November Workshop
Mark your calendars for November, 19! Our very own Carroll Lee
Stoltz, Fiber Artist, will teach a class on Invisible Machine Ap-
plique—and it really is invisible! Two classes will be offered, morn-
ing from 9:00 - 12:00 and afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00.
Carroll Lee is a domestic machine artist and teacher. She has been a October Birthdays
member of the Dixie Quilt Guild since 2002, and is a member of the
Painted Hills Fiber Artists and Southern Utah Fiber Artists. Her ar- Ruthann Adams
tistic style varies, but her machine work is consistently an important Janey Argyle
element in all she creates. This master quilter’s joy is making art
Deanna Barker
quilts, and her love of her sewing machine is evident in her work.
Beverly Bradley
Here is her statement:
Judith Davis
Although I love to sew in any style, my focus is domestic machine
work. I have been using and perfecting home sewing machine skills Gayle Fristoe
for quilting, quilted art and fiber art for over 25 years. Prior to that, I Joyce Hammond
began learning dressmaking skills at an early age on a treadle ma- Jeanne Keeler
chine. I now use home sewing machines that plug in. The miracle of
electricity makes the art of applique’ so much easier. This technique Betty Kislinger
is one of my favorite, and once learned with a little practice, you will Patricia Knott
be freed to use commercial and original applique’ designs without
fear, and you will find this technique will allow your applique’ de- Sue Licher
signs to be accomplished quickly and very effectively. Lorri Limb
The classes will be held at the St. George Senior Center, located at Ann Nancarrow
245 N so W in St. George. Cost is $5.00 and due when you sign Donna Nigh

ATTTENTION: ANOUNCEMENTS TO
TAKE NOTE OF:
Show and tell release forms: Please add a description
of your quilt. Something as little as this is a blue and
white quilt. It will help us when we are add them to the
website to make sure we have the correct quilt with the
correct person. Plus, we would love to add a descrip-
tion of your quilt to our website. Trudy has loaded the
web permission slip on the web under the last tab,
member resources. You can fill it out beforehand if
you’d like to in the future.
If you are new or would like to update your picture
for our online directory. You can do that one of two
ways:
Allow us to take your picture during the break
at our monthly meetings.
Or send a jpg picture of yourself to
Trudy. trudy5407@gmail.com
We are missing a lot of member photos. Members can look in
the online directory. If your photo is not shown, it is because
we don’t have it. If you want their picture in the directory,
you need to have your photo taken at a meeting. It is really
helpful for photos to be in the directory so people can identify
you! Thanks! Sue Licher

Library Update
There have been some changes to the Ruth
McIntire Memorial Library over the summer.
We were able to add more books and patterns
from Ruth as well as some new books requested
by members of the Guild. Take a look under the
Member Information tab and the next to the bot-
tom selection will be the library. Once you click
there and you will be brought in to the library
with information on how the library works and
breakouts of books and patterns to choose from.
The first two selections are All Books ad All Pat-
terns. After that, you will see the new items add-
ed in July and June - over the summer. And, if
you are looking for a specific type of book or
pattern, check out the many categories.
And, if you have books you no longer need
and are willing to share them, bring them to a
Guild Meeting and Trudy will get them added to
the library. If there is a specific item you are
looking to have in the library, or have sugges-
tions, please contact Trudy Cox You may email
me at trudy5407@gmail.com or call 435-313-
5407.
Website News
The dixiequiltguild.com website is up and running as a secure website. Visitors may login and
learn about us by checking the first 4 tabs. The last 3 tabs are for Members Only and require a
login and password. If you have not received your login or password, please let me know and I
will get you one right away. Once you login, you may access any information in the Member sec-
tions.
The member directory is updated by Sue Licher every month after Guild Meeting. Pictures of
members are included in the directory, if desired. You may have your picture taken at a Guild
meeting or by providing a picture (jpg) of your choice and Sue will add it to our directory. There
is one exception to members listed on the on-line directory, which the website host is working to
correct. That is, members who have an email account that begins with a number rather than an
alphabet letter will not load. Those of you that fall into this category are still on the mailing list
for newsletters and emails from Jeanette, not just listed on the directory until the programing is
updated.
Pictures of quilts taken at Guild meetings for Show-n-Tell are displayed on the website under the
Member Photos Section. You will be able to see the most current meeting listed first. Also a brief
description of the meeting will be included for those who missed the meeting or for a refresher of
what happened.
If you would like to display what you have done on the website without bringing your quilt or item
to the Guild Meeting for the Show-n-Tell, you may take a picture (jpg), and send that along with a
description (such as this was for my Granddaughter, or this was from a class that I loved, etc.) and
send it to me. It will be included in the next month’s on-line Show-n-Tell.
Any concerns or suggestions for the website, please let me know. You may email me at
trudy5407@gmail.com or call 435-313-5407. I am always happy to help.

