**********HOSPITALITY ALERT************
“Holiday Soiree or Eat, Drink and be Merry”
Yes, it’s most members favorite time of the Guild year, the Holiday Event or as I
prefer to say the “Holiday Soiree”. Mary Mulcahey has worked so diligently to make
her home like an episode of HOARDERS so the rest of us can have an awesome time
finding those perfect swatches/scraps/bolts of that famous designer line called, “I
Don’t Want It You Can Have It” and accessories that would make Tiffany’s jealous
(step away from the buttons). We of course have fabulous vendors and last BUT NOT
LEAST, the Spectacular Buffet of Decadent Desserts and Audacious Appetizers. I
know many of you snickered when I mentioned Betty Crocker, Martha Stewart and
Trader Joes but I received a nasty email from the Pillsbury Dough Boy for the snub
and I assured him his products would be represented.
Seriously, there are a few ground rules to alleviate the frenzy at the buffet:
1. Please have the item “staged”, PRESENTATION is up to you (make it pretty-think
impress your mother-in-law or better yet yourself)
2. IF you want your DISH/UTENSIL returned LABEL IT! Pretty please Pickup said dish
/utensil they’d miss you
3. PRESLICE the Cake, pie, quiche, cheeses … (unless it’s cheesecake, and then it
doesn’t need to be sliced, just hand me a fork!)
The guild has been divided into groups by last names:
A-L ~ AUDACIOUS APPETIZERS
M-Z ~ DECADENT DESSERTS
BCQG BOARD ~ BLISSFUL BEVERAGES (non-alcoholic)
Think Tea Time on an elegant cruise ship like the Queen Mary in her heyday (not the
Titanic as she sank) or your best tea party with your teddy or doll.
Thanks, Jan & Jackie JAN’S CORRECT PHONE NUMBER IS 949.300.4145
The holidays are upon us! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with
family and friends. But now it is December and I don’t want to press, but how
are those holiday quilt projects coming along? There are some among us, who
shall remain anonymous, who picked out their projects last January,
completed everything by July and have already wrapped them for gifts or they
are part of their beautiful home décor. We still love these friends, but maybe
just don’t want to talk to them right now.
Our December Gala meeting might be just the place to help you find a holiday
project. Our annual Rummage Sale will begin at 5:30 p.m. this year to
accommodate your treasure huntingJ; and our 5 vendors will be
demonstrating their best projects and their merchandise will be for sale. Our
vendors are: Cozy Quilts, Flying Geese, Moore’s, Monica’s Beads and Quilts and
Fat Quarters.
Wasn’t David Taylor’s presentation terrific? What an amazing talent too. We
have some more exciting teachers coming up this year. In January, we have
Lisa Bongean from Primitive Gatherings and in February we have our own
Grace Errea! Sherri Peltier has listed all of the upcoming speakers in this
newsletter.
To make it easier for everyone to attend the workshops of these fabulous
teachers, we are now able to accept credit and debit cards at the Workshop
Table during the general meetings. You can sign up for classes up to three
months out. Give yourself a little gift of a class for the new year.
Happy Holidays Everyone, I look forward to seeing you all on December 10th

