The next guild meeting is Tuesday, January 25th, 2021.
Note! This is the fourth Tuesday of January, not the usual third. In January, Lori Dickman will share with us her secrets on cutting and organizing your quilt scraps and her speedy solutions quilt patterns. We will learn Lori’s Tools of the Trade, her “Scrapping Rule”, how she sorts and identifies value, and all her speedy methods of turning an unorganized stash of wrinkled scrap fabrics into a beautifully organized stash of all your scrap fabric stored by size and value or theme! She has some great ideas for storage solutions. You’ll learn to quickly turn the fabrics you love into fantastic quilts, the Speedy way! Lori will also demo some of her favorite Scrappy Quilt methods. The in person meeting will be at the Redondo Beach Center for Spiritual Living, located at 907 Knob Hill Ave in Redondo Beach (at the corner of Prospect and Knob Hill).

Our February Lecture With Diane Murtha will be Challenges – Accept the Challenge & Win a Prize
An informative and humorous perspective on her quilt challenge experiences, including a trunk and slide show. Diane’s quilting adventure has been long and varied, including delusions of grandeur, some epic fails, a few triumphs, many “good enoughs” and most importantly, increasingly satisfying results. The stories that go along with her quilts are equal to the warmth and smiles they bring. She’ll discuss what she has learned from the various challenges, other ways to challenge yourself and sources of inspiration. And most importantly how challenges can expand your quilting skills and inspire all your quilting! 
“It’s a Mad, Mad, Mid-Mod World” which won the People’s Choice Award at QuiltCon Together 2021 will hang in a special display of award winners from the virtual show during the in-person QuiltCon 2022 in Phoenix, AZ February 17th-20th.
Made by members of the South Bay Quilters Guild and submitted to the Modern Quilt Guild for QuiltCon Together 2021, a virtual show. We were excited to learn that it won the People’s Choice Award. Comments from two MQG board members during the announcement of the award: Heather: “I feel that it is super fitting that a quilt about houses, when we’re all attending QuiltCon from our houses gets the People’s Choice Award this year.” Karen: “I agree. I think maybe the message of this quilt just spoke to all of us this year.” There was a lot of interest on social media about the quilt with requests for the pattern. Because the quilt is made using a mix of commercial patterns and applique designs created by a member of SBQG, we created a “design packet” that describes the process used in making the quilt and its story. The PDF design packet is available for purchase on etsy.com at Twisted Threads (https://www.etsy.com/TwistedThreadsFabric/listing/972991579) and all proceeds benefit SBQG. The design and assembly team led by Melanie Dreike included Nadine Kirk, Marie Cortez, Sue Glass, and Julie Limbach Jones. Blocks were made by members of South Bay Quilters Guild and Matt Randall of Randall Quilting & Design quilted it. Thank you to the Modern Quilt Guild for the opportunity to show “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mid-Mod World” at QuiltCon Together 2021 and at QuiltCon2022. Thank you to Ruby Star Society for sponsoring the People’s Choice Award at QuiltCon Together 2021. 
The May 2021 workshop was a lot of fun! See the wonderful creations by our members here.
