May 2012 Guild Meeting – Kaye England
Q.U.I.L.T.S. members and several guests had the experience of a lifetime at this meeting.   Kaye England, internationally known teacher and author, gave a very informative and entertaining lecture along with a trunk show of her original quilts.  Kaye shared her favorite tips and tools with the group.  She also stressed the need to share the story behind your quilts so the person you made it for understands what the quilt meant to you as you were making it.  And Kaye promised us that sheep don’t shrink in the rain!
Kaye also taught two full day workshops. On Friday, May 4th, she taught a Double Dozen class which focused on piecing techniques and how to create traditional quilt blocks in different sizes. On Saturday, May 5th, she taught The Road to Jericho, a pieced central medallion quilt with an appliqué border.

April 2012 Guild Meeting
Yes, even though it was March 29th, this was the April 2012 Q.U.I.L.T.S. meeting. Since our March 2012 meeting was cancelled due to inclement weather, we had a lot to cover this evening. First up was Lynn Makrin and Kathie Greenwold from the guild’s Judging Study Group who provided an overview of what judges will be looking for and how quilts will be scored for those members wishing to have their quilts judged at our quilt show which will be held in September. Their presentation included a mock judging. A special Thank You! goes out to Lynn for taking the lead and all the ladies who participated in the Judging Study Group.
Bonnie Turner from Log Cabin Quilts (Ravena, NY) then took over the spotlight with her “Quilting Out of the Box – Traditions Meet Today” lecture and trunk show. Bonnie’s trunk show included works from her early years through the present – all the pieces were just beautiful!
Due to time limitations, a short members’ show & tell was presented. Those members who did not get the opportunity to show their quilts at this meeting are encouraged to bring them back at the may meeting.
