November 14th Speaker -Leah Zieber

Leah is a Southern California quilt historian and

quilt maker specializing in Antique Reproduction

Quilts from the nineteenth century. Her reproduc-

tion quilts have been exhibited at quilt shows and

historical museums across the country. Most re-

cently her 19th century star quilt, “I Can Only Im-

agine” was published and patterned by American

Quilt Study Group in the publication, Stars: A

Study of 19th Century Star Quilts. The quilt is in

its fourth year of a cross-country tour.

She has worked closely with antique quilt collec-

tors cataloging, managing and independently researching their extensive textile collections.

Over fifteen years of in-depth exposure and study of antique textiles has provided her with

a wealth of knowledge that is instrumental in identifying and dating antique and vintage

quilts. Her own quilt collection spans over one hundred and fifty years and she shares her

knowledge of American Quilt History through lectures and workshops with Southern Cali-

fornia quilt guilds and historical societies.

Additionally, Leah is now an author of historical fiction novels. Her American Heritage

Quilt Series, which chronologically follows Elizabeth Jane Morgan and her descendants

through one hundred years of American Quilting History. Leah’s Lecture/trunk show will be on Historical Antique quilts. I think we will be excited

to see her collection. I’m sure we are going to learn a lot about the “authentic” civil-war

quilts and beyond.

A word from Our President

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Can it be November already?? Thanksgiving is upon us and we all have so much to be

thankful for. I have my health, an amazing husband, wonderful children, grandchildren

and a fantastic sewing room. And, the most wonderful friends anyone could ask for. I

hope you are just as blessed.

Thanksgiving at our house is always a wonderful event. We host 25 to 30 for dinner and

everyone sits at long tables on our patio. The tables are set with the good linens, china

and silver. Before digging in to all the goodies (especially my husband’s famous deep

fried turkeys), we pause for a moment and go around the table and have each person tell

what they are thankful for. Sometimes it’s a low golf score, a world series win, or great

test scores. And, always, everyone is thankful for family. That one word is what binds us

all together. What traditions do you have in your family?? No matter if large or small,

traditions are what make the memories so special.

This month we will vote for the Outstanding Member of the Year and announce that per-

son at our December meeting. Please be sure to cast your ballot when you sign in at the

membership table.

Happy Stitching,

Marie

LOST AND FOUND

November Workshop

Orphans and Aliens with

Leah Zieber, Thursday, November 15, 2018

I am very excited to have Leah Zieber joining us for our last workshop of the year. Leah will be teaching us how to use up all those left over blocks, groups of blocks, tester blocks, border pieces or any other UFO pieces you have sit-ting around in our sewing room. It’s a great opportunity to bring all your odds and ends to the workshop and get inspired to use them. Please join us for a fun day with fellow quilters. I can’t think of a better way to spend the day, playing with fabric and enjoying the benefits of belonging to a wonderful guild. Please take the time to check out the supply list that is listed on our website to get inspired to join us. Workshop Chair: Robin Gallagher, [email protected]

Philanthropy Thank you Quilters. At our October meeting we took in 21 quilts that went

straight to St. Joseph’s Cancer Center and 17 quilts that we are storing for the

kids. We also gathered 47 pillowcases. And best of all, 14 of you took

“sandwiches” to quilt for us! Thank you so much.

Susan G Komen for the Cure

I want to personally thank our Guild for its awesome support of

our efforts to fundraise for Komen. You never fail to amaze me

with your commitment to help in any way that you can. The

quilt Summer Stars made and donated by Darci Bodin was won

by Kathleen Jack. She wasn’t present when the ticket was

drawn, but she subsequently came to my house to get it.

Again, thanks a million, Barbara Purks

Sew Day Please join us on November 8 for the final sew day of the year at Driftwood Mo-

bile Home Park. You can bring your machine and stitch, or use our cutting tools

to cut quilt kits or pillowcase kits. Sew Day starts about 9:30am and finishes up around 2:30 pm.

We will be celebrating a successful year of accomplishments.

There will be a break for a bring-your-own lunch at noon.

We will provide dessert to thank everyone for their generous efforts on behalf of

philanthropy.

2019 Luncheon & Home/

Sewing Room Tour

Perfectly Peachy June 22, 2019

The first committee meeting went very well. Although we only had a

few ladies attend, we accomplished lots. We are still in need of a few

helpers – centerpieces and docent coordinator. These are pretty easy

jobs. We know what the centerpieces will be and whoever takes charge

will have a relatively easy job on the day of the event. Docent coordina-

tor is needed to make sure we have enough “helpers” at each home.

We have increased the number of tickets to 350 this time and are keep-

ing the price the same as 2017 -- $45.00. Tickets will go on sale at ei-

ther the February or March guild meeting. This time groups will be able

to reserve a table of ten by purchasing all the tickets at one time with

one check. Credit cards will also be accepted.

The next committee meeting is Monday, October 29 at Marie Blash’s

home. Come join us!!

2019 Opportunity Quilt

We want to thank everyone involved in completing the 2019 opportunity Quilt. The pattern

“Cardinals in the Pines” by Gathering Friends and the print fabrics from the associated Car-

dinal Season fabric were donated by a friend of the guild, Sue Salinger. A group of five guild

members worked on piecing, Sue Stanley, Mary Burger, Lois Gallagher, Julie Carmen and

Robin Gallagher. Cecilia Hosford did an incredible job finding ways to make the quilting

pop among all the prints and Carol Logue attached the binding. We are all very proud of the

result and are looking forward to the quilt being a very successful fundraiser next year.

WAYS AND MEANS – BASKETS

Looks like some of you are doing “end of the year cleaning” of your quilting supplies! Good

for you and good for us! Thank you all for the many donations. Makes filling the baskets easier

and more fun when there are choices.

I know the following paragraph was in last months Newsletter but I think it bears repeating:

Would like to give a special “shout out” to our faithful members who support us every month!

You are the backbone of our success that in turn, makes every Guild member a “winner”

through the various programs that are offered. Well done!!! ( it makes composing this article

easier)

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.

Reflection: Kindness costs nothing and the rewards are immeasurable!

Hoping to see you at our table in November.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
