1 The Pine Needle Press Volume 31 Issue 7! Pine Tree Quilt Guild July A newsletter of the Pine Tree Quilt Guild of Nevada County, having taken root in the fabric of the Grass Valley community since Published monthly except August Banner Mine Way, Nevada City Dear Members, July President s Message Our July meeting is our annual picnic. It will be at at the lovely pavilion in the back of the La er Day Saints church on Hollow Way. The date is July 8th at 6:00 PM. Please come and enjoy friendships, meet new people and have good food. We are almost half way through 2014! Time is really going too quickly for me! Plans are well on the way for 2015 in PTQG. The nominating commi ee for 2015 officers is in place, a preliminary budget commi ee has met and programs are already being planned. The reason the board added a preliminary budget meeting was to be be er able to plan for our 2015 year, particularly how much we can spend for speakers and if we can afford to have a Jamboree, and if so, make those plans. Karle deprosse, our Finance, Budget and Audit chairperson, has explained to the board that we are continuing to spend $2,000 to $4,000 per year over our expenses. Our nice reserve savings is shrinking and within just a few years could be depleted. It is important to have the reserve in the event we cannot have a quilt show or some disaster affects the area one year, as we count on the income to fund scholarships, community service and all the wonderful activities that we offer our members for a low to no cost. If anyone has comments or suggestions regarding budgeting and finances of the guild, please contact either Karle or me, we welcome hearing from our members. See you at the picnic with a yummy dish to share!

3 The Pine Needle Press!!!!!! Page 3 Sign Up to White The FAIR!! What a generous group of ladies you are! At the June meeting, I asked for white glove sign ups for the Nevada County Fair in August and I have all slots filled but 4. These are slots for you night owls out there. I need 2 people for the 6pm - 10pm slot on Friday August 8, and 2 for the 6pm - 10pm slot on Saturday, August 9. I just need 4 people to donate 4 hours of their time. You get free admission and free parking, and you can come early with your friends/family to enjoy the food and activities before your shift begins at 6. This is the first time we will be selling tickets for our 2015 opportunity quilt, "Fiori". I think this quilt is a stunner (a totally unbiased opinion)! Remember monies from the opportunity quilt and quilt show baskets are our biggest money makers for the guild and for 4 hours of your time, you will be helping to send a well-deserving high school student on to college with our scholarships. If you (and a friend) are willing to take one or more of these shifts, please let me know at: gvcathy@yahoo.com or call me at THANK YOU!!! Cathy Stone Pinterest Pinterest is a fun site to visit. I can spend a lot of time browsing through the pins from a variety of topics. Quilting is obviously one of them, and this pin looked kind of fun. Although I must admit, from what I ve seen of my sewing buddies, the pail would have to be very large! The straw bobbin holder looks interesting, tried to find directions, but nothing showed up. I think I could figure it out! Have fun!

A special Thank You to Margie for sharing her skills with us and for the special a ention she gave to those of us that choose directional fabric! THIS month ARDY TOBIN will share with us Basic Techniques that we all need! Even if you know how to do basic, its always a good idea to be open to learn from another quilter!

8 The Pine Needle Press!!!!!! Page 8 Sixth in a series: Highlights of Guild Positions Newsletter In the By-Laws the Newsle er Chairperson(s) shall put out a Newsle er each month before the Guild meeting, which shall include notifying members of regular meetings and special events. Later on in the Policies section, Display ads will no longer be printed in the newsle er. (2003) The Newsle er will not accept ads from outside the Guild. (2005) The Newsle er will be distributed via the Guild s website. Option for printed and first class delivery of the newsle er will be available, however, member will pay the current cost of printing and mailing. (2011) (2013). The newsletter position provides one of the lines of communication of the Guild. In the world today, Marketing is important for any organization. Through the newsletter we reach not only our members, but others who visit our website. The newsletter is easier to get published because of the support of the Board members and general members as well. Each month the editor is sent articles or notes to include in the current month s edition. After completing the rough draft, she sends it on to her readers who check for errors, and sometimes there are more than a few! Occasionally, despite our best efforts, errors still slip through, so be patient! Let the editor know if the mistake is something that is factual and needs to be corrected in the next edition. Personal note from your editor...this is a great position for someone who wants to know what s going on in the Guild. It offers one the great opportunity of interacting with many members in the Guild. I m not ready to give it up anytime soon, but when I do, give it some thought!
