    Please join us for an informative show and tell meeting on the first Monday evening of the month.

    The get-together will be an informal, social event but moderated and with a structure to help everyone get the most out of the meeting and fully participate. 

    There will be a chance to show and tell us about your latest completed project.

    You might care to show us what you are currently working on and maybe get help and advice if you are getting a bit stuck.

    If you have recently learnt a new technique perhaps you might like to tell us about it or even show us how to do it.

    You can share anything quilting related that you wish - we are talking about websites, shows, shops, patterns, notions, techniques - the list is endless - if you find it of interest it is likely others will also.

    Please do sign up and give this meeting a try. It will be a great chance to get to know each other better, especially if you are not able to get to mid-week or in-person meetings.

    Whether in person or over zoom, it's a great opportunity for togetherness.  For those in person, it's another opportunity to head out to lunch afterwards to one of the diners nearby.  Please make sure all the quilters present feel invited to join in.

     Rose has been sewing for 45 years, quilting for 30, and personal training for 17.  She states that quilting can literally be a pain in the neck or shoulders or lower back.  She will speak on the ergonomics of sewing, pressing, cutting, and handiwork.  Her stretches, which can be done in the sewing area, are designed for quilters’ trouble spots.  Her goal is to educate her audience so that they can “sew smart to sew long”.

    Ever wonder - what would this quilt look like if I made it in another color way? If I used plaids and stripes instead of florals? Well, Tammy can't tell you what EVERY quilt would look like, but she can help us explore some practical examples together! In a fun format, she will guide us to compare quilts made in florals versus batiks, reproduction fabrics versus crisp modern prints, brights versus pastels. Her goal for this lecture will be to help us gather inspiration and insight into the choices for our next project!

Two Day Sew Day Feb 1-2, 2025

We had great fun at the Two Day Sew Day, where we worked on Quilts of Valor projects and were present for a moving QOV presentation. Many thanks to Achieva Credit Union for their donation. Additionally, we worked on children's quilts the second day. For more details including lots of beautiful pictures, see the March, 2025 issue of Threadtales.

SQC Retreat 2024 April 4-7, 2024

We had a great time at our 2024 Retreat! The theme this year was Spring Time. For one of our group activities, we made floral nine patches to make into a charity quilt. A number of beautiful quilt tops were finished, and some were even quilted while we were there!



2024 President's Challenge Winners

Congratulations to our winners this of year's challenge to create a quilt inspired a book with minimum perimeter 72”.  Francie Nelson won Best Meets the Challenge and President's Choice and Mary Lou Cunningham won Member's Choice.

Francie Nelson’s entry depicts the book Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White, 1952   Size of quilt: 18”x19”.

Charlotte’s Web is a book about friendship (and many other things).  In her quilt, she included Charlotte, the confident spider who tries to save Wilber, the shy lonely pig, from being Christmas dinner.   Charlotte does this by spinning nice comments about him in her web.  The first comment was: “SOME PIG”.  Francie changed the comment to “SOME GUILD”.  The guild, like Charlotte, also fosters friendship and support to members.  Francie loves this book. Francie won First Place for Best Meets the Challenge and President’s Choice.

Mary Lou Cunningham’s entry is inspired by the book Secret Garden by Fances Hodgson Burnett, Author, Charles Robinson, Illustrator. First published - British edition 1911. Quilt Pattern - Grandmother's Garden English paper piece

Mary Lou writes, “This has been a learning quilt for me. Never did I ever think I would like English paper piecing, but here I am one quilt later. The biggest thing I learned--I like the 3/8th seam allowance. Putting the blocks together into a quilt presented another challenge until Marie, our president, decided her president's challenge would be based on a book. Immediately,  I thought of the children's book, Secret Garden, which I read more than once in my childhood.

“Here is my secret garden surrounded by a wall with flowers overflowing the stone wall bringing nature and the garden to those outside the garden.” Mary Lou won First Place for Member’s Choice.
