(11-16) Cactus Paper Piecing. Projects made at Sherrill Ash’s May 15, 2026, DQG Workshop.
(1) Hand Pieced Lone Star: Terry Wojciehowski’s heirloom Lone Star quilt carries a rich family history: her husband’s grandmother handpieced the top using fabric from cloth worn by various family members, mixed with poly-cotton blend fabrics and a muslin background. At the grandmother’s passing, Terry’s sister-in-law, also a sewist, received the quilt , and entrusted Terry with the honor of completing it.
Because the Lone Star is constructed entirely with bias seams, the quilt top contained a tremendous amount of fullness. Preparing it for longarm quilting required several sessions of careful starching and steaming over two days to bring it as close to flat as possible, while preserving the integrity of the piecing. To provide structure and softness, Terry used a double batting combination of 80/20 cotton/poly batting with wool batting layered on top.
Although the quilting design is an edge-to-edge pattern, Terry realized the fullness in the center of the quilt would create challenges, so she long-arm quilted it from the center.
This quilt will be delivered in person when Terry and her husband travel to Indiana, completing the journey that began many years ago, and bringing this treasured family heirloom home.

January 2026
January Program - Board Members' Earliest/Latest Quilts
January 2026. The Guild Board members showed their earliest and latest quilts, along with tips about what they have learned along their quilting journeys.
JANUARY PROGRAM NUMBERS (1-32) BELOW CORRESPOND TO THE QUILTS ABOVE:
Angela Gubler, President
(1) Twinkle, Twinkle (2) Facing the Imposter
Angela continues to move towards purposeful, but patternless, quilt making.
Tip: Don’t put yourself in a box, or accept the labels others want to put on you. Your work is your work, no matter if you follow a pattern or not. No matter if your work trends toward traditional or modern. What you make is defined by you, not someone else.
Evone Pope, Past President
(3) Hearts for my Daughter (4) Dots and Dashes
Evone enjoys hand quilting, and highly recommends the joy and satisfaction of hand quilting.
Tip: She has learned the importance of good measuring techniques for borders, to avoid wavy sides.
Bruce Bussey, President-Elect/Membership
(5) Great Grandmother’s Quilt (6) Summer Retreat Striped Placemats
Bruce is grateful to have a hobby that enables him to create useful items, including blankets.
Colette Thomas, Secretary
(7) Blocks and Ladders (8) Almost a Lone Star
Tip: There’s nothing to be gained by worrying about small mistakes; just keep going.
Sherrill Ash, Treasurer
(9) First Quilt (10) Glass Ceiling
“Glass Ceiling” hung in the Pictorial category of the ’25 Houston International Quilt Festival
Tip: Two most significant techniques: Foundation Paper Piecing (FPP) and Improv. FPP allows creation of wonderful pieces from Sherrill’s favorite pattern designers, and Improv allows her to create many of her original works. Learning to cut without rulers, join unusual shapes, and make decisions as you go takes practice, but provides rewarding results.
Tina Ellis, Assistant Treasurer
(11) A Tribute to our Bears (12)Tiny House Craze
Tina says that “Tiny House Craze” is the happiest quilt she owns!
Tip: Don’t be afraid to choose patterns that make you happy. Save some quilts for you, too!
Sue Licher, Assistant Membership
(13) 1930’s Fabrics First Quilt (14) Little Star
Sue’s recent work uses smaller pieces that her first quilt, but she had the advantage of better tools to work with.
Tip: Sue “unlearned” needle turn applique, which she was able to do on her first project, but cannot do today. She has learned the AppliQuick method, and loves it.
Lynea Askey, Newsletter Editor
15) Mom’s Memory Quilt (16) Brimming Over
Lynea made this quilt in her first quilting class as a gift for her mother’s 75th birthday. Current work is a Kim Diehl kit, and will hang in her husband’s office.
Tip: If you have completed a quilt top — so, before quilting it — and you see an issue that you have to admit is not a “design choice,” fix it! Please fix it! No matter how long it will take. If you don’t fix it, your eye will ALWAYS go to it, and you’ll end up wanting to give the quilt away. Ask me how I know.
Lynda Krupp, Workshops
(17) Rainbow Baby Quilt (18) Mini Moons Wallhanging
Mini-moons was made in the November DQG workshop.
Tip: Lynda enjoys learning new techniques to keep her quilts fresh and interesting.
