Extreme Quilting
Can a quilt guild
match "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" at its own game?
The
Miami Valley Quilters' Guild took on the challenge of
creating seven quilts for the James Terpenning Family of
Beavercreek, Ohio, when they were announced as the fortunate
family to receive a newly constructed home as part of the
2009 season of the television series "Extreme Makeover: Home
Edition." For the television show, a family is selected to
receive a new home which is constructed within a one-week
timeframe. The Miami Valley Quilters' Guild wanted to
do a special community project and took on an exciting
challenge.

Valley Quilters' Guild
An Ohio Quilt Guild
for Quilters and Fabric Artists in Dayton and Southwest Ohio
The
Miami Valley Quilters' Guild is more than just a club, we are
a diverse group with more than 200 members from all areas of
interest and all quilting skill
levels. Members include quilters, quilt collectors,
quilting teachers, designers and those simply interested in the
art and craft of quilting. Members of the group have varied
interests: traditional quilts and fabric art - hand piecing and
machine work - long-arm machine quilting, home machine quilting
and, of course, hand quilting.
As do other quilt guilds, clubs, and groups in Ohio, the Miami
Valley Quilters' Guild
provides quilters with education and instruction through classes and workshops;
inspiration and
growth through meetings featuring accomplished quilters, quilt designers,
and
quilting teachers;
fellowship and support through meetings, retreats, programs, our newsletter, and
our website; and encouragement and recognition through quilt shows, show-and-tell sessions,
challenges, charitable activities, and other
events. We join other Ohio quilt guilds in promoting the history
and tradition of quilting and embrace all quilting techniques, styles, and
methods.
