GVQC November Meeting

This was one of the Sudoku quilts done by Lois Kuh. Her grandson actually quickly noticed when two pieces were out of place!! (I am a big Sudoku fan.)

It was a pleasure to see that the quilt club had decided to dedicate some of our money to co-sponsoring with Arts Council of Greater Rochester, grants for fiber artists. What a wonderful idea and it will be exciting to see who applies for the grants. It was also a pleasure to see that we are again sponsoring the quilt group which is under the auspices of Compeer, a local peer mentoring group here in Rochester. Because all funding has been cut severely here in the state, it was good that the Club saw fit to send a generous check in their direction!


As always, Show and Tell was one of the highlights and I always find one or two pieces that just intrigue me and today was no exception!!

I absolutely loved these next two quilts!! I couldn't find out the maker's names as I wasn't watching when she was talking (taking pictures instead). The colors are just wonderful and fun scrappy quilts -- I love scrap quilts!

Pat has told me that the two quilts were by Vickie Coykendall for her two nephews! They are wonderful!

This quilt was basted today and now one of our star quilters (Ann Nash) will finish the hand quilting. She is an incredible quilter who is expert in all phases of applique and quilting! Can't wait to see this done -- her quilting is exquisite! She shows her Welsh roots here as well. She has done some awesome wholecloth quilts as well.

Marcia Eygabroat showed an awesome quilt as well but didn't photo it as it hasn't appeared on her website yet. She is a member of our RAFA group.

Our speaker was Paula Schultz who owns a shop called Cottons, Etc. in the central part of the state near Oneida. She is a wearable artist and did a trunk show for us today as well as spoke on her inspirations. She had quite a variety of garments that she shared with us and encouraged us to enter juried competitions and challenges.

This was a lovely outfit. The brightly colored piece is finger weaving. Just loved the look. Hmmmm....
This was her Matisse jacket and the quilting was beautiful.

This was a full coat done in a Rachel Clark class at QBL.

This was a crazy quilt jacket. It is almost plain on the back except for a small crazy quilt decoration. She wanted the excitement of seeing the look on people's faces when she turned around.
