Everyone is invited to join the Spring Valley Quilt Guild. The guild provides strong support and encouragement to central Indiana quilters. Quilters of all age groups are represented in the very active membership. While traditional quilting is the main focus of expression, newer techniques and ideas are constantly explored and presented at meetings. The guild's main fund raising event is the annual QUILTS IN THE PARK quilt show which is mounted inside the Pendleton Historical Museum the week after Labor Day each year. The show is open to all entrants in several categories of quilts and attracts quilters from all over the state of Indiana. One popular feature of the QUILTS IN THE PARK show is a special quilt created by guild members to be raffled at the show. The quilt shown below was raffled in our September 2011 show. It is an elaborate and beautiful star quilt specially created by the members to mark the guild's 30th Anniversary. Consisting entirely of retro fabrics the quilt showcases the abilities of the guild’s expert quilters. |
