Why do cats love quilts so much? Be sure to read the article in the Chatter regarding the International Quilt Museum website. They are offering all the guilds a portal so you can see exhibits. FUN! Chapter Leadership meeting is on March 13 via Zoom. Be sure to sign up on the website under events. Our education continues. Penny Hulse has done a marvelous job of setting up our education lectures and workshops. We have a few in person classes - Ray Steeves in March, Terry Pyland in April, Joyce Holley in April, and Patti Pearce in May. I’m looking forward to actually seeing people in person and not via Zoom. Keep an eye out for AQG Fun Day. We are trying to plan it for the 1st week in December.

But now years later, as I look over my bookcases full of fabric that I purchased, was given, was part of a bundle that I didn’t care for, was a color I no longer love or I am no longer in love with the print— I realize that I have ugly fabric. What can I do? Dear Quilter, Well, as I spend hours looking at U Tube videos, I came across Karen Brown from “Just Get It Done Quilts” with a wonderful video on how to use ugly fabric. She has a number of great ideas and I added a few of mine own.

  • Meet the Artist: the Triplett Sisters and the Poos Collection Story
    Our mission is to promote, teach, and encourage the love of ALL types of appliqué in quilting. November / December— Volume 25 - Number 6 Meet the Artist: The Triplett Sisters and the Poos Collection story ** Would you please tell us about Martha Poos and the Poos Collection and how you became in- volved with Martha and the collection? Martha Poos is our grandmother and the collection was named to honor her because she taught us to quilt. Martha is who instilled the love of the art form in Kay as a child (I took a little longer to be per- suaded.) Kay is actually the creator of the collection and she is the one who got me involved in the col- lection by asking for help with the first book Red & Green Quilts from the Poos Collection. **How many quilts are in the Poos Collection? How many Applique Albums in the collection? For several reasons, we never address how many quilts are in the collection. Just as I don't know any- one willing to count and announce how many pieces of fabric are in their stash :-) We simply say it is one of the largest privately held collections. **Where is the Poos Collection housed? The Poos Collection is housed in 2 different locations in different states. **What do you think is the reason this collection is so special? It is special because of the quality of the quilts in the collection, the amount of research available about the collection, and because of the artistic value of the quilts which are all one of a kind.

  • Winter 2017 Newsletter
    WINTER 2017 NEWSLETTER 10959 W Fairview Avenue, Boise, Idaho 83713 208-376-0087 www.quiltcrossing.com Open Monday - Saturday, 10 am - 6 pm; Sundays, Noon - 5 pm $129 We are so happy to have Janet Rae Nesbitt, former co-owner of Buggy Barn Quilts in Reardan, Washington, coming to town to teach classes. As the owner of One Sister Designs, she continues to design fabrics and write books with fun and whimsical designs, featuring her signature Crazy piecing technique. Janet will be the guest speaker at Boise Basin Quilters the evening of Thursday, February 16 at 7:00 pm. Visit www.boisebasinquilters.org for more informa- tion about the meeting. Classes include lunch - yum! Piece Like Crazy: Crazy as it sounds, students can pick ANY crazy quilt from any One Sister or Buggy Barn publica- tion. That’s right - potentially, each student could be making a different quilt! In this fun class, students will learn Janet’s popular “Crazy” piecing technique (stacking fabric, cutting on the lines, shuffling, and stitching it all together). This trademark piecing method is easy and forgiving, ensuring success for sewers of all levels. The fun technique keeps you coming back for more, one quilt after another, and will keep you "piecing like crazy" long after the class is over! We will have a few kits available for purchase; please ask for details in January. Thursday, February 16, 10:30 am-5 pm Appliqué the One Sister Way: In this class, Janet will teach students how to do her needle-turn appliqué method, which includes NOT using pins! You’ll learn how to prepare the motifs for placement on the background, how to make sharp points and keep inner valleys from unraveling, as well as learning how to make bias for vines.
