GENERAL MEETING - TUESDAY,

August 8, 2017

San Clemente Presbyterian Church, 119 N Ave De La Estrella, San Clemente, CA 92672

“Everything Old Is New Again”

The thirty-three entries in the 2017 Surfside Challenge will really wow you!

There is everything from a sofa to a floor rug, along with pillows, a dog bed,

and a vest! We also have, of course, an amazing group of wonderfully crea-

tive quilts for you all to enjoy.

The challenge kit included a vintage grandmother’s flower garden block from a

donation to the guild of 45 blocks. The other 15 were made by Candy Martin

and Jan Hirth. The block was not required to be in the quilt but you will be

amazed at how creative quilters were in using them.

Hoffman Fabrics representative Michelle Flores will give a presentation on

their newest fabrics as well as their 2017 Challenge. She will be showing

some of the challenges entered this year. Jean Impey, a SQG member, is in

charge of their challenge.

WHAT TO WEAR: In keeping with the theme of the challenge, Everything

Old is New Again, it will be fun to wear vintage (or just old) clothes, and/or a

hat (old or new). If you don’t have a vintage outfit or a hat, wear the colors of

the challenge: green, bright pink or gray. Whatever your attire, just come and

enjoy the beautiful quilts and visiting with your quilting friends.

It’s August and time for our biennial Member’s Challenge presentation and results! Leslye Stringfellow and Jan Hirth have outdone themselves, and I know we will have so many surprises to see at our meeting! Who will win the prizes? Who will be the overall Challenge winner??? Maybe it will be YOU!! The 2017-2018 Directory is being readied for printing and may actually be ready for the August meeting! I hope you are enjoying the occasional email “Extra!’s”! I have enjoyed your

responses, and I have learned a lot about your passions for our Guild. Thank you for every com-ment (both the good and the not-so-good). Please know that all of your names are kept confidential by me. This month I emailed you an informal survey requesting your personal opinion of an online directory either concurrent with (or in place of) the printed membership directory and I received replies from over 25% of you within the week. I was thrilled that so many of you took the time. The poll results? I stopped counting the night before our last SQG Board Meeting so I could present your opinions to the Board. The final count was ONE more vote for online than for printed. I think we all agree that one informal vote doesn’t make or break decisions; but it does say something about our lives and times. I will be arranging a meeting with those of you who offered to be on an exploratory team for imple-menting a safe, password protected, printable, online listing - with photos. If you want to be in-volved, but haven’t told me yet, please contact me directly. Don’t forget to take some time for enjoying our hobby - quilting! See you at the General Meeting! Choose to be happy…

Debbie Knutson

If you have an August birthday bring a treat, either sweet or savory, to share with your fellow members. If you don’t have an August birthday bring something anyway! Put your name in the basket for a drawing for the table flowers.

We had a fun day creating Halibut with Cindy Cooksey in our July workshop. Instead of a workshop on August 9th we will be having a Sew-Cial at the San Juan Capistrano Mobile Estates. Nancy Ota will give us a demonstration on appliqué - in particular how she does the lettering on our president's quilts. Please bring in your current machine or hand sewing pro-ject, the $10 fee, and lunch for a fun and informal day of sewing and socializing. This is a great way to get to know some of the wonderful quilters in our guild better. Monica Shafer will be bringing in more great patterns and fabrics for those who would like to make some-thing for our Surfside November Fest Boutique. On September 13th Sandy Corbin will be doing her workshop "My Basket Collection". You can either make this beautiful quilt with all 16 baskets or the 1/4 quilt with 4 baskets. We will give you the supply list for either option. Her pattern for this quilt of baskets will be available for purchase at $11. Her website is sandycquilts.com On October 11th Claudia Gomez will show us how to make her stylish and modern Quilt Market Tote. She will demonstrate improvisational piecing techniques, Stitch in the Ditch and Free Motion quilting.

The Santa Clarita Valley Quilt Guild hosted the summer quarter meeting at the William S. Hart Park in Newhall. It was a lovely venue as it is also the site of the William S. Hart Museum. Bud and I en-

joyed the former home and now museum following the meeting.

Council is seeking nominations for VP Membership, Parliamentarian, and Treasurer. Insurance ap-plications are closing, SQG's insurance is in good standing. Future meeting topics were announced

and include; fund raisers, membership involvement, and philanthropy.

Guilds to host council meetings are requested and SCCQG pays $500 to cover expenses.

