Community Quilts
 At the October meeting, I will have some more quilts that need binding. Since we don't have a meeting in November due to Election Day, I would ask that if you take a quilt to bind that you wait to return it to me in January. Due to the holidays and guests coming to my house, I won't have room to store them and I won't have time to take them to be donated.  Thanks.
Carol G., Community Quilts Chair
 
Quilt Retreat 2023
 Just a reminder that we will begin taking registrations for the Quilting with My Peeps retreat at the October meeting. As many of you know, these spots fill up quickly and we only have 78 spots available. You will need to make at least the $50 deposit in order to pick your seat. Be sure to choose your seat carefully. Spots fill up quickly and you won’t be able to request a different spot later. If you want to sit with friends, they will need to be present and pay their deposit or you can bring their deposit with you. The committee is working to make this another great retreat and look forward to Quilting with our Peeps!
 Carol G., Retreat Chair
  
Quilt Show 2024
Raffle quilt block kits will be available at the October meeting to sign out for you to take home and work on. Each block is paper pieced and we ask that they be returned without trimming being done. Deadline for completion and return is the January meeting. There are 25 blocks total so your help would be greatly appreciated. 
If for any reason you complete the blocks prior to January and would like to turn them in or can’t make the January meeting, please reach out to me and arrangements can be made to get the blocks from you.
Thank you!
 Emilie T., Quilt Show Chair
 
Quilt of Valor News
The October 11 guild meeting is our turn-in date for our Scrap Busting Block Drive!  We have 20 members who are participating and we look forward to seeing the blocks that everyone has made!  Some of you have already turned in your blocks and we have made a few tops already with some of the sets.  If you already turned in your blocks, please stop by the QOV table at the meeting to pick up your "Thank You"!  If your blocks are not done, or you won't be at the meeting, please e-mail me and we can work out an alternative solution.  Thank you to all who participated!!
 
The other big news is that we have a new Quilts of Valor coordinator!  Patty H., a guild member who has long worked with our Quilt of Valor group in sew-ins and presentations, has volunteered to lead the project beginning in March 2023!!  Patty has mega sewing experience, has a son who is in the military, and she worked at Wright-Patt for many years.  She will be a natural at this!  We are very excited that she is willing to lead and organize the project.  
 
I will continue with sew-ins, presentations, etc. until the end of December.  Patty will have neck surgery right after Christmas and will be recuperating for about a month afterwards.  The two of us will make the transition of fabric, patterns, computer work, etc. in February and she'll begin sew-ins, presentations, etc. in March.  I know that our "regulars" have already pledged their support for Patty, and know that the rest of the guild will as well!
 
Right now, we have two sew-ins a month - one at Sharing Stitches in Xenia and one at Crestview Baptist Church in Clayton.  We have kept these sew-ins small during the COVID time, but if you are interested in participating, please let me know!

A fellow guild member wanted to pass along that the owner, Darlene Griffith, of Quilted Christmas, is going out of business. In an effort to downsize her inventory, she is putting hundreds and hundreds of bolts on sale for $6/yd. More importantly, though, she has decided to entertain shoppers in her home on an appointment basis. You are sure to have fun perusing bolts upon bolts of all types of high quality fabrics. Her home is located in Germantown. Please contact her through her website QUILTEDCHRISTMAS.COM to set up your excursion.

NEWS FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT
 
Tuesday, September 13, Gyleen X. Fitzgerald, quilter and writer, will give her presentation: Path to Modern. On Wednesday, September 14, Gyleen will teach her Caribbean Star 2 class from 
9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Cost - Guild Members - $45, Non-Guild Members - $50. There is also a pattern fee and required tool; both may be purchased from Gyleen. 

There are 5 openings for Gyleen's class. Please remember our new policy pertaining to workshop/class cancellations. But after looking at class fees for the Houston International Quilt Show, very few classes are less than $75 with all day classes ranging from $75 to $175. We are very fortunate to have Gyleen and may other national and/or international teachers. 

