​Speaker for November Meeting
Kristie Shulman
"My Quilting Journey" Trunk Show​
​

At our upcoming guild meeting, Kristie Shulman will share a trunk show of quilts made over her thirty years of quilting.

Kristie is a long-time member of PVQA who began quilting during a difficult time in her life. What started as a way to cope soon became both a creative outlet and a source of comfort, with quilting serving as a form of therapy. Over the years, Kristie has made many quilts in a variety of styles and has contributed to PVQA as a quilt show committee and board member, as well as an outreach group coordinator. For Kristie, quilting is deeply woven into her life journey, offering opportunities for personal discovery and growth, and connection through community.

​

 

Kristie's workshop, Maple Flurries, still has room for participants. ​​

Sign up for upcoming workshops now on the Workshops page.​​

Time for Members to Sign Up to Volunteer for the Quilt Show!

It’s going to be show time before we know it.

Sign up now to get the job you want and the time you prefer!

​

Every year our generous members—YOU!-- volunteer to help make our annual PVQA Quilt Show a phenomenal success. In exchange for 4 hours of your time, you can enter up to 5 quilts in the show! There are SO many ways to participate, including:  helping to set up the show, selling tickets at the door,  receiving and hanging quilts, helping out with the auction, working the Bargain Garden and more. Some seated jobs are available. 

 

You’re lucky because the sign ups have just opened, so you have your choice of what to do! Click here to go to the Volunteer Page of this website. There are two sign ups for Volunteer positions:  one for Thursday and Friday Set Up, and another for the Preview Party and working during the Quilt Show . There is also a sign up for Food Donations to feed our volunteers hard at work setting up the show on Thursday and Friday.  Ask a friend to join you, and volunteer together.

 

If you have special circumstances that do not allow you to work at the show itself, there are opportunities to volunteer in alternate ways, such as making small quilt-related door prizes or bags to hold auction quilts that are sold.  Contact the Volunteer Coordinator Ruth Smith for more info., or for any other questions.

 

Thank you for the generous gift of your time. The Quilt Show takes all of us working together to make it a success! Please sign up today!
