2023-06-12 19:00 - 20:00 | Lifehouse Church Northridge, 18355 Roscoe Blvd, Northridge, CA, 91325, United States
Paul is our in-house speaker for the June meeting. He will be sharing his quilt journey with a talk titled, “Piecing a Life Together.” Paul is honored to be asked to speak to the guild. He was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, graduated Cleveland High School in 1975, and graduated CSUN Summa cum laude in 2014 with a teaching credential. He credits his mom with a love for crafting, but didn’t get his own sewing machine until 23 years ago. Sewing a quilt was a dare to himself, but he soon realized he needed classes to become more proficient. After all, YouTube tutorials didn’t exist back then! Nonetheless, even with full time work, Paul has created a large number of quilts in a number of wide ranging styles and techniques. He has a special fondness for red and white quilts, civil war reproductions, paper piecing, and collecting Featherweights! He looks forward to sharing lessons learned in making quilts and sharing some of his opus from over the years.
As a special fund raiser for the guild, he is raffling one of his white Singer Featherweights that night. Come and win your very own incomparable Singer Featherweight!

Guests are welcome with a $5 fee for attendance.

Workshop: Alaska Ruler Quilt Center with Paul Neumann
2023-08-20 09:00 - 15:30 | Quilty Pleasures, 1555 Simi Town Center Way Unit #165, Simi Valley, CA, 93065, United States
This workshop will focus on making the center part of the Alaska Ruler Quilt (see below for photo of full quilt pattern), consisting of nine 9″ blocks. With one border, this wall quilt will measure 31″ square when finished.
There are three kinds of blocks in the pattern. In the workshop, you will focus and complete at least one of each of the three unique blocks that can be utilized in so many different quilt designs. The pattern utilizes the Creative Grids Alaska Ruler (which will be available for sale at Quilty Pleasures); however, Paul will provide paper templates for those who do not wish to buy one. This project uses six fat quarters and one more for the 2″ border.

Full quilt pattern – in this workshop you’ll be making the center part only.

Workshop: Quilted Jigsaw Puzzle Technique by Kim Brownell
2023-09-10 09:00 - 15:30 | Quilty Pleasures, 1555 Simi Town Center Way Unit #165, Simi Valley, CA, 93065, United States
Using the quilted Jigsaw Puzzle technique, students can combine two hobbies, because it is very much like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle. A raw-edge fusible applique is used, leaving a negative space between each piece. The background fabric can be in any color, but if black is used, the piece will have a wonderful stained glass look. This is a fun class for both beginner and experienced quilters.
Students will have a choice of two Quilted Jigsaw projects, the sunset or the mountain landscape. A kit is required for whichever one you choose – at a cost of $25, which includes the pattern, one yard of Pellon Wonder Under and the pre-traced black background fabric. Student supplies their own design fabrics. The projects measure approximately 11″ x 20″.

Her work gravitates towards animals, nature scenes, and bright colors with techniques that include and blend fabric collage, free-form art quilts and raw edge applique. She has been quilting since 1993. Her lecture will teach ideas on how to approach quilt challenges, where to find them and why you should participate. There will also be a trunk show of her quilts.

Lecture: Linda Sullivan, "Got Colour?"
2023-10-09 19:00 - 20:00 | St. James Presbyterian Church, 19414 Ventura Blvd, Tarzana, CA, 91356, United States

Speaker: California Heritage Quilt Project
2024-01-08 19:00 - 20:00 | Zoom
The mission of the California Heritage Quilt Project was established at its inception in 1984 and remains relevant to this day. Its mission is: to seek out and record the history of California quilts and quiltmakers; to foster conservation and preservation of California’s quilt heritage; to increase public awareness and appreciation of quilts; and to encourage the art of quilt making.
CHQP was very active from 1984 thorugh 2014. Its previous Board President, Stephanie Kenney, kept the organization viable during a time of waning interest, and she continued its mission on several fronts. Arlene Stevens, who will our speaker this evening, and Rebecca Blosser joined the Board in September 2021, and now new Board members have been found statewide to further the goals of the CHQP.
The California Heritage Quilt Project has been revived and is looking forward to continuing the mission established in 1984. They are honoring the work of the past and the projects that were so successful, such as the quilt documentation, oral histories, and the children’s teaching program. They have recently joined the Quilt Index in order to introduce the world to amazing quilts made in or brought to California. The Quilt Index, an open access, digital repository, shares images, stories, and information about quilts and their makers.
Join Arlene Stevens, the current president of CHQP, on zoom this evening to learn more about this amazing organization and their work.

Kristie is a quilt teacher certified in teaching the Scrappy Appliqué technique developed by Shannon Brinkley. Her main goal in sharing her love of quilting with others is to help them feel confident and comfortable to do anything with the skills they currently have. She will be sharing the Scrappy Appliqué method as well as a trunk show to inspire your members to create their own projects.

Kristie has been using all types of needles and thread in some way ever since she was eight years old. She loves working with her hands which led her to sewing clothes for herself, embroidery, cross stitch, and crochet. When she was in her thirties, she started knitting professionally for knitwear designers which led to teaching knitting to elementary kids in an after school program. In her forties, she resumed her love of sewing and started quilting after a fateful trip to visit her sister-in-law. Standing in her quilt studio sparked something inside of Kristie and she’s never looked back. Now she’s lucky enough to be a quilt instructor and Certified Teacher for each Scrappy Appliqué™ as well as Color Confidence for Quilters™. She loves teaching at quilting guilds, quilt shops, and to individuals looking to learn new and unique techniques.

Our own Karen Van Den Brink has offered to share her knowledge and talent to teach us Reverse Appliqué. For reverse applique, the fabric is layered and the top fabric is cut away and stitched in place to reveal the design. The fabric can be used in many layers to create complex designs. The top edges can be finished by hand or machine. The Reverse Applique technique is best represented by Molas from Panama and Hmong Embroidery from China, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam, to embellish clothing and create works of art. Karen will be teaching us a simple heart design with options for more complex designs for those who want more of a challenge.
Here are some samples of reverse appliqué.

Lecture: "What the Heck is Fiber Art?" with Joan de Young
2025-01-13 19:00 - 20:00 | Wilkinson Senior Center, 8956 Vanalden St, Northridge, CA, 91324, United States
Joan is inspired by her surroundings and the environment. She recycles fabrics that she finds in various places or she uses her own dyed and painted pieces. Her evolution into Art Quilting came about when she saw a variety of new and creative quilts displayed at quilt shows. She designs fabric art pieces manipulating the fabric using bobbin work, twin needle and couching and even crocheted pieces to add texture and dimension.
Joan says that there is so much fun and excitement in the challenge of creating the art quilts she daydreams about. Some of them are quite abstract, others have messages about the planet. She’s encouraged and inspired by the members of The Extreme Quilters, as well as the works of Velda Newman and Katie Pasqini Masopust. There are so many innovative and creative art quilters and so much inspiration.
Joan’s art quilts have been exhibited at the Thousand Oaks Art Gallery and at Wailoa Arts & Cultural Center in Hilo, Hawaii. She has also had the honor of having one of her quilts being displayed at local guild shows and nationally, at East Coast Quilt Exhibitions, along with her fellow Extreme Quilters. Her quilts have also been displayed in an historic building in Bethlehem, Connecticut.
We’re excited to be inspired by Joan’s fiber art creations!
