DECEMBER 2020 Volume 12 Number 8 Zoom Video Conference - December 8, 2020 9:30am - 12:00pm Check your email for link to the meeting. Program - David Owen Hastings Exploring Nature with Paper and Stitch David Owen Hastings grew up in a household of creatives. At an early age, using his grandmother’s 1950’s Singer, he made clothes for his platoon of GI Joes. As an artist, he uses this same machine to stitch together the paper- based collages which he has created and shown in galleries for over 20 years. David noted in an interview in Creating Whimsey that he almost always stitches on paper during the collage process as it provides a structural function (no waiting for glue to dry) as well as a linear element. His work is abstract, inspired by the patterns, shapes, colors, and textures in nature. Plants and leaves, microorganisms, and weathered surfaces are influences as well as Japanese art and culture. His lecture, Exploring Nature with Paper and Stitch, will discuss his inspirations and creative process. He will show examples and include details for those who wish to try his techniques. With a life-long love of textiles, sewing, and knitting, it was almost inevitable that David would turn to quilting. He will talk about how his experience as a gallery artist led to the world of modern quilting. David Owen Hastings is a quilter, graphic designer, print and textile artist, and the 2020 President of the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild. Sharing knowledge, encouraging creativity, and teaching new skills are his personal passions. He also loves to travel, especially in Asia, and enjoys sharing his experiences and inspiration through travel photos and stories. For more, go to: davidowenhastings.com. Edward Degas Detail of Hato (Dove) by David Owen Hastings by David Owen Hastings 35.5x28.75" 66x48" Upcoming Programs ​January 12th, 2021 - Mary Tabar Lecture: Embellishment Techniques (Zoom) www.marytabar.com February 9, 2021 - Elizabeth Eastmond Abecedary Quilts (Zoom) Workshop: Merrion Square (more under Workshops) www.opquilt.com March 9, 2021 - Edyta Sitar Reasons for Quilts www.laundrybasketquilts.com President’s Corner - Mary Arter For the past few years, we have celebrated Christmas Day in Laguna Beach with my daughter, son-in-law, and their kids. One tradition is that my daughter insists that everyone must wear an ugly Christmas sweater. Since I did not own such a thing, I had to get one. I found this lovely example on Amazon—tomato red and lime green with stars, stripes, and other designs. I ordered it in my usual size, thinking that even if it was ugly, it should at least fit properly. However, the sweater I received was five sizes too large! I was going to return it but decided that its bagginess just adds to its ugliness. Now it is my go-to sweater on Christmas Day! Regardless of your faith, tradition, or how you celebrate this time of year, my wish is that you have a safe, healthy, and happy season and a good start to 2021. Membership - Vivien Hawker​ ​The November 10, 2020 Zoom general meeting: Members Present - 79 Guests - 0 New members - 0 Total at Zoom meeting - 79 Total current members - 182 Sandy Sullivan won attendance door prize; Monica Shafer won the Show & Tell fat quarter prize. Guest policy: A guest may attend one Zoom general meeting at no charge. If a guest wishes to attend additional meetings, we ask that they either join the guild or mail $5 to the guild's PO box for each meeting attended. (PO Box address is at the bottom of this newsletter.) Parliamentarian - Monica Shafer Needed: Nominating Committee for 2021-2022 ​Executive Board Positions December is here and 2020 is coming to a close. (Thank goodness!) In the new year, we will look forward to the board turnover in May. We need to begin to plan who will be nominated to fill these positions. During the December General Meeting, I will ask for five volunteers—not currently on the executive board—to help draw up a list of possible candidates. In April, membership will vote on the five nominees to fill the 2021-2022 executive board positions of President, 1st VP Programs, 2nd VP Membership, 3rd VP Facilities, Secretary, and Treasurer. Philanthropy - Linda Chiu & Nancy Pestal In October, a small group was given access to the church and was able to collect fabric for quilt backs as well as to cut batting. We also offered a fat quarter sale and made over $150. (Obviously, we all had cabin fever and needed to get out of the house.) Thank you for your support! We will provide pillowcases for military children but, sad to say, their Christmas event was cancelled. Thanks to those who made pillowcases; we collected over 50! In November, we delivered 35 quilts to Meals on Wheels in Dana Point. We had planned to have another fat quarter and magazine sale at the church but that had to be postponed. Please contact us if we can deliver any kits or fabric to you. We sure appreciate your help! Happy sewing! ​Block of the Month - Vickie Janis, Janis Toman BOM ​BLOCK 9 FLOWER FUN The ninth block of the month for 2020-2021 is the Spinning Daisy.

Social Media - Monica Shafer Below is a list of the social media accounts I follow, mostly on Instagram. Some of them are traditional quilters, lots of them are modern quilters, and a couple are food and wellness related accounts, whose photos and recipes are too good not to share.

  • Bayeux Style Initials

    Bayeux Style Initials

    ©Ava, 2014 Bayeux style initials Drachenwald Crown Tourney 2014 workshop by Ava van Allecmere [email protected] Introduction: The Bayeux Tapestry is an embroidered cloth—not an actual tapestry—nearly 70 metres (230 ft) long, which depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England concerning William, Duke of Normandy, and Harold, Earl of Wessex, later King of England, and culminating in the Battle of Hastings. The word tapestry comes from French tapisser, which means ‘to cover the wall’, thus wall covering. The tapestry consists of some fifty scenes with Latin tituli (captions), embroidered on linen with coloured woollen yarns. It is likely that it was commissioned by Bishop Odo, William's half- brother, and made in England—not Bayeux—in the 1070s. In 1729 the hanging was rediscovered by scholars at a time when it was being displayed annually in Bayeux Cathedral. The tapestry is now exhibited at Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux in Bayeux, Normandy, France. In a series of pictures supported by a written commentary the tapestry tells the story of the events of 1064–1066 culminating in the Battle of Hastings. The two main protagonists are Harold Godwinson, recently crowned King of England, leading the Anglo-Saxon English, and William, Duke of Normandy, leading a mainly Norman army, sometimes called the companions of William the Conqueror. Construction, design and technique: The Bayeux tapestry is embroidered in wool yarn on a tabby-woven linen ground 68.38 metres long and 0.5 metres wide (224.3 ft × 1.6 ft) and using two methods of stitching: outline or stem stitch for lettering and the outlines of figures, and couching or laid work for filling in figures.

Whether you are a beginner or an Olympic gold medalist, ice skating is a great way to get some exercise while having fun. Besides the thrill of the sport, there are also various health benefits motivating skaters to strap on those blades. Ice skat- ing utilizes almost all major muscle groups, and it is no wonder that this form of cardio is great for the heart. Skating outside gives you an even bet- ter workout than an indoor FROZEN IN TIME rink, because you are often working against the elements.
