<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
We had a houseful (18) SAQA members attend the studio tour at Cindy Brendzel's on February 15, 2020. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
On entering, CB logged all incoming auction quilts</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
After welcomes to visitors and new members to our region, we did introductions. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
CParry reminded all that we will need new region reps because the Cindy's are stepping down mid-2020.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
CParry gave a quick reminder that the auction pieces were going to hang on March 1 at the Shirley Stiles Gallery in Westwood, KS for the month of March with thanks to CBrendzel and KHansen for handling that exhibit.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
CParry and CBrendzel reminded all about the IUAH exhibit and informed the group that IUAH has changed some of the exhibit guidelines; now only wanting art that is 12x12, now a $10 fee for entry, and we now will be sharing the exhibit space with other artists and media. An email had gone out a few days earlier about the changes. The IUAH exhibit will be for the month of May. CParry will pick them up at IUAH at the end of the exhibit and send auction pieces to SAQA and return the other pieces with CB's help when she returns from QSDS.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
CParry gave an update about delightfull exhibit - It has been shipped to Indiana and is currently hanging until early May. It will then be driven immediately to Albert Kemper by the Cindy's.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">

Maria Shell, a SAQA artist from Anchorage will be holding a workshop on May 23 from 10-1 at Rolling Hills Presbyterian Church<span style="color: #000013;">. </span><span style="color: black;">The SAQA store is open and ready for sign ups at <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://saqa.com&source=gmail&ust=1586617758268000&usg=AFQjCNGRRsMl2t89TizW72W1P-1qycFboA" href="http://saqa.com/" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">saqa.com</a></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="color: black;">We then worked with the SAQA trunk show pieces separating into two rooms each with half the work to view the pieces and decide which 3 would be placed first thru third in a show and why. It is interesting to see which group choose which piece and why. There was a little overlap, not much but some good discussion. All seemed to feel it was a good and interesting exercise.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">
<span style="color: black;">We then had show and share as usual and as usual, there was some amazing work shared and we learned a new technique for attaching wire/slats (thanks Marge Banks). Claudia shared that she prints on fabric by fusing Wonder Under to white or lightly printed fabric and running one sheet at a time through her printer. (thanks Claudia) </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial; font-size: 13.3333px;">

