The Orange Coast Sampler Guild is a non-profit organization devoted to promoting education in the history and art of sampler making.  Members study needlework techniques, history of samplers and sampler design.  Regular program meetings are held on the third Monday of the month, January through October at the Sunny Hills Church of Christ in Fullerton, California.  The Guild's membership dues are $30.00 per year, due in February. 
 
We regularly have classes taught by nationally-known designers such as Maureen Appleton, Merry Cox, Marcy Pumphret, Catherine Theron, and C A Wells.
