We are back in beautiful St. Cloud, MN, along the riverway for the 2016 show
and on behalf of Minnesota Quilters, Inc I want to thank you for reviewing and
then hopefully choosing to come to our show. We are a volunteer driven
organization and our show rotates around the state to various venues, yet each
show offers you the best of what we can make available in terms of teachers,

As you can see from this booklet, our volunteer teams and show coordinators
have already been hard at work to make the 2016 show memorable for you.

special exhibits, and by all means, bring comfortable shoes!!

Quilter of the Year - Jeannie Spears
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!

Minnesota Quilters Raffle Quilt
“Contemporary Amish Sampler”
This queen sized quilt is made of Kona Cotton solids by

This picture does not do the quilt justice!

Minnesota Quilters, Inc. uses the proceeds from the raffle
quilt to support its mission to celebrate the art of quilting.

Quilt Show and Conference in St. Cloud.

Special Exhibits
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.
Registration Book
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 MN
These 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 MN
Our 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 MN
We 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.

2016 MQ President’s Challenge:
“Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly” ... Anonymous
The Neighborhood House/East Side Family Center hosts a community wide baby shower for babies born to families that are
connected to the agency in some way, whether for family therapy, financial training, food shelf usage, or other family centered
needs. They give out about 45 quilts a year. They are nearly out of quilts and substituting knit blankets but the moms like quilts
better!
Our challenge is for you to make a baby sized (no bigger than 45”x45” or smaller than 36”x36”) quilt that you are willing to donate
to the Community Baby Showers after the show is over. The quilt should be made of butterfly fabric, or use a butterfly pattern, or
quilted with butterflies, or even in the shape of a butterfly. The quilts will be a Special Exhibit at our 2016 show before we donate
them.
Use the Non-Judged entry form on page 10 to register your baby quilt.
Thank you for caring about these families!

Quilt Exhibits - General Overview
Non-Judged Exhibit
Are you considering displaying a quilt in the 2016 St. Cloud
Show? First, decide whether you want to receive professional
judged feedback and be eligible for competitive prizes (Judged
Competition) or if you would simply like to display and share
your quilt (Non-Judged Exhibit). Once decided, read through
and follow the instructions provided in this booklet for the selected
category.
This Exhibit gives quilters a place to share quilts they’ve enjoyed
creating -- whether it’s their interpretation of a pattern, their results
of a group exchange, challenge or mystery, a kit, or a special gift
they’ve made. Because of the unlimited variety, these quilts offer
inspiration and ideas to all levels of quilting.
Non-Judged Quilt details follow.
Judged Quilt descriptions begin on page 11.

W17P: Intro to Easy Draw
Kari Schell
Have you ever found the “perfect” block
online, but then realized you wanted to
piece it a different way. Maybe you
want rotary cutting instructions or a
foundation pattern. Or maybe you
want a different size to incorporate into
a different quilt. With Electric Quilt you
can redraft these blocks. This class will
focus on how to “read a block” and then
come up with the most efficient way to
draft it with Electric Quilt. The blocks
in this class are those that can be done
in a “grid” format – basically just like
drawing with a pencil and graph paper. Within Electric Quilt these blocks are
drafted within Easy Draw. Laptop with EQ7 installed required.
Skill Level: Previous experience with EQ7
W06D: Beaded Kaleidoscopes

covered in this workshop will give you
new ideas for adding sparkling beaded
texture to your art quilts.

go, without a pattern to follow. You
will experiment with line, shape and
proportion in creating an original
design. You will learn how different line
placement and value choices can affect
your work. Bring colors that interact
well but provide contrast. There is no
set size for the finished piece, so make
a table runner or lap size quilt... it’s a
great class to learn a new technique.

S19A: Hooked on Feathers
Sally Terry
Quilting defines the quilt top, and
feathering defines the quilter. But just
try to stitch them flawlessly without
overlapping your stitches, with exact
turned corners, perfectly mirrored
shapes, and taking the time to draft a
design, forget it. With this new feather
technique all that has changed. Based
on one simple shape, the hook, feathers are as elegant as they are easy to
stitch. Experience how to stitch corner turns without even trying, without
drafting a design, for beautiful borders, sashings, blocks and small fills.
Starting simple then embellishing your
feathers for intricate detail using one
simple technique for more detailed patterns. Learn how to get different looks
plus combine them with other feathering elements for even more exciting
texture to fit the style and area of the
quilt top. Discover feathers actually
stitch better when using free motion
than following a pattern. You will love
this method for glorious, fun, no-mark,
non-backtracking, feathering. Pattern

Sally Terry
It is truly free motion freedom when
you can confidently make it up as you

meander pattern then take the design
elements in the pattern to free motion
feather. Experience the four main
feather types, learn their thread paths
and which one works better in certain
areas. This will eliminate drafting and
extensive marking. Whether you want
your feathers to be large or small to
fit a space, turn endless corners on a
serpentine spine for fills and meanders,
or stitch them consistently straight as
an arrow in a sashing; you will know
which feather to use and how to lay it
out. It is easier than you think. In fact
it is easier to free motion feathers than
to precisely follow a pattern. Learn
how to make your feathers even more
graceful. Discover how to start and
stop without having to use a piecing
seam and lots more tips and tricks.

for traditional to modern quilt styles.

Quilt Hanging Sleeve Instructions
Sleeve
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.
Secondary Sleeve

 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.

Volunteer Form
Our show is brought to you by volunteers. YOU are the most valued and treasured resource Minnesota Quilters
has. It will take over 600 volunteers working together to put on the successful quilt show in June 2016. Each
volunteer with 2 hours of service will receive a Volunteer Pin as a token of appreciation for time given. We
have volunteer shifts ranging from one to four hours and can start on the half hour, so you will have more
opportunities to volunteer and enjoy the show. For each two hours of service, your name will be entered into
daily prize drawings. In addition, your name will be entered into the drawing for the Grand Prize of a sewing
machine.
