PRESIDENT’S CORNER
Odette Osantowski odetteoo@cox.net 949-412-4988
July isn’t all about barbeques and fireworks. It’s also about freedom,
liberty and being thankful to those in uniform serving today and in the
past; we honor them. Be proud to be an American and wave your flag.
Did you know that July 2nd is “World UFO Day”? Oh, I think they mean
Unidentified Flying Object. Well, I don’t know about you but sometimes
my project is unidentifiable and I would like to send it flying out the door!
So invite your friends over and have a party----get some of your UFO’s
done!
Mary Tabar, our speaker this month, will present a workshop on “Water
Color Strip” quilt that should be quick and easy to complete. UFO party
here we come.
Odette Osantowski
Mary Mulcahey has ready the first block to sew in the “Mystery Quilt”. Last month she gave us the
information on the amount of fabric we would need for the whole year. Stop by her table to pick up
the next installment to this MYSTERY.

Wondering about sizes for Philanthropy and
Wounded Warrior quilts?
These are not EXACT sizes, just
guidelines. Any size is accepted; if you want to
donate a double size quilt the
committee will find a home for it!
Baby 36”x54”
Afghan/Lap 54”x72”
Twin 54”x90”
In order to fit on the gurneys the Wounded Warrior quilts need
to be 48"x78" (or close).

MONTHLY MINI
Becky McDaniel homekybeky@sbcglobal.net 949-362-9911
The July Monthly Mini, “Aloha Keiki”, was made by our Surfside President Odette Osantowski. The design
was inspired by a Lisa Boyer pattern. This little quilt measures 15”x11.5” and is beautifully embellished with
seashells, flowers, oar, sunglasses and thongs. This whimsical wall hanging will look great in your home!
This patriotic quilt was the Monthly Mini for June. Made by
Katy Lillie, the quilt was won by Barbara Ann Christensen.
“Suzanne’s Roses” made by Kayley Rose. Her friend
lives in a Carmel cottage and loves Shabby Chic décor; her house is full of fairies & flowers. She gave
Kayley some fabric to make a new twin bed comforter.
Kayley decided on 9” blocks to preserve the fabric design her friend loves and to give space for appliqué
and 9-patch with the alternating blocks. Suzanne
received her quilt when she turned 65 in June.
Kaylee Rose also showed “Carrie’s Garden” made to
celebrate Carrie’s 70th birthday. She suffers periods of
chronic fatigue and one of her passions is gardening,
so Kayley made this riotous garden quilt with vibrant
Kaffe Fassett fabrics full of flower pleasure and healing.
This was a surprise gift at the Carmel birthday party.

“Man in the Moon” Lynn Tweet made this in a
class given by Jean Impey in 2011 (she thinks).
Jean has all the different alphabet patterns that students can trace and color with special pens. It is
quite a procedure that is really interesting and fun.
This is the letter “M”. Lynn hopes to do another of
these little quilts and possibly take a class again.
They are hung with a ruler placed under triangles
sewn on the back.
Kathy Chevalier showed a quilt she started in
Jean Impey’s quilt-as-you-go class and was made
with a jelly roll. The jacket was also made in a
Jean Impey class.
Sue Richardson started this Spider Web quilt in one of
Jean Impey’s classes at Sewing Party several years ago.
The top has been finished for quite a while and is now in
the pile of tops waiting to be quilted. This is the first foundation pieced quilt that Sue has made and doesn’t think it
will be the last. They are addicting.
Joann Bishop presented this “Tee Shirt Quilt”, a graduation gift for
her granddaughter, Emma Lee, who graduated from high school.
She has played softball since she was 8 years old, been on the
travel teams and plays in high school. This is a dorm twin size
bed quilt, batted with wool and backed with flannel to keep her
warm at college in Rhode Island. Quilted by Cosmic Quilting.
So many memories.

As I announced at the meeting I am still in business,
so please return the finished blocks at the July meeting; I have none to work with. I will continue to make
and ship the quilts with Jon, but at a slower
pace. There is a need and the quilts are going to the
places where our troops are fighting as advisors, so
please return them to me. I am going to try to get out
a block for the meeting, but because of my personal
life right now I don’t know if I will have the time. I will
be having a Wounded Warrior meeting on the first
Tuesday as usual for those who can attend.

