November Meeting.

Attention:  There was no turkey served at November's meeting (for those of you who decided not to come to November's meeting for fear that you would be forced to eat yet another turkey this month).

Instead we had a lot of fun.  Here's what you missed:

Lynn was out of town (where she was not eating turkey, but was eating tacos and enchiladas), so Nickie ran the meeting.  Thank you Nickie!

Cheryl, Sue G, Rosemary and Carroll Lee gave us a slide presentation of their trip to SLC to see the museum/home of Pilar Pobil, the"Sew Bewitching" Utah Quilt Guild Quilt Fest 2019 and the Springville Art Museum (SAM).  Here are some selected photos from the museum show.

If you are interested in entering a quilt in the Utah Quilt Guild's Quilt Fest 2020, the theme is "Alice in Quiltland".  There are three different challenge categories you can enter that look fabulous.  Here is the link for that information:Alice in Quiltville Challenge info.

Sylvia Lewis and Team Styler Gilgen both showed quilts at the SAM.  Here they are in all their glory:
Team Gilgen Styler:

Remembering Old Nauvoo

Cheryl's holding her right arm funny cuz I hit her.🙌  One more thing about Cheryl.  In the process of making this quilt she gound out her family lived in Old Nauvoo.  If you get a chance ask these ladies about the quilt, how it was constructed and where they got the idea.  Particularly about the book.  If you missed seeing this in person -   Big mistake.  See ya next meeting!!

Sylvia's Entries (she didn't bring them to the meeting).  They are too interesting and beautiful not to be enjoyed:

Crooked House

and

Sego Lily

Beautiful, hard work ladies.  Very inspiring!

If you are interested in visiting Pilar Pobil's house (All 4 ladies who went said it was the highlight of the trip and their photos bore that out), click on her name above and contact her foundation.  BUT  If anyone happens to be in Salt Lake City on December 6th, she is holding an open house from 4-9 pm, a visit to this wonderful artist's home for this open house would be an event to not be forgotten.  Here is the link for the open house info.  No appointment necessary.  To give you a taste of her home, here is an interview with Pilar down in her burial chamber

If you would like to teach a class or do a presentation, you do not need to be an expert.  Call Lynn (or shoot her an email) to set it up.  We have 2 months available.

Reminders and upcmoing due dates:

• Do not forget to get you 9x12 or smaller piece in to Rosemary for the gallery show ASAP.  It requires a sleeve (you were mailed instructions for constructing a sleeve). We didn't make the last show that Alicia set for us, so let's try to get our pieces in for a show.  It is a great opportunity to show our community what we are doing!
• Pillow Challenge due date March 2020. 

Show and Tell
Prescript: Ann N brought pillows for the challenge.  She is an overachiever and finished well before anyone else.  I am saving those pictures of her pillows for the pillow challenge roundup.

Sylvia brought several items for us to enjoy

From Joe Cunningham Class

Frankenscarf Project.  Aptly Named.

Next, Janey's Tony Whitney Giraffe (with baby).

The next meeting is December 3 at Janey's club house as usual.  Bring a dish to share.  December's meeting has always been loads of fun so we hope to see you there!  I will send out a reminder.

See ya next month!  Happy Thanksgiving!
