Speakers & Workshops
July 2018 (Community Center Auditorium, Camarillo)
Mike McNaman http://www.macquilts.com/index.html
July 10 ~ Talk “ Humor Meaning Metaphor”
“My lectures are of my quilts, my influences in quilt-making,
why and how I make my quilts. It is a trunk show and I bring
a raft of quilts for people to see, touch, inspect, and take a
nap under, if it comes to that. The lecture is about one hour
(longer if napping happens).”
“Quilt-making gives me that outlet to make poetic
statements. Sometimes it's simply a way to provoke a
question, such as: "Why is that pig in that quilt?" and the
response is: "I date my quilts by the year of the Asian animal
– made in the Year of the Pig." I may include
other literary elements: puns, metaphors, riddles, personal
history, rebuses, and plain ole jokes - do you know the joke
about the three-legged pig? Ask me.”
July 11 ~ Workshop - “I like to re-invent blocks or give them a
new setting, such as Double Wedding Ring, Sunbonnet Sue, Pickle Dish,
Drunkard's Path, Broken Dishes, Sunrays, to name a few. I don't care
as much about color as I do value - I like the idea of the eye flickering
as it goes across the plain of the quilt.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the left over books from
our quilt show boutique? Read on....
A box of general craft books, remaining from our quilt show, was recently donated to the
Oxnard Friends of the Library to help in their effort in pulling together an in-house library
for a local senior apartment complex. They had a special request for craft books and CQA
was able to fill their needs!
Both the Oxnard Friends of the Library and the Press Courier Senior Apartments extend
their sincerest THANKS. They were thrilled to receive the donation.

A Thank You Letter from a Quilt Show Attendee…………
“ I went to your Camarillo Guild quilt show this last Saturday and paid $5 for 6 raffle tickets. I put 2 tickets
into 3 different baskets from the choices on the table. I and my friends left the show for lunch out together before heading north to get home in Carpinteria and Santa Barbara.
A phone message was waiting for me when I arrived home. Lucky me, my ticket was drawn! I wasn't sure
which of the 3 baskets which I'd put tickets into was my win.
After picking up the basket, I waited until my weekly "Craft Day" with my friends, to open the basket with
them watching to share the excitement with me. It was so much fun, everything in it is nice and something I'll
use. We girls figured it is all worth about $200!
I've been happy for days knowing how lucky I was to have my one of my tickets drawn. Thank you
Camarillo guild for putting together such a special basket. Your show was wonderful, so much to see with
quality workmanship.”
Sincerely, Carol

“It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor, Would you be mine?”
This is the theme of this year’s Block of the Month program. “Will you be my neighbor?” We
will be making “house” blocks through the year.
Each block will be in a 12”x12” finished square. The background fabric will be provided by
the guild. This is so that you can easily finish the quilt at the end of the program into your own
personal creation. We hope you will find your creative self in these patterns and use your
imagination to embellish them.
The patterns are designed for the beginner to the advanced quilter. So don’t be discouraged or
bored with the patterns. They change every month and will be different! You will be able to
access the patterns and print them from home when you go the CQA Website. (directions for
printing from home are available at the BOM table)
Murielle O’Brien and I will be happy to help you on your journey as you build your
neighborhood. Feel free to contact us.
“Please won’t you be our neighbor?”
