This month, our founder, Carol Andrews, will be ourfeatured teacher as she presents members with her ownTree Skirt workshop and pattern for free...

for which we are very thankful.

We are also grateful to Carol (pictured here in the early years of the guild) for having the vision to establish theGQG, and for her presence and support over the years.

cÜxá|wxÇà|tÄ g|wu|àáWell, the Holidays are coming faster than the time we have available to get all ourplanned projects finished... But, I would still like you to schedule 2 hours of yourtime for the Glendale Quilt Guild this month. On Wednesday, November 14,please plan to attend our workshop/social program. The old saying goes “there areno leaders without followers.” With your support this can be an opportunity toshow the generosity and many talents of our own membership.

There will be lots of cutting, sandwiching and sewing going on in addition to eating, chatting andlaughing at our November meeting. Join us for an old-fashioned quilting bee to see if we can get alot of quilts finished. What better way to spend an evening than in the company of fellow quiltershelping others? All fabric, batting, thread, snacks, beverages and fun will be supplied!

Reward yourself for a job well done by attending Carol Andrews’ workshop on November 18 (freeto all members!) and making a tree skirt for yourself or as a good holiday gift project. Check fordetails on the workshop page.

I want to thank all the new members and board members who attended the New Member Tea at myhouse. A “Special Thanks” to Jean Giacomelli for helping set the tables with the beautiful placesettings of china and teacups, plus the really clever fancy shoe gifts. The Board provided thesandwiches, salads and desserts – all delicious. I am sorry for the spectacular conclusion to the event. Thanks to my many health guardians who quickly and skillfully came to my aid.

Another big thanks goes to all the “quilt holders” who assisted during Show & Share and also heldup the speaker’s trunk show quilts. REMEMBER EVERYONE – Bring a quilt to the Novembermeeting... We want to see it whether it’s your favorite quilt, first quilt, latest quilt, worst problemquilt – just a quilt and a short story for our continuous Show & Share to go along with our continuousbreak. Also, anyone is welcome to bring munchies even if you are not on the “list” for November.Try to bring some veggies and fruit because we don’t need any sugar highs!

Hope you will join us on the 14th -

Hello everyone!

Our quilt show is shaping up quite nicely...

I was able to go to the Marriott and see some of the renovations that they havebeen promising. Well, let me tell you - the West Tower, closest to the ConventionCenter, is done and the rooms are FANTASTIC! Forget those old polyestercomforters and dark rooms. The new rooms have rich cotton bedding and lots oflight plus plasma TVs, multi-media centers and BIG closets. They have re-tiled thebathrooms and now have boutique amenities. Please book your rooms SOON!

The “early bird” cut off date is March 5th, 2008, and our special show room rate of $118. will be increased to the normal rate of $250. thereafter.

2008 Show T-shirts are IN and will be available from Cathy Euler at the Novembermeeting! The Wearables entry form is now up on the website, and I will have moreentry forms at the December meeting, as well as ALL the show merchandise...

Come prepared to shop!

The 3/4 sleeve shirts = $25. The 2008 tote =$15. The show pin = $5. AND The “new” show charm = $7.

The Mighty Minis have the volunteer sign up sheets - so please start planning foryour hours. Speaking of volunteers, the show board has decided that the MarriottCertificate, for a 1night stay (that we give away every year), will be drawn from themembers that complete their 2 hours of service. Your chances have never beenbetter to win a free night at the Marriott for the 2009 Show!

The vendor contracts have been sent out and Vendor Chair Jean Giacomelli hassome great new participants in the mix. Start saving your pennies!

The brochure will be out soon so look for it in the mail and at the Decembermeeting. Also in December we will be signing up TA's for the workshops.

Finally, I would like to announce that we will also be hosting award winning quilter,Sharon Schambers, at the 2008 show. Look for new classes from her in machinequilting and long arm quilting!

If you would like to be on the set-up crew, see me at the December meeting. I stillneed mucho help getting this show together so please come and get involved...

I appreciate all your help,
