PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
|
|
Last month I mentioned that I am making doll quilts to accompany wooden cradles that will be used as Christmas gift. I have received several quilts and calls asking about the size of the doll quilts. I am making them around 18" X 24". Yes, you can send them to the Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame at P.O. Box 26064 Tucson AZ 85726.
I think that when we live in Arizona we realize that the climate varies throughout the State. But, I didn't realize how much it differs until last weekend. I heard a friend ask a Sun City resident when she would be moving up to Prescott for the summer. She replied, as soon as we eat the last few tomatoes off our plants. Here in Prescott I just put the tomato plants in the ground. We won't be eating the last few until October.
On Friday and Saturday June 22 and 23 the Arizona History Museum will be hosting a quilt documentation workshop and Quilt Documentation Day. Friday you can take part in a free workshop learning how to document quilts and Saturday you can bring your quilt for documentation. Call Laraine Daly Jones at 520-617-1179 or

for information about both days. Quilt documentation is currently being done once a year in Prescott at Sharlot Hall Museum. It is our hope that we can train more people about documentation and then have documentation days a couple of times each year throughout the State. There is a charge to have your quilt documented and reservations are necessary.
May 14 is the deadline to have your nomination forms received at Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame post office box: P.O. Box 26064 Tucson AZ 85726. Both the Nominations for 2012 Inductees and Arizona Quilt Shop of the Year must be in by this date.
Happy Quilting
