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.

Arlene Velis is our featured speaker for November. Arlene will be previewing her workshop on Color Confidence and sharing some of her quilts.

Signups will be open for the 2026 UFO Challenge and for the bus to Road to California. Check the November newsletter for more information.

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.
