Well, I’ve quit counting how many days have passed since we’ve been in “Stay at Home” mode, but it looks like we may be opening up a little as I write this note. I know I can’t wait to get out, even though I’ve managed to work on a number of projects, and I’m sure we all feel the same! As a group of quilters, we are the best people; firing up our machines to make masks, finishing quilts for children’s camps and giving of our time and our stash to make others

happy and safe. That’s who we are! I for one, am proud to belong to such a great group and can’t wait until we can meet again, face to face! Your Board is working on some fun ideas to continue to keep us connected. So enjoy reading this month’s newsletter and…..Stay tuned!

Guild Membership Extended for Current Members

by Sylvia Corbin

Given the disruptions caused by Covid-19, the Board has decided to extend our current memberships until we are able to reconvene in person. Though we are not physically meeting, our Guild does still has expenses to pay including our: storage rent, PO Box, website, our Philanthropy groups, and insurance

policies. Fortunately, we have planned ahead, and have sufficient funds in our accounts to be able to allow our membership fees be extended. However, if you would like to renew your membership with Canyon at this time, we would be happy to process your payment. Current

annual membership is $40. You may mail a Check to: Canyon Quilters of San Diego, PO Box 927103, San Diego CA 92192-7103.

This month adds a new definition of “June Gloom”. Another month gone by without seeing you all. The Board continues to meet via Zoom and are brain storming ways we can reconnect in the future. Our June and July Guild meetings are cancelled, and we will reconvene a meeting as soon as our health officials allow large groups to safely gather. For now, we have our fabulous monthly newsletter that we invite all of you to participate in. Your stories and articles are what keeps us connected. Special shout-out to Andrea Bacal, who continues to create this amazing read.

Programsby Kris Hatch

Welcome to another month with your quilt guild! I am certain that we all miss the inspiration that each member contributes each month. In normal times, the summer months would be bustling with the always fun - Fund Raiser, a Philanthropy project, and a Hands-On Surprise. Instead, we will give you some stay-at-home projects to think about for this time, and show you photos of what others are doing.

A fun workshop in October with Katsy Chappell is on the calendar. If

Rosie’s fully opens by then, we will have the workshop, “Quilted Fabric Postcards,” October 18th and if the Salvation Army has also fully opened, we will meet the 19th for “My Life with Pieces" at the October Guild meeting. Please check her out on sccqg.org/chappell-katsy.htm for a great laugh. If you are interested, please contact me by text, email or phone. krisdhatch@gmail.com

Of course, we will have our fall challenge announced soon, and in November, the Reveal and Annual Potluck Dinner.

We may not meet for the next few months, but we have some great workshop opportunities beginning in January, 2021. Sue Heinz was cancelled in March and she has agreed to try it again next February for free-motion quilting. Dora Cary also rescheduled for March, and Phyllis Cullen rescheduled for next June. Whew! 2021 should take our quilting and friendships to another level.

Did you know? Old t-shirts make the most comfortable mask ties? Cut in horizontal one inch strips. When pulled, they make perfect tubular ties.

What Our Members are Doing These Days

Barbara Gluck Judipatuti (Judy Thacker)

A while back I saw a tutorial on Fat Quarter Shop‘s website by Krista Moser showing her Semaphore Stripes pattern. The graphics of the diamond shapes and the stripe fabric

really spoke to me and I knew I had to make this quilt! I decided to use Tula Pink’s stripes and Grunge Hits the Spot fabrics. I am putting the blocks together using Y seams but this can also be done with the traditional piecing method.

I also just finished another QAYG appliqué baby quilt using the Windy Hill Farm pattern from Happy Quilts by Antonie Alexander.

I’ve signed up for the Fat Quarter Shop BOM Halloween Fig that starts in June. Anyone else doing it? Reach out to me if you are!

Barbara Gluck

My Days…..

