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

| Crooked House |

| Sego Lily |
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
Upcoming Meeting and Class Information:
December: Potluck. Please bring any dish you'd like to share. Tina Cox will be giving a felting presentation.
January: Lecture/Class on Weaving
February: Art Perspective Royden Card
March: Not nailed down yet
April: Color Theory with Janey Argyle*
May: Collage Quilting with Sylvia Lewis
*Color theory might be moved if we can get Joe Cunningham (Joe the Quilter) in for a class on April 24-26. Stay tuned.
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.
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

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!
