A word from Our President

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Can you believe it is already 2019! With a new year comes lots of

new and exciting things. With our January meeting we will be off to a new start, although

you will still have me as your President. But, this should be a fun year for all of us.

We have a wonderful lineup of speakers/teachers. Be sure to see Carolyn Rhodes, our

new workshop chair, to see what classes are still available. Remember— your spot isn’t

guaranteed until you pay for the class. The class for Edyta Sitar may look a bit steep but

the $80 includes the cost to take the workshop plus the kit. That is how Edyta teaches and

we are so lucky to have 2 classes with her in April. And, Deborah Tirico is coming in

May and is teaching a wool project. She is internationally acclaimed and will travel from

Scranton, Pennsylvania to teach wool applique. Check her out.

In June we will have our second Sewing Room/Home Tour and Luncheon. Plans are well

underway for it. If you are looking to get involved in the guild, this is the perfect oppor-

tunity and a wonderful way to get to know more guild members.

As the current year winds down, I am reminded of all the things I have to be grateful for

— my family, friends, this guild! My family is a continuing source of strength and pride

for me. They always have my back and have always supported my involvement in our

guild. Most of my friends are also members of this guild. It makes me smile each month

when I walk into a meeting and see so many of you eager to hear our speakers, connect

with other members and meet our new members. We are growing in leaps and bounds

with a membership of over 300. We really are lucky.

I look forward to seeing all of you in the new year at a meeting, workshop, sew day or

one of our other events.

Happy Stitching,

Marie

Cutting Edge Award:

The December recipients of my Cutting Edge Award were Tina Coyle and

Aggie Venaas. These two ladies arrive early each month and set up the table

for hospitality with beautiful decorations, napkins, plates, etc. They make

sure everything is perfect and ready for all the lovely snack donations

brought in by the members. Thanks Ladies!!

ORANGE GROVE QUILTERS GUILD

Quilt in A Day Trip

The guild has been invited to a special event at Quilt in A Day! We are setting up car-pools to travel there on Thursday, February 28, 2019. We are invited to come for a special presentation, lunch, shopping and a visit with Elea-nor Burns. The cost per person for this event is $35 (Lunch will be provided by Quilt in A Day and come from Panera.) We will leave in time to arrive before the 10:00 am start of the show. Please join us for this special event. We are taking paid reservations for the event at the December and January guild meetings or until we are full. We can take up to 60 people. We are carpooling. If you can drive and take some ladies that is great. If you want to join a carpool we can set you up or you can form your own carpool. The cost of the event is $35. ($25 + $10 for the driver for gas.) Please NOTE - If you are going to be a driver you still must pay the $35, you will be reimbursed your $10 at the time of the event. Please see Bonnie Lippincott at the guild meeting to make a reservation. Exact cash or a check is preferred.

Philanthropy In December, Philanthropy collected 11 pillowcases, 11

adult quilts, 15 children’s quilts, and 1 patriotic quilt.

The adult quilts went to St Joseph’s Cancer Center. You

were also very generous in giving so much to the 3-1

Marines. They were so excited by your help!

Many of you accepted the challenge to take fabric packs and make a quilt! I look

forward to seeing what you will do with these as I know how creative you are.

Let us know how you like the challenge and if you would like to see it continued.

No Sew Days December and January. We will resume February 7 when we plan

Mary Burger to demonstrate quilting with a walking foot. And Sharon Closson

will repeat her demonstration on using glue to baste your quilts. I use both tech-

niques and am a fan. Put that date on your calendar now. We meet in the rec cen-

ter at Driftwood Mobile Home Park, 15621 Beach Blvd, Huntington Beach. It is

near the corner of Beach and McFadden. Hope to see you there! We generally

start around 9:30; break for lunch around 12:00 and are packing up around 2.

Thanks again for all your support of the many projects philanthropy can do.

Becky Meekhof

Quilts for the Camp Fire Victims

Thank you to the ladies who brought in the wonderful

quilts to send up to the victims of the Camp Fire. This

month I sent 12 quilts and some toys that were donated.

That makes a total of 17 quilts to date. I will keep on

doing this each month as long as there is a need and as long as the quilts come in

from all of you. There is a tremendous need for these, especially as winter is up-

on us. It gets pretty cold up in that area of our state.

2019 Luncheon & Home/Sewing Room Tour

Perfectly Peachy

June 22, 2019

ROOM/HOME TOUR AND LUNCHEON

The planning is well under way for this fun event on June 22, 2019. The committee is working hard to make

sure the day will be perfect. Tickets and challenge packets will be available either February or March. It all

depends on having the printing completed. Luncheon tickets will be $45 per person and challenge packets

will be $5. We will also be taking signups for the opportunity baskets. More on that at the January meeting.

