GVQC member, Bev Kondolf, treated us with a trunk show displaying her quilting journey from the traditional to the fiber arts and contemporary quilts she enjoys making today.  Bev has been a hand piecer and hand quilter, as well as machine piecing and machine quilting.  She has entered a number of shows, been juried into several shows, and won ribbons at a number of these quilt shows, including Genesee Valley QuiltFest.

Bev has been a member of GVQC for many years, volunteered in many capacities, was president of the club, and co-chair of several QuiltFests.

See some of her quilts in the slide show below.

Antique quilts for sale at the June meeting.  A collection of antique quilts, gifted to GVQC from Bette Blakeney and made by her great-grandmother, Louise Patterson, are for sale.  There are two tops, the rest are quilted.  Quilts vary in size with some dating back to the early 1900's.
