President’s Message

Dear Members, was in the grocery store last week and I saw them putting out Hallowe’en candy! What? I just got back from vacation. (I did buy some cute fabric in Florida.) The kids haven’t even gone back to school yet. It

seems like time is moving too quickly. Is it too early to ask if you have started your Christmas projects yet? I know it seems like that is far away, but if you are sewing Hallowe’en costumes for your grandchildren or making them all Christmas stockings you might want to start planning now. That way you will have a chance at completing them on time. I know this month’s message may seem short, but, I returned to my classroom today to start setting up for the school kids. My sewing projects will need to take a back seat for a few weeks. Happy Sewing. ~Maren Larsen, President, San Francisco Quilters Guild

~ Featured Speakers ~ August 20th, 7 P.M.: The History of Appliqué Laurel Anderson presents an overview of appliqué history (including an 1850s-style appliqué quilt and a surprising story of the invention of the sewing machine!), as well as her personal appliqué journey. Laurel will discuss changes

in styles and how they evolved with the fortunes of our progression of appliqué methods and her own exploration of those techniques. Find out more about Laurel and see more of her work at www.whispercolor.com.

September 17th, 7 P.M.: New Animal Quilts In a talk that is part digital presentation and part trunk show, Nancy Brown discusses her approach to design, the stories behind her up-close fabric portraits of giraffes and dozens of other creatures, and how students can make patterns that look like their own pets. Her quilts are all original designs, pieced by machine, and hand-appliquéd and quilted. Learn more about Nancy at www.NancyBrownQuilts.com.

Saturday Sewcials submitted by Mary Whalen Sewcial Happenings Sewcials are an important part of our guild. Sewcials are where we learn new techniques, and relearn those old techniques, share our creativity with each other, and just have fun. Upcoming workshops will be posted on our website and in our newsletter. Teachers are usually hired, so there is often a cost. Register for sewcials at monthly guild meetings; the policy is that you are not on the class list until you’ve paid. The nonrefundable class fees are payable at guild meetings by cash, or by check made out to SFQG. Kit fees are paid directly to the instructor at the class. Unless otherwise noted sewcials are usually 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. but plan to arrive fifteen minutes early (9:45 A.M.) to help set up and get directions so that we can begin on time; and please help with clean-up. In addition to the supply list unique to each sewcial, bring the basics: extension cord, cutting mat or board, rotary cutter, sewing machine, rulers, fabric, threads, safety pins, etc. Students may bring a bag lunch or get a meal nearby; sometimes a lunch is served; always feel free to bring treats to share. There are always fantastic sewcials coming up! Directions to the Police Academy: Sewcials are held at the San Francisco Police Academy at 350 Amber Drive, in Diamond Heights (near Safeway)—for directions: www.google.com/maps/place/350+Amber+Dr,+San+Francisco, or take the SF Muni bus #52. Sewcial News: There is no Community Outreach in August. Joy-Lily is scheduled September 21 for a collage workshop. Contact Joy-Lily at (415) 826-8248 if you would like to sign up for this fantastic workshop. The New Member Sewcial will not be held at the Police Academy, but at Carlton Corners Scout House at 299 Carlton Avenue in San Bruno. August sewcial is canceled .............................................. Community Outreach Sewcial, with guild members

September 21, 10 A.M.–4 P.M. .......................................... Fantasy Collage Workshop, with Joy-Lily = Freddy Moran + Denise Oyama Miller + Salvador Dali

Freddie taught how to cut up and glue pictures from fabric for a fast collage; Denise shared using tulle and some not-so-perfect free-motion stitching to secure all the pieces; Dali adds the “anything goes” factor. Join us to snip, glue, and stitch. There will be hundreds of pre-cut fabric images for you to use. Bring your own picture fabric too. You’ll go home with a small art quilt that you never dreamed of making—unless your dreams are really weird! Sign up at the guild meeting or call (415) 826-8248. Class fee $40.

November 9, 2–4 P.M. .............................. ................................................................. New Member Social We have 65 new members who have joined in the last couple of years. We would love to see all guild members at the New Member Social November 9th at 2 P.M., at Carlton Corners Scout House at 299 Carlton Avenue in San Bruno—this invitation is open for everyone to join us. Enjoy some hands-on fun for a wonderful afternoon. Come meet other members of the guild, and welcome those who are new.