In addition, at one of the exhibitions, there will be space for additional pieces. Please read Cindy B's information below and don't miss this great opportunity.</b><br />
<br />
Are you working on your 12x12 SAQA auction pieces? For all the first-timers, these are to be 12x12 pieces (that's inches!) on any theme you choose. These are small, comparatively fast and easy! You may make ONE piece destined for the auction. This piece, if gotten to Cindy Brendzel by Feb 10, 2020, will exhibit for the entire month of March at the Shirley Stiles Gallery in Westwood, MO. In the past, we’ve exhibited there in February. We were given an option to change our month to a longer one! (every extra exposure day is good, right?) J We grabbed it to give more exposure for our region members. IF there is room and you make a 12x12 NOT intended for auction, we may include it in the exhibit as either a display piece only OR as a ‘for sale’ piece. All pieces must have labels AND 2” wide sleeves which are set in ½” from edges and from top. Ideally, your 2nd piece, if you choose to provide one, has not been exhibited here before.<br />
<br />
Please note that this year, the 12x12's will be managed by Cindy Brendzel and her TBD assistant. Please contact her if you wish to help or have any questions. Her email is cbren588@gmail.com and her address is 10408 Grant Lane, Overland Park, KS 66212. Deadline is Feb 10. Earlier is better! IF you are local, you may also bring your 12x12(s) to the region meeting being held at her house Feb. 15.<br />
<br />
When you ship/turn in your piece to Cindy B., PLEASE be sure to INCLUDE:<br />
<br />
a) brief artist statement about the piece for gallery book<br />
b) short bio for gallery book including contact info<br />
c) title of piece<br />
d) NSF or sale price<br />
e) is it intended for auction when exhibits are done? Y/N<br />
f) $1.50 for shipping IF your piece is intended for auction<br />
g) return postage IF you are wanting the piece returned if not sold OR only intended for exhibition purposes<br />
h) don't forget to provide 2" sleeve per instructions - hanging devices will be provided<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
These same 12x12 pieces will be on exhibit again for the month of May at the InterUrban Art House (IUAH) in Overland Park, KS. A NEW exhibit space for us!<br />
<br />
In addition, the fabulous 50+ piece SAQA travelling trunk show will be on exhibit there at the same time with our 12x12 pieces. Our job is to FILL THE REMAINING GALLERY SPACE! That might be a challenge: it’s a good sized space so we need lots ‘o pieces. Per IUAH: "The price point is $150 and under for 12x12 pieces, BUT you can price larger pieces as you desire". The ArtHouse will take a very modest 30% commission. These pieces will hang towards the end of April with a reception on the 15th of May (usual 3rd Friday event). All pieces MUST have labels and sleeves: 1/2” from quilt edges top and bottom. Sleeves are 4” wide for the larger pieces. 12x12’s should have 2” wide sleeves to accommodate our slats. On these larger pieces, PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP your intention on providing a piece for sale for this portion of the exhibit. These pieces should be original works. If we are lucky enough to get swamped with works, IUAH reserves the right to curate pieces. We'll be accepting delivery in early April. Again, additional info will be in newsletter out late Jan/early Feb.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12464425603323257233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791775439510193647.post-63679987442377560202020-01-06T11:47:00.000-08:002020-01-06T11:47:23.899-08:00Regional Meeting Notes, November 2019<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Happy New Year everyone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was almost 2 months ago that we got together at Marnie’s
and seems like it was so much longer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m glad the Holiday Season is over, what about you? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Marnie Clawson was such a good host <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and if you missed this you missed a lot. First
of all, her studio is to die for especially to someone like me that is grateful
to have a small spare bedroom as a studio.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>She did a trunk show for us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She
talked about her various processes and she had an indigo pot for us to dip
things into. While we were busy with all that her husband was pressing grapes
from their vineyard for this year’s vintage AND she sent everyone home with a
jar of homemade grape jelly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a
fun day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We also took the time for a brief “business” meeting. Here
is what was discussed…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Cindy’s shared their efforts to try and convince<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>SAQA HQ to have the 2023 conference in
KC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Time will tell how this plays
out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Cindy’s are also scheduled to give their SAQA
presentation in Columbia, MO at Booneslick Trail Quilt Guild on April 6<sup>th</sup>,
2020. Hopefully, some Missouri SAQA members can attend.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We reminded those in attendance of the upcoming
opportunities for the 12x12 auction quilts. We have been asked back again this
year for a Small Works exhibit at the Shirley Stiles Gallery in Westwood,
Kansas for the month of March.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In May
the auction quilts will be shown along with a SAQA Trunk Show and other larger
pieces our members create for sale at the InterUrban Art House in Overland
Park, Kansas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There was a discussion about the tasks and responsibilities
of a Regional Rep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Cindy’s will be
stepping down after the May meeting to give someone else a chance to play a
greater role in this wonderful organization.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>If you are thinking about volunteering to take over we encourage you to
check out the SAQA website and read through some of the info in the
representative pages.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can get an
idea of what’s involved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can speak for
both of us that it has been a very positive experience.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We all brought a bag lunch but one of Marnie’s friends supplied
several homemade pies for dessert from her friends’ pie shop to-be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Apparently we were testers for the bakery she
will be opening in town soon.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pies
got rave reviews.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, we had our Show and Share.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of us brought our finished pieces from
the Jo Alberda workshop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s always fun
to see the different varieties we can make from the same project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Also, a big ‘thank you’ to May Kay Fosnacht (KCity),
Shannon Conley (Moore, OK) and Karen Hansen (KCity) for their work on the promotional

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">We briefly talked about the SAQA booth at the upcoming

<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Cindy P mentioned the Spring Quilt Market is wrapping