Thank you for ordering fabrics from judipatuti.com! It has kept me busy every day and has been a wonderful distraction seeing the colors and prints you are all putting together for your projects (masks?). It’s always interesting to pull fabrics I’m so in love with and see how a different set of eyes puts them together differently. As I’m cutting them for you I think, I would never have combined those 4 prints…but they’re awesome together!

When I’m not pulling and cutting orders – I have continued on my second English Paper Piecing (EPP) Quilt. The new one is called Sunrise by Tula Pink. I’ve finished all the medallions that make up the larger portion of the quilt…see

picture right.

Now I’m working on the “tiny” pieces that will attach to the medallions and make a completed row/column. See picture left.

As soon as I bind the first EPP quilt, that I just recently got back from Michalee (who did amazing custom quilting on it) I’ll send

along a picture. (Sneak peek of the custom quilting in the detail, on the bottom left.) It was also a Tula Pink pattern called Tula Nova.

EPP is a great lap project for those of us that still enjoy doing hand sewing. A few hours at night is very relaxing. If anyone wants to learn…just contact me and I’ll do a little video and send it to you, with all the shortcuts and what to avoid!

I need to quilt this, but this is my tribute to lockdown...

Andrea Bacal

I have started out on a challenge to do 100 small quilts in 100 days. I did this because I felt my creative juices were drying up a bit, and I was finding more and more reasons not to spend time in my sewing room. It really jump-started my creative process, though I must admit, I have not done 1 every day!

Here are 2 of the small 10 x 10 pieces I have done.

Day 1 Day 17

Do you remember the fabric donated to Canyon 2 summers ago? From the estate of Carolyn Wood? These masks and scrub caps were made from that stash. From the animal fabrics I made masks for the Humane Society. (My son works there).

It took a while for the dogs to get used to them - used to seeing them, not wearing them! After a while they stopped barking, but they weren't sure.

The masks in the second photo went to food

distributors at a food bank. The final grouping is of scrub

caps. Mark Weber, the chaplain coordinator at Scripps Mercy Hospital Chula Vista had put out a "does anyone know a sewer?" and my pastor directed the message to me. Gail Kempton and I made 85 scrub caps. Mark said the staff at the hospital were so excited

to get them. Their days are very difficult, but it didn't take much to make their day brighter. And the last picture is of my April/May donation to the Ronald McDonald House. Their occupancy has been low but they are getting ready to increase it. So, that's what I've been doing!!

Connie Rooten

Pam Kay

Pam KayI am trying to complete as many UFOs as possible. This one was particularly difficult for me, as it was a donated top that was entirely hand pieced, but with cheap fabrics that were not 100% cotton. What to do? Someone spent a great deal of time and effort piecing those hexagons together. Not wanting to invest too much time, resource or effort, I loaded up a used--but very good quality Italian-made 100% cotton sheet, some inexpensive polyester batting and white thread. I decided to "just go for it." I had no rules, just wanted to try some different free motion techniques. When all was said and done, the results are pretty good. There were no serious wrinkles or puckers, the cotton backing is extremely comfortable, and all in all, a very serviceable quilt that honors the hand piecer and saves it from the thrift store. Another UFO bites the dust, and I have another 1/2" of shelf space!

Nelda McComb

Books read while on Sequester – 21 books over 10 weeks.

I’ve read all these books through the library, electronically. Thanks to all my reading buddies that recommended many of these books.

1. A Long Petal of the Sea Isabelle Allende

Spanish revolution starts the book with family emigrating to Chili at the start of WWII. Chili is known as the Long Petal of the Sea. Excellent Allende style writing.

2. The Flight Girls Noelle Salazar

Fast read about women pilots during WWII. 2.5 stars because writing is just fair.

3. My Life as a Rat Joyce Carol Oates

Excellent Oates style writing. Story about a young girl who has to rat on her relative who committed a crime.

4. The Dutch House Ann Patchett

One of Patchetts better novels. Well written, about siblings that live in an unusual house.

5. Wonderful stroke of Luck Ann Beattie

Story about boarding school kids. A little thin.

