1 Homespun Pieces And Stitches A publication of the Homespun Quilters Guild August 2016 Calendar of Events 8 th MONDAY Board Meeting, 6:00 Clara Jean Matustik s, 2724 Cedar Pt. Dr., Waco All guild members are invited to attend. 15 h Guild meeting/program- Bi Annual Garage Sale 19 th Information for the September newsletter sent to guildnews@hot.rr.com I really enjoyed our program in July. Rita s quilts are beautiful!! I am inspired. Thank you Rita!!! I am looking forward to seeing the creations from the workshop during future Show and Tells. Some use paint. I use fabric. I am an ARTIST! Rita handed out similar tags to everyone at the meeting. Mine will be a permanent addition to my sewing room to remind me that I am an Artist. For a long time I did not consider myself an artist. I believed that to be an artist your work needed to hang in a gallery, be showcased in a special exhibit, be performed in a theatre, or an opera house, you get the idea. I don t remember when my first piece of art graced the fridge but I do remember when I hung that first piece for each of our daughters. The light in their eyes, the huge smile on their face and I swear they stood a little taller, they were so proud. To them that Fridge was more special than the Louvre. I have entered some of my quilts in shows. Many did not receive any recognition, but some did. I remember the very first time I won a ribbon for one of my quilts. I was shocked and I got a little misty, I was just so touched, I am sure I stood a little taller. 1

2 Most of my art hangs on the back of a couch or across a bed, is draped on the lawn at a picnic or waits folded up in the trunk of a car for it s next showing. But I am pretty sure that each time my art is touched it brings a smile to someone s face and that is a felling that I will always treasure. Many of us walked away from the meeting saying, Wow, I could never do that. I believe we do not give ourselves enough credit. The basic definition of an artist is someone who creates. I challenge you all to create something new you may just surprise yourself. The end result may not hang at Houston, but I am sure it will look absolutely amazing on the Fridge. Cheers, Kathleen MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY This year s directory includes: The membership directories will be distributed at the August meeting. Please notice there are several changes and additions.
