I grew up in the Midwest. We had a saying, “March comes in like a lion, but goes out like a lamb.” It was meant to remind us that March meant the arrival of Spring-like weather and warmer temperatures. This winter has been such a challenge for parts of our state! I hope this saying holds true for Arizona as well! 

Check out our event calendar. There’s plenty of activities for this month! If your quilt group is sponsoring a show or exhibit, send us your information as soon as you can - you can submit directly on this web site. We’re happy to include your event here too!

Be thinking of who you will nominate for inclusion in Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame. Nomination forms are now available. While anyone may nominate a deserving quilter for inclusion in the Hall of Fame, if you want to vote, you must be a Friend of Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame. Make your friendship donation today!

See you at the quilt show!

Detail, THE CHRISTMAS QUILT, by Diana Enderley

Congratulations to Diana Enderley, the recipient of the Hall of Fame Award from Copper Country Quilters, Globe. Meet Diana and read more on the Hall of Fame Award Winners Page. Any quilt show or exhibit in the state may participate in the program and award this recognition.

Nomination forms for the Class of 2010 are now available and will be accepted between March 15 and May 15, 2010. Friends of Arizona Quilters Hall of Fame will receive a summary of ALL those nominated for inclusion in the Hall of Fame. Friends will vote for whom they believe to be most deserving of consideration. The Board of Directors, taking these votes into consideration, will then make the final determination on who will be included in the Class of 2010. The inductee receiving the highest number of Friends’ votes will be designated the 2010 “Friends’ Favorite” and their recognition will be so inscribed. Anyone may nominate a deserving Arizona quilter for the Hall of Fame, but, to vote you must be a Friend.

The Class of 2010 will be formally inducted into the Hall of Fame at our Annual Induction Luncheon, Sunday, September 26. The event, being held at the Fiesta Resort and Conference Center, Tempe, will feature a three course, plated and served luncheon; an exhibit of Hall of Fame Award-Winning quilts; and vignettes showcasing the work of the Class of 2010.