6. Park Avenue Summer – Renée Rosen

Story about Helen Gurley Brown – editor of Cosmopolitan in 1965. Found story interesting since I knew nothing about her or the Hearst Company of the early 60’s.

7. Everything I Never Told You 8. Little Fires Everywhere Celeste Ng

Both books excellent. Well written. I especially liked Everything I Never Told You for its honesty and redeeming ending.

9. Killing Commendatore Haruki Murakami

Very interesting book by a Japanese writer. Kind of surreal, but not silly. Interesting lessons learned about an artist who experiences spiritual adventure through a painting. Well written; not sure if it is a translation but if it is, it is very well done.

10. Woman in the Window A.J. Finn

Mystery, light fast…average writing.

11. Night Watchman Louise Erdrich

Superb writing as always. Interesting story about author's father who was instrumental in saving the North Dakota Indians' reservation rights.

12. Nothing To See Here Kevin Wilson

Peculiar story about 2 children that “catch on fire.” Well written.

13. Freefall Jessica Barry

Fast adventure…Beach reading.

14. Ordinary Grace Kent Krueger

Best book read in a long time. Excellent writing & story line. Takes place in small town in Minnesota. Family dealing with a tragedy. Narrated by a 12-year old which makes it especially interesting and poignant.

15. Book Woman of Troublesome Creek Kim Michele Richardson

Very interesting story about “Blue People” in Kentucky. Main character is employed by the library to deliver library books to people in the outback. She travels by mule and deals with skin color prejudices. Learned that blue skinned people really exist, it is a hemoglobin disorder.

16. The Gone Dead Chanelle Benz

About a young woman that solves the mystery of her deceased father. B- writing and story is a little thin.

17. The Lacuna Barbara Kingsolver

Had trouble reading this book when it was first published. My second try was very successful. Kingsolver is a genius with the written word. Wonderful story…very sad ending.

18.The Rent Collector Cameron Wright

After a few pages I almost set this book down as it takes place in a dump in India, but I’m glad I didn’t as it is a wonderful story with great rising phoenix in the end. I liked it enough to read Wright’s other book...see below

19. Orphan Keeper Cameron Wright

This is a true story about a child that was kidnapped in India and adopted by unknowing parents and raised in USA. He eventually finds out about his biological parents. Writing is B+. Great photos at the end.

20. American Dirt Jeanine Cummins

Well written story about a mother and son that are escaping the cartel in Mexico on way to America. Excellent read.

21. I enjoyed American Dirt so much that I am currently reading a Memoir by author called A Rip in Heaven. Jury is still out on this one.

Kay Laboda

Do you like solving jigsaw puzzles? How about jigsaw puzzles of quilts? How about jigsaw puzzles of your quilt? Or the quilt of a fellow Canyon member?

If you have answered "yes" to any of the above questions, this new game might be just the thing you are looking for instead of watching golf reruns on TV!

Kay Laboda does this, and has sent us a link to the program. Here's the link to her most recent quilt-puzzle. Kay will make links like this for your quilts and we will publish them in our newsletter and emails. Please let me know if we can use the quilt you shared at a Canyon meeting for this fun game!

New Photo Fun For Canyon Members and Friends

Many of us are taking walks every day - morning walks, early evening walks, even walks at night when it's dark.

We are asking you to take your phone or camera with you on those walks, and take pictures of your neighborhood, the park, the beach, or wherever you are walking. Pictures that are of scenes or objects that are interesting, unusual, exciting, colorful - photos that may inspire you (or someone else if you don't mind sharing your photo) to make a small art quilt!

We will publish your photo and/or your quilt in the July newsletter, and hopefully spur on some of those creative juices we all have that are just waiting to be stirred up!

Send your photos to newsletter@canyonquilters.com with "july newsletter" in the subject line. Tell us just a bit about where the photo was taken, and what inspired you to take the photo, and if you plan to make a quilt based on it.

Here's one to start...

