Minnesota Quilters, Inc. Board of Directors

10/1/2015-9/30/2016

The Quilter of the Year for 2016 is Jeannie Spears, one of the Founding Mothers of our organization, and a quilter with a national and international impact on the art and craft of quilting. Jeannie began quilting in 1972 and much of her quilting career has involved sharing her skills and teaching others. She and a small group of women gathered in 1978 to

establish the Minnesota Quilters, Inc.In 1979, MN Quilters held its first national quilt show, where Jeannie and Pat Cox coordinated with the St. Paul Chamber of Commerce for the “Winter Fantasy” Show as a part of the Winter Carnival festivities. As an early pioneer in MN Quilters, Inc., she also co-chaired another MQ quilt show in 1985, and put on Quilter’s Retreats at Salvation Army Camp with Pat Cox and Helen Kelly to teach quilters. She self-published The Confidence Quilting Home Study Course and The Challenge of Teaching in 1980, and established Oliver Press to publish her work. She also founded and published The Professional Quilter Magazine, 1983-1993.

Jeannie was also active in the National Quilting Association, Inc. She was certified as Teacher of Basic Quiltmaking in 1980, and compiled and edited Teaching Basic Quiltmaking. She was certified as Quilt Judge in 1980. Always at the forefront of creativity in quilting activity, in 1987, she directed a group of quilters who made a quilt from Miriam Shapiro’s design for Whisper Minnesota, a performance art at the Crystal Court. The quilt is currently displayed in a museum in England.

She worked with the American Quilter’s Society, where she joined the staff of Quilter’s Newsletter Magazine in Colorado in 1991, and served as Senior Features Editor until retiring in 2000. Jeannie moved back to Minnesota and won the Minnesota Quilters Award for her Fine Arts entry at the State Fair in 2012. She has also won prestigious awards for her quilts including a Sweepstakes and First Place at the Minnesota State Fair, and blue ribbons at the Houston Quilt Festival and the NQA Annual Show, and is in the Quilter’s Hall of Fame there.

She has made numerous quilts for family, friends and the community at large. She has helped to judge quilts, and teach others to judge quilts all over the world, and with her husband Marv, she developed Soft Fabric Photos to allow quilters to put photos in their quilts. Her life career has promoted the Mission of MQ. When asked about her quilting life, Jeannie commented, “I am a quilter because I love fabric, pattern and design. For more than 40 years, quilting has offered an outlet for my creativity and a community I love to be a part of. I am thrilled to be MQ’s 2016 Quilter of the Year.”

Congratulations, Jeannie!

Mary Chalmers, Willmar MN - ”Prizewinning Quilts”Mary Chalmers has won 90-100 show ribbons in her quilting career. Her entry of “Vestments” into the large wallhanging category at the 2015 AQS Show in Paducah took first place; that same quilt has now won five other ribbons. Her quilts are larger in size (up to 80 x 100) and incorporate piecing, applique and embroidery. These are exquisite examples of traditional quilting; she will offer 15-20 quilts for viewing.

Thomas Knauer -”The Medium and the Message”Thomas Knauer writes the “Quilt Matters” column for Quilters Newsletter magazine. He says, “For me quilts are about translating the world around us into form; they reflect our ideas and experiences, our aspirations and anxieties. Each of the quilts in this exhibit speaks directly to some part of my world, whether it be a brief interaction with a child or a weighty political issue. They are first and foremost about telling our stories and speaking about the world around us.”

Ruby Short McKim - ”A Century of Designs Worth Doing: 1916-2016”Organized by Morgan Ashley Yeats and Rose Marie Werner; 2016 is the 100 year anniversary of the publication of Ruby Short McKim’s first design, the Bedtime Quilt – also known as the Quaddy Quilty. This exhibit is a retrospective look at the designs she created from 1916 through 1938. In all, Ruby created 64 original quilt designs.

Golden Thyme Quilters, St. Paul MN - ”Diversity of a Small Group”St. Paul, MN, is a large “small” town with many active neighborhoods dominated by the race and ethnicity of their history or settlement. Small neighborhood groups develop as a way of sharing community in city life. The Golden Thyme is a coffee shop in the heart of the Selby-Dale neighborhood, and the Golden Thyme quilters evolved around that shop. Our exhibit of 20 quilts and wall hangings will demonstrate the similarities and differences of a small, multi-cultural quilt group.

Voyage Art Textiles 2015 Collection - ”Abstracted Nature”Voyage Art Textiles is an internet group of 14 art quilters from 9 countries. This exhibition is the work of this group of textile artists drawn from around the world who vary in both their experience and in the nature of expression of their art. Each year a theme is chosen by the members and each artist creates pieces which express their own vision of that theme. In 2015 the theme is “Abstracted Nature”.

Stitched - ”Working In Series”Stitched is an international group of 10 fiber artists. Our aim is to create a body of work for exhibition purposes. Each artist chooses the theme of their own work and may continue that same theme for following years as well. Annually we will make 4 art quilts each in the size of 12” X 24”.

Minnesota Contemporary Quilters - ”Changing Times”Every spring, Minnesota Contemporary Quilters are challenged to make a small quilt, no larger than 36”x36”. The 2016-2017 inspiration for these quilts is the phrase “Changing Times”. Approximately thirty members will take the challenge and be inspired to come up with a quilt that they think best fits the phrase. Our members come up with very creative interpretations.

