We Dare You …
We dare you to make this year’s Mystery Quilt! Yes, you will have to do some thinking about your quilt design.
Yes, you might even learn something new.
We dare you … We promise it won’t be too hard – how hard can a panel be?
We promise not to make you do too much work over the holidays.
We promise to help you over the phone, or at one of the library sew-ins. You might even like it enough to do it again.
We promise you’ll love your finished quilt.
Part 2 of the 2013 – 2014 Mystery Quilt instructions have been posted on the Projects page.
There will be a very few copies available at the meeting for those without computer/printer access.
Want some help? MysteryQuilt@mvquilters.org or join us at one of the library sew-ins.
So, we dare you … Jan Taylor, Cathy Harnisch and Carol Sullivan

Suzanne Marshall Workshop
Suzanne Marshall, from St. Louis, taught a class for us on appliqué. Twenty MVQ members enjoyed her teaching skills. Here you see her on the floor showing how she does appliqué and the second photo is a close up of her technique where she does stitching around her appliqué to enhance the items. She also taught a class on hand quilting where she gave many tips and techniques and shared almost 25 types of batting to try and quilt through.

Mystery Bus Trip 2011
As you see in the picture – a bus full of MVQ quilters headed off last week to two stops in Connecticut. We first went to Quilters Dream in Vernon which was a great shop, great variety and everyone enjoyed it. Located right off Interstate 84 in a strip mall, stop in some time if your travels take you that direction.
Our second stop, we had been to seven years before, was in Willimantic at a shop called Quilting by the Yard. Another shop with diversity of fabrics. Both gave us nice discounts and free give always.
If you missed the trip this year be sure to watch the details for next year. Always a fun time.
