​Lecture and workshop presented by Madonna from Mad B's Quilt Shop. 

​Are fabric scraps taking over your stash? This quilt is a "scrapbuster," so join MaDonna as she leads you through the assembly of this quilt.

Workshop to be held from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (follows our regular guild meeting). Cost is $35.

Margaret Willingham will travel from beautiful Colorado to present our September 10, 2019 program.  She will lecture and share her knowledge of reverse applique. 

​The Lonesome Valley guild will also feature Ms Willingham at their September 9 meeting.  Both lectures are different and members may attend both.

There will be a workshop  following both lectures. Lunch will be provided.  Members, please email Patsy if you want to attend the workshop.

What a happy surprise! Sunny Martin, Ashfork's Senior Class Sponsor, Naomi Montezuma, Library Assistant and 7 seniors visited our meeting to express their appreciation and gratitude for the  Comfort Quilts our guild has given to them.

After recently having two of her quilts appraised by a certified AQS appraiser, Judy (active CVQ member) feels she learned a lot of information to share with members. 

Why and when to get a quilt appraisal:
  

•      Insurance coverage - plain old blanket value if no appraisal
•      Donations
•      Settle an estate
•      Ship a quilt or enter a contest, display at a show
•      Selling your quilt
•      Curiosity - you just want more information
•      Establish legal ownership

Allow about an hour for your appointment with a certified quilt appraiser and bring along quilt information, who pieced, quilted, designer, special materials, cost/quality of materials and embellishments.  Bring the quilt! Has the quilt earned ribbons, prizes or been a featured display in shows?

Did you add any special techniques to the original design, i.e. a flange, etc or change the pattern in any way, layout, borders, unique binding or borders?  If so, the quilt could be considered an "original" design. Deviations of any kind add value. 

Make sure to have a label or two or three.  Very Important.  The labels must give credit where appropriate and tell a story of the quilt.

Remember...it's just a blankiet unles you have it appraised.