Sharing Our Quilt-Makers’ Stories Every quilter has a story to tell about the quilts they make. Quilts are made to celebrate, remember, for healing or therapy, as art or simply for pleasure. Jeanie Low, guild historian, has been collecting, transcribing, and saving our guild members’ narratives, which are available in their entirety on our

website. This month, Joy-Lily is our featured member quilt-maker. Joy-Lily—Quilt-Maker Joy-Lily, artist and guild member, is the also the author of Carefree Quilts: A Free-Style Twist on Classic Designs. Her quilt “Help, Hope and Hallelujah” was in a Washington, D.C. exhibit shortly after President Obama was elected. Her Artist Statement: “My art falls into the category ‘surface design.’ I am a silk painter, dyer, quilt-maker, and fabric printer. My choices of imagery come from my deep respect for, and fascination with, the natural world. I am

continually surprised and delighted by the astonishing variety, beauty, and fecundity of life around us. Shells, flowers, and leaves offer endless choices of colors and forms to celebrate. I want to remind my viewers that our precious and diminishing ecosystems are also beautiful. “My work has been exhibited in New York; Washington, D.C.; Los Angeles; San Francisco; Santa Fe; Hannover, Germany; and Beijing. For eleven years, I was artist-in-residence through the California Arts Council at 30th Street Senior Center in San Francisco working with elders in textile media. I currently teach fiber arts through adult education and through quilt and art guilds. “I believe that we are all born artists. A lot of people had their natural creativity stifled at an early age. Through teaching, I encourage adults to experience the joy of fashioning original and meaningful products with their hands. My teaching style is collaborative and playful. I offer projects and techniques that are goof-proof to assist students in creating something they’ll love the first time they try a new art process.” www.joy-lily.com ✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄ ✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄

A Note from Our Parliamentarian submitted by Pat Wong Just a reminder that we will vote for our 2019–2020 officers at the September 17th meeting. Please plan to attend. Our nominations are: president: Maren Larsen (incumbent); vice-president: Sumilu Cue; treasurer: Gloria Miller (incumbent); secretary: Cathey Kennedy (incumbent); and parliamentarian: Valerie Lienkaemper. The nominating committee will be at

5

the entrance with ballots, one to each member. Please don’t vote early, as additional nominations could be made from the floor with written consent of the nominee and presented by the recording secretary. We will collect completed ballots during the break between Show & Tell and our speaker, and the results will be announced at the end of the speaker’s presentation. Nominating Committee members: Pat Wong, Maren Larsen, Cher delaMere, Donna Rand, and Betty McNiel. Board Candidates for 2019–2020 Candidate for president: Maren Larsen is currently serving as guild president. She has been a member for many years and during that time she has held numerous positions including past secretary, newsletter editor, opportunity quilt, and block of the month. She has been playing with fabric since she was a young child when she used to scotch tape her mother’s fabric scraps together to make “clothes”. She is self-taught and made her first quilt in high school in the 1970s. Her favorite part of quilting is color selection and piecing. Candidate for vice president: Sumilu Cue joined the guild a couple years ago. Although she made her first quilt (the classic baby-shower gift for a kid who is now in high school), she put aside her sewing machine after moving into a tiny beach cottage with her husband, her dog, and the occasional foster dog in San Diego fourteen years ago and took up printmaking at a coop instead. When she moved back to the Bay Area in 2015, she got her sewing machine tuned up and rediscovered her love of sewing. Through the guild she met Sue Fox and joined one of her 12x12 art groups. And, since joining the guild, Sumilu has been an enthusiastic and energetic volunteer, stepping right up, and getting things done. Candidate for secretary: Cathey Kennedy is currently serving as guild secretary. She has also chaired the Special Exhibits to the last two quilt shows. She joined the guild in 2015 when she moved to San Francisco from Upstate New York after living in an RV for five years exploring the country. She started quilting in the early 1980s when she did everything by hand and her children were still taking naps. Back in New York she taught various aspects of quilting through the local libraries and continuing education through several school systems. She also started a small quilt group that met twice a month to get together

