Signature Quilts: Precious Memories
Scotti McCarthy from the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum will delight us with a trunk show and slide show called Signature Quilts: Precious Memories.
Friendship quilts brought precious memories to their recipients. There were many varieties of signature quilts, those made for friends traveling to faraway places and quilts made for weddings, births, deaths, and fundraising purposes. Quilt historians look to these quilts as personal histories with beautiful stories. Learn research techniques and how to enjoy the past through signature quilts.

Susan Sears Trunk Show
Susan Sears has been a longtime seamstress, needle worker and quilter beginning her quilting projects in the 1970’s and has blossomed after winning awards with her double knit, pre-quilted fabric, and denim jeans quilts in multiple states. She began teaching quilting classes in Liberal, Kansas and has continued teaching in her newest quilting community in Longmont, Colorado since 2008. Susan has been a Judy Niemeyer/Quiltworx Certified Instructor since 2015 teaching others Judy’s paper piecing process and patterns that she enjoys making so much. The best part of teaching is when the students finish their quilts and tell me “I didn’t think it would go together BUT it did!”. Susan is delighted to share some of her beautiful quilts with us during her trunk show.
