required.

SEPTEMBER'S 2-DAY WORKSHOP

Library Lines By Olivia Jacobs

The PQG library is adding a new series of novels to

our quilting fiction section called Annie‘s Quilted

Mysteries. The first book in the series, A Patchwork

Murder, has arrived and promises to keep us reading to

discover clues surrounding the death of Rose, a dear

friend of the Nimble Thimbles quilting bee in Mystic

Harbor, Massachusetts. An old quilt holds the clues that

will send Emma and Kelly on their quest of discovery.

This first book introduces the lovable characters who are

warned to leave the past alone. That warning, however,

only makes Emma more determined to find the truth.

Emily examines the old quilt and determines that each

block in the twelve-block quilt gives her a clue.

As an added bonus, at the end of each book is a block

inspired by the story. You can create your own mystery

sampler quilt by stitching each block. At the end of the

series, the last pattern will include finishing instructions

to put together a quilt designed by Cotton & Grace. What

fun would that be! Come by the library and check it out.

The library will continue to accept donations of books

and magazines. Those that are needed in the collection

will be added for all to share. The others will be offered to

guild members at one of the two sales that the library will

hold to raise money to sustain its operations. Because of

the limited storage space allocated to the library at the

Downtown Senior Center, you may consider giving your

donations or fabric and other quilting-related items to the

Charity Quilt Committee, the Kids Camp Committee, or

Cares and Concerns

Contact Kathy Huebert at kahuebertks@gmail.com

or call 316-721-5160 if you know of any members who

need to be added to this list.

the El Dorado prison project. Check with those chair

people to determine the best way to put your donations to

use. We thank you for your past donations to the library.

The librarians encourage you to search the guild‘s

library collection online. It‘s as simple as clicking on the

stack of books on the right-hand side of the guild‘s home

page at www.pqgks.com. Then comes the one tricky part

of the equation. When the Library Things page appears,

there will be two bars running across the screen. The top

bar is dark brown and contains a Search-site rectangle.

Do NOT use this part. Instead, go down to the second

bar, which is a light blue/gray. A rectangular block will

appear that says Search this library. This is the section

you will want to use to access the books our guild owns.

I know this is somewhat confusing, but it is the way the

company, Library Thing, designed its site. We are just

happy to be able to offer you an online catalog of the

library‘s books. If you want help using this catalog, come

by the library at any of the meetings and Tami and I will

be happy to help you navigate the site. There is also a

paper listing of our holdings on display at each meeting.

Hoffman Challenge

Nancy Staton of the Prairie Quilt Guild recently won

2 nd place in the 2014 Hoffman Challenge ―Mixed

Technique‖ category for her quilt ―Lurking in the Corners

of My Mind.‖

PQG Members Win Awards in

Colorado

The ―Vintage Moments‖ quilt, a collaboration of Jan

Zimmerman, who pieced and appliquéd the quilt, and Jan

Hutchison, who quilted the quilt, earned a 2 nd place

ribbon in the Longmont, Colorado, show.

Our two award-winning members also earned a 3rd

place ribbon for their quilt ―2003 Times and Seasons‖ in

Longmont. In July, this quilt had previously acquired

―Best of Show‖ recognition in our own Common

Threads Quilt Show.

FABRIC:

Background—From a 1 ½-inch wide strip, cut one 5½-inch, one 4½-inch, two

2½-inch, and two 1½-inch strips. Also, cut one 4½-inch by 7½-inch, one 3½-

inch by 5½, one 3-inch by 3½-inch, two 2½-inch by 3½-inch strips, one 2-inch

square, four 1¼-inch squares, twelve 1-inch squares, and four ¾-inch squares.

Balls—From 6 scraps, cut one 3½ square, one 2½-inch square, one 2-inch square

and one 1½-inch square. From the last two scraps, cut one 2½-inch square and a

1-inch by 4-inch strip.

Section 1: Assemble the 2½-inch ball by sewing 1-inch background squares

diagonally to each corner, press, and trim. Sew 1½-inch by 2½-inch background

to top and bottom of Ball, sew 1½-inch by 4½-inch background to left side, and

four ½-inch by 7½-inch background pieces to right-hand side.

Section 2: Assemble 3½-inch Ball by sewing 1¼-inch background squares

diagonally to each corner, press, and trim. Sew 2½-inch by 3½-inch background

to left side and the 3½-inch by 5½-inch background to the bottom.

