Quilt Show - Valley Quilt Guild
Yuba Sutter Valley Quilt Guild www.valleyquiltguild.com 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!

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/.

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/.

Muriel Van Middlesworth, Lisa Lundin and Donna Puchalski 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. Thank you. . .