“Grady’s Graduation Quilt” presented by Cathie Opila.
Her family loves to quilt. Each time a niece or nephew
graduates from high school they get together and make
a strip quilt. Each sister and sister-in-law makes a strip.
There are eight of them! This quilt will go to nephew,
Grady, who graduated in June. He likes surfing and
fishing. He is going to college at UC Santa Cruz.
Becky McDaniel showed “Cottaqe Charm”. Started in
2007 as a hand appliqué project when she needed
hand work to do. It kept getting pushed aside as 4 of
her 5 kids got married and then came the need for
baby quilts. This is her year to finish UFOs and this is
the first. She almost scrapped it, but is so glad she
finished it. She loves the cozy feel of this one.
Diane Collins shared four
projects from Jean Impey’s
classes. Diane says, “I will
take a Jean Impey class
whenever I can. I always
learn something new: a new
tool, a new technique. But
most important her projects are fun and do-able. You leave class with a
project you can finish. There are a few samples of things I have made in
her classes. They make great gifts.”

SHOW & TELL Vickie Janis 2010vickie@gmail.com 949-842-6089
Joan Orris joanorris@cox.net
Great job ladies! I think Jean Impey was pleased with our Show and Tell with SO many of
her quilt designs being shown. Thank you all! There were 17 ladies showing 27 quilts.
It’s July, we celebrate our nation’s birth and kick off summer (if the June Gloom goes
away). Looking forward to seeing all of your current works of art. You can get the show
and tell form online at Surfside Quilters Guild/Forms & Bylaws/Other Forms/Show & Tell
Form. OR just write out the information on a piece of paper before the meeting and give it
to Joan Orris or me. We will give you a number; line up after the break with your quilt in
numerical order. Del asks that you stand still with your quilt for 30 seconds so she can
take a photo of you and your quilt. Hope to see you there! By the way, NO SHOW AND
TELL IN AUGUST. Be sure to finish your Challenge entries!

FRIENDSHIP GROUPS
Monica Shafer immshafer@yahoo.com 949-362-5524
You may ask yourself why you should join a friendship group. In my opinion, there’s nothing better
than being with people who share your passion. Creativity flourishes and ideas spark. People find
they bring out the best talents in each other and productivity increases. While spending time
working together, stories are shared and friendships form. These things take too long to happen
during a guild meeting where the focus is on the business of the guild, the committee reports, and
the speaker’s presentation.
Surfside offers a number of opportunities for joining friendship groups. Three
groups currently have openings and are looking for new friends. One is the
Woolies group whose members love Primitive Gatherings-type patterns and
working with wool. A second group is mainly interested in friendships and
general quilting. A third group had members move away, so they are looking
for some fresh faces to join them.
If you’re interested in any of these groups, or maybe starting one of your own,
let me know.
Betty Collins showed this small
quilt of the Surfside logo that she
made in a class with Jan Hirth.

Block-of-the-Month Mystery Quilt Mary Mulcahey mmul19@aol.com 949-951-2066
Finished size: 54” X 74” with borders
This mystery quilt is simple in construction and becomes a striking
quilt when strongly contrasting fabrics are used. The construction
consists of easy, straight-line sewing and is a breeze to put together.
The quilt works best with only 3 fabrics, but you can choose to do
several different focus (C) fabrics. They should be interesting prints
that are of similar color and value. Your background (A) should be a
dark solid or tone-on-tone and your accent fabric (B) should be a
solid or tone-on-tone that contrasts strongly with the background fabric. Your focus fabric also should contrast to both the background
and accent fabrics.
Fabric Requirements
Fabric A (background) 1 ½ yards
Fabric B (accent) 1 yard
Fabric C (focus) 1 yard or a total of 1 yard if you are using several different focus fabrics
1st border uses the B fabric and is included in the amount above
2nd border – 1 5/8 yards
Backing – 3 ½ yards
Binding – 5/8 yard
Cutting Instructions
Cut all of your fabric and put all of each size of each fabric together, either in baggies or clips, and label
them. This will make the construction of your blocks each month go very quickly. You also will need to label
your blocks with their numbers as you make them. This will make the final assembly a real snap.
Fabric A (background) Cut WOF (width of fabric) strips listed below, then sub cut as listed
Cut 8 – 2 ½ “ strips Cut 5 – 4 ½” strips Cut 1 – 6 ½” strip
6–2½x2½5–4½x4½1–8½x6½
8 – 4 ½ x 2 ½ 3 – 6 ½ x 4 ½ 1 – 10 ½ x 6 ½
9–6½x2½3–8½x4½3–6½x6½
5 – 8 ½ x 2 ½ 6 – 10 ½ x 4 ½
7 – 10 ½ x 2 ½ 1 – 16 ½ x 4 ½
1 – 12 ½ x 2 ½
2 – 14 ½ x 2 ½
1 – 18 ½ x 2 ½
Fabric B (accent)
Cut 4 – 2 ½ “ strips
6 – 2 ½ x 2 ½ ; 8 – 4 ½ x 2 ½ ; 5 – 6 ½ x 2 ½ ; 4 – 8 ½ x 2 ½ ; 4 – 10 ½ x 2 ½
Fabric C (focus)
From the focus fabric, you will need 14 squares; cut the bigger pieces first.
Three squares @ 10 1/2”
Five squares @ 8 1/2”
Six squares @ 6 1/2”

