Best of Show, Quilt Show XVII
Point Imperial, Grand Canyon, North Rim Ann Robertson Description: In August, 2019, I took this photo of the Grand Canyon. I had the image blown up to poster size and used a line drawing of the landscape features to make pattern pieces for the various fabrics. I fused, layered, and free-motion machine quilted the shapes. Lastly, I highlighted some of the features with paints. MembershipMembership is open to all. We welcome both beginners and experienced quilters.

Quilting in CharlottesvilleCharlottesville Area Quilters Guild is a recreational, educational club. Its purpose is to unite area quilters, to support a common interest in quilting, to further the appreciation of quilts and quilting in general, and to educate the community in the art and history of quilting. The Guild as a whole meets twice a year, while its four chapters meet weekly or bi-weekly.
The Guild has held a public show of members' work in odd-numbered years. Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the show has shifted to even-numbered years. The next show will be in Spring 2024. The Guild also hosts yearly workshops with nationally known teachers and monthly mini-workshops that draw from the Guild's talented pool of quilters. In addition, it serves as an educational organization, preserving the art of quilting and sharing it with the community. The Guild is active in many service projects providing quilts for comfort, beauty, and fund-raising efforts. A more detailed history of the Guild is available here. The March 2023 Guild Newsletter, Quilting Lines, is now available in its entirety online. Just click the link below!
