January 12, 2021 Meeting

1/19/2021

Following our general meeting, Patsy Franko explained the process for putting student names and Chino Valley Quilters’ labels on the 57 quilts the guild had made for homeless children from local Chino Valley schools. Each labeled quilt is to be put in a pillowcase and checked off as completed. There will be groups designated for each task. The completed quilts were delivered to Laurie Marley after the meeting. The remaining 20 quilts needed are in varying states of completion. Some need pillowcases, some need binding and labels and one needs to be made. The deadline for all quilts to be completed is February 1st.

News About Our November 10, 2020 Meeting

10/13/2020

0 Comments

 
This meeting was not a meeting, but a Rummage Sale. Patsy Franko brought all her surplus fabric and sold it for $2 a yard. Members were encouraged to bring quilt related items they wished to donate to the sale. All sale proceeds went to the Community Service program. We opened up the sale to the public, so we encouraged members to spread the word to friends and family. Any items not sold at the sale were donated to Goodwill.

Below are photos of two 12 year old students, Grace and Ethan (parental permission was obtained to use their names), who were able to make weekly visits to Joanne Ramsperger's home to work on their quilts since school was suspended due to COVID-19. They both finished this month (August 2020) and both were allowed to use Joanne's long arm to finish their quilts! Joanne wanted their efforts to be recognized and shared. Thank you, Joanne, for your generosity and support.

August 11, 2020 - Laurie Marley

8/13/2020

0 Comments

 
Patsy Franko described her plans for our Community Service program this year. The main focus will be the Guild’s participation in Chino Valley Schools Sponsor a Student program. The person in charge of that program, Laurie Marley, Family Resource Specialist, was at our meeting and gave a detailed and impassioned presentation about the ongoing need to help homeless children living in Chino Valley. The need is great with 319 children (3-18 years old) classified as homeless in Chino Valley. The community can help in many ways by sponsoring a student, by providing needed items such as school supplies, personal hygiene items, clothing, gift cards for local stores, money, etc. Our Guild is helping by providing quilts and pillowcases to those children in the program. Every month the program gives some type of item to the children, such as backpacks in August, coats in November, swimsuits and towels in May, etc. The quilts the Guild donates will be given out in February. Laurie will let the Guild know the age, gender and interests of the children, so members can make a quilt personalized for each student in the program. Members will be able to sign-up to make a quilt in September, once we know the number of students being sponsored and their age, gender and interests. Currently, 42 students are in the program.

March 2020 Carolyn O'Bagy-Davis

3/11/2020

0 Comments

 
Patsy introduced our guest speaker, Carolyn O'Bagy-Davis.  Ms Davis is here from Tucson and is the author of several books.  She is an anthropologist by training and has been studying and chronicling the traditions of Hopi quilting for over thirty years. During that time she has collected and extensively documented over one hundred of the Hopi quilts. Ms Davis' quilts are being donated to the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The presentation described how missionaries introduced quilting to the Hopi women. Their quilts are  used in baby naming ceremonies , funeral shrouds,  going away quilts as well as other ceremonial quilts.

The quilts are primarily hand pieced and hand quilted using   whatever fabric was available.  Many have a patchwork design, many are scrappy quilts and some feature a star, bird, or butterfly design.  The quilts may also   be hand painted and tied.

There are three mesas on the reservation and  each one has their own distinct style.  Quilts from the 2nd Mesa are influenced by their basket weaving tradition while quilts from the 1st Mesa are influenced by their pottery designs.

Carolyn said if you would like to visit the Hope reservation you should go to the 2nd Mesa Hotel and stop in at their  Hotel shop. Mentioning that you are a quilter is a good  conversation starter and, by all means, bring along  some fabric to give to any Hopi quilter you meet.  At the end of the  presentation, there were  original Hopi quilts, Hopi hand painted blocks, and many of Carolyn's books.
