Popping up in January...
Our January workshop will be hosted by guild WHAT: 3D Pop Quilt Workship
member Ali Doberstein. Ali will show you how WHEN: Sat, Jan 14 - 10AM
to take your quilting to the next dimension by WHERE: Look on the website
teaching methods of creating a 3D Pop Quilt.
The picture of the balloon quilt is what Ali will
be teaching in the workshop. Ali will be dis-
cussing design decisions on how to take a kit or
pattern and make it 3D. And how to decide what
should pop in the quilt and to what extent.
The January 10, 2023 LQG meeting speaker will
be Ali Doberstein. The topic presented will be
Current Trends in 3D Quilting. Ali has had an
interesting career path consisting of landscap-
ing, flipping houses, private investigator, finan-
cial aide officer and now a Long-Arm quilter
with her Mom, Jan Timmons. She hopes being
a long-arm quilter will be her last profession.
Ali visited a LQG Quilt Show and was inspired to
make her first quilt which was a 3D Pop Quilt.
Get Ready for Block of the Month 2023
In January, we will be starting a new block
of the month challenge. We dont have an
actual quilt picture to share yet, but we do
have a mock-up to start your thinking and
planning.

Get on the Raffle Train
I want to say a big thank you to the Raffle Committee for the work they did to make
the raffle a success. They stepped up when I, literally, couldn't and on many other occasions.
I couldn't have asked for a better group to keep me on my toes and everything running
smoothly.
Debbie Norton, Sue Erickson, Kathy Kessinger, Nancy Doyon, and Cheryl O'Bannon, thanks
for volunteering to be on the committee and doing such a great job. You are all winners in my
book. I'd also like to thank the various guild members who stepped up to help from time to
time. We appreciate you.
Happy Quilting, Teresa

Ways and Means Made it Happen
“Outside Your Comfort Zone”
Online Auction Results
The on-line auction was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who donated for the auction!
Your donations to the auction really help our guild budget for all the progarms and activities we
offer during the year.
After our expenses and the fees paid to Auctria we should end up with a little over $8,000.00 in
profit. This amount is a little less than last year due to almost double in expenses.
The percentage of bidders who were non-members was 59% and the percentage of sales for
non-members was 57%. This was a great testament to our membership for getting the word out!
We mailed 14 packages to 9 different states!! Bidders paid a total of $314.00 for shipping and we
actually spent $279.00 on shipping so we came out a little ahead there.
The items we made the most on were Quilts ($4,718.00), followed by Table Treatments, Holiday
items and Baby Quilts. In case you couldn't attend the show, have a look below..

Fall Mountain Retreat was a Blast!
After two years, we were finally able to take 16
members to the Highlands Presbyterian Camp
and Retreat Center. This year the retreat ran
from Monday morning to Thursday afternoon.
Every participant had a floor to ceiling view of
Meeker Peak from their table. It was a good mix
of long-standing members and very new mem-
bers. The machines were humming, and the
conversation was buzzing.
We were fortunate to have a very experienced
quilter, Kirsten Rounds, lead us in an optional Snap
Bag Sew-along. The bags were very cute and some
members learned new skills. It was a fun project
and Kirsten did a great job. After power quilting
for two days, we played quilting related games.
The funniest game was watching Kathy Welch and
Kirsten Rounds balancing a charm pack, on their
heads, while stacking cups. We all had a good
laugh. There was a lot of loud coaching and laugh-
ing during all the games! A special thanks to Debra
Stebbins for leading us in the games and providing
the prizes.
Highlands is a wonderful venue in an idyllic setting.
The rooms are clean with a quilt on every bed! The
food is good and plentiful! They are very nice to
accommodate special diets. The quilting room is
accessible day and night with an awesome view.
We had late owls and early birds. There were some
beautiful quilts started and projects finished. We
even had Big Foot join our ranks. Most of us made
a stop at Lyons Quilt Shop, on the way home, to take
advantage of the 20% discount that Tracy Barber
graciously extended to the retreat participants.
Many thanks to all of the participants for a wonder-
ful retreat!
