With the April 2020 meeting cancelled due to COVID-19 social distancing measures, members sent in images of their projects for a "virtual" show & tell.

The Programs Committee also held a Mystery Quilt Sew-Along with over 40 participants from our guild and other local guilds. Here are some of the initial fabric pulls and works-in-progress.

Thank you to everyone who contributed blocks, joined us to piece tops, and volunteered to quilt!

A special opportunity from the African American Quilters of Los Angeles guild:

AAQLA is hosting a bus trip to Palm Desert for their quilt show on March the 7th. We are leaving Baldwin Hills Mall( Crenshaw and Martin Luther King Blvd in Los Angeles) in the back by the old Sears auto center at 7:30 am and returning at 7:30 pm.

​The cost is $45.00 that includes bus ride, tip for the driver, am/pm snacks, water, and door prizes. You must pay your admission to the show. It is $8.00. We will be leaving the show around 2:30 pm and going to Quilters Faire quilt shop for an hour and then to El Pollo Loco where you can pick up something to eat for the ride home.

We have about 20 spaces left on our bus if you would like to join us! Questions or if interested please call Janet Wingfield at 310-956-5351.

Rob Appell led an all-day workshop to teach his famous Color Strata quilt technique, using 2.5" jelly rolls to create custom gradients with an ombre effect with a lot of pop! He led participants through the color-layout and construction of their own panels, and provided several different examples of Color Strata quilt options we can create with our own strata.

Rob Appell (robappell.com/) joined us as our special guest at our February 5 meeting! Rob also led an all-day workshop teaching his Color Strata quilt pattern. Rob hosts the wildly popular YouTube show Making it Fun with Rob Appell by Michael Miller Fabrics, leading viewers on adventures in quilting, sewing, cooking, music, nature and more! You may also know Rob as the host of Man Sewing, with over 250 entertaining and educational episodes on YouTube. He's a creative force, full of boundless energy, enthusiasm for life, and love of quilting.