The next committee meeting will be January 18 at my home at 10am. Come and join us.

ROAD TO CALIFORNIA Bus Trip

January 24, 2019

There are still seats left! Hurry to my table at guild to reserve those remaining

seats. Don’t miss out!!

The quilt show, Road to California, starts Thursday, January 24, 2019. Did you

know that a single day entrance is $16.00 if you go on your own? That doesn’t include park-

ing, and walking to the venue, waiting in line to get your ticket, walking through the whole

show, and then walking back to your car before you even get to drive home.

That is why we organize our annual bus trip, so that you get transportation from the Elk’s

Lodge included, no parking fees, and it includes your show entrance fee, tip included. For

$40, you get there with curbside service, go in and enjoy the day, and get curbside service to

pick you up and take you home. What a deal!! Walkers and walking assistance can be accom-

modated.

Pam Boozan is selling tickets at our next guild meeting. If we don’t sell at least 45 seats, we

may have to cancel, so don’t lose out on this opportunity. Come on. You’ll have fun.

Depart from the Elk’s Lodge. Bus arrives at 7:00 am, final departure 7:30 am Depart Road 2 California at 2:30 pm Return to Elk’s Lodge by 4:00 pm Elk’s Lodge parking is available to the right (east) parking lot. Snacks and water will be provided on the trip home. Lunch is available for sale at the show. If bringing lunch, you may be asked if it is required for a medical reason. Contact Pam Boozan at 714 962-5231 or 714 318-8673 for any questions. Tickets are non-refundable.

THE 2019 UFO CHALLENGE

ONE PIECE AT A TIME GETS YOU TO THE FINISH LINE!

We have 27 sign-ups already but wouldn’t it be great if we could double that in January?

So bring in your paperwork at the January 9th guild meeting.

Everyone who signs up in January will be entered in our monthly prize drawing. If you forgot to

pick up a form—no worries, I’ll have some on hand.

Your first quilt is due at the January meeting. At the end of the meeting, we will draw the number of

your next UFO at the March 13 meeting.

Remember –take one piece at a time and you’ll get to the finish line!!!

Orange Grove Quilters Guild

Quilters’ UFO Challenge 2019

"One Piece at a Time Gets You to the Finish Line!"

This is a chance to turn five UFOs into quilts in only one year!

Decide which of your UFOs need to be quilts . . . pick 5

Describe the finished quilts on the next page. Make sure that No. 1 is the one you want to work on

first. Give enough information to easily identify each quilt. For example, “green churn dash” is a

better description than “Bill’s birthday quilt.” Fill out the list and make a copy for yourself so you

know what to work on next!

“Finished” means quilted, bound and labeled.

The first quilt, due on January 9, 2019 will be No. 1 on your list. It may be turned in early. After that,

one quilt will be due every two months, except the fourth quilt will have 3 months because we have

no meeting in July. The order of the quilts will be chosen randomly from the remaining numbers.

That means that the second quilt due will not necessarily be #2 on your list.

When you turn in your first UFO for inspection, you will be given a ribbon and a button to attach show-

ing that quilt is finished. You will receive another button for each UFO as it is recorded as finished.

There will be drawings for prizes after each due date is reached; therefore, all who finish even just

one quilt will be eligible to win a prize that month. Other prizes will be awarded when the year is

up.

WAYS AND MEANS - BASKETS Basket Winners: #1 Shanon Raustadt #2 Joann Williams #3 Louese Nadeau

WAYS AND MEANS— BASKETS

2019!!! Where does all the time go??? New Year’s Resolutions?? Yes or No? How about just one– To treat each other with kindness! After the hectic season, time to stop and take stock (whatever that means to you). If it means downsizing, please remember to bring any gently used items for the baskets. Things like fin-

ished and unfinished small projects, supplies, fabric and almost anything that you feel others would appreciate. Got a lot of hand cream or body wash you can’t use? Teas you won’t drink, candy you won’t eat, candles you won’t light...you get the idea. They are great fillers for the baskets. Just a reminder: make sure you deposit your tickets by the end of the break. Also, as a courtesy

to speakers, please purchase tickets before the meeting starts (We try to set up approximately one hour before) and during the break. Thank you for your cooperation. Hoping to see you at our table in 2019! Justine Gentile and Carol Logue