There will be no show and tell for September due to our having a national speaker.
 
Looking ahead to our October meeting. It would be great to have you, our talented guild members, share some easy and fun Christmas gift ideas. Please send me an email at mvqgvp22@gmail.com if you would like to participate in a short demo. Show and tell will return at this meeting.

RETREAT TIME!
 
It is time to start thinking about our annual retreat.  The Retreat Committee has been working on our plan to make sure you have a great retreat. The Retreat will be held at the Wingate Hotel in Fairborn February 18-20, 2023. The theme this year is "Quilting with My Peeps". Click here for registration packet information.
 
We will start taking registrations at our October 11 meeting beginning at 6 p.m. We will have the seating chart there and you will be able to pick your spot, providing, of course, that you have paid your $50 deposit. Spots fill up quickly so if you have plans to sit with friends, make sure you all get your registrations and $50 in early to ensure that you get a spot.
 
We are all looking forward to the retreat and hope that you can join us this year.

QUILTS OF VALOR
 
I hope that all of you who signed up are working on your blocks for our Scrap Busting Block Drive!!  Please bring your blocks to the OCTOBER meeting - looking forward to seeing how everyone uses their scraps!  Thank you for participating!
 
We continue to work on our two big QOV presentations for the fall - 7 quilts for Crestview Baptist Church in Clayton for October and 14 quilts for the Beavercreek Senior Center in November.  Thanks to all who are helping with piecing, quilting, and binding (and making pillowcases)!  Things are going according to schedule!
 
So, now to the hard part - some of you know that the Ginsburgs are in the process of building a house (getting on one floor, 5 miles away from where we live now), which will hopefully be finished by March-April 2023.  Between the building of the house, decluttering and packing up the present house, moving, then getting the present house ready to sell, much has been added to our lives.  Because of that, there has to be some subtraction of other things.  
 
After coordinating our Quilts of Valor project for the last 10 years, I will be stepping aside at the end of this year.  Together, we have honored so many veterans and I'm grateful to all of you for this shared endeavor.  Because we have had such great participation in this project, I am hoping that one (or two) people will feel called (as I really do believe that it is a ministry) to coordinate and lead the group/guild in continuing our work, as there are many veterans and active military in the area who would love to be honored with a Quilt of Valor!  We have great systems and resources in place, so it is not something where you have to "reinvent the wheel", (plus I'm a phone call away for consultation).  The friendships that have been made will always be treasured, and are a wonderful by-product of all of our hard work.  If you are interested in helping to continue this project, I can fill you in with the details.

What a wonderful response to our Scrap Busting Block Drive!!  We have 17 quilters signed up to make 12 blocks from our scraps (6 fat quarters each).  Blocks will be due at the October guild meeting.  Each kit will come with more detailed instructions.  Be sure to pick up your kit at the July meeting!  If you can't be there, please try to have someone else pick it up for you.  We do have a few extra kits, so if you didn't get signed up and would like to participate, please e-mail me at debgins@aol.com.
 
We are already working on a group award for the Beavercreek Senior Center around Veterans Day.  If you can help by machine quilting a top, please let me know.  We have many additional requests that we are trying to fulfill, and would love to get our tops made into quilts, so that we can honor those who have given so much for our country!
 
Thank you all for your continued support of Quilts of Valor!

Spring has sprung and here comes summer, please keep hydrated at all times.

I want to again welcome all of our new members. We had a very successful quilt show and now the reigns have been passed on to Emilie Theriot and two co-chairs.

Speaking for Shari and myself, we had the pleasure of heading up 3 quilt shows with one being cancelled due to the pandemic. Please consider helping again in two years.

 In the mean time we have 3 more speakers this year coming our way, our Holiday carry-in for members only in December and our next retreat in February 2023.