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Cindy B, Cindy P and Kathy Suprenaut (Lawrence KS) shared
their experiences of the SAQA Annual Conference – ‘Threads of Innovation’ held
in San Jose, California.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were very
impressed by the workshop that talked about incorporating drawing app
technology into art quilting; another on how to use Instagram to develop your
brand as an artist; and yet another that presented art quilting as a bridge for
disadvantaged teens to engage in social justice issues. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow, who knew?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Cindy
P and Kathy Suprenaut gave the group a small taste of the conference by re-enacting
their prepared ‘Lightning Talks’ at the meeting. Kathy’s talked was on her art
quilt series titled “What did Ming Miss?” and Cindy P’s was “Creating Your Day”
or how to say NO and to prioritize your art.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everyone really enjoyed them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

over view of their group and upcoming activities.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt;">Andrea
Luliak (Oklahoma) was our ‘Member Spotlight’ speaker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She proved what we already knew – she is
multi-talented, and endlessly curious when it comes to quilting techniques and
the use of color and textures.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>During
the course of her presentation we saw her full range.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She showed us samples of her earliest work including
fabric pieces so small it’s hard to imagine handling them let alone
hand-stitching them. She also had hand made dolls and art quilts that
incorporated many different surface design techniques. She is certainly an asset
to our group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

March 2, 2019, Oak Park Public Library, Overland Park, KS<br />
<br />
We started with introductions, as usual. There were 18 people in attendance. We started with Cindy P talking about the exhibit of 12x12 Auction quilts that had just been taken down from the Styles Gallery in Westwood, Kansas. There were 30 quilts in the exhibit and it was an excellent representation of what the region is doing. The exhibit was well received and they have already asked back again next year. Cindy P has been trying to find another venue for an exhibit before the quilts are due at the SAQA headquarters for the online auction. Only those quilts intended for the auction will go to global in NM. If you requested your quilt be returned, you can expect to see it after the end of the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival where they will be last exhibited.<br />
<br />
There was a discussion about whether or not we wanted the SAQA booth at the Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival, at the Overland Park Convention Center June 13-15. The question was - does the group want it there, and are there enough volunteers to manage the booth for the 3 days of the Festival. And we need to check with the Festival to see if there is still time to get the okay from SAQA and the Festival coordinators. Nine volunteers stepped up and Cindy P said she would follow up with SAQA and the Festival.<br />
<br />
<b>UPDATE:</b> It’s a go. The booth will be at the Festival and Michele Dondell is heading up the project. It is likely that an online signup sheet will be in your inbox as time nears. PLEASE be sure to help your region out and sign up for a couple of hours at the booth.<br />
<br />
Cindy B presented Regional Financial Report. With the speaker’s fees the Cindys earned for the region in 2018 we started the year with $1,293.98 in our account. We announced plans for upcoming meetings: in May Andrea Luliak is scheduled for a Spotlight presentation. In August we have arranged for JoAnn Alberda, a SAQA member based in Iowa, to give a full day workshop titled “Variation on a Theme” on August 17. More details will be available soon. The workshop is perfect for art quilters, but also for the traditional quilter willing to move out of a comfort zone. The class will be offered to SAQA members first. If it does not fill, it will be opened up to non-SAQA members.<br />
<br />
There was a brief discussion on the “de.light/FULL” juried show. The SAQA Call for Entry closed on February 28th . Forty six quilts were submitted. The jurying process is just starting and all artists should except to be notified by April 15. The exhibit is scheduled to open July 12th at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City, Mo. Next it will be at the Modella Art Gallery in Stillwater, Oklahoma in November-December 2019. In 2020 the exhibit is expected to be shown scheduled at The Quilter’s Hall of Fame in Marion, Indiana and lastly in St. Joseph, Missouri at the Albrecht-<br />
Kemper Museum of Art. Don’t forget Modella is asking for mini-workshops/demos during<br />
the exhibit. They are also asking for hand-crafted items to sell. You need to contact them directly to check on their interest in your particular items.<br />
<br />
SAQA is looking for a conference venue for 2022 and there was a discussion on what it would mean to our region and should we lobby for it. We did our usual much enjoyed round of ‘Show and Share”<br />
After a break we introduced a collage project. Everyone was given an identical packet of color prints, a word cut out of a magazine and a colored paper to use as a background. Using scissors and a glue stick we were to create collage in 25 minutes. After the collage was finished we shared our piece with the group and talked about the process. We did these three times. It was inspiring to see how different each of us approached the exercise and everyone was surprised by the finished pieces. The Cindys set a challenge to everyone to use one of the collages as inspiration for a finished quilt by the May meeting. Any size, any theme. It was fun!<br />
<br />
Next meeting: May 18th at 12:00 at the Central Resource library’s Logan Room I hope you can join us.