BOM Mystery Quilt 2015 July
Block 3
Mary Mulcahey mmul19@aol.com 949-951-2066
We are starting with Block 3, an easy block to get started on. Since we are not doing the blocks in
order, you will need to label your block when you finish it. This will be very important when it comes
time to assemble your quilt top. All of the block diagrams will have each piece marked with a number (the order in which they will be sewn together), a letter designating which fabric to put here
(refer to your cutting instructions) and the size of the piece.
You will be making this block in 2 sections, then putting the 2 sections together.
Section 1 – sew piece 1 to piece 2, pressing towards darker fabric (since there are no seams to
match, pressing direction doesn’t really matter)
Section 2 – Sew piece 3 to piece 4, then sew piece 5 to pieces 3 & 4, finally sew piece 6 to piece 5.
Complete your block by sewing section 1 to section 2 and labeling it “Block 3”.

Anna Turek showed this triptych of the “Garden Outside
Her Bay Window”. The garden attracts birds and insects.
The quilts have couched yarn, Tyvek, and other materials.
The flowers are all commercial fabric. The background is
hand-dyed. Anna says it was a lot of fun to make.
Odette Osantowski made “Home is Where My
Stash Is” for the Beach Cities Quilters Guild
Challenge and it won a ribbon. Odette says, “Every
sunrise is an invitation to fly the nest in search of
fabric, thread, patterns, and anything of quilting interest, be we always bring our stash home.”

“A Day at the Beach” by Betty Collins was a
Block-of-the-Month project.
Betty Collins also showed this green and white
piece from a small Accucut class at Eleanor
Burns Quilt-In-A-Day.
Chris Huben made these pillows in a class with Jean Impey
at the Sewing Party. The first tree she put the fusible on the
right side - after she made the pillow she decided to use the
other tree - wrong side facing! We sometimes profit from our
mistakes. Chris did the quilting herself.
Holders are Linda Ambrosini and Susie Russell.
Jan Hirth shared “Mason’s Menagerie”. Jan’s niece asked
for a jungle theme quilt for her newborn son. Jan saw Jean
Impey’s grandson’s quilt on Facebook and asked Jean if she
had a pattern. Jean told her it was her original design and
she was going to pattern it. Jan got the preliminary plans
from Jean and made the quilt. Mason, now 14 months old,
loves to look at the animals.

Barbara Seidel displayed “Jay’s Chocolate
Garden”. Jay’s T-shirt which reads “Will Work
For Chocolate”, and Jean Impey’s “My Secret
Garden” class inspired this quilt. Jean had a
funny look on her face when Barbara shared
her fabrics and the idea. Less than 15 seconds later, Jean embraced the concept and
was a tremendous motivator while also inspiring. Martha Hurlburt did the quilting and Barbara’s husband loves his Chocolate Garden.
“A Tisket-A-Tasket” was made by Pat Gates in a Jean Impey
class last year. She had a lot of fun making this quilt. She
says “You are only limited by your imagination.” She hopes to
make another basket quilt in the near future.
Angela Irish showed her “Spider Web” quilt started in
a Jean Impey class at Sewing Party. She decided to
change it up a bit by making the background kites
black and white.
Sharon Pembrook shared her “Baskets” quilt. She
received the pieced top over 20 years ago along with 5
others from her great-aunt who had them stored in a
trunk. This top was pieced by her great-grandmother in
Canistoga, S.D, around 1930. This type of quilt was
called a “farm quilt”. Sharon finds the use of shirting
materials and calicos quite interesting. The thread
used for the piecing is very strong, much stronger and
thicker than what we use today. Sharon quilted this on
her home sewing machine. She thanks her friendship
group, who helped her alter the top so that the baskets
floated on the pink calico. They also donated the grey
fabric for the binding.
