SHOW HIGHLIGHTS
Opportunity Quilt!
SFQG Challenge Collection
A SFQG quilt show tradition. This year’s challenge
theme is “The Ocean”. With the great ocean at our doorstep we have a treasure trove of possibilities. The shore, the
great ocean surface and the mysterious world below. Guild
members are encouraged to participate by interpreting their
ideas of “The Ocean” in a 20 inch square quilt using any
technique and any medium they choose.
Quilt Appraisals
Do you have a treasured family quilt? A newly purchased quilt? Would you like an expert opinion of its value?
Nancy Bavor, AQS certified quilt and textile appraiser is
available during the show. You will get a 30 minutes consultation with a written, signed statement, for $50 per quilt.
Located in Hall C.
If you did not bring your quilt, you can make an appointment with her for a later date.
For more information, see Nancy Bavor’s website,
www.quiltworth.com.
Quiltlet Project
This is an ongoing project since 2003 to welcome
visitors to our show. Guild members donate these 8 1/2”
square quiltlet to the guild. These quiltlets are then tied together into larger quilts for the show. There are over 150
quiltlets displaying their work in fabrics. We hope you will
enjoy viewing our quiltlet quilts. They can be found in the
hallway to the right of the entrance.
The Quilts & Crafts Shop
Come see all the wonderful handmade offerings the
SFQG members have made for sale: quilts galore, bags,
brooches, needle cases and pincushions, scarves, hot pads,
and aprons are among the large variety of items being offered. Think ahead for all types of special occasions – birthdays, weddings, babies, showers or a no-special-reason
gift. Or plan ahead for some hostess gifts, stocking stuffers,
or a special something for yourself!
If you are interested in purchasing one of the quilts for
sale on exhibit in the show, we will be happy to assist you
with the transaction.
We are located in Room C by the kitchen area, to the
left as you enter the front entrance. A percentage of the
sales will be donated to the Guild.
Charter member and first President of the SF Quilters
Guild, Caroline Lieberman, teaches quilting for SF Community College. Among the many techniques taught each
semester, the latest was piecing curved seams. Caroline’s
students pieced the blocks. The basic design is “Puzzle Boxes” a variation on the very old and well known “Drunkards
Path”. Some of these students are Guild members but not all
so we appreciate their generosity. The quilt then quilted by
Sue Fox in variegated thread.
Tickets are still available to win this boldly colorful
quilt, located near the Front Entrance. Tickets are $1 each
or 6 for $5. Drawing will be held on Saturday, 2nd day of
show.
Maker Station
Create something fun with fabrics here. Everyone welcome with activities for all ages. We ask parents to stay
with your children while they are participating. Located
in Hall C. (Closes 5:00 on Friday)
You and your children can also join in the Treasure Hunt
with clues leading to special quilts in the show. Its a great
activity for parents and their children while enjoying the
walk on the exhibit floor together. Pick up your Treasure
Hunt sheet at the Maker Station. Bring the completed Treasure Hunt sheet back to Maker Station to collect a prize.
The Dorcas Quilters
Demonstrating their heirloom quality hand quilting
skills, this dedicated 15-member group (based in St. John’s
Presbyterian Church in S.F.), complete 2 to 4 quilts per year.
Their hand quilting is a highly sought-after for-hire service.
SFQG Community Outreach Program

makes and donates quilts to a number of non-profit agencies
and hospitals.

