August Program – Who made this Quilt?
A trunk show
Petra Keller Saturday Lecture/Trunk Show, August 11,
2018, 1:30 p.m., Who Made This Quilt?
This “Black Art” trunk show explores the
desirability and necessity of documenting quilts
and wearable art. Ideas for keeping portfolio
records as well as suggestions for different label
styles and techniques are part of this lecture. As
we look at different labels, we will discuss in
detail how they were made.
President’s Message
Greetings AVQ Friends,
What fun the July Program, the Men’s Panel, was! Jack Brophy, Frank Chambers, George Crozier, and Jeff
Lenigan were artfully lead by Les Duman to share the challenges and benefits of having a quilter spouse. The
panel shared their favorites and regaled us with stories of purchasing excursions and additional support. There
was also a warning sent out about the dreaded long-arm that may seek to inhabit an unsuspecting “man cave”.
Laughter rang and you could see how very proud each was of his quilter.
School will soon resume, but until then, I look forward to learning many new techniques including Afghani
piecing and new prairie point techniques, from our August instructor, Petra Keller, and to registering several
quilts in the upcoming Quilting in the Garden.
A huge thank you goes out to all who volunteered to demonstrate quilting techniques, sell raffle tickets, walk
the floor, or other tasks at the Alameda County Fair. The two beautiful raffle quilts earned AVQ $711! These
proceeds will support our various outreach programs.
Finally, congratulations to all AVQ members who entered the fair, sharing their art, and to the many who took
home awards. Well done!
Keep Stitching,
~ Kathy Proctor, AVQ President
