Hello fellow quilters,
Well that was a fun and different meeting
last month. Thanks to all the teachers in the
round-a-bout quilt demo and to Shirley
McGuire for setting that up for us.
On to business. If you haven’t seen the opportunity quilt yet, it will be on display at our
March meeting. Brenda Moore will be sending
around a sign-up sheet of quilt guilds in the
area so if you want to show off our beautiful
opportunity quilt please sign up for the guild
of your choice or any other event. Brenda
Moore will be at the meeting to pass out more
tickets if needed and to collect the stubs to put
in the collection box. Our quilt show is coming
up fast and Sherry Smiley is putting the finishing touches on all the activities. Putting
the quilt show together is a major feat so if
you want to help please let Sherry know. Melody Cernitz is working on the next upcoming
elections so if you want to run for an office let
her know. We are still looking for a new program chair to take Shirley McGuire’s place.
Again the quilt show is just around the corner
so I hope you are putting the finishing touches
on your beautiful 2016 entries and filling out
those forms.
Looking forward to seeing you all,
Laurel Maloney
CVQG President

March 10th: Quilt in a Day w/ Eleanor Burns 10am-2pm. Initially we had planned to share an
outing with Kaleidoscope Guild to see Eleanor
Burns presentation on March 4th, but we were only
given 20 spaces. Since there was such a big demand
I have rescheduled so we could have our own date
and all 40-50 slots. Our new date is Thursday
March 10th 10-2. The price is still $20 to include a
lunch from Panera's. If you have any dietary requirements i.e. vegetarian or gluten free, let me
know. I have to send in our requirements 1 week in
advance. If this new date does not work for you and
you have already paid for your seat, I will refund at
the February meeting. If you didn't get a seat and
want one, see me at the February meeting with your
$20. We will carpool and leave around 9 am on
March 10th.
March: - speaker will feature Anelie Belden who
specializes in Modern Dresden Plates that are split,
spin and use Jelly Rolls (2 1/2" strips).
April: will feature award winning Linda Anderson,
who's award winning art quilts have been featured
in many juried quilt shows and quilting magazines.
May: Kaufman Challenge Road Show
June: Installation of Guild Officers and Pot Luck

Cuddle Quilts
2015 was a great year. Our quilters created the enormous total of 110 quilts. WOW!!!!!
Give yourselves a hand. Your quilts are comforting 15 vetrans at the Veterans Village; 11
patients at Fredericka Care Center; 15 are
with members of CAST; 15 mothers at Birthline; and 15 babies of Gently Hugged. All organizations here in Chula Vista.
We also extended our gifts to Door of Hope;
Polinski Children's Center; and Children's
Hospital.
We have a big jump on this year. We have
received 22 tops. We have lots of pre-cut kits;
plus lots of fabric and pre-cut squares thanks
to our friends who donated their stashes. If
you prefer to have larger pieces to start from,
let me know. I can definitely help you
out. There is also many larger pieces for backs
and binding. I currently have a bolt of batting
as well.
Keep on quilting, and thanks for all your
good work.

QUILT SHOW SIGN-UPS
The 2016 Quilt Show is just around the corner now! At the March meeting sign-up sheets
will be going around. Everyone’s assistance is needed to make this show a winning show!
With that said, there will be sign-ups for the following areas: Boutique, Opportunity
Quilts and Gift Basket Sales, White Glove, Up-Stair Monitor and Tickets at the
door. These positions are broken down for each day in time frames of 10-12, 12-2 and 2-4.
In addition to these positions, we will need someone to provide lunch on Friday and Saturday, not necessarily the same person and folks that can help with picking up the Show Supplies on Wednesday, March 18, Set up on Thursday, March 19 and taking Supplies back to Storage on March 21st
after the show.
We are also looking for anyone that may have a set of Walkie-Talkies that can be borrowed for the show.
This is your show ladies and I encourage all of you to participate in presenting our best to the public. Please be
prepared to sign up for one or better yet, several jobs. We need you!
If you know you will not be at the March meeting but know you can fill a position, please email me at: widowhouse@gmail.com. I will add you to the sheet!
And, don’t forget to submit your quilt entry forms by April 30. (see attached)
Thank You!
Time to Rev Up for the Boutique!
Hard to believe it, but it’s time to start making stuff for this year’s boutique! For our new members, these
are items that you can sell at the boutique booth at our May show. You make the item, tie or pin
on a cardboard price tag labelled with your boutique number and your price (write each one
100
twice on the tag, see the sample below), and bring it to the booth on show set-up day, Thursday
$3.00
19 May not later than 1000 am. (Please note that this year our guild meeting is not the
day before set-up, so you won’t be able to drop off your items at the meeting.) If you
100
can’t come by on set-up day, please give them to a friend to drop off.
Here’s an example of how your tag should look with your number and price written on it twice:
$3.00
At the end of the show, I’ll tote up all the figures. The guild will take 15% and you’ll get a check in about a week
for the remaining 85% of the price of all the items that you sold. Please, let’s restrict guild items to things that
you’ve made or jewelry, no white elephants! If we don’t have a white elephant booth this year, I will take fabric.
Here’s a current list of all the boutique numbers that are assigned. If you need a number, please e-mail me at
Kathryn.cadwell@sbcglobal.net.
