A PVQA Thanksgiving Zoom Drop In
Thursday, November 26
11:00 am – 1:00 pm
Come join your guild friends in a Drop In Zoom group Thanksgiving Day anytime between 11 am and 1 pm.
Thanksgiving 2020 is coming up… What a year we’ve been having. This year is unlike any we’ve had before. Many of us are not able to share the holiday with family and friends because of the virus.
Let’s chat, drink (your beverage of choice), and share at least part of the day. In a year with lots of challenges, let’s try and celebrate things we’re grateful for. I for one am grateful for our guild community. Meeting on Zoom is helping make days pass more enjoyably. I’m also learning new techniques, getting quilts designed and completed.
Hope to see you on Zoom. If you want to Thanksgiving Zoom, send Nancy Gonzlaes-Caro an email for the Zoom information at smallquiltgroups@pvqa.org. Information will also go out in the newsletter and an eBlast next week.
The Design Process – From Concept to Quilt
Monday, December 14th
7:00 pm
Tina Curran
We’re in for a treat in December! Instead of our traditional Holiday Party, Katie and Pam have scheduled an online lecture by Tina Curran, an art quilter from Southern California, at our regular meeting on Mon., Dec. 14, 2020. Besides making quilts, Tina designs and sells quilt patterns through shops on Etsy and Craftsy. People who buy her quilt patterns often ask, “Did that come out of your head?” Tina’s lecture, “The Design Process–From Concept to Quilt,” answers that question. In her lecture, Tina shares the process she follows, sometimes linear, sometimes circuitous, which ends with a finished quilt. Through her lecture, illustrated with many original quilts, Tina hopes to demystify the creative process and encourage others to start designing their own quilts. Note: Members, you can do this! The process of designing a quilt can be taught, and Tina will show you how.
Mile-a-Minute Quilts
Monday, January 11th
7:00 pm
Sally Miller
Join Sally Miller, a Carmel quilter, as she details a nearly 20-year long joy ride, using up her scraps as efficiently and quickly as possible as she made Mile-a-Minute quilts. Inspired by an article in American Quilter Magazine, she embarked on an continuing project which resulted in many lively quilts, a tidier studio and an empty waste basket.
Unconventional & Unexpected – Quilts that Break the Rules
Monday, March 8
7:00 pm
Roderick Kiracofe
Roderick Kiracofe, a noted quilt collector and author from San Francisco, will give a lecture at our regular meeting on Monday, March 8, 2021. Titled “Unconventional & Unexpected–Quilts that Break the Rules, his lecture will feature quilts from his extensive collection. He’ll explain how old things from the basement, the garage or his grandmother’s house around the corner in Indiana intrigued and then hooked his interest. You’ll see his favorite quilts, which are pieced, often crudely quilted or tied and full of printed fabrics, yet at the same time quirky, funky and soulful expressions of quiltmakers who broke the rules. Join us for a memorable night of the exotic and unusual!
