This month’s block was re-engineered by member Kathy Howard and was inspired by a vintage quilt block in a quilt shown by past President Lynne Nostrant!
Use Kathy’s detailed instructions and the color palette below to complete your blocks by the January 2020 meeting!
Claire designed our latest Block of the Every Other Month: an Irish Chain with a modern twist.
The color palette includes pickle, orangeade, gumdrop and cypress. While the background of the block is composed of white or of-white. All fabrics should be solid or “read as solid”.
The full instructions can be found on Claire’s blog.
Hello South Bay Quilters!
We had a wonderful meeting in August with many of us bringing our ideas, enthusiasm and quilts to share.
We are looking forward to our annual retreat in September at Happy Valley Conference Center.
We still have room in our Tara Faughnan workshop. Details are listed HERE.
The results of our design challenge for next year’s charity quilt for QuiltCon was announced. The winning quilt
is titled “Persisterhood” and features hundreds of flying geese in the background and graphic letters spelling out the
title. The color scheme is grey scale with white lettering. More about this project will be discussed at our September meeting.
This quilt will hang at QuiltCon 2020.
Lynn shared with us her beautiful collection of vintage quilts. The hand piecing and quilting was such a pleasure to feel and see.
As always, we had many beautiful quilts to share.

Hello South Bay Modern Quilters!
We had a lovely guild meeting in July with an exchange and lots of beautiful quilts.
We started with Karen’s tutorial on her “bubble” block which will be our next Block of the Every Other Month.
Beautiful, organic curves are the feature of this technique. The Palette and more information on this block can be found HERE.
Then, we had our notions exchange and so many beautiful things were made for our swap partners.
We announced our upcoming workshop with Tara Faughnan.
We also announced our January 2020 workshop with Timna Tarr