2016 QUILT SHOW
The Quilt Show is fast approaching and we have a lot to do before June 4, 2016.
QUILT SHOW ENTRIES: The entry forms are in this newsletter, and will again be in the
January and February newsletters. You will need to complete 1 form for each entry. The
forms are due by March 1st. Your quilt must be finished for delivery at the end of May.
If you have any questions, please contact Marian Mapes www.mmapes1231@aol.com.
VOLUNTEERS: It takes a village of members to fill all of the volunteer positions needed
to make sure our quilt show runs smoothly. Beginning in January, there will be sign-up
sheets at the Quilt Show table. There are sit-down positions available if you are unable
to stand for a volunteer position. Please make sure you check your calendar, and sign up
(we would love for you to sign up for more than one position during the 2-day show). If
you have any questions, please contact Janet Cowart www.janet@cowart.net.
TRAVELING OPPORTUNITY QUILT: We have quite a few guilds, quilt shows, quilter’s
runs and private group meetings that the Opportunity Quilt is traveling to from January to
May. This gives us a chance to sell raffle tickets for the quilt as well as getting the
information out regarding our Quilt Show. If you have some time and would like to take
the quilt (it is a fun experience) please contact Pat Pardoen www.ppardoen@cox.net.
ADMISSIONS: The sale of admission bracelets has begun. The cost of admission is $10.
These tickets can be purchased prior to the show at the quilt show table. If you are
unable to attend our general meetings and would like to purchase your bracelet and any
others for gifts, please contact Anne Tracy www.atracy@cox.net.
AUCTION: Our Saturday auction is exciting and all of the beautiful quilts are donated!!!
The auction is a major source of income at the quilt show. Once again this year we will
be accepting credit cards for purchases at the auction. If you have an item you would
like to donate, please contact Mary Arntz www.darntz@flash.net.
RAFFLE BASKETS: Everyone loves to win a raffle basket, and we are starting to
collect the completed baskets as well as other “new” donations to put in baskets. Please
talk with you friendship group about making a basket. You can always make a basket
yourself, or donate NEW quilt items and fabric that we can assemble into a basket. If you
have any questions please contact Candy Crain www.kandis55@gmail.com.
VENDORS: We will be having 34-36 vendors at our show that will be selling everything
quilt – and some non-quilt related items. We have almost 100 prospects and the responses
are coming in. Remember the Chocolate lady? Yum !!! If you know of a vendor who may
like to join us, please contact Sara Slygh www.sara-s@cox.net.
OPPORTUNITY QUILT: WOW!!! It’s the best word to describe our beautiful opportunity
quilt “Star Struck”. The biggest fundraising we do at the quilt show is the opportunity quilt.
The tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5. BCQG asks all members to take $30 worth of tickets
(that’s 36 tickets) and either buy them yourself or sell them to friends and family. You are
more than welcome to sell more than 1 packet. There will be 5 monthly prizes beginning in
February for members who have turned in their $30. Your name will be eligible for the
monthly drawings thru May. The sooner you turn in you money, the more chances you have
to win. Once you win, your winning drawing ticket will be taken out. So sell more, and get
your name in there multiple times. If you haven’t gotten you packet of tickets when you
checked in at the meetings, we will have them at the quilt show table. If you would like
additional tickets and can’t get to the meetings, please contact Gail Brunell
www.gailtbrunell@gmail.com.
Thank you for all of your support with the 2016 Quilt Show.
If you have any questions about the Quilt Show, please contact Sandy Corbin or Marianne
Cunningham, the Quilt Show Co-Chairs. www.sandycquilts@aol.com

2016 Quilt Show - Entry Forms
Hi, I’m Marian Mapes and I coordinate the layout for the quilt show.
We always have a fabulous show because we have the most fabulous quilts and
members!
We’d like at least one quilt or entry from every member. We know you all have
something from a class or workshop, or block of the month. Or maybe something you
made as a special present that you can borrow back. We try to display around 400
items, so that means everyone’s participation.
Entry forms and instructions will be back at the Opportunity quilt table, on the
website, and will be in the Dec, Jan, and Feb Newsletters. The quilts don’t have to
be done, but the forms are due to me by March 1. Bring them to the next meeting or
mail them to me at the address on the form. I’ll have a box in the back of the room
next month to collect the entry forms. Fill it out now, before you forget. You can
enter as many items as you like and we’ll see what we can hang. Make sure to
include a picture or drawing, and some fabric swatches. These help in how we place
the items in the show. Please remember to sign the back of the form.
If you have any questions, my email is on the form and my number is in the roster.
Thank you in advance for your participation!

Workshops
All workshops occur the Friday and Saturday (if offered) after our general meeting. They are held
at Community Presbyterian Church, 32202 Del Obispo St, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675, from 104.
BCQG workshops are $40.00 per day. Registration for workshops begins three months prior to the

class fee is non-refundable.
In January, Lisa Bongean
of Primitive Gatherings,
will be presenting the
workshops on January
15th and 16th. Lisa
Bongean of Primitive
Gatherings, specializes in
wool applique
embellished with
beautiful and creative
embroidery stitches. Lisa
will teach two different,
one day workshops. On
Friday she will teach
Home Grown and on
Saturday she will teach
Geranium Tablemat. Join
your friends for a fun day learning new techniques for beautiful
handwork.
The February workshop,
“Intro to Heat Set Machine
Applique”, will be presented
by BCQG member Grace Errea.
(www.amazingquiltsbygrace.com) Grace’s art focuses on the
depiction of inspiring scenes in a “value-based”,
contemporary-realistic manner. Her focus on value makes it
easy for her students to create inspiring botanicals, landscape
scenes and portraits in any color. In this class, the student
will learn a “no fray”, raw edge applique technique, using one
of Grace’s patterns. Mark your calendar and join Grace for a
fun, informative workshop!

here! Doors for the sale will open at 5:30 to

New Friendship Group Forming:
Jan Johnson and Candy Crain would like to
form a group or two small groups that will be
project based…day and/or evening.
The first thing we thought would be fun is to
make a bag. I have several patterns and
books that we can choose from so I’m sure
you can find one you like. If there is
anything in particular that you want to work
on, please let one of know. I’m pretty
flexible as to availability and will start out
meeting at my house unless we outgrow it.
Request: Please donate
your vases to the guild.
The type of vases we are
looking for are 11" or so
tall that looks like the
picture. Please give them
to Sandy Corbin or
Kathleen Walker. These
will be used as a
fundraiser for the guild.
Thanks, Sandy and
Kathleen
