Drawing on 20 years of experience in quilting and textile design, I will share some of my approaches to the creative process, and discuss the importance of value, proportion and color when designing a quilt.

The party will be held outside – weather permitting.  If the weather is inclement we will need to postpone the party.

VP of Geographic Outreach

2017-2018 SDMQG President

We voted to amend our bylaws and include a VP of Geographic Outreach at our meeting yesterday. The person filling this position would be in charge of setting up social activities in regions of the county that are not where the guild meets for regular meetings (currently San Marcos). Cohni Corazon has expressed interest in being nominated to fill the position at our elections in October. Until then, the executive board has appointed her to the position.

South, Central and East San Diego outreach board position

2017-2018 SDMQG President

Hello everyone!

Our guild has grown a fair bit over the past few years. To reflect our growing group and to better serve the other geographical areas of San Diego, we have suggested the addition of a new board member.

At today’s guild meeting, we moved to add an official board position for outreach to Central, South and East San Diego.

This position would be open to anyone in the guild. The person would attend board meetings and guild meetings, like any other board officer. Their focus would be to extend programming to the other regions of San Diego.

Next month, at our meeting on July 8th at 11am at Quilt in a Day, we will vote on the inclusion of this position on the board. This would also be an excellent time to come up with a list of nominees. We would also like to hear your input on the sorts of activities and programming this person could potentially coordinate.
