SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM DONA REGARDING COVID-19
To my Fellow Guild members,
The quilt show scheduled for April 18 & 19, 2020 has been cancelled. This is a big disappointment for me but I feel it is the right thing to do.
But I need your help to meet a NJ legal obligation. No matter what the situation is on April 19th, we are legally bound to choose a winner for the raffle quilt on that date. Currently many ticket stubs and ticket books are still with our members. To give everyone an equal chance of winning, please send your checks and ticket stubs or unsold ticket books to:
Donna DeAngelis
118 Narbeth Drive—( Yes Narbeth, the directory has the spelling wrong.)
Toms River, NJ 08757
Yes, we need even the tickets that were not sold returned. NJ law requires us to save them for 3 years in case of an audit.
More decisions are still to come. I am in the process of contacting the quilt show committee chairpersons on their needs. Please email me if you have specific concerns that need immediate consideration.
Dona

Guild Information
Jody Beck, October 16, 2020 Guest Speaker
"Jody's Jems Journey and Demo" Lecture
Her Biography:
Jody Beck has been sewing, crafting, and creating ever since she can remember. She picked up quilting in 2000 & started teaching and writing patterns in 2003. She's been privileged to have her Jody's Jems patterns sold in shops from Hawaii to Key West, FL and has customers who love her designs from as far away as Australia and the UK. "The Art of Quilt Design" is a power point presentation of how Jody created her Jody's Jems designs. (She emailed: "Power point and recorded demo did not fly well." So Beachplum Guild will see her live presentation, Jody's Jems Journey and Demo.)
She has lived in 10 states with her husband of 38 years and has taught quilting in Arizona, New England, and Pennsylvania since 2003. Jody will demonstrate her techniques. Please visit her website in advance of her lecture on October 16th.... Patterns are available for sale at:

"Bespoke Blooms"
The Story of Our Quilt
Robin Pandolph designed the pattern called "Bespoke Blooms".On her travels to Southwest England in June 2008, she was inspired to create 12 blocks, each named after a little village in Somerset. A friend of our guild donated this kit of fabrics and the pattern to our guild member, Mary G, with the request that it be used for fund raising purposes for the guild. The following members did the applique work: Sue G, Rita R, Jackie P, Shirley M, Ellen H, and Joyce W.
The piecing was done by Janet P.
The binding was done by Jane S.

"Quilters Newsletter has held a very special place in the hearts of quilting enthusiasts for 47 years, and has been a source of inspiration and learning for quilters around the world. However, the magazine will no longer be published after the October/November 2016 issue. (Quilters Newsletter subscribers will receive Quilting Arts magazine beginning with the December/January 2017 issue, or they may select another F + W quilt publication. Call 800-477-6089 for information.
While the print version of Quilters Newsletter is going away, free quilt patterns, historical content and other information will still be available online at quiltersnewsletter.org. And Quilters Newsletter digital patterns, eBooks, digital magazines and other quality products will continue to be available at quiltandsewshop.com.
Quilters Newsletter began publication in September 1969 and was founded by Bonnie and George Leman. It was the first - and for many years the only magazine devoted solely to the interests of quiltmakers. Bonnie composed the first issue on a manual typewriter at her kitchen table, and the day it was published was the same day she gave birth to the youngest of her seven children.
That day marked the beginning of an international phenomenon. Many quilt historians agree that Bonnie almost single-handedly launched a quilting revival around the time of the U.S. Bicentennial in 1976 by researching and publishing information about a domestic pastime that had fallen out of vogue since the end of the Great Depression and the onset of World War II. No one can deny that she shaped and guided that revival during subsequent decades.
Bonnie Leman and Quilters Newsletter will forever be linked to the history of quiltmaking in the U.S. and abroad. It's a legacy that will never be forgotten.
F + W, Quilters Newsletter's parent company, is committed to the quilt industry and will continue to serve the community by publishing magazines, creating videos, digital patterns, online education, books, in-person events, ecommerce products, and more under the brands of Fons & Porter, McCall's Quilting, Quiltmaker, Quilting Arts, Keepsake Quilting, and Original Sewing & Quilt Expo. We will continue to evolve in order to serve a community with ever-changing habits and media preferences."
"Happy quilting!

