January GVQC Meeting

Activity begins early in the huge room as various committees set up their tables and attendees arrive.

The huge room fills and members wait for the meeting to begin

Show and tell is always popular after the business meeting and committee reports.

April GVQC Meeting

Show and Tell is always an important component of the meeting. Here Beth is showing her Colin Firth Quilt.

Here it is up close.

More Show and Tell

Our speaker was Caren Betlinski who does wonderful thread painting.

This beautiful raffle quilt from the Webster Guild was visiting today.

GVQC meeting, and more

Two member's sons playing with fabric during the meeting.

Whipping up enthusiasm for the December sale.

After the meeting I went to the Bobbin Case where I ran into a former student who modeled the jacket she made from my Take 12 Class.

She cleverly made it reversible. I had never seen it done that way before.

And Anne had taken one of the quilted saris which I sell and made a reversible jacket.

Genesee Valley Quilt Guild Annual Picnic

Today was the day for our annual picnic which replaces the usual meeting at the Temple on Elmwood Avenue. The setting was the second floor of the Robach Community Center on Beach Avenue in Rochester. One of the high points of the day is the opportunity for members to participate in the annual "yard sale" of unwanted (by the owner) fabric and textiles. Here are some members hard at work. Round tables were set up throughout the room for lunch and conversation.
Pat Berardi had lots of wonderful fabric and terrific prices. My table was in the corner to the right. You can see a few customers.

Enjoying the view of Lake Ontario. There was a small but high quality for sure show and tell after a brief business meeting. This was a hand quilted first quilt.

Another mostly handmade quilt...this time redwork embroidery.
I just loved this one.

A commissioned baby quilt. Lucky baby.
