President’s Message: QUILTER’S QUOTE: “The Love of Quilting is Our Common Thread”….

The Beauty on the River Quilt Show was a

success because of each of you. Thank you to

Sharon Helton and Claudia Goebl for your

leadership in the planning and executing our 2018

Beauty on the River Quilt Show. Thank you to

the Quilt Show Committee who worked very hard

this past year to make things happen smoothly.

Thank you to Marla Vaughn, and the “Star Bright

Ladies” for designing and creating the fabulous

Opportunity Quilt. Thank you to Terri Russell,

Nancy Clayton and Mary Jane Sasek for a great

job in judging all the wonderful entries. Thank

you to our “Featured Quilter’s” Lynne Pillus and

Linda Person and to each member who shared

their creations with all of us and the community.

Thank you to all the volunteers, members

and nonmembers, who came and worked in the

setup, break down, judging room, boutique,

admissions, opportunity quilt and raffle basket

ticket sales, white gloves and every area that

needed your help during the show. Thank you to

the vendors for bringing new things for us to

purchases and add to our stashes.

I am so thankful for each member of our

guild for your teamwork, for the laughs, and for

making the community feel so “welcome”. The

comments from many attendees were very

positive and said, “It was the best show ever.”

Oroville Piecemakers Quilt Guild Thank You

for a “JOB WELL DONE”

Farewell to Terri Russell:

Quilters are always quick to welcome

new quilters as they pick up quilting, move to

a new area, or just decide to join in finally.

Many of us grow deep roots within our guilds

and become longtime parts of our quilting

communities. We have a member who we

love and will miss, Terry is moving to Davis,

CA about an hour drive from Oroville. As her

many friends and acquaintances know, Terri

has been an incredibly active member of the

guild for more than 20 years. She is an

inspiration to many of us quilters and new

quilters and to many she is our quilting hero.

We will miss her and wish her the best, Terri

you will always be one of us, “OPQG Quilting

Sister.”

Moonlighters Chair:

I feel like a stranger after being gone a

month on vacation. I had a great time but, I’m

glad to be back. Since it’s October we are all

very busy as our Quilt Show is almost here. My

projects are almost done are yours?

Now the race is on for the holidays. The

Food Committee did a good job as usual. We

fed everyone even though we were a main dish

short. It was good to see everyone even though

we missed a few faces.

We’ll hear soon from our nominating

committee about new chairmen for next year.

We have all of our chairmen nominated. Wow!

See you next month. Have a Happy Halloween.

Virginia Brile 534-9637

Speakers: Terri Russell's trunk show was amazing,

she has had a long and varied quilting

history. She will be missed. Our November

speaker is Jan Haworth on her "Journey as a

Quilt Artist".

Sharon Helton, 743-7465

Quilt Show: Wow, what a busy time we had and I

want to thank those of you who worked so hard

at putting it together from planning it to actually

doing the work. We had several new events

going which seemed to be well received. We

tried selling quilts and sold fifteen, very much a

success. We had 20 award sponsors, two of

which who wanted to select their favorite quilt

and Mayor Linda Dahlmeier selected her

favorite for the "Mayors Choice Award"

sponsored by Applebee's. Our ribbons were

hand made by our own Millie Top and they

turned out beautifully, with several positive

comments from visitors. We also had special

name tags made by Dorothy Moyles Smith and

a wonderful boutique with items made by many

of our members. Plus 38 raffle baskets filled to

the brim with items donated by companies

throughout the country. For those of you who

won baskets, please save them for our next

show.

Sharon Helton, 743-7465

Workshops: Thanks everyone for your participation

in workshops this year. It's always fun to learn

new techniques. There will be no workshop in

November or December.

We are doing some classes differently in

2019. In January we are having a half day

workshop after the general meeting on January

17. The class will be taught by our speaker

Jennifer Rapaki. There will be a open sew day

on our usual workshop day, January 3rd. I

wanted to let you know early so you can plan to

stay for the work shop on the 17. More info

about Jennifer's class to come!

Terri Russell

Terri’s Thank You:

A heart- felt THANK YOU for

the going away party. The cake was so

delicious, and I enjoyed the extra piece

sent home with me. The signature block

that so many signed will be a precious

memory. I enjoyed showing SOME of

my quilts, I have given a lot away to

family and to charity and some of those I

showed have recipients’ names on them

too. There is a story behind every quilt

but not enough time to tell them. I did

want the audience to know a lot of great

outside and in-house teachers were the

inspiration behind the quilts.

The Guild has been very special

place to go on Thursdays and the

members have been so helpful in my

quilting journey. You were all a big part

of the healing process when I lost my

husband. I will not ever forget that.

I look forward to new quilting

adventures (and finishing my UFO's) in

my new home in Davis.
