President’s Message: QUILTER’S QUOTE: “The Love of Quilting is Our Common Thread”….
The Beauty on the River Quilt Show was a
success because of each of you. Thank you to
Sharon Helton and Claudia Goebl for your
leadership in the planning and executing our 2018
Beauty on the River Quilt Show. Thank you to
the Quilt Show Committee who worked very hard
this past year to make things happen smoothly.
Thank you to Marla Vaughn, and the “Star Bright
Ladies” for designing and creating the fabulous
Opportunity Quilt. Thank you to Terri Russell,
Nancy Clayton and Mary Jane Sasek for a great
job in judging all the wonderful entries. Thank
you to our “Featured Quilter’s” Lynne Pillus and
Linda Person and to each member who shared
their creations with all of us and the community.
Thank you to all the volunteers, members
and nonmembers, who came and worked in the
setup, break down, judging room, boutique,
admissions, opportunity quilt and raffle basket
ticket sales, white gloves and every area that
needed your help during the show. Thank you to
the vendors for bringing new things for us to
purchases and add to our stashes.
I am so thankful for each member of our
guild for your teamwork, for the laughs, and for
making the community feel so “welcome”. The
comments from many attendees were very
positive and said, “It was the best show ever.”
Oroville Piecemakers Quilt Guild Thank You
for a “JOB WELL DONE”

Farewell to Terri Russell:
Quilters are always quick to welcome
new quilters as they pick up quilting, move to
a new area, or just decide to join in finally.
Many of us grow deep roots within our guilds
and become longtime parts of our quilting
communities. We have a member who we
love and will miss, Terry is moving to Davis,
CA about an hour drive from Oroville. As her
many friends and acquaintances know, Terri
has been an incredibly active member of the
guild for more than 20 years. She is an
inspiration to many of us quilters and new
quilters and to many she is our quilting hero.
We will miss her and wish her the best, Terri
you will always be one of us, “OPQG Quilting
Sister.”

Moonlighters Chair:
I feel like a stranger after being gone a
month on vacation. I had a great time but, I’m
glad to be back. Since it’s October we are all
very busy as our Quilt Show is almost here. My
projects are almost done are yours?
Now the race is on for the holidays. The
Food Committee did a good job as usual. We
fed everyone even though we were a main dish
short. It was good to see everyone even though
we missed a few faces.
We’ll hear soon from our nominating
committee about new chairmen for next year.
We have all of our chairmen nominated. Wow!
See you next month. Have a Happy Halloween.
Virginia Brile 534-9637
Speakers: Terri Russell's trunk show was amazing,
she has had a long and varied quilting
history. She will be missed. Our November
speaker is Jan Haworth on her "Journey as a
Quilt Artist".
Sharon Helton, 743-7465
Quilt Show: Wow, what a busy time we had and I
want to thank those of you who worked so hard
at putting it together from planning it to actually
doing the work. We had several new events
going which seemed to be well received. We
tried selling quilts and sold fifteen, very much a
success. We had 20 award sponsors, two of
which who wanted to select their favorite quilt
and Mayor Linda Dahlmeier selected her
favorite for the "Mayors Choice Award"
sponsored by Applebee's. Our ribbons were
hand made by our own Millie Top and they
turned out beautifully, with several positive
comments from visitors. We also had special
name tags made by Dorothy Moyles Smith and
a wonderful boutique with items made by many
of our members. Plus 38 raffle baskets filled to
the brim with items donated by companies
throughout the country. For those of you who
won baskets, please save them for our next
show.
Sharon Helton, 743-7465
Workshops: Thanks everyone for your participation
in workshops this year. It's always fun to learn
new techniques. There will be no workshop in
November or December.
We are doing some classes differently in
2019. In January we are having a half day
workshop after the general meeting on January
17. The class will be taught by our speaker
Jennifer Rapaki. There will be a open sew day
on our usual workshop day, January 3rd. I
wanted to let you know early so you can plan to
stay for the work shop on the 17. More info
about Jennifer's class to come!

Terri’s Thank You:
A heart- felt THANK YOU for
the going away party. The cake was so
delicious, and I enjoyed the extra piece
sent home with me. The signature block
that so many signed will be a precious
memory. I enjoyed showing SOME of
my quilts, I have given a lot away to
family and to charity and some of those I
showed have recipients’ names on them
too. There is a story behind every quilt
but not enough time to tell them. I did
want the audience to know a lot of great
outside and in-house teachers were the
inspiration behind the quilts.
The Guild has been very special
place to go on Thursdays and the
members have been so helpful in my
quilting journey. You were all a big part
of the healing process when I lost my
husband. I will not ever forget that.
I look forward to new quilting
adventures (and finishing my UFO's) in
my new home in Davis.