and sew. She still loves to piece, quilt, and needle-turn appliqué by hand, and is also an active member of the Dorcas Hand Quilters. Candidate for treasurer: Gloria Miller has been our guild treasurer since 2011. Prior to being treasurer, she held several guild offices and served as chairperson and member of multiple committees both in and out of the guild. Gloria slept under a quilt as a child and although she began sewing her own clothes in elementary school, she didn’t start making quilts until 1969—and hasn’t stopped sewing or quilting since. The majority of her quilts have been given as gifts and are on beds throughout the U.S.A. and also a few in Europe. While Gloria admires many styles of quilting her favorite is scrap patchwork for the richness a variety of fabrics can bring to a quilt, and for the designing challenges it can present to the maker. She finally has a dedicated sewing room but admits it hasn’t made her a better or faster quilter, maybe the room just better contains her fabric and supplies. She enjoys the peacefulness of sewing alone but also eagerly looks forward to socializing and sharing quilting with her two sewing groups and is always stimulated by our guild speakers, workshops, and seeing the quilts made by our members. Candidate for parliamentarian: Valerie Lienkaemper was a guild member twenty-five years ago, when rotary cutters were a recent invention and machine quilting meant simple designs. She took time off to raise a child, care for her parents, and finish her degree. She re-joined the guild a couple of years ago and is delighted to again be part of such a supportive and nurturing community. Although happy to embrace the advances that allow one to create more with our precious time, Val has also discovered the joy of English paper piecing and has started on a Grandmother’s Flower Garden wedding quilt.

Intentional Holes submitted by Christine M. Anderson While putting together last month’s nametag, I couldn’t find a spare pin back to use. So I got out colored metal one-eighth inch eyelets to install for either a ribbon or elastic neckband. To customize the color to match supporting fabric, try painting with nail polish; let dry overnight and apply a second coat. An eyelet is a small piece of usually brass metal that is used to reinforce a hole in a piece of fabric. Grommets are very similar to eyelets, because they are used to reinforce a hole as well; however, grommets are typically larger and used for more heavy-duty material than eyelets. Through the awl or otherwise small hole-punched gap in material, one side of an eyelet has a projecting barrel that is inserted. It is then set by a tool perched to indent from wrong side of fabric: this will flatten the projection, which allows the barrel flange to spread out, attractively encase the slim amount of fabric and reinforce the hole. Eyelets typically have cords, ribbons, or other fabrics that are drawn through the perforation to reinforce the connection, or ties, to another piece of fabric, for function or as decorations on garments, hats, belts, or shoes. However, I am also persuaded to show you that reflective surfaces for a project may appear to be holes, particularly when

seen from a distance. I showed my abstract fish “Pepper Poisson” quilt at the July Show & Tell now that I have added rainbow shisha mirrors as “fish eyes” to the friendship blocks. Rather than securing to fabric with traditional cretan embroidery-stitch techniques (see: Jean Simpson Shisha Mirror Embroidery ©1978; or any of eight online tutorials by Mary Corbet that lists different types of shisha stitches and options for even more easily available craft mirrors that are substitutions for thin mica mirrors imported from India: https://www.needlenthread.com/2015/08/make-your-own-

tiny-shisha-mirrors.html), I illustrate an optional fast method, with pearl-cotton fiber covering one-inch rings disguising the raw mirror edges. Two are used for the surfer wagon headlamps on another quilt. If you’re adventurous in recycling, cut up a CD for its shiny reflective surface to any size you want. Instead of mirrors, use coins minted in the year of the celebration or the souvenirs from travels. My tarnish-resistant lined silver-tray case decorated with

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is such a sample of the embroidery floss-covered drapery ring Quick and Easy method. The photo with three sample ornaments offers: 2003 train trip; floral knots added to cretan stitches in place of the round numbers in the year 2004 Hecata Lighthouse formation and blanket-stitch covered curtain ring to suspend linen ornament; and in 2005 a “sun” with classic cretan stitches with cotton floss. The “Quick and

Easy Method” is simply the fiber coverage of a metal or plastic ring that can be whipped or blanket stitched and then lashed over the mirror with tiny securing stitches to desired surface. ✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄ ✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄

