In addition to our other fun activities our main feature is the Road to California Show and Tell. Email me photos of quilts/vendors/people that you found inspiring, interesting, or fun. We’ll then compile them into a slide show for our meeting. When your photos come up you can explain WHY you picked that object to photograph. My email address is: andres (at) venturamodernquiltguild (dot) com

At our last meeting I mentioned our Riley Blake challenge show and tell would be at our February meeting. I should have said it was scheduled for our March meeting. If you have your project done by Monday please bring it with you. If not please bring it to our March meeting.

Yes, we have a new venue for the VMQG meetings! The VMQG board heard your concerns about the lack of room during our meetings and we think you’ll be very happy with the venue we’ve found. Parking is ample: the Santa Clara parking structure is kitty-corner to the Masonic building and there are parking lots both behind (behind Pizza Man Dan’s/Ventura Senior Rec Center) and across the street from the building.

Please refer to your January 2014 meeting reminder email for information on how to enter the building if you arrive late.

In addition to our regular line up we will be having a special UFO resolutions show and tell.

Don’t forget to bring your Paint Chip Challenge block. Click HERE for details.

Our December Board Meeting will be held Tuesday,  December 17th,  6pm at superbuzzy.

At this meeting we will focus on analyzing the results of the annual survey to plan our VMQG 2014 activities.

Date:   Monday, December 9th
Time:   6pm to 8pm (VIC open at 5:45pm)
Location :  Ventura Improv Company  (directions)

Happy December! This meeting will be filled with food, fun and fabric!! 🙂

We are so excited that our December meeting/holiday party is this coming Monday! Hopefully you read the email we sent out last month announcing the change in venue for this meeting/party and all the related info. If not, please see your “December Meeting Reminder” email.

Don’t forget your challenge block. The challenge was to make something where the color palette is derived using Adobe Kuler in the modern aesthetic. See this post for all the details. Along with your completed block, please bring your source photo or image from which the inspiration was taken.

Becky brought to our attention that the Ventura Improv Company has a donation bin for unwrapped toys at the theatre. They are collecting toys in support of the Christmas Shoppe and their desire to help the less fortunate. If you would like to donate an inexpensive unwrapped gift, it would be greatly appreciated. This would be a purely non-mandatory gesture.

Opportunity quilt: Chairperson Scott is asking every one to contribute a block to be assembled into an opportunity quilt. The design will be “block within a block”. Please check this link for all the specifics.

Winter Fat Quarter Raffle : We are having another fat quarter raffle since the first one was so fun! Check out all the details in this post.

Snacks: A big “Thank You!” to everyone who signed up to bring snacks!! If you want to bring snacks and didn’t get the chance to sign up, please contact Lynne (check your meeting reminder email for her email address) and let her know what you are bringing.