Section 3: To assemble the Balls in this section, sew ¾-inch background squares

diagonally to each corner of 1½-inch Ball, and 1-inch background squares

diagonally to each corner, press, and trim. To assemble the last 2½-inch Ball,

cut in half diagonally, then sew the 1-inch by 4-inch strip in the middle, trim to

2½-inch square. Now, sew 1-inch background squares diagonally to each

corner, press, and trim. To assemble this section, sew 1½-inch background

squares to each side of the 1½-inch ball, sew 2-inch background to the right-

hand side of 2-inch ball, and sew the 3-inch by 3½-inch background to bottom of

2-inch Ball unit. Next, attach the 1½-inch Ball section to the bottom of this unit.

Sew the 2½-inch by 3½-inch background to top of 3½-inch ball, sew this unit to

left side of the other unit, and sew the 1½-inch by 5½-inch background to the

bottom.

Sew each section together as illustrated below. All the blocks are completed for

this year‘s Block-of-the-Month. I planned the blocks to be assembled in rows 1-

4, 5-8, and 9-12, left to right (see layout).

“The Persian Pickle Club” By Donna Loehr Have you seen the pictures of your smiling faces on

The Persian Pickle Club‘s Facebook page? If not, you

need to check it out – you are beautiful! There also is a

close-up view of Ella‘s quilt – you all need to

congratulate yourselves on a job well done!

At the August meeting, I announced that I had cut 5-

inch squares out of the remaining fabrics so that each of

you (if you want – I am not forcing you) can have a

square of fabric from Ella‘s quilt. I will also have this

available at the September meeting so, if you were unable

to attend the August meeting and would like a 5-inch

square; you still have an opportunity to claim yours.

Aurifil donated all of the thread for all of the quilts

constructed for The Persian Pickle Club movie. I had ten

spools left from the production/construction of the quilts

Nelda Lee Ellington

August 3, 1937 – June 14, 2014

and extended family. She enjoyed hand- and machine-

quilting, such as table runners, wall hangings, seasonal

items, bed quilts, and lap quilts. She enjoyed attending

the regional Quilt Shop Hops and, when traveling, she

would frequent the quilt shops in the town she was

visiting. She adopted the motto ―She who dies with the

most fabric wins!‖ She definitely was a top contender!

She loved spending her time attending the PQG Quilt

Guild meetings, programs, workshops, and Quilt Room

Tours. She especially loved her Quilting Bee group ―The

Needlers‖ whom she met with twice a month to quilt,

socialize, offer show-n-tell, or just take a field trip

together. She also collected quilts by others through

auctions, benefits, and gifts. She has numerous quilts

from her grandmother and mother that are and will

continue to be family heirlooms.

Community Quilt Camps

Do you know a group that wants to learn to quilt?

Get a few (4 to 8) friends together and we will help

you plan a quilt camp just for your group, including

church groups, scout groups, senior citizen groups, family

and friends groups, etc. (as long as all participants are at

least 8 years of age.

Prairie Quilt Guild will provide:

Up to 4 sewing stations complete with instructor,

sewing machines, quilting tools, iron and ironing board,

as well as suggestions for beginning projects at no fee.

Your group must provide:

A room with adequate electricity, tables, chairs,

consumable materials (fabrics, threads, batting, etc.), and

pay for all fees/costs, if any, for the camp.

(PQG grant forms are available to apply for help with

costs.)

Days and times are flexible.

The project your group chooses will determine the

number of hours needed. Once a project is chosen, a

schedule can be set.

Check it out – the kids have so much fun and are so

proud of their accomplishments. Contact Freema Covey

(316-250-9799) or Sue Gilliam (316-683-1250).

and I randomly drew names of recipients to receive these

ten spools of Aurifil. I still have four spools (out of the

six claimed at the August meeting) and the four recipients

are Sharon Laughlin, Sheila Pritchard, Leslie Snodgrass,

and Aleta Vogt. I will have these spools of Aurifil

Thread at the September meetings for you to pick-up. If

for some reason you will not be able to attend either

September meeting, please contact me to make

arrangements to pick-up your thread

(cr8ivemama@yahoo.com).

On a personal note, I want to thank every one of you

again for your contribution on this project! You ARE the

best and made my job of organization so much easier, and

I truly enjoyed working with each one of you!

Thank you.

When Nelda was a young child,

her grandmother introduced her

to quilting and instilled in her

the passion for all things

quilted. She focused primarily