Community Outreach submitted by Adrienne Hickman Quilts received at July guild meeting for: Community Outreach Fire Survivor 17 preemie quilts; 1 finished lap quilt; 43 pillowcases; 1 finished quilt; 9 baby quilts; 10 baby/lap quilt tops; 2 tops. Christmas (Holiday) Drawstring Tote Bags. Once again we are helping Trudy Hom-Gee’s Christmas project. This year the bags will go to two groups: the Opioid Treatment Program at Fort Miley, which is an outpatient-treatment program helping veterans with opioid abuse or addiction, and the Medical Respite and Sobering Center through the San Francisco Health Network, which helps women get back on their feet after alcohol dependency. Trudy has assembled fifty kits and patterns for the Christmas Drawstring Tote Bags. You can pick a couple up at the August meeting; they’ll need to be turned in by the October guild meeting. Donations of travel-size toiletries will also be accepted at the next three

meetings. Fire Survivor Quilt Project. We have sixty-eight finished quilts for our final shipment to Paradise! That means we have exceeded our goal of a hundred—by nine! Special recognition

to Karen Reiter who has been processing all the quilts and who has quilted twenty, and to John Maxwell who has bound that twenty plus many more! Thank you to all who contributed fabric, tops, backs, quilting, or binding, and to the whole guild for allocating the money for quilting and batting. We did it! Lost and Found. Are you missing a two-step folding stool? One was left at the quilt show. Please let me know if it is yours! Are you missing some folded money? I found some on the floor next to the garage door at the last meeting. Tell me how much and how it was folded and it’s yours.

— Quilt Show 2021 Updates — submitted by Alex Byrne

2021 Quilt Show—Doing Things Differently Fewer meetings—that is my aim for the 2021 quilt-show committee! I am looking for volunteers to join the 2021 quilt-show committee and I would love to introduce a few changes I think will help us all. (1.) I want to make more use of email and phone- or skype-type meetings so we don’t all need to give up our Saturday mornings, which I know is difficult for many of us. (2.) I want to work with everyone who volunteers to develop a simple plan for their portion of the show so that these can be used as templates in future years. This will make it easier for new people to step into these roles and for people to change roles from year to year. (3.) All these plans will help us all see what we need to do—and when—so it will be easy to track our progress without needing to meet in person as often. (4.) We will still meet a few times ahead of the show to get to know each other and make decisions, but no more than once a quarter, and we’ll discuss which days/times are best for this committee. (5.) Wondering why we always do or don’t do something? I want to hear from you! Everything is up for discussion from the show layout to the color of the viewer’s-choice stickers.

I am delighted to announce that there will be a Member’s Marketplace! Cathy Spencer has already volunteered, which is wonderful. Email me at lixieyarnover@gmail.com to let me know how you want to get involved.

Confirming Joe Cunningham: Our Featured Artist

Joe Cunningham, an SF resident, guild affiliate, and internationally recognized artist, will be our featured artist at the 2021 quilt show. Many of you have met Joe and more will be familiar with his work from his local, national, and international shows, and from his website joethequilter.com/. Joe was the featured artist at our guild quilt show in 2003 and has continued to develop his style and grow his reputation since then. The member artist has yet to be chosen with nominations opening at the July meeting and continuing at the August meeting and until August 24th. Many of you completed a questionnaire on the 2019 show and nominated members in July.

QuiltAway 2020 submitted by Jeanne Matysiak Exciting news! We have Walker Creek ranch reserved for our QuiltAway 2020 retreat June 25–28. There will also be an

option of coming a day early to relax, sew, and enjoy the beautiful property. What could be better than spending a long weekend with friends and fabric? Be sure to save these dates! We are going to have a fabulous time. Our workshop instructors are confirmed: Colleen Granger, Lisa Norton and Lora Zmak [Material Girlfriends], Julia McLeod and Sue Fox [Silk & Salvage], and Joy-Lily are bursting to the seams with great ideas and projects—choosing your workshop(s) is going to be a challenge!

