Do
you have old or new quilts, quilt tops, orphan
block sets, fabric packs, patterns, or other
quilting-related items that
you would like to sell? The Festival is
seeking such items for sale during the
show. For information please write, VQF
Consignment Sales, PO Box 797, St.
Johnsbury, VT 05819.
Please note: Because of space
limitations, VQF can't accept craft and
home dec items (e.g. dolls with
crocheted clothing, Kleenex holders,
jewelry, etc.) The item MUST
be something a quilter could/would use
in the creative process.
Appraisals
Owners
of antique quilts (made
prior to 1960) may have the
quilts appraised on Saturday, June 28 from 9:00
a.m.
and 5:00
p.m.,
in Conference Room "A" in
the Blue Ribbon Pavilion at the
Champlain Valley Expo,
Essex Junction,
VT. The charge for a
written appraisal with a photograph
of the quilt is $35.00
per quilt. No appointment is
necessary. Our staff
appraiser, Carolyn Fernandez,
will be on hand to
help you learn the value of
your antique quilts.
Our
four contest judges-- Libby Lehman, Judy Mathieson, Anita Shackelford, and Helen Marshall (miniatures)-- will address
current trends and concerns
directly related to quilt making
today. They
will also share their
observations and provide general
feedback on the contest. The
panel will be held Friday,
June 27
from 4:30
p.m.
to 5:30
p.m.
Admission is free to VQF
contestants; for all others,
admission is $5. The panel will
be held in Conference Room
"A" in the Blue Ribbon
Pavilion at the Champlain Valley
Expo,
Essex Junction,
VT. There is usually
time for questions, and often
the forum provides new insights
into competition and what
judges look for in a winning
entry.
Young
Quilter Classes
This
year, VQF is pleased to offer
classes for young quilters
taught by Kea Kohlmeyer of
Richmond, Vermont.
The two
classes will be held on
Saturday
and cost $20 per
class. Sewing
machines will be provided by Strawberry
and Rhubarb of Williston,
Vermont for student use. Although
there is no registration fee,
a registration form must be
filled out to obtain a space
in class.
Sign up early as space
is limited.
Each student will
receive a Festival Tote Bag
Each
year the Ninigrit Quilters send
Barbara Barber and Rose Koretski
to VQF with a quilting project
or two. Meet Rose and
Barbara at the Sit and Quilt
area
at the Champlain Valley Expo. Sit
down, chat awhile, meet some old
friends and make some new ones
while you put a few stitches of
your own into the quilt.
