March meeting was a great success!

For those of you who missed our meeting we had a visit from Carmen Geddes who has been a regular teacher at HMQS and won teacher of the year there in 2013. She presented some lovely quilts and gave us some great ideas on appliqué and trying out new techniques with the long arm.

There was also a book review by the president called It's Been Fun Girls on the history of quilting in northern Utah. There is a copy in our library. Here is information if you're interested in your own copy.

Contact: Lisa Duskin-Goede, Coordinator, Bear River Heritage Area 435-713-1426 or lisad@brag.utah.gov. Visit the website for more info.

The Bear River Heritage Area is pleased to announce the completion of a book on the history of quilting and contemporary quilting practices in the seven counties of the region Box Elder, Cache and Rich in Utah; and Oneida, Franklin, Caribou and Bear Lake in Idaho.

The 62 page booklet “It’s Been Fun, Girls. Carry On…” Quilting as a Heritage Art in Northern Utah and Southeastern Idaho, takes its name from the last words of well-loved Cache Valley quilter Millie Olmstead, who died in 2012. It includes a brief history of quilting in the region, seventeen profiles of local quilters, several highlighted quilts, a quilt glossary, a list of quilt shops, and a list of further reading and resources.

Don't forget National Quilt Day coming up this weekend. The Utah Quilt Guild has planned a great event this year!

National Quilt Day will be held on Friday, March 21, from 1 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, March 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Legacy Village in Layton.  Our  Guild will host a table at the celebration and we need volunteers to man the table for  one to two hours.  Any time you can  volunteer will be greatly appreciated.

If you ordered Red Glasses they are here and are available. Contact Darlene if you didn't get yours at the meeting, darlene.walker@comcast.net

Handi Quilter is going to be starting a Computerized Quilt Guild on the opposite months of our Long Arm guild meeting.  Their first meeting will be April 26th 10:00 AM  at HQ.

That's it! Happy Spring everyone and we'll see you in a few weeks!

Road to California

I had a chance to visit Road to California this year. The quilters in this area are pretty amazing themselves. This little quilt wasn't more than 18" square. Check out some of the pictures from the show here.

The Wasatch Front Shop-hop theme this year is Route 89 and it should be a ball!

Cecilee Wilson will be doing a retreat/class on” Square in a Square” patterns.  She is a certified teacher with Jodi Barrows methods so if you're interested please contact her for registration information.  

There is a new Shop opening in Bountiful – Quilter’s Attic. Opening March 1, 2014.  

New Product – SewRed Glasses.  Missouri Star web site sells them – one day only however for $8.88.  She passed around a list to see who wanted the glasses and to see if we could do a group buy.  Then someone mentioned that Jolene Kooyman made them and she was here in Utah.  So maybe we could order through her.  

Then someone else mentioned that if you have an iPhone or Droid phone you already have the ability to see the color values in the material when you go shopping or put a quilt together.  You put your phone to pictures, then mono and the phone now shows the values.

GUESTS:   The guests were the Modern Quilt Guild.  This was so fun.  They did a trunk show of the quilts they have been making. They were a cute group of girls.  We really enjoyed having them.

Just before the Guests:  Barbie who belongs to the Modern Quilt Guild as well, taught the lesson on how modern quilters quilt on their domestic machines. They do random patterns wavy lines that don’t match one from another or sometimes, they do match.  They use painters tape, chalk and draw the pattern for guides.  And they use the walking foot and spray baste their pieces together.  They are self taught, and they might start a design (no pattern mind you) and change it in the middle.
The Definition of Modern Quilts and Quilters is very random and has sub-categories too.
Classic, Modern.  Liberated Modern, Modern fun, Modern use anything you have.  It was fun too, because several of the girls liked the scrappy backs of their quilts as much or more than the fronts.
Even though they like to use the material that is on sale and then make something out of it, the also like to use Riley Blake Charm packs and build a quilt around one of his prints – for a challenge quilt.
