  • Timna Tarr Workshop: Map Making with Fabrics

    January 20, 2020

    Timna Tarr flew out to teach us Map Making with Fabrics.

    We had the option of prepping our own map, or Timna prepped maps of Santa Cruz County for us to choose from. We had 22 members and non-members attend this workshop, making for a good group of different maps. Everyone shared the story behind the maps they chose: grandparent’s land with old maps as they remember properties before city growth, favorite vacation places, places they grew up, etc.

    Timna walked us through her process of preparing different types of map quilts, surprising us all with the many techniques she uses to develop her quilts. Some had piped roads, while others used blank spaces as roads. She taught us her double-sided heat bond technique of building her maps and a few techniques for attaching piped roads. We finished the workshop with a quick introduction to her Designing with Flying Colors workshop. Thank you Timna for visiting our guild!

  • June 2019 Meeting Recap

    July 4, 2019

    Hi there South Bay Quilters

    We had a busy June with both our guild meeting as well as hosting quilter Chawne Kimber who came to present a trunk show, and teach two workshops.

     

    At our June meeting, we reminded members who are participating in our  notions swap that they would be due at our July meeting. (July 9) We will do our exchange then.

    , 

    We also voted on the color palette for the next Aurora Borealis – a gorgeous, galaxy inspired palette.

     

    We also discussed the 2020 QuiltCon Charity quilt and design contest. A different take on how we will decide on the design, we are having a contest and challenging our guild members to submit an original quilt design. The MQG has decided that this years’ theme is Quilts with Text and the color palette is grey scale. Further details can be found on the MQG Website HERE.  Though the MQG has called for grey scale, we will allow 2% of color in your design. You can design whatever you like, using words and text. Your imagination is your only limit. After submitting all the designs, the guild as a whole will vote on the quilt design they want to make.

     

    Of course, we had a great showing of our members’ work at show and tell.

    Later that week, we had the privilege of having Chawne Kimber present a talk and trunk show for our guild as well as teach two workshops.  Thank you Chawne for your bold and raw, honest work. Our guild members had such a great time learning Tiny Piecing as well as improv hand quilting.

  • June 2018 Meeting Recap

    June 11, 2018

    We had a fantastic meeting as always  and one of our most favorite meetings is when we have a big reveal. This month, we did our bag swap exchange and found out who had stitched up something beautiful and useful for us. The choices for this swap were to make either a tote bag or a zipper pouch for our recipient. So many lovely things were made.

    Our June meeting started out with a bag swap. Over 30 of us participated in making bags for our guild mates! #sbamqg

    A post shared by SBAMQG (@sbamqg) on Jun 5, 2018 at 9:11pm PDT

    Thanks to everyone who participated!

    Next, we had an informational talk from Kathy about what she has learned recently on quilt preservation and storage. There was so much information shared and Kathy provided a print out with lots of valuable facts and advice so that our work can last for generations to come. Such a wonderful sharing of what is important to us all. Here is a photo of a quilt that Kathy saved from motor oil and years of stains.

    Kathy spoke about quilt preservation and shared her learnings from an @sonicstitches lecture at #quiltcon2018 #sbamqg Pictured is a quilt she helped clean and preserve.

    Onward with our meeting and discussions about upcoming workshops. We are excited to have our own Karen Foster come and teach us Improv Abstraction Log Cabin on August 25. There still are a few spots left! Don’t miss out on this fantastic class.

    In December, we are so excited to be having Denyse Schmidt come to teach advanced improv to our guild. This gives us a chance to delve even deeper into what improv skills we already have and to learn from Denyse, who is one of the founders of what inspired the MQG and introduced quilting to a new generation of quilters with a fresh voice. There is already a wait list for this workshop, but if you still would like to add your name, please contact us. sbamqg@gmail.com

    And, of course, as always, we had a wonderful show and tell.

  • Pam Rocco Workshop

    April 29, 2016

    How lucky are we at the SBAMQG to have the incomparable Pam Rocco as a member, friend, and guild Vice President? We definitely know how lucky we are and we make use of her experience, knowledge, and wonderful energy every way we can. Last week, for instance, we enjoyed a workshop with Pam in which she taught us how to make her famous 1/4-Log Cabin quilt. As many readers know, Pam writes a monthly column for Quilter’s Newsletter magazine. (Her writing is entertaining and her quilts are outstanding!) This particular quilt, which was featured in a recent QN issue, has proven to be quite popular and you can read about it and get a free pattern here: Quilter’s Newsletter.

    As for our workshop, it was a great way to spend a rainy day and we had so much fun!

    Pam instructs her eager students:

    The SBAMQG always appreciates a good trunk show (this is just a peek):

    Here we are, hard at work:

    IMG_9277IMG_9276IMG_9278

    Elaine works super fast:

    Here’s some early progress. It appears that many of us were inspired by Pam’s blue and green quilt:

    IMG_3709IMG_3713IMG_3724IMG_3723IMG_3720IMG_3718IMG_3716

    But quite a few of us had other ideas too:

    It will be exciting to see what we come up with. Thank you Pam – it was so much fun!
