Meetings

This is a reminder that we will be supporting the Marines at Camp Pendleton with our annual Santa Toy Drive. Please bring your toy donation to the November meeting, and please don't forget the older children. Gift cards are also appreciated.

The Ways and Means table will be featuring Halloween fabrics, Fall fabrics, Christmas fabrics and a lot of assorted kits and patterns, plus some fun new items in the miscellaneous bin. Our donation request for the October meeting is for more Christmas fabrics, panels, winter-themed fabrics, sewing notions and sewing room decor.

This is the final month for our 2025 UFO Challenge. Members who have turned in all 5 finished projects will be eligible for a cash drawing!

Orange Grove Quilters Guild is one of the few Southern California quilt guilds with daytime meetings. About 100 of us gather on the second Wednesday of the month to share our quilts and learn more about quilting. This is the typical meeting agenda:

8:30 a.m. Doors open at the Elks lodge. Members help themselves to coffee, tea and light snacks while checking in on friends and the latest Guild activities. This is a good time to turn in blocks for the BOM challenge, browse donated fabric and magazines for sale, sign up for a workshop or pick up a Philanthropy project to work on at home.

9:30 a.m. The Guild President opens the meeting and goes over the latest news. Committee chairs make their reports and then it's time for Show and Tell, where members share their quilt creations. More quilts are on display in the parade of Philanthropy quilts that are ready for donation.

After a short break, it's time for learning. The Guild hosts a variety of speakers throughout the year. Typically, the instructor for that month's workshop will be the featured speaker.

11:30 a.m. The meeting adjourns. Guild members are welcome to purchase lunch in the Elk's Lodge dining room.