The speaker Mr. Gerry Olsen, a Registered Parliamentarian spoke of the requirements of Bylaws, Standing Rules of Conduct, and the conduction of meetings.

After reading the Bylaws as printed in our directory, I feel that the SQG Bylaws are well stated and complete. Mr. Olsen pointed out that rules and conduct of various guilds vary. Bylaws of the

organization supersede “Roberts Rules”. One thing we do not have for the “President” or “Chairman” is a gavel. The gavel is to be used three ways; open meetings, stop chatter by ad-

dressing those talking out of turn with “remarks to the chair please”, and to close meetings.

Our next meeting will be: WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 2017, 10 AM - 2:00 PM SAN CLEMENTE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 119 AVENIDA DE LA ESTRELLA IN SAN CLEMENTE Thank you to members who dropped off the many quilts that were shown at the July General Meeting. Every one of you deserves a pat on the back; we are very appreciative and thankful for all you do to support Phi-

lanthropy.

Our hardworking Stashbusters (there were 19 of us) spent Wednesday, July 19 cutting backs, batting, and binding, sewing kits prepared by Charlotte Spere and Barbara Ann Christensen, and sorting fabrics. Our longarm quilters, Cathie Opila and Vivien Hawker took several quilts with them. Several others took projects home. Join us on August 16. Bring your lunch too. We thank members who have donated beautiful fabrics in the past few months . Our storage area is bulg-ing. If you have fabrics you would like to donate, we ask that you wait until Fall because so that we will have

the space to house your donations.

Olive Crest and Illumination Foundation are charities SQG has supported for several years. Both of these groups provide shelter for children; each of them can house up to 30 children. They are in need of kid-themed quilts, especially quilts made from character themed fabrics. Such as Minions, Paw Patrol, etc. as well as anything kid-themed. Our other projects include Furnishing Hope – neutral/tranquil quilts for our warriors with PTSD; Fairview Development Home for wheelchair young adults and Meals on Wheels – Senior shut ins. Stop by the Philanthropy table at the August meeting for kits, quilting projects, or binding. Purchase Fat Quarters. We will have a selection for your to choose from, including Christmas.

Join us on August 16th. There is plenty to do: sew on your own philanthropy project or ours; prepare backs, batting and binding; cut kits; go through our stash for fabric to use in your Philanthropy project. ***Our host church is grateful for the small toiletries and non-perishable food items we deliver each month. You can

leave them on the hearth in the Fireside Room as you check in for the meeting.

BLOCK OF THE MONTH - SEPTEMBER Angela Miller angelavtquilts@gmail.com 802-578-9957

The Block of the Month is on vacation in August when we have the presentation of the Everything Old is New Again Challenge Quilts. If you would like to participate in the September Block of the Month exchange for the Take Me 4 a Spin block, bring your block(s) to the September meeting (turn in one block or more to go into a drawing to win all the turned in blocks!) You might be lucky. The blocks for the last two month are available in the last 2 newsletters if you haven't tried them yet. Pinwheels? Orange peels? Diamonds? Try something new. See you in September! Angela Miller

TAKE ME 4 A SPIN This pinwheel block with a 3D effect will make any

quilt more fun. It can be made in any size, since all squares used are the

same size.

For our block:

4 4" squares, print cotton, fun red (or white or blue print)

stripes are especially nice

4 4" squares, cotton, blue solid, to contrast

Coordinating thread, cotton. Press 4 red (or white or blue print) squares diagonally in half, right sides out. Line up 4 blue squares, right sides up. Place red (or white or blue print) triangles on top of blue squares, matching cut edges , across the lower right corner. All triangles should be in the same position. Take the top red (or white or blue print) corner of the triangle on right hand side of the block and fold it in half, back on itself, bring the point to the bottom right corner. Pin. Repeat for all four squares. Baste. Using a 1/8" seam, sew folded triangle points with basting stitch on all squares. Spin the squares to have the folded corners pointing to the center to look like a pinwheel. Sew block. Using 1/4" seams, make 2 matching sets of two, then sew sets together, matching center point. * Hint. This is a bulky block, so 3 or 4 machine stitches in the center where the seams nest can hold better than a pin. Check your center. If perfect, proceed. If not, redo. Press. These block seams will have a preferred direction to lie due to the extra fabric.

