October 2011
Greetings from Gladys
I hope that all of you are
doing well. I am still trying
to recuperate from my trip to
New York City and Murfreesboro, Tennessee. I had
a wonderful time in New
York--did a little shopping-can you go to New York and
not shop? I am glad that I
took a couple of pairs of
tennis shoes with me, because I did a lot of walking.
I walked through Central
Park a couple of days and
thought about scenes that
appeared in episodes of Law
& Order. I also saw the
"memorial" to John Lennon
which reads IMAGINE--it is
in an area of Central Park
known as "Strawberry
Fields." I spent too many
days walking on 5th Avenue-I was trying to keep my
purse close because there are
too many goodies.
I was in New York with
my two sons, a son's girlfriend, and a friend from
Philadelphia. We did the
touristy things--Statue of
Liberty, Ellis Island, Rockefeller Center, and so on and
so forth. The visit to
Ground Zero and my visits
to St. Patrick's Cathedral
proved to be a bit emotional
for me. My older son celebrated his 32nd birthday
while we were there--we all
had dinner and then went to
a place called Serendipity (it
has been on the Food Network) and had some outrageous ice cream treats. I had
something called Frozen Hot
Chocolate--I would not mind
having one right now.
After almost six days
there, I flew to Nashville and
spent four days with my
niece and her family in Murfreesboro. The pace was
definitely different--it was
nice to slow down a bit.
What I saw of Tennesseee is
beautiful--nice and green-rolling hills with a few trees
starting to change color. I
went to the Stones River
National Battlefield--a part
of the Civil War. I also visited a cemetery where some
soldiers from the battle, as well
as other battles, are buried. As
we pulled into the parking lot,
I was reminded of Arlington
Cemetery.
I spoke with Valerie and she
said that the September program with Karen Boutte was
quite enjoyable. I am sorry
that I missed it--I remember
her from the Meet the Teachers that I attended.
I hope that all of you have a
great month--I do not know
about you, but I love this
month--Halloween candy
(always an excuse to have
candy). Be safe!

Programs and Speakers
Wasn’t Karen Boutte` a
kick? We enjoyed her at
dinner where she shared
with us that her very supportive husband was her
CEO (Carries Everything
Out). Remember that tip
the next time you are looking for someone to load
your quilting supplies into
your vehicle for a retreat or
class. She certainly can
work a crowd, getting everyone into the act with the
“diva struts” and beautiful
African American quilts and
clothing.
At the October 26 meeting,
Laurel Anderson will tell us
how to “Search for the Perfect Applique`.” Her work
can be found at http://
www.whispercolor.com/.
It sounds like our great
Christmas committee will
once again wow us with
food, fun, music, games and
prizes at the annual Christmas dinner on December 7.
We will be at Whitaker Hall
so look for the particulars
on this event elsewhere in
this newsletter.
will give her lecture and
trunk show. The following
day she will teach a small
wool project workshop,
entitled Tulip Baskets. A kit
fee of $18 will be required
before the class to complete
the 8”x18” project, and we
hope to have the sample at
the October meeting. If
you have wanted to try your
hand at working with wool,
this is the lady to teach us.
Lisa’s blog can be found at
http://
lisabongean.wordpress.com/.
Linda Ballard will start off
the new year again with a
mystery class on January 67, 2012. Signups have begun and cutting instructions
will be available at the October meeting.
On February 29, 2012, Rana
Heredia from Atascadero
will give us a trunk show of
her wonderful quilts entitled
“Scrap Quilting: The Art of
At the January meeting, Lisa
Bonjean from Primitive
Gatherings in Wisconsin
Making Do”. We met Rana
at Meet the Teachers this year
and she professes to have
over 100 quilts in her personal collection of quilts,
ranging from vintage to modern, and traditional to funky.
I found Rana’s blog at
http://piecesofranaslife.blogs
pot.com.
March will bring us to our
annual wrap-up meeting for
the quilt show; April we will
host Nancy Chong with a
lecture and workshop; in May
we will hear Merle Axelrod
Serlin lecture on “Art and
Fear”; and in June, Jenny
Lyons will lecture and give us
a machine quilting workshop.

We had 18 quilts turned in at the
September 28th meeting. Thank
you to Beryl Burtis, Willie Miller,
Rose Wood, June Muncy (who
turned in 10 quilts and won the
gift), Marilyn Likes and Sharon

added to our growing number of

ceived wonderful quilts and
tops from the members.
We appreciate any and all of
your donations to Community
Service whether it is a small
quilt, large quilt or something
in between. They can be just
tops ready to be quilted or
completed quilts. Community
Service has some kits for your
convenience to make quilts,
totes for Shriners, fabric or
batting. Just let us know what
you need. We find that most
quilts donated are made from
your "stash" and we have re-

Remember the date of October 22 for MADD. Lisa
Lundin is heading up that
event and has a goal of 150
quilts. She had bags of fabric
available at the meeting which
members took to make a quilt
for MADD. This is an important event for our quilt guild

Basket Raffle Fund Drive
As many of you are well
aware, the Basket Raffle is an
integral part our annual quilt
show every March. We rely
on donations from many vendors to make our baskets a
success.
The wonderful staff at Sunsweet Gift Outlet takes all
those donated items and prepares the beautiful baskets for
us. Due to their exquisite at-
tention to detail, the baskets
virtually sell themselves.
for $5 each to contribute to
purchasing more wonderful
items to put in the 2012 baskets. This campaign will continue through October.
Unfortunately, the number of
items donated by the solicited
vendors has dropped dramatically. So, to beef up the basket
contents and make them more
appealing, we have instituted a
Basket Raffle Fund Drive.
For every ticket you buy, your
name goes on the back and will
be eligible for winning exciting
goodies at our Christmas party
on December! The remaining
funds will happily be spent for
quality items to put in the bas-
You may have seen me with
my little sign at the monthly
guild meetings, selling tickets
kets. Cathy Evans has generously agreed to purchase the
items wholesale.
The raffle baskets at next year’s
quilt show promise to be more
opulent than ever before. Please
consider contributing to this
worthwhile fund drive for Valley
Quilt Guild.

The Girlfriends Dinner
A group of 15-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet for dinner. Finally, they agreed to meet at the Dairy Queen next
to the Ocean View restaurant because they had only $6.00 among them and Jimmy Johnson, the cute boy in Social Studies
lived on that street.
10 years later, the group of 25-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet for dinner. Finally, they agreed to meet at the
Ocean View restaurant because the beer was cheap, the restaurant offered free snacks, the band was good, there was no
cover and there were lots of cute guys.
10 years later, the group of 35-year-old girlfriends discussed where to meet for dinner. Finally, they agreed to meet at the
Ocean View restaurant because the Cosmos were good, it was right near the gym and, if they went late enough, there wouldn't be too many whiny little kids.
