We’ll be meeting at Bay Quilts at 6:30 tonight, Tuesday, 11/28/17. Please come-the more the merrier.

I think that the current quilt show at Bay Quilts is by Fern, one of our members. That’s another reason to come to the meeting.

Below is a wonky log cabin block. (This post was so short I had to include an image).

Because we couldn’t possibly conflict with Halloween, we will meet a week early in October. Our next meeting will be on Tuesday October 24 at Hello Stitch.

Please spread the word!

Here are some photos from the Aug meeting.

A committee of about 5 people was appointed to look at our choices of joining EBHQ, joining MQG, or or something else. A lot of us felt that we didn’t have enough information to take a vote. The committee will figure out what our options are and report back.

The fabric swap was great. The remaining fabric was donated. I’m not sure about

the name of the group -something like Social Justice Sewing Academy.

Hi all-
Darci reminded us on FaceBook that, “tomorrow’s meeting is also a fabric swap! After all the discussion around structure we’ll need some “retail” therapy.

Bag up your smaller scraps, bring the larger pieces as is and let’s have some fun. Whatever is left will be collected and donated.

In a previous post I had the date wrong for this coming week’s meeting. I corrected my mistake, but wanted to be sure everyone knew. Our meeting on Tue 8/29/17 will be at Hello Stitch, hellostitchstudio.com at 1708 University Ave in Berkeley. I hear there is ample free street parking. We will be alternating where we meet. So, the September meeting will be at Bay Quilts. Even months, we will meet at Hello Stitch and odd months we will meet at Bay Quilts. This is an important meeting to attend. We’ll be discussing the results of the poll about the future of EBMQ.

This activity is Saturday 26 August— tomorrow!!

Hello Everyone,

I’ve decided to donate the remainder of Eli Leon’s materials to you, the local art and quilting communities. It would be lovely and fitting to see some of what Eli amassed over 50 years of collecting have a new life in your artwork and quilts. I know he would love this idea if he could still understand!

There are mounds and mounds of fabric, clothing, and clothing fragments, much of it vintage, plus some quilt fragments and blocks. There are also other things for the taking: shelves and miscellaneous practical items.

Please forward this notice to your quilt guilds and artist friends!

Stop by 5663 Dover St in Oakland Sat Aug 26th from 11AM – 2PM.
