[03/24/21]   What is a Batik?
A batik (buh-teek) is an Indonesian wax-resist dyeing technique in which wax is applied to fabric in specific areas, whether by hand or with a copper stamp. When the wax hardens, the fabric is submerged in dye - a process that can involve several dippings, dryings, and colors! The fabric is then boiled to remove the wax, revealing areas untouched by dye. Then the process starts again!

This technique creates fabric that appears cracked, marbled, and perfectly imperfect. Every yard is vibrant and always unique, each slightly different than the last thanks to the hand of a skilled artisan

Received the most beautiful and unique get well card yesterday from one of our program leaders Wendy Rice! So creative, by far my favorite card yet! Also, I can not thank everyone enough who has sent me get well cards over the past 2 weeks. I have received overwhelming love and prayers from our guild members and am truly touched by the support. Healing is going as best it can for me being an inpatient person! Below is just some of the cards that both myself and Marianne Stuparits have received (Mariannes cards from her heart attack just 2 weeks before my accident)

Yay!!

We painted a lot of fabric pieces in Nancy's class. Anxious to see what everyone will make out of them.

We had a wonderful Zoom presentation from Nancy Roelfsema on Jan. 11, 2021. Nancy did a trunk show of her past and present quilts and a little history of her family. Very interesting. Nancy has lots of video tutorials on You Tube. check out her videos and information at:

She then talked about Creative Painting on Fabric, in preparation for our class on Jan. 27. Pictures in another post.

From our member Cyndi Jones Phillip....
"Today I made a project from the weekly “Sweet and Simple” 6 project classes with Barb Lewis at My Girlfriends Quilt Shoppe. It is a cover for a Composition Book with a zipper pocket on the top. It coordinates with the fold away bag I made last week.
Love the online classes offered at this shop. Barb is a great teacher. They record the classes and send you a replay. Very handy. Barb is already working on her next set of classes. They even offer children’s classes. "

Bloom Challenge Reveal 200

Carol Keen and Jackie Fisher challenged the members of Lighthouse Quilt Guild to make a small wall hanging or table topper with two fat quarters provided by another member in a blind exchange. No one knew who had their fabric until the day of the reveal. Many had not remembered what theirs was since it had been many months since the challenge was launched. 21 members made a quilt of their own design or from a pattern and gifted it back to the person whose fabric they had. There were many happy smiles and surprises! Check out all these blooms and smiles!

Hope everyone had a great summer despite all the sadness going on all around us. Just want to remind you all that this is the last week to send us your completed sailboat ⛵️ blocks! We are hoping to have enough to make 2 wallhanings so we need some more! Here are some examples to get you excited about going through your stash of fun colors and prints!

Hope everyone is having a fabulous summer despite the sadness going on all around us. Just want to remind everyone to get in their sailboat blocks this week. We are trying to get enough to have 2 wall hangings up for raffle! This is the last week to send them to the girls. Check your instructions for the address to send the completed ones to!!! Here are just a few examples to get you exited...

Librarian bought this book for the library when we ever get back to normal at the church! If someone wants it now just send me an email and maybe I can drop off to you!

[07/10/20]   Hope all you members are staying cool in this heat wave! I hope you all received your special surprise in the mail ⛵️.
Mail your finished block to me using the address in the letter.
If you would like to be put on the list to make a second boat for a second chance at the lottery don’t forget to make a note of it when you send your first block in.
Thank you to the team that is leading this project and keeping us together as a guild. Carol keen, Jackie Baden, Elizabeth Clark and kim Frisch.

[04/10/20]   WORDS OF WISDOM ON GETTING THROUGH EACH DAY
FROM ELIZABETH AND WHAT SHE DOES.

I talk on the phone a lot with local friends and my old pals around the country. It helps. I have a 4-point program
for fighting this crisis: 1) Get outside for a walk or just some fresh air; 2) Bake something not only for the
product, but also for the fragrance; 3) Have long talks with friends; and 4) Get out of your bra [in the 60's we
burned them] and feel free.

Anyone else have any tidbits to add, please let us know so we can post.
