Happy New Year 2016, everyone!

Last month, our Holiday meeting was a huge success! It was so much fun sharing time with you all and enjoying the Nestle Choir, providing

the perfect end to 2015. In fact, looking back, 2015 was a very successful year for our Guild. We held our annual show in March at the Pasadena Convention Center. Thanks to our fantastic Show Chairs and

Guild member volunteers, we once again put on a wonderful show. This was followed by our first-time ever Bazaar in October, when our

Fundraiser Chairs and hard-working members created a very

successful event.

During the year, we conducted sewing events, workshops, Loving Hands events and fun

meetings to keep us all engaged in our Guild. Membership is on the rise and while we will not hold a show this year, we are on the way planning for 2017 and looking for a theme.

There is much to look forward to in 2016 and many ways for you to enjoy our Guild! Coming up in January, we are the featured Guild at Road to California and will be presenting

our Opportunity Quilt for ticket sales. Make sure to sign up for white gloving or ticket sales. Then on April 16th, we will produce “A Visit With Alex Anderson”, which we expect to sell out.

If you don’t have your tickets yet, hurry and get them, because advertising begins this month and tickets are now open to the public. Our Programs & Workshops team have lots of fun events planned to keep you entertained each month, not to mention Block of the Month,

Loving Hands and a couple “Sew Ins”. 2016 will offer lots of opportunities for us to do what we love best ~ get together and sew.

When I made my first quilt in 1998, I had no idea what was to come. I had no idea that quilting would change my life in such a positive manner. Then in 2006, when I joined GQG

and found so many other people like me, my love for quilting really began to express itself. I am proud to have you there to inspire and encourage me to be a better quilter and as a

bonus, a better friend. Here’s my “Quilting” resolution for 2016 - to continue to expand my skills as a quilter, share

my knowledge to inspire others and to participate in GQG events to ensure that we continue to fulfill our mission as a Guild. It’s going to be a banner year for us all!

Let’s go quilt!

Loving Hands Activities December 2015 was an amazing month for Loving Hands. Sandy Bradfield, Craig Coleman, Sharon Mayeux, Kathy Fogel, Judy Sellers, Cindy Abrams, Linda White, Kathi Wilson, and Leah Bessey all found time to do some quilting for us. Binding Angels Peggy Barber, Mary

Ann Andrews, Ann Bagne, Crystal Dudley, and Nancy Condit provided their expert finishing touches. Denise Koch, Ellen Gray, and Cathy McNassor all brought us tops.

Then there were the donations! Margaret McNeal donated 45 tops that she had made especially for us. Leah Bessey gave us two more, and Sue Vite found us 4 rolls of extra wide backing fabric. We used our Guild budget to purchase more batting, so we are all set for

2016!

Next, about 30 of us enjoyed the Third Annual Loving Hands Holiday Party. Susan Edwards welcomed us into her exquisitely decorated home where we began the festivities with cups of Kathi Wilson’s famous wassail. We then proceeded to build our “friendship salads” and share

Mary Ann Andrews’ home baked to-die-for baguettes. What a wonderful way to celebrate all that Loving Hands accomplished in 2015.

Jeffree Itrich, from the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study at UCSD, is planning to feature

us in her January newsletter article. She has given away almost 3,400 quilts to study participants since 2010, and we are one of her six principal suppliers as we have sent her 179. Because Loving Hands makes its quilts collaboratively, we decided to take a group

photo at the party to be included in her article.

As of this writing, we have not yet delivered all of 2015’s gift quilts, but it is certain that the number will exceed 450. Watch for a complete accounting of the 2015 distributions in the February newsletter.

Seventy members attended the December

Guild Workshops

Loving Hands Weekend Edition On Saturday, November 14 workshop participants

gathered at WAC for the first of two workshops dedicated to making quilts for Loving Hands. The quilt-as-you-

project is the brainchild of our own Nan Maples. 16 kits were prepared in October using beautiful fabrics from Loving Hand’s stash and all but one kit was started.

The goal for the November workshop was to get 4 sets of

5 coordinating 2 ½ inch WOF strips sewn down on 11 x WOF backing and batting, then after measuring the

resulting width, then cutting squares from the resulting strips. If all goes well, each kit will produce 16 squares.

In January Nan will teach us how to join the squares using binding strips.

Consider signing up for the January workshop and help us finish these beautiful quilts for Loving Hand to

distribute

Weekend Edition was started as a way for those who are not available for the traditional Loving Hands meetings to participate as well as learn new quilting techniques.