Meeting Minutes for November 17, 2018, Overland Park, KS at the<br />
Lackman Library, Lenexa, Kansas<br />
<br />
The meeting started with a welcome and introductions all around. Ten members attended including one new member Michele Dowdell. Andrea Luliack’s was acknowledged for a 3-hour drive from Oklahoma to get to a meeting. She is a valued regular member! The Cindys gave an update on their four SAQA regional fund raiser presentations in Edmond, OK, North Kansas City and Lawrence, KS. The presentations went well and they were greeted with appreciative audiences. After each of our presentations, several attendees expressed interest in SAQA and thanked us for the information.<br />
<br />
Since the last quarterly meeting the Cindys also had the opportunity to visit Stillwater, OK to meet the Director of the Modella Gallery. Modella will be exhibiting our De.light/FULL show November 7th – December 14th, 2019. In addition to the show they are very interested in having small quilted<br />
pieces to sell in the gallery while the show is on display. If you are interested in sending items for sale PLEASE CONTACT Valeria Zayat-Bloodgood at vzb2@yahoo.com directly and cc the Cindys. Let Valerie know your connection to SAQA and the show and what you have to offer for sale. You do not have to have a piece in the show to sell small items. She knows what her audience is interested in, and she may ask for digital images.<br />
<br />
The Cindys are talking with two well-known textile artists about the possibility of coming to our region for a workshop in 2019, Deb Boschert (deborahsstudio.com) and Joanna Alberta (joannealberda.com). You may want to visit their websites.<br />
<br />
This year’s 12x12 SAQA Auction Quilts are due mid-January. We are finalizing the galleries for exhibit before sending to SAQA. Contact the Cindys with any questions. idyllways@aol.com and/or<br />
cbren588@gmail.com. The Cindys brought the SAQA Trunk Show they’ve been using in their presentations to our regional guilds. It is made up of 58 original quilts from members all around the world. In addition to the fun of seeing all these inspirational pieces we decided to use them in a mini jurying exercise. First we divided the trunk show into two random piles and attendees into two<br />
groups. Then we informed them that they are jurying a quilt show and they have to pick the ‘Best in Show’. It was a blind jurying process, that is, they could not turn the quilts over to find out who made them. After 20 minutes they switched and did the same for the other quilt pile. There were some<br />
spectacular quilts, both in technique and content and they had a tough decision to make. The question is: did both groups select the same quilts as Best in Show, and what does this mini exercise say about the quilt jurying process? Answer: No, they didn’t, and it says a lot about the judge’s expertise, personal preferences, favorite color, time of day, etc. We had a good discussion.<br />
<br />
Then, what else? Show and Share!<br />
<br />
Winner of the door prize was Karen Hansen.<br />

