Noted Quilter Anita Shackelford Will Speak at
November Meeting
Anita Shackelford has been a
quiltmaker since 1967 and began teaching in 1980. She is an internationally recognized teacher and lecturer
who loves combining appliqué and fine
hand quilting to create new quilts in
19th century style. She also enjoys using her sewing machine for many parts
of the creative process and has recently added long arm quilting to
the mix.
Anita has been featured on several television programs, including Today’s American Quilter, Kaye’s Quilting Friends, Linda’s
Electric Quilters, and Simply Quilts. Her work and antique quilts
from her collection have been featured in several gallery and museum
exhibits. Her quilts have been published in many magazines and she
is the author of several books, most recently, A Modern Mix published by AQS. Anita will be showing us her quilts and speaking
about designing an album quilt.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
What an amazing
year it has been. It is
hard to believe, but
this month our
Patchwork of Quilts
show has come full
circle. The energy
and creativity expended from our
membership has
been outstanding.
How fortunate we
are to enjoy working
with each other and
contributing to our
show’s success. I am
grateful to be able to
work with such a
wonderful group of
ladies with wide and
varied talents.
When we meet
again at our November guild meeting,
each member will be
given a ballot when
you sign in at the
door. Please take a
moment to cast your
vote for Outstanding
Member of the Year
for 2010.
Our Nominating
Committee chair,
Shirley Ellsworth,
presented the 2011
Slate of Officers at our
October guild meeting. They are: Bonnie
Lippincott for President, Susan Johnson
for First Vice President, Karen Powel
for Second Vice
President, Nancy
Post for Secretary
and Pat Kritlow for
Treasurer. Elections
take place at our November guild meeting.
The Road to California Bus Trip is half
full. We would love to
have you join us. If
you are interested,
make sure to pay a
visit to Eva Jamar
and Joan Groff at the
November meeting to
reserve your place on
the bus. The $27.50
fee includes round trip
bus fare, ticket entry
for Road, water and

Penny Soldin
continues to hand out
the Membership renewal forms at our
guild meetings as
well as printing it in
the current newsletter. If you haven’t
already filled in your
form, please do so
and help Penny get
ahead before the
holidays.
On the subject of
holidays, soon it will
be Thanksgiving---a
uniquely American
holiday. I suspect
there are lots of Tom
Turkeys out there
soon to grace many a
table for the Thanksgiving feast. I wish
everyone the bounty
of peace, love and
gratefulness at
Thanksgiving and
throughout the year.
I thank each of
you for the support
and friendship you
have given me.

FROM THE
GREEN QUILTING
QUEEN:
―I sew my quilt label to a used dryer
sheet. I sew it fronts
together and sew
all the way around
the label. I then
slit the dryer
sheet about 1" in
the center of the
sheet, just enough
room to turn it
right-side out. I
then press it, so I
have a nice crisp
edge to hand-sew
or appliqué to the
back of the
quilt. The used
dryer sheet also
smells real good
every time you wash
THE OGQG Wishes you and your family a
wonderful holiday! We are thankful for
our mutual friendships and your unwavering support for our Guild.

NOVEMBER WORKSHOP: ANITA SCHACKELFORD-
Shackelford to Teach 3D Appliqué
Marking
Magician
Speaks….
“When trying to figure out a quilting
design to put on my
block. I bought a
large clear piece of
plastic to draw on
and I use a non–
permanent marker
to draw my design
idea. I can see what
my quilting design
will look like that
way. If I don't like
it I just wipe off and
start again. This
works really well for
borders, and helps
you figure how to
handle those pesky
corner spots!‖
Ellen Roman’s Felted
Wool Notions Case had
us hopping like bunnies
last month. The variety of
colors and design choices
made everyone smile.
Thank you Ellen for sharing your creativity with
us! November will be
our last workshop of the
year. Can’t believe it!
Guess when you are having fun, time flies. Anita
Schackelford will be here
to teach her 3D appliqué.
Participants will be filling a vase with dimensional flowers in the style
of the Follet House album quilt. It should be an
exciting workshop.
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

Komen For the Cure Update
The Tree made by Mary O'Driscoll was won by Andrew Alvarado of Santa Ana. He was kind of in
shock. Maybe he's never won anything before! Special thanks to our Guild members, etc. who made donations to our Quilt Guild team. They are: Ruth Cox, Pat Essington, Sally Flatebo, Linda Gotthard, Carol
Howerton, Norma Millett, Joyce Oberle, Joann Schaum, Judi Smith, Bill Soldin, Betty Winek. Also donating to us was L A County Quilters Guild and some from Surfside Quilters Guild. Our team raised a total of
$1,055.
I'm still collecting Yoplait pink lids. Remember they must have been purchased in 2010 for them to
count. I'll be collecting them through our December guild meeting. If you'd prefer to mail them to me, that'll
be terrific.
Our fundraiser for this month were the state flowers created by Northcott fabrics. The winner was Nancy
Post.
I continue to be humbled by our Guild's support of the issue of breast cancer awareness and education. It
is my hope that some day we will see an end to this terrible disease.

Matchy says:
―When trying to
purchase matching and blending fabrics for a
project in the design stage, you
can photocopy or
scan swatches of
your existing
fabrics on a color
copier (Make
sure the ink wells
are full and colors accurate)
and keep the
page(s) folded
neatly in your
purse. You never
know when you
will be passing a
quilt shop—
providing a perfect excuse to
stop!‖ (As if we
need an excuse!)