Welcome to QUILT San Francisco: 2015
Welcome to QUILT San Francisco 2015 - our 14th biennial Quilt Show sponsored by the San Francisco Quilters’
Guild. We have completely re-imagined the show. As San
Francisco transforms, our Show has transformed to keep up.
We are excited to be in a wonderful new venue – The Event
Center at St Mary’s - with new show days and times, and
new events. Featured Artist, Velda Newman, will dazzle you
with her work, a true feast of design, color and technique.
Our Special Exhibits – “THAT’s a Quilt?!” and Story Quilts
- will intrigue and challenge your notion of what quilts
can be. Beautiful quilts and other hand-made items by our
members are available both in the Quilt and Craft Shop and
throughout the Show. Demonstrations of hand quilting by
Dorcas Quilters and the Maker Station will feature fun,
quick projects for all ages. Be sure not to miss our Shopping Happy Hour Friday from 4 – 7 PM for light refreshments and extended opportunity to view the Show as well
as patronize our vendors.
The San Francisco Quilters’ Guild is in its 34th year. Our
mission is to share quilting skills and knowledge through
lectures, workshops, our library and the fellowship of other
quilter. Our contributions to our community include making
and providing quilts to a range of community organizations.
We meet the third Tuesday of the month – please come join
us!
Jane Strem, President
San Francisco Quilters Guild, March, 2015
FEATURED ARTIST - VELDA NEWMAN
Come Meet Velda Newman, our Featured Artist and her work. She will talk about
her inspiration and techniques. Velda Newman is an internationally recognized contemporary quilt artist, author and lecturer from Northern California. Known for her
large scale, mostly organic designs, Velda creates original quilts of exceptional beauty
and craftsmanship. For the past 18 years Velda’s work has appeared in many national
and international exhibitions and has been featured in over 30 publications, including Quilter’s Newsletter and Threads magazine. She lives in Northern California.
ttp://veldanewman.com.
Velda Newman will be giving a tour of her work, each day, at 11:30 and again at
1:30.
SPECIAL EXHIBITS
Story Quilts
All quilts start with a story when it is in the creative
stages. What color, what theme, what size, who is it going
to be for? How will the fabrics and design help tell the story
of this quilt. We have a selection of Story Quilts this year
that have a wide variety of stories. Many of these quilts
have tears on them; tears of joy and tears of sadness, but
tears tend to be part of the story quilts process. Please take a
moment and read the quiltmaker’s story and then step back
and experience the story of each quilt. We hope this may
inspire you to make a story quilt of your own.
THAT’s a Quilt?!
This special exhibition features work by members of
the Northern California and Nevada region of Studio Art
Quilt Associates. The juried entries demonstrate both a connection to the quilt tradition as well as intentional differences that take them into the realm of art. Using innovative,
experimental approaches to materials, concept or technique,
the artists aim to prompt viewers to exclaim, “THAT’s a
quilt?!”
Visitors will also have the rare opportunity to look at
and handle dozens of small art quilts from one of SAQA’s
trunk shows.
SAQA is an international nonprofit organization whose
mission is to promote the art quilt through education, exhibitions, professional development and documentation. Founded in 1989, it counts some 2,400 artists, teachers, collectors,
gallery owners, museum curators and corporate sponsors
among its members.
To see more art quilts, visit SAQA on the web at http://
www.saqa.com and the NorCal/Nevada region’s blog at
http://saqa-norcal.blogspot.com.
Memorial Quilts
Several of our community members have passed away
in the last few years, so to honor them and their creative
lives, we are showing some of their work.

QUILT San Francisco: 2015
JUDGING AND JUDGES RIBBONS
One of the ways we have learned to grow as quilters is to have our work judged. We have the option of having our quilts
judged or not. For those of us who wish to have our quilts judged, seeing our quilts through the eyes of professional judges
and receiving their written comments, provides us a way to learn and improve our techniques for our next quilt. Judges
are trained to view each of our quilts objectively for areas of excellence and areas needing improvement in the following
categories:
General Appearance
Design and Composition/Workmanship
Ribbons, First, Second and Third place plus Honorable Mention can be awarded in each of our 26 categories. Each
judge also has the opportunity to award a Judges Choice ribbon. Special ribbons will also be awarded for Best of Show, Best
Use of Color, Original Design, Most Whimsical, Best Garniture.
The San Francisco Quilters Guild thanks the following distinguished panel of professional judges.
We appreciate their experience, expertise and words of praise and encouragement.
Dixie McBride
Kitty Oliver
Elizabeth Marrs
Diane Hock
Special thanks to member Valerie Lynn and her talented team of embroiderers for our fabulous and unique, handcrafted
ribbons. The ribbon theme this year is ‘stripes’. We hope viewers will take a moment to enjoy their workmanship while
viewing our quilts.
YOU BE THE JUDGE: VIEWERS CHOICE AWARD
The Viewers’ Choice ribbon is one of our most coveted awards, so use your dots to vote for your favorites. You get to
vote - use your dots all on one quilt or spread them out. It’s your choice. Have fun! The winner will be announced at our
April meeting.