The next meeting is scheduled for February 16, 2019, 11 am in the Pickard Room at the Central Resource Library, 9875 W 87th St, Overland Park, KS 66212.Shannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12464425603323257233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791775439510193647.post-8523907239544338512018-06-19T13:41:00.000-07:002018-12-21T08:00:23.305-08:00SAQA KS/MO/OK Regional: May 19, 2018 Meeting Notes.<br />
<br />
The meeting starting with introductions. There were 15 attending including 4 guests.<br />
One of the guests, Merete Veian is a SAQA member all the way from Norway. She has<br />
been visiting the US for a couple of weeks and we were lucky to have her join us.<br />
Cindy P and Cindy B shared their impressions of the SAQA Annual Conference in April<br />
in San Antonio, Texas. The first two days were devoted to Representative activities and<br />
workshops. It was an opportunity to network with other reps and share their successes<br />
and lessons learned. The conference was packed with speakers, Breakout Sessions<br />
and a favorite – Lighting Talks, 16 fast and focused presentations, each only 6 minutes<br />
long, and on a wide range of topics. If you get an opportunity to go to next year’s<br />
conference, take it. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly and it’s in San Jose,<br />
California!<br />
<br />
Cindy B announced an Oklahoma venue has agreed to show our 2019 exhibit<br />
‘de.light/Full’. Modella Gallery in Stillwater, Oklahoma has confirmed the dates of<br />
November 7 – December 14, 2019. As a reminder: de.light/Full premiers July 12, 2019<br />
at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City, Missouri. It will then travel to the<br />
Modellla Art Gallery, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. It is also scheduled at the Albrecht-<br />
Kemper Museum of Art, in St Joseph, Missouri June 13 – September 13, 2020.<br />
We have approached two venues in Indiana. Stay tuned.<br />
<br />
Cindy B talked briefly about transitioning the next Regional Reps. It’s not too early to<br />
consider stepping up and playing a bigger role in our activities and/or planning on<br />
becoming the next Regional Rep(s). If interested, you are welcome to shadow us at<br />
any time. We generally meet for at a Panera once a month to talk over what we want to<br />
do and split up the tasks going forward. Most of the behind the scenes work is done<br />
with email.<br />
<br />
Linda Frost gave a ‘Member Spotlight’ presentation. Her transition from her earlier art<br />
quilt experience to her current work is truly inspiring. Everyone commented on her color<br />
choices and use of hand stitching to enhance each piece. (Can you add to this?)<br />
<br />
The group shared “Show and Tell” and a couple volunteered to have their piece<br />
critiqued by the group.<br />
<br />
Our door prize went to Jane Bonachi.

He had been selected by the Director at the UCM Gallery of Art and Design to give a presentation to the students and we asked him to give the same presentation at our meeting. He talked about his background as an architect, his introduction to quilting, and brought a number of his amazing quilts that show his artistic progression and skill as an artist. It was a very interesting presentation and we very much appreciated seeing his body of work.</span></div>

Starting with the next newsletter, we hope to have 2-3 member bios. We may never meet some of our members but we’d like to know who they are and not just a name on a roster. Cindy P will be contacting members and asking them to write a bio (up to a page) including information about their art work and experience, of course, but also about their family life, other interests … anything they’d like us to know about them including a photo or two of the member and a piece of their work if they so choose. Names will literally be pulled from a hat (okay, maybe a bowl) then Cindy P will ask those members to please write their bio for inclusion in the next newsletter. Each of those members will have about 6-8 weeks to submit it to Cindy P.</span></div>

The images submitted with a Call for Entry are very important and you want to make sure the images submitted are sharp and meet all requirements. We interviewed 3 photographers local to Kansas City. Generally, we found the cost to shoot a quilt and receive the full and detail digital images asked for in SAQA Calls varies depending on volume. The cost was as low as $10 per quilt up to $600 for a half day in the studio. If you would like to know the names of the 3 we talked to let me know and I’ll send you more specific info. In all cases the quilt artist should be very specific about the digital requirements and expect to help make sure the quilt hangs properly for the shoot. One photographer had a board to pin the quilt on and another asked that the quilts have sleeves. Always call ahead to discuss it with the photographer beforehand and get a quote. Also, if you know of any professional photographer in our region that is experienced with fiber art please post in Facebook. And remember information on the SAQA website is very helpful for those that want to learn how to light and shoot their own work.</span></div>

We will exhibit our Region’s 2018 Auction Quilts before forwarding to SAQA National for their Auction website. The venue is The Shirley Stiles Gallery in Westwood, KS. Your 12”x12” quilt is due no later than March 15, 2018 and can be on any subject. It will be exhibited during April 2018 and then shipped to National. We encourage everyone to participate. There is a contest between Regions and the one that has the highest participation wins. The prize has been a dollar amount deposited in to the region’s account and that means more money to use for workshops. You can see the 2017 Auction Quilts on the SAQA website. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 13.999999999999998pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">If you get your quilt and artist statement to us by mid-January we can get it to them in time to select one or two in their city newsletter.