Sue Fox and Julia McLeod of Silk & Salvage will host two one-day workshops highlighting both Fox’s free-piecing techniques and Julia’s more precise fabric-foundation methods. Each day will focus on different component styles. They will teach some techniques and you will make blocks for our 2021 opportunity quilt. Work with silks coordinated into a cohesive color story. Bring your own fabrics and make a few components for your own silk quilt as

well. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity! Our super creative Joy-Lily is planning an Indigo Shibori Workshop for fabric and/or ready-to-wear garments. Walker Creek is the perfect spot to start your next

wearable art garment for the 2021 guild show and Joy-Lily brings her expertise to share with you. You are going

to love spending the day with this creative instructor, dyeing fabric for your next project(s). Look for samples at our meetings in the coming months. By popular demand, the Material Girlfriend sisters are joining us for the

retreat. Lisa and Lora were our June guild-meeting speakers and many of you asked for workshops, so they are planning two

one-day workshops for us: Confetti Hunters Star and Open Options. Coming to us from San Rafael is the super talented Colleen Granger. She will also offer two one-day workshops, Magic Mountain and Rings of Change. I am already thinking about color

options for these stunning quilts.

QuiltAway 2020 is going to be grand. Registration forms will be offered at the September meeting as well as on the website. We will be accepting sign-ups starting with the October meeting. Plan to have a $200 deposit check payable to SFQG to hold your reservation. The balance will be due by March. If you have any concerns, please email Jeanne at matysiak@earthlink.net. ✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄ ✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄

Spotlight on Our Affiliates ~submitted by Ginger Ashworth San Francisco Quilters Guild wants to shine a spotlight on all of our affiliates. Please send updates so your information

can be imparted to fellow guild members. Wee Scotty (609 Clement St., SF) is sharing their guest speaker, Louis Carney, a “machine expert.” He will show up on October 5th, from 10 A.M.–5 P.M. to help “up our skills” with hands-on tutorials in software, machine feet, and specialty attachments. His familiarity with machine products and industry knowledge ensures a fun and informative time to be had by all. You can get free admission by using code MACHINEVIP when you register at www.weescotty.com. Wee Scotty loves hosting events and wants to do more to include the “sewing community”; guild members: tell them what you’re interested in! Silk & Salvage (Sue Fox and Julia McLeod) is soon offering three classes at Bay Quilts (5327 Jacuzzi Street, Richmond). If you

happen by the store, head upstairs where you will see their shiny Pomegranate Sampler. Each of the techniques stand alone beautifully, and ways will be shared that you can use each technique for pillows, or to make a variety of quilt blocks and borders, or to use as garment embellishment, or to make the actual Pomegranate Sampler quilt. " Sunday, September 8, 1:30–4:30: Crazy Patchwork Pieces " Sunday, October 13, 1:30–4:30: Fabric Foundation Piecing " Sunday, November 17, 1:30–4:30: Silk Appliqué For details and to register for any or all of these classes, contact Bay Quilts www.SFBayQuilts.com.

Block of the Month submitted by Julia McLeod July’s winner of a stack of orange-and-white ‘Open Options’ blocks was JoAnn Vail. Congratulations, JoAnn! That was a popular block—JoAnn won eleven 12" x12" blocks—a quilt just waiting to happen! Thank you to everyone who participated. This month’s block is our first appliqué block of 2019. Laurel Anderson, August’s guest speaker, creates beautiful appliqué quilts featuring flowers, landscapes, people, and pets. I found an image of a sweet little ginger jar for us to copy. You can get a pdf of the pattern here: www.sfquiltersguild.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/BOM-August-2019-Pattern.pdf. I will also have hard copies of the pattern available at our August 20th guild meeting. I used two different appliqué methods for this piece, but feel free to use your favorite technique. For the body of the vase and its rim I used the freezer-paper method. Follow this video for a step-by-step demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlBj8DAp-Jk. I used the interfacing/turn-inside-out method for the lid and its little

handle. The video that explains that trick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djvh4Hx6ZoA. Cut your background 12½" square and attach the appliqué to the background by hand stitching or using your machine’s appliqué stitch. My block has a patterned yellow background with blue fabrics for the pot that remind me of china. Feel free to pick your own colours, but keep them light—think of “an afternoon tea” color scheme. You have until September 17th to work on this block. Bring yours to the September meeting. If you’re the lucky winner, I know you’ll have the makings of a beautiful quilt! September’s newsletter will feature our final block of the month for this year. If, like me, you’ve been making a version of the block for yourself to keep each month, you’ll have nine blocks to put into a quilt. I’d love to see all and any block-of-the-month related quilts at Show & Tell! Email me at

julia.mcleod7@gmail.com with any questions or comments. Happy Quilting! ✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄ ✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄✄
