Q-U
BRING
TREATS!
Beth Ferrier Returns to
OGQG in September
Beth is a highly experienced quilter who has a gift for
teaching. She offers fun and informative classes and
seminars for beginning and experienced quilters. Her
original patterns are available in quilt shops around the
world.
Beth was given her first sewing kit in kindergarten
and has been putting needle & thread to cloth ever
since. A quilter since 1975, it didn’t take long for her to
start designing her own patterns. A teacher by nature, it was only a mat-
ter of time before the quilting classes began.
―It’s important to me that every student come away from my class ea-
ger for the next challenge.‖ A class with Beth is always fun.
We Could Use Your Help
We have a problem. One of our guild’s major fundraisers is the Op-
portunity Quilt. Sherrill Gerard graciously accepted the position in
January but has had to step down for serious health reasons. Unfortu-
nately, we have been unable to find anyone to step up and coordinate the
display of this year’s ―Heart’s Delight‖ opportunity quilt.
Lots of hours have gone into creating and sewing this quilt. It would
be a shame if we were not able to give this wonderful quilt the exposure
it deserves.
To our members belonging to other guilds, please
ask your guild if you could display and sell tickets for
our opportunity quilt at one of their meetings. This
would be an enormous help and would be very much
appreciated.
If you are willing to do this please call me anytime at
(949) 642-4373. Thank you.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
September is
back to school
month. I guess it is
time to start watch-
ing for crossing
guards, children on
bicycles, and a big
increase in traffic.
But, it’s not time to
say goodbye to our
summer days. I am
almost certain we
have many bright
and sunny days to
come.
September is also
our Guilds’ birthday
month. It is Happy
Birthday to the Or-
ange Grove Quilters
Guild as we cele-
brate our twenty-
eighth year. Over
the years our guild
has developed and
grown into an amaz-
ing collection of gen-
erous, friendly and
caring members.
Each of you is spe-
cial. And, each of
you adds immensely
to our Guild’s suc-
cess.
As the clock con-
tinues ticking away,
we are approaching
the October 13th
deadline for several
challenges. There is
the final Guild Chal-
lenge ―What Mama
Said‖; the UFO Chal-
lenge’s fourth quilt;
and finally, the quilt
acquisitions for the
quilt show…..all are
due no later than the
October 13th guild
meeting.
I am looking ahead
with much anticipa-
tion. Keep stitching
your beautiful pro-
jects with a happy
heart.
~Ellen

Want to Learn Some Sneaky Stuff? September’s
Workshop is Just For You!!! Wow! Two days of color and creativity with Melinda Bula! Both workshop
days were filled with fun and productivity. Melinda’s delightful personality made
each and every participant dig deep into her creative possibilities and the results
were fabulous.
In September we will have Beth Ferrier at Guild teaching ―Sneaky Piecing
Tricks. This workshop will help you improve your piecing and pressing tech-
niques and learn some sneaky ways to put a block together. There is some precut-
ting, so those of you in the class be sure to check your supply list and get your
pieces cut in order to maximize class time.
Would you like to take a workshop for free in 2011? You could be the lucky
winner! Tickets will be on sale starting in September-
$1.00 each or 6 for $5.00. The drawing will be in No-
vember and the winner can choose from any work-
shop offered in 2011. Tickets are for Guild members
only and are not transferable. You can get your tick-
ets at the Workshop table.
Again, please do not hesitate to put your name on
the wait lists for workshops as many times, because
of ―life‖ happenings someone may cancel and a place
opens up.
Our workshops are held at the Westminster Village Clubhouse – 5200 Black-
pool. It is a lovely venue with lots of light and space. Please bring your, lunch,
snacks, drinks, project supplies and extension cords. The workshop starts
promptly at 9 AM.
Any questions? See us at the Workshop Table or contact us at:
Marie Blash: 714-775-8004; [email protected] ; Justine Gentile: 714-962-8447;
[email protected]. Hope to see you at a workshop soon!
Marie and Justine
May your
sorrows be
patched and
your joys
quilted.
The Basketeers Say Thanks

either save them for the next baskets or put them right away into the current
beautiful baskets. Our tickets are still $1.00 for 2 tickets $5.00 for 12 tickets.
With your help we made $148.00 which helps the Guild. Next month we will
be making the baskets with back to school colors — Fall & Autumn colors—

