Hello Miami Valley Quilters' Guild!
Thank you to everyone for an amazing quilt show. Special thanks to Emilie and all of you who worked so hard to make the quilt show a success! And of course, thank you to all of you who submitted a quilt. Without you there would be no quilt show. Because we have a speaker in June, our quilt show recap will be in July. I can't wait to see all the winning quilts! A special welcome to all our new members who joined at the quilt show. We look forward to getting to know you. Liz Granberg-Jerome's much anticipated trunk show and classes will be presented this month. You won't want to miss it! As always, the meeting starts promptly at 6:30 the second Tuesday of the month at Knob Prairie Church in Enon. Also, if you won blocks from the Christmas Spool Challenge, be sure to bring your completed quilt top to show off to the guild! If you bring your quilt top to the June meeting, you’ll earn $50, which you could put toward the backing and batting for the quilt. See you soon! Melody H., president Upcoming meetings: June Guild Meeting – Tuesday, June 11 at 6:30pm Join us for Liz Granberg-Jerome’s “Adventures with 60º Triangle Quilts” lecture and trunk show, showcasing 60° triangles to make pieced hexies that produced a variety of quilts with no Y-seams and has evolved into her original design Hexified Panel Quilts, a hybrid that merges several techniques! She will be hosting a great workshop showing how to make a Hexified Panel Quilt on June 12 and June 13. Spots are still available - You can choose to do a 1-day class and complete a smaller precut kit or choose the 2-day class and complete a larger precut kit! View more details here. July Guild Meeting – Tuesday, July 9 at 6:30pm Join us for a quilt show review! We will share the results of our biggest guild fundraiser and we’d love for our ribbon winners and “On the Road Again” challenge groups to bring their quilts to be shown off to the group. From the Vice President & Workshops: It’s hard to believe we are almost halfway through the year! Be sure to look at the calendar on our website (www.mvqgohio.com/calendar.html) to learn more about our activities for the rest of the year.

Happy Sewing, Patty Hardin, QOV Chair 2024 Quilt Show Wow! We had such a wonderful show last weekend and we can't wait to share the results in our July guild meeting! Thank you to everyone for all their hard work this weekend and the months leading up to the 2024 Quilt Show. We couldn't do this without everyone's support, hard work and dedication. We will be sharing photos on our Facebook page and adding the winning quilt photos to our website this week! We are still looking for a chair for our 2026 show.