DIXIE QUILT GUILD CHALLENGE 2020
“2020 VISION; FOCUS ON COMING TOGETHER”
The Quilt Challenge for 2020 was announced at the September guild meeting. Your
Challenge is to make a small quilt that addresses the subject of ‘coming together’. This could
be interpreted with a subject matter about bringing our quilt guild members together, about
friends or making friends, about family togetherness in fun, love and/or sharing. Please share
something about yourself. However, we ask you please keep your message positive if making
a social statement. We reserve the right to eliminate negative messages.
All entries will become a part of a special exhibit at the next DQG quilt show in 2021.
This challenge is open to all guild members, no matter what skill level. Your quilt could
be constructed in a simple or complex manner, or anywhere in between. It could be pieced, ma-
chine or hand appliquéd, or made in any style of quilting your heart desires.
Rules:
The Entries MUST BE:
20” x 20” square, including binding. Quilts not meeting that measurement will be ineligi-
ble.
Three (3) layers; top, batting, backing.
Bound.
Have a 4” hanging sleeve, (instructions for making a hanging sleeve will be made availa-
ble).
Turned in with completed DQG Challenge 2020 application form, and label sewn to lower right corner of the back of the quilt (
application form). THE APPLICATION WILL BE AVAILABLE IN JANUARY, 2020
Entries are to be delivered to Janey Argyle at her home on or before April 25, 2020.
1360 E. Telegraph St. #139
Washington, UT 84780
Quilts will be exhibited and voted upon by the DQG members who attend the May,
2020 meeting, and prizes will be awarded during the June, 2020 meeting.
After viewing and voting, quilts will be returned to the maker at the end of the May
meeting. If you have a quilt in the challenge but are unable to attend the May meeting, you
must send a designated representative with your application identification ticket to pick up
your quilt.
We are pleased to coordinate this fun, important function for the Dixie Quilt Guild. If
you have questions, please text either Janey Argyle or Carroll Lee Stolz. Our phone numbers
are in the 2019 Membership Directory. Have Fun!!

A Class Reunion - Reminder
During the year 2018, many of our members participated in the seven different workshops
provided for our Guild. The enthusiasm was high, and the energy was evident in every one
held. The hope was that you would go back to your sewing rooms and use some of the tech-
niques and good ideas that were shared. With those, it may be that a quilt or two might have
emerged, and you will be willing to share what you’ve done with what was learned.
As a reminder, here is what was taught in 2018. (Does that seem like a decade ago?) In
January we played with the technique of foundation piecing with freezer paper. We learned that
you could use this paper, and NOT have to stitch ON the paper, but along folded edges - and it
easily lifted off after the block was finished. The other plus was that you could use the pattern
more than once. In March we talked about wool, and all the wonderful things you can do with
that beautiful textile. We learned about washing, felting, dying and storing the fabric - and then
each of us made a little needle case - or an eyeglass case from the kit provided. In April, we
laughed about how many tools we might have and which ones we really want in the workshop “I
Have This Tool”. In May we made accessories for our sewing room, which might have been an
ironing board cover, an applique pillow or other useful items. In September, we learned about
“Disappearing Stuff”, and experimented with cutting up blocks to make them into a myriad of
other designs. In October we discovered just what that 60 degree line was for on our rulers, and
VIOLA - there were SO many fun blocks that could be made with that idea. In November, we
formed our own little communities, when we found that “It Takes a Village” .... and we made
houses of our own. So much fun !
Did any of that ring a bell? Do you have something you’d be willing to share?
If so, get it out and ready for our November guild meeting, and let’s have a remarkable “Show
and Tell”.
Thanks so much for participating and being part of this wonderful set of workshops.

Gems of the Desert Quilt Show 2021
Hard to believe, but it is time to begin planning for our next quilt show in 2021.
The Dixie Center is unable to commit to us any dates in March for our show but
were able to commit to dates in early April. Easter is on April 4 th of 2021 and we
wanted to stay away from that weekend but not too late in April as some of our
snowbirds start flying north. We have booked April 6th -10th, the week after East-
er as our dates. We have scheduled the same rooms as the 2019 show so far
which would include rooms for classes. Attendance for classes was lacking
somewhat in 2019 and the committee and board will have serious discussions as
to whether we will hold classes in 2021. I will be asking the membership for a
show of hands at the September show of those that would be willing to attend
classes during show week. Many hours go into planning classes and dollars spent
for teachers and rooms so attendance needs to be there for it.
Many have come forward to volunteer for the show committee so far but we need
the following committee chairs:
Classes and Teachers Coordinator
Show Quilt Organizers
Ribbons and Prizes
Security
Signs and Posters
Banners
Please notify me or Lynea Askey if you are interested in serving as chairperson of
any of these committees.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the September Guild Meeting on September
14th.
