  1. Natalie Pollard - used AccuQuilt clam die. Collected fabrics in similar color and used minky for backing, loved by all.
  2. Jane Rowland - saw quilt at QuiltCon and had been waiting for a pattern, so finally decided to create her own. Also pieced a top for a baby quilt.   Both subtle and beautiful quilts.
  3. Linda Bretton - did a one block wonder quilt. Very vibrant and stunning.
  4. Sherry Gilmartin - Very cute purse that she made. They sell their items at the Temecula Fun Days.
  5. Patricia Cooper - made a beautiful Halloween quilt with a fabric panel.
  6. Angelica Jones - made a Halloween quilt for herself with lots of very intricate and beautiful paper piecing.

presentations



  1. BOM "Spools" presented by Angelica Jones. She provided information on the BOM rules and how to access the pattern.  See the TVMQG Blog for the pattern.  
    1. ACTION ITEM: All members and guests are asked to consider completing a block and bring it to the November meeting.
  2. Linda Bretton demonstrated how to make the One Block Wonder - which was very intriguing. Linda explained fabric selection and repeat designs, pros and cons with different fabrics due to number of colors or pattern, need four to five yards of the fabric to be used for your quilt. She uses a 60 degree sharp pointed ruler. Do NOT prewash your fabrics because when you layer the fabric for cutting designs must perfectly align. Suggested book - One Block Wonders.