SHOW & TELL Nancy Pestal butterflynp@cox.net 949-492-9855

Susan Staebell bblasst@gmail.com 949-495-6141

Thank you to those thirteen inspired women who showed their creations at the July meeting. We are always, always impressed by the ideas and skills shown by every-one during Show and Tell. Technically, there will be no Show and Tell at our August meeting. However, we hope that everyone will come for the "Something Old is New" display, which is actually another way to "show and tell"! Keep on quilting!

No August Show & Tell. Bring your Show & Tell items in September. Susan Staebell Nancy Pestal

Susie Russell presented “Hope Blooms”. She saw the pattern at Road2CA 2016 and fell in love with the soft colors and pattern. She made her version using nine blocks of the original twelve block pattern. Her quilt will be a wall hanging or draped on a quilt rack. It is com-pletely hand appliqued and hand quilted. She used the freezer paper method of appliqué. Each appliqued piece is outlined in hand quilting. Then four quilt blocks are echo quilted and the remaining are hand quilted in half inch grid. The border is hand quilted using echo quilting as well as a one inch grid. The quilt took her a year to complete.

Maggie Bell made “Patriotic Conversion”

for herself in 2010 using a pattern from

Ricky Tims. Idea from similar wall hang-

ing made by Marianne Cunningham of

BCQG. Starburst quilting done with silver

metallic thread.

“USA” by Linda

Walters. Patriotic

sampler with USA

label. Industrial

quilting with perle

cotton.

12

“Chenille Cat” was made by Ursula Hartunian from a Quilt Cupboard kit. There are three layers of fabric, sewn every half inch on a diagonal, then cut between the stitching lines. A trip to the washer and dryer and Viola! - a chenille cat.

“Speedy Recovery” shown by Vickie Janis. A good friend is on a list for a lung transplant and she thought he needed a cozy quilt for his recovery time - six weeks at UCLA. She transferred photos to fabric, quilted a fishy theme since Gary has owned several boats including charters out of LA and San Diego. Lots of prayers went into this quilt asking God to watch over Gary until the lung is in place and working.

Elizabeth Geer ‘s friend Pat Minnesang showed her this quilt. Forty years ago when Pat taught 2nd grade, her students painted these squares for a 1776 Liberty quilt. Even though she didn’t sew, Pat and a friend managed to make a quilt out of them.

13

Lynn Tweet made this table runner from the July Block of the

Month pattern. It was a new technique in reverse appliqué for her

and she found it to be fun.

Candy Martin showed her “Vintage Butterflies” quilt.

She was given the butterfly blocks by Jan Hirth and

this is what she created with them. The quilt will go to

her granddaughter Isla.

“Reef’s Quilt” Candy Martin made this quilt for

her grandson Reef and will give it to him for his

sixth birthday.

14

Margaret Shea shared her quilt “Love From Above”. Margaret has an anxiety disorder and her therapist encourages her to quilt. All of a sudden she started notic-ing small giraffe figurines ap-pearing on the shelves and ta-bles in her office. She told Mar-garet that she admires giraffes for their maternal instincts and that they always appear gentle, quiet, and calm. They have one of the largest hearts in the ani-mal kingdom because of the dis-tance required to pump the blood to the brain. Margaret felt she needed to make a state-ment; then she saw this quilt pat-tern at the very last Long Beach Quilt Show. The pattern is by Keri Duke from original art work by Charley Harper. She nar-rowed and shortened the pattern and it now hangs on loan in her therapist’s office since she can-not accept the quilt as a gift. The machine quilting was done by Donna Westor.

“Butterflies in Flight” was shared by Nancy Pestal. She

saw the butterfly panel and the quilt sample in Kearney,

Nebraska. She cut up the panel—butterflies fly!

Carol Devino showed

her “Spider Web” pillow

which she made in Jean

Impey’s workshop after

her presentation at

Beach Cities Quilters

Guild in June. Jean has

worked out a great proc-

ess for making the spider

web design.

“Now I Know My ABC’s” by Vickie Janis. Vickie bought

this pattern, Quilts on Cloud Nine by Diane Duran & Kim

Meyers almost ten years ago with the intention of making

it for her first grandchild. Life got busy so she though she

would make it for the 2nd grand….five grandkids later

Vickie’s buddy Sheri said she better get the quilt made

before #6 left for college. SO, Georgia is turning two on

July 18th and the quilt is finished WITH a label. It is a fun

quilt with Georgia’s favorite Minky on the back, Vickie

loved doing the machine quilting.
