Patricia Beaver
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to
Utah
Chula Vista, California is
Patricia’s home when she is not
on the road speaking, teaching,
and judging. She spent her
teenage years in Utah, where
she began sewing and quilting,
An avid quilter, Patricia enjoys
all styles of quilts and tries to
learn most new techniques. She also works on her
original pieces so she can have available to her students
something new and interesting.
As a teacher, lecturer, judge and Quilt historian, Patricia
teaches her workshops in a fun atmosphere with the idea
that we are all at different levels and skills. Praise and
acceptance of all the students is her mission statement
as a teacher. Patricia is active in several guilds and is
past president of the Petaluma Quilt Guild. She has
completed the Northern California Quilt Council course
on Judging Quilts and Wearable Art, and is currently
active in the judging arena.
 Bring your Block of the Month
 Bring quilts for Show and Tell
 Bring a can of food for the less
fortunate

A NOTE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT:
Quilters for Others:
Our Ice Cream Social/Quilter’s Treasure Hunt was
a success! Mountains of thanks to Mary Flacco for
successfully heading up the project. A special
thanks also goes to her helpers who sorted, tagged
and set out the “treasures”. It was a great evening!
Put September 30, from 9:30-3 on your date book or
cell phone calendar. Say goodbye to September and
hello to philanthropy. Join the Quilters for Others at
St James Presbyterian Church at 19414 Ventura Blvd
in Tarzana west of Tampa
I heard someone say they did not like sitting and
looking at the computer screen to read the
newsletter. No problem! Just print out a copy and
leave it in “the library” (bathroom) and you’ll have
the whole thing read in no time!
We need your help in preparing our many projects
for the holiday season. Bring your machine to help us
or work on your own project. We are a very
congenial group.
See you at the next meeting,
We need you to help tie quilts, or cut and lay out
juvenile quilts, placemats, doll quilts for the
woodworker project.
Rosemary
Hospitality:

……… from Hospitality
We welcome all volunteers. You need not be a

Ways and Means
Philanthropy Quilt Kits
Every month SFVQA will have Quilt Kits for all
members to create wonderful quilts or quilt tops for
charity. You can pick from quilt kits for a child, a
senior at a retirement home, a crib quilt for a baby,
a place mat for meals on wheels, or pillow case for
a foster child or a child dealing with cancer. Please
pick up a quilt kit at a meeting, create a top or finish
it up, return it to a SFVQA meeting and make the
happy recipient smile.

Thinking of you…
Call Sharon Lewis at 818-995-7768 or
Rosemary Kent at 818-766-4702 with the
name of any Association member that should
be included in this space.
Well, September is coming and we will have some
pretty nifty baskets for you to win. Stop by in the
back and say hi and get your tickets.

OPPORTUNITY QUILT
We are in need of someone to help
coordinate the travel schedule for the
Opportunity Quilt. We also need
several people who are willing to take
a turn showing off our quilt at these
events.

help.

Mystery Quilt - Part 4
This step will take less time to
sew, more time for you to enjoy
the end of summer
DOLL BLANKETS
We continue to make and donate doll blankets
for the San Fernando Valley Woodworkers hand
-made wooden cradles to be given to needy
children all over our area this holiday season.
The ideal size is 18 -24 inches square, but we
gladly accept anything close to that if your
project comes out differently. The quilted
blankets are the big hit, but knitted and
crocheted are lovely and work well too. Turn in
blankets at evening meetings to Lorene Robbins
(Library), or day meetings to Yolanda
Shelp. Your work is so appreciated and some of
you earn my admiration with 20 blankets last
month from a pair of our members. Last date for
this year’s collection will be our November
meeting, but I gather them and save them all
year.
Make 28 of the following block using:
Baggie 2
28 - Fabric C (4.5 in. squares)
28 - Fabric A (2.5 in. squares). Sew onto one corner of Fabric C.
28 - Fabric B (2.5 in. squares). Sew onto the opposite corner of Fabric C.

NOTES FROM YOUR LIBRARY
All outstanding materials are due back at the September meeting; however the library cabinet will NOT be out for
this meeting as we will be disposing of the library purge in a liquidation. The book donations are wonderful and
greatly appreciated, but with 550 titles to make space it is necessary to discard all duplicates. There are frequently
revised editions coming in as well. Consequently the September meeting will be liquidation day with hundreds of
books and quilting magazines available for you. All proceeds go to our general fund, and the suggested donations
are $1 each paperback, $2 each hardbound, and magazines at 10 cents each.
We have been advised that you prefer to learn about new additions through the newsletter. Some months donations
amount to 30-40 books, and the new additions are always located in the pink and white box labeled “New Library
Additions” and listed in our red Catalog Printout. But we will endeavor to acquaint you with notable new items
through this newsletter monthly.
