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″.

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. \nAs 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!\n \nGuests are welcome with a $5 fee for attendance. \nPaper Pieced Star quilt by Paul:\n \n  \n  URL:https://www.sfvqa.net/event/speaker-paul-neuman-sfvqa-member/ LOCATION:Lifehouse Church Northridge\, 18355 Roscoe Blvd\, Northridge\, CA\, 91325\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.sfvqa.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Paul-Neuman-scaled-e1679465719646.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230508T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230508T203000 DTSTAMP:20260427T034633 CREATED:20230322T071255Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230322T071357Z UID:1593-1683572400-1683577800@www.sfvqa.net SUMMARY:SFVQA Birthday Meeting DESCRIPTION:Come to the Ice Cream Social in May!  It will be a night of socializing and fun \nWe’ll celebrate the election of new board members\, thank the outgoing board for their service\, and commemorate the Association’s 32nd anniversary.   Frances (our April speaker) is bringing her Red Cross teddy bear project for us to help with.   At this meeting\, we’ll have a chance to take stock of where the Association is and where it is going.

The family moved from Missouri to California in the mid 1930’s and ended up in a small town in the bay area\, Albany. \nBetty came from a family of quilters. Her mother sent fabric scraps leftover from the clothes she made for the six kids back east to her grandmother in Oklahoma. Her grandmother hand pieced the scraps to make quilt tops and sent them back to California for Betty’s mother to quilt. \nBetty started making her own quilts in 1987.  She retired from Budweiser in 1995 and quilting became her life.  She joined the SCVQG (Santa Clarita Valley Quilt Guild) in 1995 and was a member about 10 years. She joined a mini group called Sisters in Stitches the same year.  This group is still together meeting every Wednesday at her house.  She also belongs to two other mini groups that meet once or twice a month\, the Tuesday Floozies and the Frazier Park the Pine Needles. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Our Charities\n Los Angeles Veterans Quilt Project \nSFVWW Cradles of Love \nFoster Children’s Resource Center \nMy Stuff Bags \nGlendale Adventist Cancer Center \nPenny Lane URL:https://www.sfvqa.net/event/2019-biennial-quilt-show-a-stitch-in-time/ LOCATION:Airtel Plaza Hotel\, 7277 Valjean Avenue\, Van Nuys\, CA\, 91406\, United States CATEGORIES:Quilt Show END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
