The History of Village Quilters

Take a stroll down memory lane with VQ Guild Historian Kearstie Grenier. Her PowerPoint presentation will feature photos from the last 40 years of the Village Quilter’s quilts and activities. Select photo albums will also be displayed for members to view.

Quilting has certainly evolved in the last 40 years, and we will explore the way those changes have affected the guild and its members. Those of you who have been with us for many years will have a chance to reminisce together, and new members may gain some insight into our shared passion for quilts and quilting. As we prepare for the next decade, it’s good to look back at our beginnings and have a clearer understanding of this journey we are taking together.

Quilt Show Preparation!

We will be demonstrating how to set up the stands and the quilts at our September meeting. This is a good review for those who have done it before and also a perfect learning time for those who are new to our system of hanging.

We still need two more team leaders who would be willing to lead a group of people to set up and take down. Each team needs to have two people who are willing and able to climb ladders. Currently there are only 3 people signed up to climb ladders and we really need at least 10 people. The quilts cannot be hung without ladder people. Please sign up for this important job.

We will need wagons to help with transporting supplies and quilts to the areas that you will be hanging. We will also need 4 ft. ladders, 6 ft. ladders, and (2) 8 ft. ladders. Please make sure that any ladders and wagons are well marked with your name so we can make sure everyone gets their items back.

Please remember that if you complete a job like check-in you need to come and see Sue Minster for another assignment. Boutique set up will start after the quilts are hung. Lunch will be provided for all workers on Thursday.

See you soon!

One Hundred Dresses, One Hundred Memories

Inspired by her favorite childhood book, THE HUNDRED DRESSES by Eleanor Estes, Deb Lindahl created 100 quilt squares made of family clothing and fabric scraps and sewed these pieces into the shape of dresses. Each dress represents a story about family history – joys and struggles along the way. These 100 stories were written as essays and assembled into a book as a way to preserve family history in a creative, relatable way.