share the postcard via our Facebook page. Since we are a “Secret” group, we
cannot share anything that is not “public” – for ex. Amazon links are public,
so those are allowed. So… download
the flyer below and post or email or print it, OR you can download the postcard

City Hall and they have agreed to have the auction quilts in Feb. 2017 in conjunction
with another artists’ exhibit. However, the exact location of where the quilts
would be hung is undetermined. The consensus of the member’s present was that
we wouldn’t want to step on another artists’ space, and due to security reasons
would not want the small auction quilts to be hung in the back or a separate
room. Since the location cannot be confirmed, it has been decided to hold off
on exhibiting auction quilts as a region in 2017. <o:p></o:p></div>

The quilts will travel on from there to Chicago then Minneapolis in October and November. Cindy will be doing gallery talks in Minneapolis in November, so if you have a chance to attend any of these shows, please check out her work!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
Here are a couple of pictures from Cindy and an excerpt from her write up:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">"This series is the result of my need to express the profound sympathy and compassion I felt for the people and the country of Japan as they struggled to recover from the horrific triple nightmare of March 11, 2011. </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">My husband was working in Osaka, Japan when the disaster happened. Though he felt the quake, he wasn’t personally affected. Several friends and family still live in Japan and I think about how it affects their daily lives and future. I am now on a mission to educate the viewers of my pieces about Japan and the triple disaster that continues to affect life there. </span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">This series started out as and was planned as a single piece. Ideas flooded me and kept me up nights. It became what it needed to become: a series of twelve. Fabrics, color and quilt stitches are chosen with great deliberation, striving for the emotive quality that the subject demands."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: JA;">Take a piece of muslin onto which you apply an
ironed-on fusible such as Heat N Bond or Wonder Under. Take the
paper off and crumple up a piece of tissue paper; smooth out, leaving most of
the folds in the paper and apply it to the fusible. Press, do not iron
smooth. You have a textured surface you can use to paint, stamp, stencil,
etc. If you aren't aiming for texture, then you can apply several torn
pieces of any kind of paper to the fusible and press using a piece of parchment
paper. Onto that surface you can stamp, paint, stencil, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language: JA;">With this method you use a sheet of Steam a Seam
2. You simply take the paper off one side of the fusible and arrange
several pieces of different papers onto the sticky side of the fusible. The
papers will adhere until you can iron them on, so you really don't need an iron
to start the process, it can be ironed at home. The entire sheet of SAS
must be covered with papers, then when ironed down you can embellish or stitch
on the top of the papers and you can adhere the other side of the fusible to
any fabric or stabilizer of your choice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

surface (plastic). You apply a thin coat of a 50/50 solution of PVA or
Elmer's glue and water. While still wet, apply decorated papers, napkins,
tissue paper, phone book paper, dress pattern paper to the surface, leaving
some areas of the muslin bare. Apply another thin coat of glue/water
solution to the top of that layer. And while still wet you can cover the
surface with a watered down layer of acrylic paint, transparent paint or
watercolor. When dry, the "paper" is suitable for machine
sewing, hand sewing, etc, because of the muslin backing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">February 20,
2016 was the most recent quarterly meeting in Kansas City. Here's a short review of what the group covered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nine
members attended the meeting at the newly-remodeled Johnson County Central
Library.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Carmen
Rinehart presented a program on “Color.”
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Carmen suggested we tend to use the same
colors repeatedly because they have been successful for us in the past. She
recommended the book, Color Play by Joen Wolfram. She also talked about
research that has been done that analyzes how our brains react to color – tension,
calming, stimulating, etc. If we create art for a specific venue it could
influence our color choices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">During part of the presentation we
played a “card game” using paint and fabric swatches. It was a lot of fun and
very informative. Everyone enjoyed
it. Thank you, Carmen!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There
has been some confusion regarding the term “face-time” meetings. Apparently there is an internet program
similar to Skype that is named Facetime.
In the future, we will refer to our meetings as quarterly (Kansas City
area) get-togethers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Mary
Kay reported that SAQA was willing to pay for us to have a SAQA booth at the
2017 Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival.
Linda Frost offered to help coordinate staffing for it. Registration for KCRQF booth space has not
yet begun, so this is not a sure thing yet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
