Hi ladies,
Tomorrow we are having a program that includes 2 videos. The videos can be found at these two web addresses in case there is any trouble with zooming them. I wanted to make sure that you didn’t miss out on them due to technical difficulties.
We will meet up online and zoom away throughout the meeting. See you tomorrow!

The program Vintage Housewife Block of the Month rollout by our President, Cindy Ochoa was awesome! Cindy described the process of Lori Holt’s applique technique and the basics of making our blocks. Join in on the fun! There will be an invite for you to sign up.
If you missed the meeting, check out the Show and Tell pictures on the website for January. There are some fantastic fish, circling cats and some cute kids sewing!

Julianna (Julie) Havens Rittmeyer, 79, of Savannah, GA passed away in her home October 20, 2020.
She was born in Newark, NY, August 30th, 1941 to Wilbur and Gladys (Westcott) Havens. She was married in 1962 to Andreas Rittmeyer. She graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) BFA and MST. Julie was an artist, teacher, mother, and grandmother.
Passionate about art, travel, history and politics, she expressed her love through her creativity, whether it was quilting, gardening, painting, cooking or teaching, and through her extensive charitable work including voter registration, literacy, battered-women support, and hospital support. She lived in Newark, Buffalo, Rochester, Zurich, Paris, London and finally Savannah. She taught at Avon High School, the International School of London, Nazareth College, Savannah Arts Academy and Bartlett Middle School. Julie travelled extensively in the U.S. and abroad.
She is survived by her children, Chris, Rob and Katie (Brown), their spouses Miriam, Pam and Earl; grandchildren Nico, Will, Jack, Maggie, Lily, Danny and Kristen, and great grandson Connor, her cousin Jeanne Dugan, Jeanne’s husband Tom Dugan and their boys Jeff and Brian.
Because of the ongoing pandemic an online zoom memorial service will be held on Saturday October 31, 2020 at 2 pm EDT.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Phalarope, a non-for profit organization that empowers women to better the lives of children https://www.phalarope.org/donate.
Her quilts and paintings can be purchased through a link on the Phalarope website with all proceeds to go to a scholarship fund to empower women to fulfill their dreams through education. https://www.phalarope.org/julie-havens-rittmeyer-fund
Her curiosity and thirst for knowledge were unquenchable. She became an overflowing well of information that she loved to share. A quirky, questioning, vibrant, bon-vivant, she lived a life in full with creativity and gusto.
Hi, Quilters!
The Saturday issues have been corrected by changing a few settings in the format of the zoom meeting. What a relief to have the zoom working as it should. I’m just so sorry that it wasn’t the smooth program that I had hoped for.
The Powerpoint Presentation is now recorded as a video with voice so if you did not get to see it you can click here to get to the SQG Program page on our website. Also under the November Program is a video demo of how you can change a block to spice up a quilt in EQ8.
Here is the opening video that I showed – EQ8 Quilt Design Software Promo.
Here is another video that is fun, Drawing EasyDraw pieced blocks in EQ8.
If you are interested in attending the Nancy Mahoney workshop on EQ8 after the February 13th meeting, please let me know. It isn’t often that you get a teacher that comes to you that can teach EQ8.
Happy Turkey Day to all you lovely quilters!
Renee Christensen
