MVQ
Testimonial to Great Journeys!
THANKS TO OUR THREE JOURNEYS
One of the best things is to leave the MVQ meeting and hear folks over and over say that Journey’s is always one of their favorite nights at guild. Special thanks to Jeanne Robertson, Karen Malio and Carrie Zizza for sharing their wonderful talents, beautiful quilts and stories with us at the meeting. I think all there agree Karen was hard act to follow, (her granddaughter might want to wear ear plugs next time) but Carrie we don’t think anyone will look at you again and not see you wearing that purple dress, the purple nylons and purple shoes!!! And to think you kept the dress J. These ladies were also (not bribed) a fabulous testament to our workshop programs as to why you should sign up for the diverse classes we offer for $25 each year – look what just three women had produced with tips and tricks from taking MVQ classes!

Congratulations to MVQ Exhibitors at “A Quilters Gathering”
MVQ was well represented at the Quilters Gathering last weekend in Nashua!
Ildi Tary won a red ribbon for hand quilting [second to Linda Roy!]- quite an accomplishment. Her “New Beginnings” quilt was awarded the Jeannie Glenfield Memorial Ribbon.
Deb Kelso, Jeannie Robertson, Janet Lee Santeusanio , Cathy Harnisch, Janice Jones, Maggie Judd and Mary Ginn ,all made this year’s show a sight to behold with their entries.
And, of course, our special invitational exhibit “Seven Sisters or Sew” . Sixteen small quilts were shown as an example of our “Creative Collectivity!” This exhibit was first shown at the MVQ Quilt Show in April of 2011. The Gathering planners saw it and thus the invitation! We are proud to be a part of MVQ!

Quilter of the Year 2010 – 2011
This year’s Quilter of the Year is a woman who has been a member for about ten plus years.
She has served the guild in many capacities in a very quiet gentle way. She has taught classes over the years at a local quilt shop in her area, she has shared her journey with us, she has been the guild treasurer and she has won ribbons for her quilting at many of our guilt shows. She co-chaired this year’s quilt show and our winner is Mary Ginn.