Minnesota Quilters, Inc. - ”Paint Chip Challenge”Quilters received an envelope with three paint chips chosen at random. All three of the paint chip colors had to be identifiable in the quilt and the paint chips had to be pinned at the bottom. They could add one other color and black and white to make a quilt or table runner.

Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild-”Minnesota Modern Inspiration”Taking the lead from local textile artist Cindy Lindgren’s “City of Lakes” fabric line, members of the Minneapolis Modern Quilt Guild designed a group quilt from fabrics that she generously donated to us. This quilt is the centerpiece for our Minnesota Quilt Show 2016 Special Exhibit. We challenged our members to create a quilted piece of work that was inspired from our home state of Minnesota.

Block Swappers Quilts - Blue Earth MNThese twelve quilts by the Block Swappers all started with the same 24 blocks- two blocks from each member-just like a traditional cookie exchange. From that point on, the quilters were on their own, free to add, subtract, slice or dice. Notice how the sashing and quilting choices influence the look of the final quilts. For this exchange the Block Swappers actually made 13 of each block. The thirteenth block went into the 2016 Raffle Quilt, which will be displayed at the MN Quilters Raffle Quilt Table.

Designing Innovative Visual Arts Sisterhood (DIVAS), Alexandria area, MN - ”Movement”This group of nine quilts was produced as a result of a challenge to interpret the word “Movement” in a 10 x 15 vertical format.

Lola Jenkins, Oklahoma City - ”Visionary Quilt Art”Lola Jenkins is a prize winning, self taught art quilter whose unique vision inspires quilters everywhere. Her portrait quilts, fantasy collages, silhouettes and thread art will inspire you to look at quilting in a new way.

“Stripes” - Glad Creations Quilt Block, Minneapolis MNOur annual staff challenge-Stripes. Each year we come up with a quilt project to challenge ourselves. As always, we’re a creative bunch and like to broaden the rules. We started out thinking about making quilts using striped fabric and along the way decided we should also include quilts that just made us think “Stripes!” This is a fun exhibit with lots of bold & bright designs.

Alphabet Challenge - Prior Lake Quilt Guild, Prior Lake MNWe created a collection of 27 quilts, each measuring 26” x 26” as a guild challenge. The rules for the 26 initial volunteers were easy: draw a random letter of the alphabet, and make a 26” x 26” quilt utilizing a technique, style, or pattern that starts with your letter. A 27th member of our guild stepped forward and made an additional quilt containing all 26 letters of the alphabet.

Pat Cox Applique Students -”Extraordinary Applique”Pat Cox is a nationally known quilting and applique teacher who over the years has taught her students to work in multiple techniques. Those working with her have exhibited dozens of exquisite quilts at Minnesota Quilters shows and 2016 will be no exception, when they will again show their extraordinary work.

Grubers Quilt Shop, St. Cloud -”Kona Color Explosion Challenge”The rules for this challenge allowed the participants to create quilts that were twenty-four inches square. The quilters were limited to a black background but could use the full range of the Kona solid color line. Twenty-one quilts were produced and will be shown.

To prevent quilts from dragging on the floor when hung, any quilt longer than 90” must have a secondary sleeve attached no higher than 90” from the bottom of the quilt. You may still have a primary sleeve at the top.

Removable Sleeve Option

Creating the sleeve(s) Cut (and piece, if necessary) a strip of fabric 9 inches tall and

the width of the finished quilt including binding. On the short ends, turn ¼” over twice to create a hem and stitch down. Fold the strip in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and press the

crease firmly. Open the strip. Bring one long unfinished edge to the pressed fold line in the center.

Press firmly. Repeat for the other long unfinished edge. Optional - To keep these long edges firmly creased, edge stitch along the long outside folds. Bring the long unfinished edges wrong sides together and stitch with a ¼”

seam to create a tube. Press this seam open. Do not turn the resulting tube.

Attaching the sleeve(s) to the quilt back Primary Sleeve

With the open seam against the quilts back, pin one long pressed edge just under the finished upper binding edge on the back of the quilt.

If your quilt is longer than 90” Create the secondary sleeve as instructed above. Lay out your quilt on a flat surface with the backing up. Measure 90 inches up from the bottom of your quilt and mark the backing. Do this in several

locations. Using your ruler, draw a chalk pencil line connecting the markings across the quilt back. Center the tube, and place the top edge of the tube along the marked line. The tube’s unfinished

seam faces the quilt. Pin the tube securely in place.

Hand stitch the top edge of the sleeve(s) to the back of your quilt. Tack the ends of the sleeve(s) in place so it cannot be lifted from the quilt. Hand stitch the bottom of the sleeve(s) in place.

Permanent Sleeve Option

Complete before binding is hand sewn to the back of the quilt.

Machine sew the binding as you usually would to the front of the quilt. Cut (and piece, if necessary) a strip of fabric 9 inches tall and the width of the finished quilt. On the short ends, turn ¼” over twice to create a hem and stitch down. Fold the strip lengthwise, wrong sides together, bringing one raw edge up to an inch below the other long

edge. Press the folded edge well. To keep this long edges firmly creased, edge stitch along the long outside fold. Center the folded strip along the top edge of the quilt, against the backing, aligning its matched raw edges

with the edge of the quilt. Have the side of the tube with the “bump” or extra fabric facing out. Pin the layers keeping the binding out of the way so you do not sew over it.

From the front, machine sew the sleeve to the quilt on the existing stitching line. Tack the ends of the sleeve in place so it cannot be lifted from the quilt Hand stitch the bottom of the sleeve in place Hand sew the binding over the raw edges of the tube.
