March Program-Jodi Warner

Jodi Glissmeyer Warner, a local quilter, was our guest speaker in March. She dazzled us with a gorgeous trunk show of original quilts. One of her quilts was recently featured on the cover of "Quilter's World" magazine (February 2011). Please enjoy the pictures of her trunk show below. For more information on Jodi or her patterns see your March Patchwords or her website found here hearthsewnpatterns.com.

Thank you Jodi for sharing your beautiful work.

Two thoughts from Jodi that I loved:

"My heart is fed by needle and thread"

and

"Imagination is more important than knowledge" Einstein

June Meeting- The Culture of Quilting

June's meeting was a Round Robin--

Four wonderful classes taught by 4 of our amazingly talented guild members.

Saundra Cindrich demonstrated English Paper Piecing

(look at the border on the quilt--the flowers are made of English Paper Pieced petals).

Francine Berrett demonstrated Hawaiian quilt making, an art she learned years ago from a dear friend while living in Hawaii.

Sharon Wright taught her method of Celtic Applique'

that she uses often to embellish borders on her quilts

(The pictures really don't do it justice,

but you can click on them to make them larger to get a better idea).

Megan Legas and Ella Simons taught a new technique for hand quilting. Megan also showed a handy dandy trick to make quilting edges easier.

Thanks to our wonderful teachers and the program committee.

What a fun way to be introduced to new or different ideas.

Utah Valley Quilt Guild Local Quilt Market

Our April meeting featured local women who have turned their passion for quilting into a business. They each took a few minutes to explain their business, how they got started and give some advice. Many brought door prizes. Here they are seated on the stage. Below, they are each shown in their booth where they displayed and sold their products.

This was such a fun and inspiring meeting!
