SERVING THE GREATER WHITTIER-LA HABRA AREA<br />

Volume 32 Number 9 November 2012<br />
Guest Speaker Julie Silber<br />
Julie Silber will be the November speaker. Her program will be The Amish and<br />
Their Quilts.<br />
Julie and her partner Jean Dementer are proprietors of the Quilt Complex which<br />
specializes in quilt related services and buying, selling and appraising quilts dating<br />
from 1780 to 1950.<br />
Here’s their website<br />
http://www.thequiltcomplex.com/<br />
Julie Silber is one of the world's most respected quilt experts. She has been selling<br />
antique quilts to museums, businesses, and individuals since 1968. Julie was the<br />
curator of the world renowned Esprit Quilt Collection in San Francisco and is the coauthor<br />
of the critically acclaimed books, Hearts and Hands and Amish: The Art of the<br />
Quilt.<br />
Julie’s expertise in appraisal focuses on quilts made before and during the 1950’s and 1960’s . She will be<br />
at the La Habra United Methodist Church 2 hours prior to the meeting to do appraisals for the Guild. Anyone<br />
wishing to have a quilt appraised please contact Bonnie Smith or Barbara Clemens. The appraisal will be<br />
informal with approximate value . Anyone needing a written appraisal please note that her reduced fee for the<br />
Guild is $75.00 per quilt and will come in the mail after the Guild meeting. Julie noted in her phone<br />
conversation that most quilts are covered under homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policies with proper<br />
photographic documentation. If someone’s treasure is extremely valuable and requires an appraisal , she will<br />
be glad to assist, or in the case of more modern quilts, refer the owner to an expert in modern quilt appraisal.<br />
So come and enjoy<br />
Those members wishing to sign up for an informal appraisal, contact Bonnie Smith (440-590-5100)<br />
or Barbara Clemens (562-697-1347).<br />
Take a look at Julie’s blog<br />

WORKSHOPS<br />
There will be no workshop for November. See the Program Chair’s article for what is happening right before<br />
our meeting in November. The next workshop will be in January.<br />
REMINDER: If you have signed up for a workshop and cannot attend please CALL ME. You can tell someone<br />
else, but make sure you call me direct or email me as I don’t always get your cancellation if you tell someone<br />
else. If you call and leave a message and/or email, I will return it with confirmation that I got your message<br />
and cancel your registration.<br />
Paying at sign-up: The decision of paying at sign-up or at the door has been at the Workshop Chair’s<br />
discretion. It has always worked out extremely well to pay at the door up until Saturday’s workshop. The<br />
attendance was disappointing in that only half the people that signed up actually attended. I feel that as Guild<br />
members we all feel an allegiance to the Guild and when we sign-up we intend on paying and attending.<br />
Sometimes life does get in the way and you just can’t make it, but the past history of the workshop shows, it<br />
always has worked. When I was a new member, there was a hard and fast rule that you sign-up and had a<br />
week to pay. No ifs, ands or buts. So, I was usually sending in my check by mail. That rule has been relaxed<br />
over the years and, I think for the better. It’s a refreshing break from the world’s rules and regulations, and the<br />
must do’s and must nots.<br />
However, Saturday served as an example of why we have asked in the past for payment at sign-up. I can’t tell<br />
you why we had so many cancellations , and I hope it was just a fluke.<br />
I am not going to belabor this issue, because the history of payments and attendance has been excellent. So I<br />
would just like to remind everyone that if you sign up, please do so with every intention of attending.<br />
STAMPS: Again, most people are leaving before the back of their membership card is stamped for<br />
attending the workshop. Please call me if you missed getting stamped for any of the workshops, and I’ll<br />
check my records and stamp them at November’s meeting. I want everyone who is entitled to a Free<br />
workshop to get it!!! But it is up to you to get your card stamped and keep a record of the workshops you<br />
attend. I know this is a new procedure, but I think once everyone catches on, it will be a good one.<br />

President's Message<br />
I hope you all enjoyed Bev Smyth's trunk show as much as I did. She shared so many beautiful quilts and<br />
such a variety.<br />
Our November speaker is Julie Silber. As stated on her website, Julie is a well known acknowledged expert in<br />
the field of appraising antique and vintage quilts. If you have quilts made between 1780 and 1950 be sure to<br />
make an appointment with Bonnie Smith to have them appraised.<br />
If you didn't attend the October skills building workshop you missed a good one.<br />
Thanks to all our members who shared their skills with the attending students.<br />
I look forward to seeing all of you at our next meeting on November 19, 2012<br />

Komfort Quilts.<br />
We were able to donate 12 quilts this month to La Cada. This organization helps in a variety of ways for those in need.<br />
They are located in Santa Fe Springs.<br />
Martha Fandel , Pauline Perez<br />
Also I would like to advertise for sale Grace NM-EZ3 Quilting Frame. This frame is for hand quilting and will handle<br />
crib to queen-size<br />
Purchased for $250 will sell for $125. I quiilted several quilts on it, and decided I’m not a hand quilter. ( Please don’t<br />
reveal this horrible secret to anyone in our guild, as you know what great hand quilters we have, and I am already in<br />
awe of them.)<br />

PHILANTHROPY<br />
Thanks you all for your generosity!!<br />
Canned goods and money collected Monday night were delivered to Martha Lester, Executive<br />
Director of The Gary Center. She was thrilled & gave me a tour of the facilities where they provide<br />
dental care and counseling to all ages on a sliding fee schedule. They feed 160 - 175 families who<br />
must attend nutrition & safety training led by St. Jude and local poilice to qualify for food program.<br />
They have a Christmas party every year with games and food & pictures with Santa......each child<br />
from the above families is given a wrapped gift......this is something we can help with as last year<br />
there were not enough gifts for all!<br />
Needed are: Toys, clothing, Target gift cards, whatever you can envision for 0 - 18 year olds!!<br />
Also wrapping paper is needed!<br />
Bring what you can to our November 19th Guild Meeting........money would be appreciated as they<br />
can purchase whatever items are needed to insure that all children are gifted!!<br />
Thank you for your 2013 Philanthropy Recommendations. The Committee will meet at<br />
Bev's Quilting Cabin at 2 PM on Thursday, Nov. 8, to tally your choices and then decide<br />
who gets how much! Results will be announced at the November Guild Meeting so<br />
checks can be sent to the non-profits chosen in time for holiday needs.<br />

Operation: Blocks For The Brave<br />
To date, we have completed and delivered 376 quilts to the coordinators. On October 21st we were proud to deliver,<br />
on behalf of the guild, 27 quilts to be presented to service personnel with physical and psychological wounds.<br />
At our October meeting we received 9 completed quilts, seven tops and 23 pillow<br />
cases.<br />
Thank you Stitching Friends Together Friendship Group<br />

SHOW AND TELL<br />
Didn't see any Halloween Quilts. How about some Fall Colored quilts.<br />
I know it hasn't felt much like Fall. So Bring Hot Color Quilts.<br />
Or Cool Color Quilts ~ maybe that would make the weather change.<br />
Speaking of weather -<br />
Be Thankful "Sandy" didn't come to California!

Community Events<br />
Oct 20 & 21 were busy days as our members were at two community events. Sat. & Sunday the guild had a<br />
booth at the Harmony Center Arts & Crafts Fair in uptown Whittier. Eight members sold boutique items and<br />
explained about the Blocks for the Brave signature quilts. We took in $709 in sales and $57 in BofB donations.<br />
Another 6 members were at Hurst Ranch where we had a mini quilt display, children's craft project and BofB<br />
signature quilts. We took in $75 in sales and $107 in BofB donations - way to go Leona!!<br />
Thanks to everyone who helped out and shared the guild's passion for quilting with the community.<br />