This gazania plant (above) is in a neighbor's yard, and when I walk my dog, I see it at various times of the day. I have always been amazed at what a difference there is in the mid-day (full of sun) to early am (before the sun is shining). Not sure how quilt-worthy it is, but it certainly has caught my attention!

2:00 pm 7:00 am

And these succulents (above) are all in my yard. I am so inspired by the shapes of their leaves (is that what they are called?). I have used them all in various quilts and plan to continue to use them.

I picked Friday the 13th (in March) as my retirement date because

1) Canyon Quilters FMQ 3-day class started that Sunday

2) my sister was coming to visit from NH

3) XC ski trip to Mammoth

4) trip to in-laws in Nebraska

5) anniversary trip to Italy.

Well, we all know what happened to all those plans. Just write a big “cancelled” across my 2020 yearly planner. (Is it too late to get my $$ back on that planner?)

So, Monday after retirement, I put away all the stuff I packed up for the FMQ class. Insert sad face emoticon. I then sew up a bunch of fun stuff for the San Diego Humane Society – bird cage curtains, kitten condo mats – using up lots of fabric. Then I see folks on Facebook asking for elastic and fabric for masks. I must have given away over 100 yards of elastic as I am thinking in my head, ‘nope, I won’t be making masks’. Then one day I get a request from SDHS to make masks for their employees & volunteers. I made 40 which was my least enjoyed sewing project. Then I made a bunch more for family and friends. At this point, I am scrounging from neighbors for elastic! My mother-in-law crocheted 60 strips that I sewed on two buttons for ‘mask elastic relievers’. Let’s

just say you don’t need to ever ask me if I have any buttons larger than ½ inch. Thank you, Mom, for saving all those buttons in the Maxwell House coffee jar. And I made a few scrub caps; I actually enjoyed making those. So that’s it; I’ve closed up the PPE shop, hopefully for good. I admire the sewists who say they have made 100s of masks. I’ll lose my mind if I make one more.

I’m type A and it’s been killing me to have an unfinished improv quilt from a previous class. So, I finally finished the top, which was very hard for me as I like things orderly and in straight lines with 90-degree corners. I just need to quilt it and go to Rosie’s for the binding fabric. I am a happy camper now.

Then I made an owl-themed quilt using the disappearing 9-patch method (D9P for those of you into acronyms) for a

friend’s upcoming birthday, but now I’m not sure she will like it as it’s kind of dark. Being a perfectionist, I am considering making another one out of happier fabric. I like to give the perfect gift. Yes, I have paralysis by analysis. Story of my life. Give me the numbers, baby, and I’ll make you a pivot table! (That’s a little Microsoft Excel humor.)

I recently joined this guild, and I already miss the live meetings. You are all so talented and maybe I can absorb some of that creativity. Perhaps one day can make a quilt out of more than just squares and rectangles. However, the next quilt on my bucket list will be out of a jelly roll. Quilt-y habits are hard to break! And I am thankful for having a passion for sewing. It has kept me busy during this crazy Covid-19 time. I hope you all have been Super Heros Sewists and used some of your stash for the good of mankind! Till we see each other again, keep those needles sharp, and your foot pedal to the metal.

Kennel Comfortersby Merilynne Hickman

It has been quiet around the Kennel Comforters work rooms (our homes!) these last several months. The North San Diego County Animal Shelter remains closed to the public. We are patiently waiting for the news that they are opening soon. Of course, there are probably new policy and procedural changes that will be implemented for the safety of the public. Kennel Comforters is very anxious to get back to our work making beds. We are still sewing (at home) and making beds (especially cat beds) and sewing face masks when requested.

We earlier were asked by the County of San Diego Department of Animal

Services to make regular cat and tweenie beds (kittens being fostered for prep for adoption when they return to the shelter). We received a very nice email from the Carlsbad shelter thanking us for the beds and attaching five photos of one of the latest kittens to enjoy a new tweenie cat bed. It is hard to resist such a sweet kitten face and innocent little animal who is waiting for a forever home. Kennel Comforters is happy to be a part of the involvement of our organization with the San Diego County Animal Services shelter system.

