We are pleased you have come to our site. The Eudora Quilting Bee is open to anyone interested in quilting. Whether you are new to quilting, or have been quilting for many years our guild has much to offer in the way of community, knowledge and enjoyment of the art and craft of quilting.
Occasionally, we hold meetings at Quilting Bits N Pieces, on 8th & Main St in Eudora. Use the website as a general guide, but the latest e-mail should be the most accurate info on meeting time & place
The Ruby Stitchers is the local chapter of The Appliqué Society which meets at Quilting Bits and Peices, 736 Main St, Eudora, KS. Whether you are an old pro or just a beginner, we welcome you. The mission of the Appliqué Society is To Promote, to Teach and to Encourage the Love of All Types of Appliqué in Quilting. You can learn more about the organization by visiting the web site at www.theappliquesociety.org.
The meetings are the first Monday from 7:00-9:00 pm. Come join us and bring along some show and tell and some handwork.
Pizza Box Swap
The guild has chosen to do another Pizza Box Swap beginning in April. Deanna has volunteered to organize it so each month we will know who we are passing to. This is for all members who wish to participate.
Bring to the April meeting:
A Pizza Box or any type of bin that will hold your pattern/book, your fabrics and any further instructions you want to pass on for those doing a block for you. Be sure to include any special items required to complete your block. For example: special ruler, paper piecing papers (enough for 15-20 members – this will be more accurate when we know how many choose to participate), templates, etc. Deanna is having members embroider names and flowers on a premade block so she will include embroidery floss, needles and a hoop. You may also want to include a checklist for members to sign their names and list the block they completed for you if there are multiple blocks to chose from in a book.
Be sure to have all the fabric necessary to make your blocks. In some cases members can add fabrics from their stash to enhance your project if you specify that this is allowed, however the majority of the fabric should be provided by you. We can always notify the box owner if things run low as the project progresses. You may also come across a new fabric you want to add at a later time as well.
How it works: Lets say for example we have Ann, Darla, Deanna and Eula involved in the swap and we choose to pass alphabetically by first name. In April Ann will pass to Darla, Darla to Deanna and Deanna to Eula. The next month Darla will pass Ann’s to Deanna and Deanna will pass Darla’s to Eula and so on. This exchange will continue for the same number of months as their are participants. If we have 12 involved, 12 months, 18 involved 18 months. This way everyone will get the chance to make a block for each of the participants. As blocks are completed, they will remain in the box so the next person will be able to choose blocks/colors to coordinate with previous blocks. By being a part of this exchange you will have the privilege of working with new color ways, techniques, new challenges and an eclectic variety of styles and tastes.
Be sure to label the books/patterns/tools in your box so they remain with your box and take care to keep each box complete and organized for the next person. In the past we did some show and tell each month of all the blocks that were completed. This is always inspiring and fun. When we finish, Darla has indicated that she will be willing to post our projects on the website.

Rookie of the Year
Congrats to Kathleen for getting Rookie of the year for the MQS 2011 show in Overland Park. Her quilt is Mimi and Me that has the animals and their babies. Also in the show is the scrappy pineapple quilt that I didn't happen to get a picture of. Congrats to Kathleen!
Meeting in June
Our LAST meeting before the quilt show. Please bring enthusiasm and be ready to help volunteer during events and times that you are able to do so.
We want everyone to be included, so come up and help out.
Don't forget items for the garage sale and don't forget to tell Deanna how many and what sizes quilts you are bringing to the show.
Quilt Show Sign Committee Sign Up
Contact Deanna as soon as possible if you want to be on the committee to plan the quilt show. This would include what door prizes, quilt auction items, layout, and other quilt show decisions need to be made between now and the quilt show.
Quilt Show Committee meeting times will be flexible to the needs of who signs up.
Due to the snow meeting dates, there is only 3 meetings before the quilt show, which is to be held on friday & saturday, the 8th and 9th of July, with a thursday setup. Location is tentatively the Eudora Middle School pending approval. The board will decide if this is acceptable this week.
Next Month Meeting time CHANGED to 6:30
A motion was put on the floor to change the meeting time to 6:30 from 7:00 for the April meeting.
Those in attendance agreed that 6:30 would be manageable, so we will move the meeting time of the April meeting to 6:30 instead of 7. For now, this is a trial meeting time, so if it doesn't work, we can move it back.
Set your alarms. See you at 6:30 on April 12th
Bus Trip to See Amish Quilt Auction
Charlene is getting interest for those who may want to attend a Bus Trip on Saturday, October 8 to visit an area that holds an Amish Quilt Auction. The trip would include a fabric shop and bakery.
Current cost is $65 for the bus and we would be expecting about 25 people to attend. There is an option to have a $15 buffet.
Please contact Charlene if interested.
MQS on friday May 13th
Deanna has a sign up list for members who can help with the Machine Quilters Showcase on Friday, May 13th.
Volunteers need to help with white gloving during the event for a 2 hour shift, and in return, will be provided with that day's admission to the show.
Also volunteers are asked to 'man the booth' to display and sell tickets for our opportunity quilt.
We still need to fill a couple of slots for the day, and currently there is only one person signed up for each slot to man the booth, and company would be appreciated!
Machine Quilter's Showcase is held in Overland Park Convention Center on College Blvd just south of Interstate 435 near Metcalf.
February Meeting & Retreat Update
Our February meeting will be Tues. Feb. 8, at Quilting Bits & Pieces, where we will learn the "little foot" paper-piecing method for assembling the blocks for our Opportunity Quilt. Bring sewing machines and supplies. If you don't have the "little foot", a ¼" foot will work.
Retreat reminder – Day-trippers should contact Kathleen if they would like to attend any day Saturday (dinner) through Tuesday (lunch). The cost is $10 per day, plus $10 per meal, plus tax.
Quilt Guild's Year End
The holiday dinner and gift exhange was a wonderful success. Filled with food, friends, and laughter, we ended our 2010 year with a good note.
A tradition was started last year for the gift exhange which was carried out again this year. We had a christmas story read by the most remarkable reader who kept giggling and pausing, and keeping us on the edge of our seats. A good tradition of passing the gift in the story on a certain word, - the - had us listening to the story much differently than we would normally be doing, but it sure provided laughter, commentary, and joy for our gifts to be exchanged.
At the moment we are getting our opportunity quilt quilted for the drawing in July 2011, but tickets are already available at the local quilt shop near the corner of 8th and Main. Pictures of the unquilted quilt (one close up of the embroidery) are on this site. The quilt is monochromatic blues with embroidery and pieced blocks.
Plans are underway for the 2012 opportunity quilt to be started at the January meeting at the quilt shop. Bring sewing machine with a little foot or a 1/4 foot and we'll learn a paper piecing technique! Can't wait to see this quilt!
Tall Oaks Retreat
The tall oaks retreat is held in February. In order to save a place there, the 60 dollar deposit is due by this coming October meeting.
Next year's retreat is held Saturday Feb 19 to Tuesday Feb 22, from about 4pm to 4pm.
Cost for attending the entire time is $210 for a triple room and $235 for a double room, which includes food and lodging for every day except the first day (or maybe that was lunch was on our own).
Coming for a time other than the entire length of the retreat, it will be prorated. If interested, please e-mail Kathleene.
