Have you heard? The SRVQG Board has been able to secure a new retreat location for this fall: Living Waters Ranch (LWR), just outside of Challis, ID! A few of us have toured the place and talked with some of the staff, and the conclusion is unanimous: OUTSTANDING! The facility was built in the early 2000 s. It is clean, well-constructed, spacious, and exceptionally well maintained. I encourage you to check out the LWR website at livingwatersranch.org. From October 22 nd through October 26 th, 2018 (a Monday through Friday), the Guild has reserved two mini-lodges and the large activity area, Celebration Hall, at LWR. We can have a maximum of 32 retreaters, and need a minimum of 8 but, judging from the interest at the last Guild meeting, I don t think we are going to have any problem making the minimum. Each mini lodge has: Meeting Date Change: July meeting will be JULY 26. Eight bedrooms Two twin beds are in each bedroom. Each bedroom has a private bathroom. All bed and bath linens are provided, including blankets on the beds. (Continued on page 2) 1

2 (Continued from page 1) A full kitchen Refrigerator, range, microwave Ample counter space A fair selection of pots, pans, kitchen tools, dishes and cutlery A dining area A living room area with a wood stove (cut firewood is provided) The mini lodges are next-door to each other, Celebration Hall, and a good sized parking lot. All facilities are on one level, there are very few stairs, and all buildings are handicapped accessible. Celebration Hall has good natural lighting as well as fluorescent lights and chandeliers. There are many electrical outlets, and floor space is ample. The facility provides banquet tables, but you will probably want to bring your own chair. There are three bonuses associated with this retreat. The first is that, for this retreat only, the Guild is subsidizing the cost of rental for Celebration Hall. This was done to reduce the per-guest cost by nearly $50.00 in hopes of offsetting the unavoidable increase in overall cost due to the last minute change in venue. A second bonus is that LWR has offered to prepare a prime rib and shrimp dinner, complete with salad bar, potato, vegetable, roll and dessert, for $25.00 per person, IF we have at least 20 retreaters sign up for it. Again, I don t think we ll have any problem making the minimum here as everyone I ve talked to so far is interested in this option. I have asked LWR to prepare this dinner for us on Wednesday, October 24 th. A third bonus is that Sheryl, owner of Copper Mountain Quilting in Salmon, has offered to bring her mobile quilt shop to us so we don t have to drive the 58 miles to Salmon. Copper Mountain Quilting is a relatively new shop in the area, and carries a nice mix of traditional and contemporary fabrics, patterns and notions, even some batiks. Copper Mountain will visit our retreat on Wednesday, October 24 th as well. How much is all of this going to cost? Here is a quick breakdown: Shared room* in mini lodge, 4 nights: $33.00/night x 4 = $ $10.56 tax $ Prime rib and shrimp dinner (optional): $ $1.50 tax Total $ *If all 32 spots are not filled, some private rooms may be available at double the shared room price. If you would like to attend this year s retreat please print and fill out the registration form (later in this newsletter) and return it with payment in full to secure your reservation, first come, first served. Make checks or money orders out to Living Waters Ranch. You may turn in your registration and payment to the SRVQG Treasurer at the next Guild meeting, or mail to me (Connie Rafferty 1580 East 300 North, Roberts, ID 83444).

Smile! 6 Months in a Log Cabin Hello again my quilty friends. Can you believe we re already halfway through the 6 Months in a Log Cabin challenge? As a reminder..back in April I asked everyone to spend the 6 months from April to October thinking about, researching, planning and SEWING something using a Log Cabin pattern. You can use any log cabin pattern, any log cabin setting, make any size of log cabin block(s), and then show ANY size/type of completed log cabin project at the October guild meeting Now I m not much of a rule girl, but I do have ONE RULE for this challenge. To play along you must NOT show your log cabin project prior to October. For those of you taking the Not Your Grandmother s Log Cabin class this month, if you plan to be in the challenge DON T SHOW YOUR PROJECT UNTIL IT S COMPLETED IN OCTOBER. The idea is when October rolls around all the projects shown will be new to us. It s a simple rule so please abide by it. Per usual, I ll reward your participation with prizes & awards of a dubious nature and questionable value! Join the fun and spend 6 Months in a Log Cabin with me. Questions? Call/text I m going to be doing the Educational Program at this month s guild meeting and..you guessed it.i ll be presenting LOG CABIN! Hope to see you all there. ~ Marei Montalvo 4

7 Announcements Workshops Date Change! Deborah Poole is coming back for another lecture, Feathers for the Fearful. The lecture will be held Saturday, September 22, 2018 from 10 AM to noon. Please note the date change from last month s announcement. The July Sew-In date was moved and that caused a conflict between the lecture and sew-in. The location will be announced later. Feathers for the Fearful - Want to make feathers but don t know where to start? Students will learn basic feather anatomy as well as many friendly styles of feathers with no backtracking. This class will benefit both long arm and domestic quilters. It is beneficial to new as well as experienced quilters. Deborah will be drawing on the white board and you will be drawing on your paper. The class is 2 hours. Deborah is national award winning machine quilter. Her quilt Wickedly Green is currently on the show circuit and has won numerous prices. Luckily for us, she lives right here in the area. Kim Diehl chose Deborah to quilt her quilts due to her amazing feathers so you will want to hear what she has to say about quilting feathers. Deborah is also the author of the book You Can Quilt It. She will have copies of her book available for purchase at the lecture. Coming Attractions: The guild has arranged for Karen Kay Buckley to teach a class in the summer of 2019 and Pam Holland to teach one in the summer of Is there another teacher you would like us to bring in? Please send me some suggestions. I have tried unsuccessfully for a few years to book Sue Spargo. The last time I communicated with her staff, they told me that Sue doesn t really book workshops with guilds anymore. She mainly books with shops that carry her line of products. Is there someone else who does wool applique you would like to recommend? Call, or talk to me at guild. Questions? See Lynne Saul at guild meeting, or call (evenings) or workshops@srvquiltguild.org ~ Lynne Saul 7