We hope that all our volunteers, friends, relatives, and fellow quilters are holding strong during this pandemic. It is a test

of our strength and closeness to those in our lives. When this has passed, there will always be challenges before us and that again gives us all the opportunity to carry on and be happy for what we have. Thank you everyone who loves to quilt and who shares that love with others. And, who shares their love of life with their four-legged friends (pets) who are very precious.

When the North San Diego County Animal Shelter reopens, we will notify all the volunteers of that great news!

Thank you. Merilyne Hickman, KENNEL COMFORTERS

During the month of May, Kennel Comforters volunteers made (at home) 152 round beds and 13 kennel curtains (used to provide quiet and privacy for the animal recovering from surgery or illness while in a kennel enclosure).

The photos are so cute and representative of how much the homeless cats and dogs enjoy a nice, warm, and safe bed to rest their little (and sometimes large [dog]) heads.

Plans are going forward for Royal Family Kids Camp this summer and I am in need of about 25 more quilts. I have surplus from last year to make up the difference of the 50 I need. We take 40 kids to camp and let them pick a quilt. I like to have extra so that the last kids still have a good choice. They absolutely cherish the quilts our guild makes for them.

I know we’re not meeting the next couple

of months so my offer is that I will come pick them up, or if you want you can drop them off to me. I am more than happy to come to you. You can call me at 619-994-0559 or email me at klaboda@san.rr.com. If you call, you will probably have to leave a message unless your number is already in my phone.

Thank you so much for your generosity year after year.

QUILTS FOR ROYAL FAMILY KIDS CAMPby Kay Laboda

Fashionable and functional masksare designer Zhou Li's speciality. Location: Beijing, China. Her embroidered silk face masks feature Chinese characters, camellias, and orchids. They have proven so popular that she can't keep up with demand

"I think everyone's design, every country's design is different. In the future, masks will definitely become a normal product, combining fashion with tradition, featuring human health and protection. It will be like that. Designers should be more creative with this aspect, not only me. I really hope more designers and more people in the fashion industry create their own masks."

Zhou also makes protective suits printed with traditional Chinese paintings after requests for safe but stylish travel outfits.

Zhou, whose Dejin fashion brand recently exhibited at China Fashion Week, has been making embroidered silk masks equipped with high specification N95 air filters since February, providing the fashion-conscious with protective options.

Designers in Vietnam are also creating hand-embroidered and stylish face masks, hoping to convince people to don protective gear in the fight against coronavirus.

Masks Meet Fashion

Wearing a face mask in public is mandatory in Vietnam and authorities are fining anyone who flouts the rules. But foreigners and tourists, in particular, have been spotted out and about unmasked.

Do Quyen Hoa, a fashion designer in Hanoi hopes her eye-catching creations embroidered with flowers, insects and animals will help people think differently about wearing protection. "Some foreigners are still very doubtful about wearing face masks because they think only people who have diseases wear them. So I want these beautiful patterns to change their mind," she said of her hand-made pieces, which take three days to make. I want the facemask to be not just a mask, it can be a fashion item for men and women."

Hoa checks colourful hand-embroidered face masks, used as a preventive measure against the spread of the COVID-19 novel coronavirus, at her workshop in Hanoi.

Several members have asked me how I make a 9-patch block from an 8” square. I use a carperter’s “tick” that my uncle taught me - maybe most of you already know it.Lay out the 8-inch square on paper - be exact, using graph paper if you want. Then lay the rule diagonally from side to sid, placing the beginning mark (or 0) on the left hand side line, and the 9-inch mark on the parallel side line.Then make a dot at 3” and at 6”. Move the ruler verti-cally to make dots the other way. With a ruler, extend the dots to create the 9-patch design.You can use this method to mark an odd number of equal divisions of anything. Del