National Quilting Day
National Quilting Day is observed the third Saturday each March. Make a quilt and post it on social media site: #NationalQuiltingDay
This
Next year, National Quilting Day is March 20, 2021
National Quilting Day is a special holiday, set aside to celebrate quilts and quiltmakers - past, present, and future.
The National Quilting Association, Inc. began sponsoring National Quilting Day with a resolution passed by members attending the 22nd Annual Quilt Show in Lincoln, Nebraska, in June 1991. The third Saturday in March is officially designated as National Quilting Day, but over the years, observance of National Quilting Day has unofficially been expanded to the whole month of March!
National Quilting Day gives us the opportunity to reflect with pride on the traditions of quiltmaking and the contributions quiltmakers have made to their families and communities for many generations.
A Brief History of National Quilting Day
In 1989, the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society organized a "Quilter's Day Out" on the third Saturday of March to celebrate the rich tradition of quiltmaking in Kentucky. In 1991, the NQA officers were so enthused with the concept and success of "Quilters' Day Out that they voted to take it to a national level.
The first National Quilting Day was observed in 1992 and since then it has grown into a global celebration for all quiltmakers and quilt lovers. Helen Storbeck, one of the founders of National Quilting Day, wrote in The Quilting Quarterly, "Groups of quilters were encouraged to hold special events, publishers and shop owners were invited to sponsor promotions especially for quilters and it quickly became a grassroots endeavor with quilters in every part of the country participating. In the first year of National Quilting Day, quilters in other countries asked to participate. They were welcomed with open arms. As our feelings of a community network have evolved to include a world community, it is only appropriate that quilters and quilt lovers everywhere united to give recognition to the special art form."
The 2014 free Pattern supplied by The National Quilting Association is Stash Attack in the Archived Documents section.

Our Past Quilt Shows
The Guild puts together a biennial (taking place every other year) quilt show in the even years. Members display the quilts they have made since the last show. This is a major fund raiser for the guild's activities, including gifting hundreds of charity quilts over the years. These funds are also used for our programs and activities, including guest teachers and lecturers, workshops, etc. Our quilt shows give us the opportunity to have our work judged by a professional, with awards presented in a variety of categories. Money donated at our shows goes directly into keeping this cottage industry alive and well for many years to come.

Preparing Your Quilt For A Long Arm Quilter
By Tammie Ruffle, 1601 Timber Run, Nashville, TN 37214, (908) 421-1435
- All seams are stitched securely-especially the outside perimeter. When the quilt is loaded on the rollers of the long-arm, the fabric is stretched taut. If you have not backstitched those outside seams, they may pull apart. (Stay stitching around quilt 1/8" is a viable option)
- Remove any selvages before piecing your back - they do not stretch and can cause puckers and may not lay flat.
- Square your quilt top, but more importantly, square the back. If you piece the back, make sure it is trimmed square.
- Please press your seams, (front and back). Press them as flat as you can.
- For flat borders, measure your quilt center, and on the 2 outside edges where the borders will attach. Take an average of the three and that is the border length. This applies to both directions.
- Trim all your loose threads. You aren't going to like seeing dark thread tails behind your lighter color fabric.
- Backing and batting must be 6-8" longer and 6-8" wider than the quilt top. Quilters need that much extra to ensure that our grips to the sides of the quilts will distribute the tension evenly. The grips will get in the way of the machine if there is not enough extra fabric for the back. This can cause "wobbles" in the quilting if there is not enough back fabric.
- If you have pre-washed your fabric for the quilt top, you should pre-wash your fabric for the back to avoid any uneven shrinkage.
- Bring each layer( top, batting, backing) separately, (do not baste them together).
- If you have a directional quilt or back, please place a safety pin at the top if you have a preference.
- Press your back.
- Please embellish your quilt AFTER it has been quilted.
What To Consider Before the Consultation
- Your Budget. High end custom will cost you much more than an edge to edge design.
- Possible designs you might like ( you will get some suggestions from the long-arm quilter)
- Thread color - do you like contrast or do you like the thread to blend in?

Quilt Appraisals By Karen Dever
e-Mail: njquiltappraisr@aol.com
mobile: (856) 816-6628
Is Grandma's quilt really priceless? Or now that you have a winner's ribbon from the local quilt show, should you be concerned that someone might want to steal your quilt? Would you want your quilts replaced if something does happen to them? Perhaps it is time to consult a certified appraiser of quilted textiles!
Learning what a quilted textile is worth for insurance purposes or market value does not happen in the same manner as it does on a certain popular television show. Getting a quilted textile appraised requires an examination of the item on the spot,and perhaps follow-up research. If you have ever wondered how much you should insure Granny's quilt for or what the replacement cost would be of your recent masterpiece, contact Ms. Dever to learn more about your quilted item.
Karen Dever, a certified appraiser with AQS (American Quilt Society) and a member of the Professional Association of Appraisers - Quilted Textiles (PAAQT), will be able to appraise quilts, to answer questions about quilt valuation, to give advice on quilt care, and to admire the hard work of quilters known and unknown.
Appraisals can be completed on new and old quilts, both traditional and non-traditional, and quilted garments.
To book an appointment, contact her e-mail. She will be taking appointments for our next show. Book her early because she usually is busy.
