Meeting Minutes - October 1, 2024

  • Community quilt - the finished top was displayed at the meeting.  

  • Fundraising- quite a few items were donated for our November 16 Holiday Faire table in La Selva Beach.  Lori brought more kits for snap bags. There was a sign up for volunteers to help with the event from 10-4 that Saturday 

  • Library vs sew days - Pat will set up a monthly sew day at the church and the library days will be canceled.

  • Demo with Kathrin Brown - Kathrin demonstrated skinny piecing.  She recommends a YouTube video with Irene Roderick. She starts with a ¾” - 1” strip, and pieces it with the skinny strip on top of the other piece. She then presses away from the skinny strip, trims it  to ¼”, and sews as close as possible to the previous seam, and then presses away from the skinny  strip again. The same technique can also be used to make curved strips.

  • The  SBAMQG board election is next month. We also need retreat committee volunteers.  Kathrin  volunteered to be program director.

  • Quilty events:  There is a Refuge exhibit at the San Jose Quilt museum

  • The Swap in December is for a  table runner. There will be an online form sent out. The deadline for entering will be 10/8, and the swap will be held at the December meeting.

  • Next SBAMQG meeting - 10/29

  • There will be a Donation quilt meeting on Thursday. 

  • Show and tell:  Sheryl, Karen, and Gene shared quilts, along with Gene’s two sweaters with blue ribbons from the Santa Cruz County Fair.  Anna, Sheryl, Shauna and Kathrin modeled personal created garments
