July 10 = “Forgotten Treasures” Indoor

Yard Sale

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”…maybe we should reword that to say “One quilter’s former stash is another quilter’s current treasure?” We’ll be selling fat quarters, yardage, miscellaneous quilting supplies, books, and patterns at very, very reduced prices. You might find that piece of fabric that you’ve been missing to complete that prize winning quilt you’ve been working on. We will also sell raffle tickets for numerous opportunity baskets and also have a few items available for silent auction.

Come support OCQG and join us on Tuesday July 10th at 7:00pm.

It should be a lot of fun.

President’s Article

Hello fellow quilters!

We had a great presentation by Sandy Klop, American Jane, at our June meeting. Wow, what

inspiring quilts! I was happy I could take the day off for her workshop (well, I attended half of

it before going to my nephew’s high school graduation); so much fun! Judy Dimmick

challenged us to have our quilts done by our October meeting – seems like a tight timeline for

me but I think some may have already finished!

I did finish a quilt in June but was not able to bring it for Sew & Tell because I had to deliver it

to Oregon when I went the weekend of June 2nd. So, I’m putting a picture of it here. I made it

for my quilting cousin Dena and her husband Dennis. They were married in June 2011 – but I

made it within a year of the wedding date so I’m happy! It is the “Lover’s Knot” pattern by

Quilt in a Day (it took more than a day!).

Be sure to join us in July for our general meeting:

Forgotten Treausres! There will be lots of bargains! Big

thank you to Pam Gayle for organizing this and thank you

also to the team that helped her make all of the

donations ready to sale! This is our fundraiser for this

year so please come and support your guild (this helps to

pay for our speakers!) and bring some friends! Admission

for non-members is only $5, as usual.

Get involved in your guild and let’s have a great 2012/2013!

Sandy Milo, President

Camp Watch-A-Patcher is coming July 7-11, 2013…Save the Dates

Camp has always been the most fun thing that I’ve gone to in our Guild. It’s four days of Friends, Fun,

Quilting, and more. And Vanguard University is a beautiful and flat venue to be at. You can stay all four

days, be a day camper, or just come to the evening programs. Start planning now to come. It’ll be here

before you know it.

Other dates to remember:
