Meetings

Our June speaker is Carol Ziogas, who will present "Stitching the Sky--Vintage Japanese Indigo and Sashiko Textiles of the 19-20th Centuries."

"Carol Ziogas has been collecting vintage Japanese kimonos for more than 20 years. She enriched her knowledge with extensive research, learning the history, and developing a love of traditional Japanese stitching. Carol’s presentation will include a display of 19th and 20th century Japanese textiles including indigo, shibori, katazome, kimono, and sashiko pieces."

The Guild traditionally "goes dark" in July. See you in August!

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.

Meetings are held at:

Garden Grove Elks Lodge #1952

11551 Trask Ave

Garden Grove, CA

Doors open at 8:30 a.m. Regular meetings start at 9:30 a.m. on the 2nd Wednesday of the month.
