What A Great Guild! Valley Quilters In Hemet
I had a wonderful time on Tuesday visiting with the Valley Quilters Guild in Hemet, California. My lecture subject was PreCut Paradise and together we examined about 30 quilts made with precut pieces of fabric. Tonight, Thursday June 25, I am giving this same lecture at Night Owls Quilt Guild in Rancho Cucamonga (Meeting is in the David Dreier Hall at James L. Brulte Senior Center; 11200 Baseline Road; Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91701.) Meeting starts at 7!
The Valley Quilters meet in this expansive room and they’re a very friendly group. They are actively helping groups in their community from hospice to the police department. I told you they were wonderful group!
And the reception to my lecture was just wonderful. I think we quilters purchase these precut bundles but then are uncertain how to use them. Fat Quarter Packs, Charm Squares, Jelly Rolls, Bali Pops, Layer Cakes and all the other Pre-Cut goodies seem too pretty to unwrap, cut up and sew back together. Still, I’ve begun to realize… It’s better to admire these wonders in an actual quilt! And I was tickled to share the results with the Valley Quilters.
Many Thanks to this wonderful Guild!

The Triangle Sherbet quilt is so much fun to put together. I made mine all in flannel, but this quilt would be wonderful in any grouping… How about starting with a group of Hoffman Batik fat quarters! Yum! It’s easy so it’s great for a beginner and also a quick go-to quilt for the more advanced quilter. The pattern is just 99 Cents!
The Very Quick Quilt (V.Q.Q.) is perhaps the easiest block quilt you can make… Just a square! Shown here in Nearly Christmas prints, imagine it in Kaffe Fassett or 30s prints. Starting with a group of coordinated squares, the V.Q.Q. makes up into a stylish statement… And in multiple sizes. Only 99 Cents!
The HourGlass quilt is made up of scrappy reds with black and white accents. Or maybe you’d like it in Lime Greens… Sunflower Yellows or Bright Blues! Using a slick HourGlass trick and lots of scraps, you’ll soon have a fabulous quilt. Just 99 Cents!
Thanks again to the Valley Quilters Guild in Hemet for a delightfully inspiring visit!