YOUR QUILT PICTURE IN THIS BOX
Page 5 ORANGE GROVE QUILTERS GUILD
God, grant me the
wisdom to accept
the fabric I can-
not return, cour-
age to just change
the ugly blocks I
can, and the
knowledge to un-
derstand that my
stash trash can
be someone else’s
treasured bar-
gain.
Thank you from the 3
-1 Marines for all the
school supplies. They
had a truck full. Also, a
thank you from Words of
Comfort, Hope and
Promise. At the beach
party held at Camp Pen-
dleton we were able to
give out 63 baby quilts to
new moms & dads with
children under 2 years of
age and expecting moms
& dads. They were so
appreciative. Some had a
hard time deciding on a
quilt. WOW! Forty-nine
pillowcases came in and
35 went out for comple-
tion. Please get the pil-
lowcases back at the Sep-
tember meeting as they
will be given to the foster
children at their picnic on
September 19th. We want
to be sure they have plenty
this year.
We still need quilts
for boys and veterans. The
vet’s quilts do not need to
be red, white & blue, just
masculine. Maybe, if you
have UFO of blocks that
you can put together and
we will get them
quilted. We have Christ-
mas stocking kits ready to
be put together. Please
save those Hobbs batting
bar codes and the Tuscany
Collection inserts. We do
go through a lot of bat-
ting. Thanks for all the
quilts and tops that came
in. We really appreciate the
efforts of the ladies of this
guild!
Philanthropy Really Delivers!
Lost and Found:
A Zip lock bag filled with
Raw Edge Circles on
Squares was left behind at
the August guild meeting.
Please see Ellen Roman to
be reunited with your sew-
ing treasures.
Bus Trip Coordinator Needed:
Road to California Bus trip for January 2011 is
right around the corner. Rose Viola has had to
step down for personal reasons. We are in desper-
ate need of a volunteer to organize and schedule
the trip. Preparations need to begin taking place
as booking the bus, contacting Road for advance
tickets, sign-ups and collection of fees should begin
in October. Should no one step forward, there will
be no bus trip which would leave about 50 ladies
behind. See Ellen Roman or call 949-642-4373.
3-1 Marine Rep-
resentative Dave
Sullivan thanked
the Guild for their
generosity, and
then tried to fit all
this stuff in his
van!

―A Patchwork of Quilts‖ Quilt Show –
November 5 and 6, 2010 We are only a couple of months away from the Quilt Show in November and
the committee is moving forward with much enthusiasm. On Show days, it
takes many hands to pull it all together. Justine Gentile and
Mary Stockard are coordinating the volunteers in the following areas:
Hanging the Quilts Take Down of Quilts
Admissions Door Prizes
The Patchwork General Store Vendor Assistance
White Glove Ticket sales for Jo’s Girls (quilt)
Ticket sales for Opportunity Baskets and for the sewing machine
Ticket sales for the Opportunity Quilt
Thank you to all of you who signed up at the meeting and if you haven’t
signed up yet, please sign up at the next meeting in September or call Justine to
indicate which area you’ll be available to help and on what day you prefer to
volunteer. As we approach the show date, you’ll be contacted by the Chairper-
son as to specifics on time, etc.
The deadline for your show entry is September 13, so complete your form,
indicate your category and include a picture. Please send or turn in your Entry
form to Merci Apodaca. All information is indicated on the Entry form included
in the Newsletter or on our website.
We (Linda and Joyce) are continuing to take sign ups for the quilt Appraiser,
Julia Zgliniec. She will appraise your quilt while at the show. If you have a quilt
of some value, it is important to have it appraised, especially for insurance pur-
poses. The cost is $25 for a verbal evaluation and $50 for a written appraisal
( cash or check payable to Julia).
We are looking forward to a fun show and without you, it wouldn’t be possible.
Please let us know if you have any additional suggestions or comments.
Happy Quilting!
Linda Gray and Joyce Oberle
Quilt Show Co-Chairs

Thank You to Our Unsung Heroes
Each month our Hospitality staff creates incredible and in-
spiring decorative displays to enhance the table of donated
snacks. I am certain that we would all agree that our snacks
never looked so good with their lovely monthly themes.
Rose Carter, Pat Essington, Linda Gotthard and Kay
Johnstone have worked together as a team and are our
Hospitality Hostesses Extraordinaire. I am pleased to honor
and congratulate these ladies as our August Unsung Heroes.

Look for Some
Great Stuff at the

What a wonderful re-
sponse we have had to our
―scrap‖ collection. There
are some wonderful fab-
rics in the stash – some
large pieces and some
smaller. If you are look-
ing for just the right piece
to finish a project or
smaller pieces for appli-
qué, this will be the place
to shop. There are cottons,
flannels and other fabrics
to choose from. Thank
you to everyone who has
donated. A special thank
you as well to everyone
who has made or is mak-
ing those special items for
the shelves of our General
Store. Please keep bring-
ing in your items. The
earlier we get them the
better so we can organize
and price everything.
Your handmade items,
gently used or unused
quilting patterns, fabric
scraps, antique blocks and
fabrics can be turned in to
us any time until the Octo-
ber guild meeting.
