    This month's guest speaker is Lyn Brown, a long-time Quilter, Designer and Teacher. Lyn will also lead our February workshop, Mid Century Magic, on February 13th.

    Lyn Brown has been teaching quilting in Orange County for many years. In 2000, she joined the faculty of North Orange County Community College District and taught five quilting classes a week for them. Her projects come fast and furious, including swaps, mysteries, reproduction, and contemporary, with a little bit of art thrown in. Lyn is in demand as a guest speaker and teacher for quilt guilds all over southern California. Sharing quilts and secrets, Lyn brings a whole trunk show of quilts with her and her workshops are filled with quick techniques and sneaky tricks.

    At the Meeting

    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.
