A Torrance Fire Engineer contracted COVID-19 on the job. SBQG 1st Vice President Melanie and President Julie delivered a batik quilt to Firehouse #1 on April 16th to comfort him during his recovery. Blocks for the "disappearing 4-patch" quilt were made by guild members with fabric donated by Private Source Quilting, assembled by Melanie and Marie, quilted by Matt Randall and bound by Jenifer.

Mystery Quilt #1 - from our Guild members
Early in March the Santa Monica Quilt Guild decided to offer a Mystery Quilt project to their members in lieu of meetings and workshops for a few months. They invited SBQG and the Westside Quilters to join them. There were 40 participants in all! The big challenge? The project was started AFTER the quilt shops closed! Everyone pulled from their stash to make their quilts.
The last clue was revealed about a week ago and the completed tops are starting to appear. Louise Davidson is the first SBQG member to complete hers. Hopefully we’ll see the others soon!
Many thanks to Quiltwoman.com for providing access to Debbie Caffrey’s Mystery Quilts.
