National Quilting Association
Features
Extreme Quilting with the Miami
Valley Quilters
The Spring 2010 issue of The
Quilting Quarterly, the journal of the National Quilting
Association (NQA) includes a four-page "Chapter Report" feature
of the Miami Valley Quilters' Guild's "Extreme Quilting" project
of preparing quilts for the James Terpenning family of
Beavercreek when they were the recipients of a new home in
August 2009 as part of the ABC Television series "Extreme
Makeover: Home Edition." The article includes a narrative
of the Guild's efforts and three pages of Guild members at
work on the seven quilts created in less than the week it took
Ty Pennington and crew to construct the new home. The Quilting
Quarterly is mailed to NQA members and is available at selected
retail outlets.

An Ohio Quilt Guild
for Quilters and Fabric Artists in Dayton and Southwest Ohio
Miami
Valley Quilters' Guild
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, collectors of quilts, quilting teachers, designers and
those simply interested in the art and craft of quilting. Our
members come from throughout the Miami Valley Region of
Southwest Ohio – the Dayton/Springfield Metro area including
suburbs and communities such as
Huber Heights, Englewood, Tipp City, Vandalia, Kettering,
Oakwood, Beavercreek, Xenia, Fairborn, and Yellow Springs
in Montgomery, Clark, Greene, and Preble counties and beyond.
Our members 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, shows, 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.
The Miami Valley Quilters' Guild proudly presents
recent examples of quilting by its members in a biennial quilt
show. One of the best quilt shows in Ohio, the show is held in
May even-numbered years at the Greene County Fairgrounds in
Xenia. The 2012 show will be Friday and Saturday, May
4and 5.
We meet at 7:00 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the
month at the Fairborn Senior Center, 325 North Third Street,
Fairborn, Ohio. Annual dues of $20 includes attendance at
meetings, access to our monthly newsletter, electronic services
through our website and e-mail lists, reduced fees for classes
and workshops, library privileges, eligibility for our annual
retreat, exhibiting your quilts in our biennial membership
shows, and much more, particularly the fellowship of fellow
quilters. Visitors are welcome to attend meetings. There is a
$5.00 fee for non-members at programs featuring professional
speakers.
