FORMER LONGTIME MEMBER PASSES AWAY

We have learned of the death of Virginia Borden of Haverhill who was a member of the guild for many many years. Those who went on the bus trips knew Ginny was a regular on the bus each year and so looked forward to that trip as she said she never got to many quilt shops other than on the bus.

Successful UFO Auction

Posted on February 20, 2012

They came to bid!

And bid they did!

Almost $1400 was raised at this fun night.

Thanks you all- Maggie- Terry, Mary Ginn, Ildi Tary for executing the successful time.

If by any chance, you missed out on a bid or still have wonderful things to donate, bring them to the Quilt Show for the White Elephant Table- because our husbands have had it, we are asking for donations to be brought DIRECTLY to the Show-

Talk to Maggie Judd or Pat Lucey

Testimonial to Great Journeys!

Posted on January 20, 2012

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”

Posted on November 10, 2011 Updated on November 13, 2011

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!