 See you soon, Gorby
 
 
News from Vice President
Sandi Blackwell is joining us this month; she will bring many of her wares to sell Tuesday evening at our meeting. The workshop for Wednesday is full. Sharon Resvick will be with us in July for a presentation. Signups began last month for Catherine Redmond in August and Gyleen Fitzgerald in September. Please remember, if you sign up for a workshop and are unable to attend, let me know asap. A month is preferable for a refund; within two weeks, we cannot guarantee a refund. We understand that life happens, however, this is a common practice and last-minute cancellations doesn’t allow for filling the seat. This ultimately costs the guild and causes us to pay the difference since our teachers charge a flat rate. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
Sandy H, Vice President 
 
Quilts of Valor
After an absence of two years (you all know why!), Quilts of Valor Block Drive is BACK!!  This one is going to be run a little differently this year - I'm really trying to reduce our scrap piles!
 
1)  Block Drive starts at the July 12 meeting and you will hand in your blocks at the October 11 meeting.  You will be given a bag with at least 6 compatible fat quarters in it. Your assignment is to add your own background and make 12 of the same block (with the different fabrics) in it.  Blocks should be 12½ " UNFINISHED.  The block pattern is your choice - classic, stars, connecting blocks (such as 9 patch or Irish Chain), etc.  With the blocks being coordinated, it should be easy to finish into QOV tops at the monthly sew-ins.
 
2)  The block drive runs 12 weeks - a block a week!  If you are interested, you will need to sign up at the June 14 meeting, so that I will know how many kits to make up.  If you won't be at the meeting, but want to sign up, send me an e-mail (debgins@aol.com) letting me know by June 15. Kits will be passed out at the July 12 meeting.  Each kit will have more detailed instructions, but if you have questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
 
Speaking of QOV sew-ins, we are in the process of resuming them on a limited basis. Because of some space restrictions, we are keeping them small right now, as we work out the transitions. So the people who have been sew-in regulars in the past are being given first dibs on spaces at this time. We'll see if this will change as we get back in the swing of it all!  
 
Thank you all for everything that you do for our active military and veterans!
 
Happy Quilting!
Debbie G., QOV Coordinator

Quilt Show - ALERT
 
Wednesday drop off is no longer at 721 N. King St., Xenia  It's now at 492 W Second St., Xenia from 5 to 7.  Same time, just a new and better location.  No Steps!!
 
If you know of a quilter who has died after the 2018 quilt show, please contact Shari B. immediately to see if there is still time to submit their quilts. Quilts will need to have labels on them and you will need to receive a receipt/pink slip for pick up.
 
Important reminder! It is imperative that you retain your pink slips. You will need those pink slips in order to pick up your quilts after the show. No exceptions.
 
Shari/Sherry, Quilt Show Co-Chairs
 
Quilt Show Volunteers
To all MVQG members that have volunteered for the quilt show – well, THANK YOU!! You are all awesome. We absolutely can not do this without you.

Special thanks to all those who attended last month’s speaker, Reeze Hanson. Her presentation and class were amazing! For April and May, the quilt show is front and center, but if you haven’t signed up for Sandi Blackwell’s June class yet, be sure to see me at the meeting. There are some pre-cutting requirements and prep for the daylong class. $35 will secure your spot for Sandi’s class and there are still openings. Don’t forget that we will do Show and Tell in April and May.

Quilts of Valor 
BIG NEWS on the national Quilt of Valor website - as of March 27, 2022, over 299,000 Quilts of Valor have been awarded!  On our way to 300,000!  Our guild is responsible for over 520 of those awarded!!  And to know that over 299,000 individual men and women who have served our country have been recognized, honored, and comforted with their quilts - what an accomplishment for everyone! It gives me goose bumps!!
 
Enough of the exclamation points.  This spring has brought new life in our QOV happenings - between the weather, sickness, and life-craziness, we have had lots going on behind the scenes, but weren't able to make many presentations.  That is changing now, and we look forward to honoring our servicemen and women as we continue to make and award quilts.  Hoping to start up with sew-ins again, and maybe some type of block drive in the future.  Will keep you posted!!
