SUMMARY:BBQ Membership Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Dating Quilts\nby Joyce Shoemaker\, a representative of the Quilt Heritage Museum and an AQS Textile Appraiser \nThis presentation will cover an array of aspects which speak to many quilt eras. We will discuss clues to dating fabrics including fabric colors\, blocks\, styles\, popular trends\, and edge finishes\, to name a few. Viewers will see a number of Quilt Heritage Museum collection quilts representing different quilt time periods. Attendees are invited to bring a quilt of their own to get answers as to its circa date. \nJoyce has been a quilter for nearly three decades. In 2007\, she travelled to Paducah\, KY\, to take the exams\, and became an American Quilters’ Society Certified Textile Appraiser. Before that\, she presented quilting workshops on a variety of techniques in five Western states. Her personal quilts are heavily influenced by the array of nature and wildlife she sees while growing alfalfa on her farm in eastern Idaho.

SUMMARY:Carolyn Hutchinson-It's Magic! -- BBQ Membership Meeting and Program
DESCRIPTION:Carolyn Hutchinson\, owner and designer of Carolyn’s In Stitches will be sharing a “Mini\nTrunk Show”\, highlighting her series of patterns called “Magic Tricks”. Her designs are a\ncombination of traditional and modern. Many of her designs came from asking “What if…?”\nThis series of patterns is the perfect example. Attempting to simplify the piecing of a\ncomplicated design\, Carolyn created a technique that rendered a totally unexpected block.\nWhile the created block was initially not the desired result\, and some would have cast them\naside and started over\, she continued to play “What if?” \nThe result was the first quilt in this series called\, “Windfarm”. Continuing to experiment with\ncolor selection\, strip rotation and different combinations of both\, six additional quilts\nemerged. \nAll of these designs are made from a combination of 2 ½” and 5” strips\, with no small pieces.\nAfter the first seven in this series were published\, Carolyn experimented with using only 2\n½” strips and three additional patterns were “born”. These patterns were just released at\nher Spring Retreat. \nWhile Carolyn used lots of geometry and math in creating and writing these patterns\, all the\nhard work has been done\, leaving only very easy piecing that goes together quickly. Two of\nthe patterns\, “Hinged” and “Line Dancing” make two different quilts at the same time. \nIt’s Magic!

SUMMARY:The Magic of Foundation Paper Piecing - Nancy Messuri - 10/17/24
DESCRIPTION:Nancy Messuri is a self-employed Idaho-based quilt designer. Paper copies of her patterns are available through https://quiltwoman.com and pdf patterns through her website\, https://nancymessuridesigns.com. \nFoundation paper piecing is Nancy’s go-to method of constructing blocks and Electric Quilt 8 is her favorite design platform. Her trademark is intricate designs that require careful piecing\, but she sometimes breaks out of that mold with a less complex design when the mood strikes. \nIn 2023\, Nancy was selected to be a Benartex Ambassador along with ten other designers. As an ambassador for the international fabric supplier\, Nancy designed numerous products to be featured in Benartex publications and assisted in the Benartex booth at the Missouri Star Quilt Festival. Her relationship with Benartex as a designer continues to this day.  \nNancy’s quilt Criss Cross Stars was selected as the signature quilt for the 2023 International Quilt Festival Long Beach and was prominently featured on the cover of the program and all advertising materials. Along with Criss Cross Stars\, her quilt\, Ripple Effect\, hung at the 2023 International Quilt Festival Houston and was used extensively in promotions of that show. In addition\, her quilt\, Spinning Song\, will be hanging at International Quilt Festival 2024

SUMMARY:Riley Blake Fabrics by Jami Herndon 05/15/25
DESCRIPTION:Guild member Jami Herndon will share a little bit with us about her job as a representative for Riley Blake Fabrics. Jami says\, \n“Have you ever considered how a shop decides which fabrics to carry and how to promote them? I would love to show you the process that a shop goes through in making the decisions that result in the fabrics you get to see when you enter their shop. This will be just a little insight into how much work goes into choosing just the right pieces for each individual shop. Come take a back door peek at the exchange between a shop owner and a fabric rep – you might even take home some of the samples!”

SUMMARY:"Large Scale Minimal" by Ashelyn Downs BBQ Membership Meeting Program
DESCRIPTION:Ashelyn Downs found her sewing experience\, pattern writing\, and design background culminating in the creation of beginner-friendly quilt patterns that represent the styles and spaces of the people who get to use them. \nPulling from the full evolution of 20th-century architecture\, 90’s grunge\, street art\, travel\, and pop culture\, she combines minimalist color palettes and artistic concepts in her work\, which she hopes will inspire the next generation to value and pursue the art of quilting. \nAshelyn describes her presentation this way: \nThe trunk show/presentation includes a dozen projects featuring my improv process\, fabric selection process\, a breakdown demonstration of how I assemble my “blocks”\, a Q&A time allotment\, and take-home documents with the basic tips and outline of my process.”

SUMMARY:"Quilts Feed My Soul" Program: 2025 Quilt Show Featured Quilter - Maureen Stevens
DESCRIPTION:Maureen Stevens is the guild’s featured quilter for 2025. Her quilts will be displayed in a special exhibit at our quilt show\, and her quilting journey is the featured presentation of tonight’s program. Maureen says\, \n“I was born and raised on a farm in Wendell\, Idaho.  I’m the middle child of seven but the oldest girl. I attended BYU and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Interior Design.  I got married that summer and we moved to Oregon where we lived for the next 8 years where my husband went to school.  We moved to Boise in 1982 and have lived in the same neighborhood (but not the same house) ever since.  I have 5 children; 3 girls and 2 boys. Those children have given me 14 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren and they live in Oregon\, Texas\, Virginia\, North Carolina and Rexburg\, Idaho. I’m very active in my church and it plays a big part in my life. \nI have always loved fabric.  I learned to sew in Jr. High and made all my own clothes up until the patterns didn’t fit anymore (isn’t that a strange thing?) I made clothes for my children and some for my husband and formals for my daughters and even their wedding dresses. \nI started quilting in 1997. I decided I was going to do it right so I took a beginning quilting class from The Quilt Crossing.  From there I learned about Boise Basin Quilters so I came to my first guild meeting sometime in the spring of 1998.  I joined a small quilt group and I haven’t stopped since.  I have learned so much from BBQ and my fellow quilters. Some of you are my dearest friends.  I’ve taken lots of classes and tried new things. I have served in various capacities and been on numerous committees\, designed patterns for the website and  taught Schoolhouse classes. \nMoslih Eddin Saadi wrote: \n“If of thy mortal goods thou art bereft\,\nAnd from thy slender store two loaves are left\,\nSell one\, and with the dole\nBuy hyacinths to feed the soul.” \nTo me quilts are the hyacinths that feed my soul.  I could not survive if I didn’t have quilting as a creative outlet.  I need the friendships and the love that you\, my fellow quilters give me. I feel so honored and blessed to be a part of this quilting community.”

SUMMARY:Judith Phelps Guild Presentation/Trunk Show - Program 10/16/25
DESCRIPTION:Judith Phelps\, of Battle Ground\, Washington\, is an award-winning art quilter who often incorporates a combination of techniques such as applique\, paint\, thread painting\, piecing\, and 3D objects to produce unique and eye-catching pieces. \nThe workshops that she has planned for the BBQ guild focus on two of her favorite techniques: hand painting a fabric piece from a photo and then thread painting it. Here are two beautiful examples of quilts that Judith has made using these techniques: “Solitude” and “Horse with No Name.” Both of these pieces were created for themes from the Storytellers Group\, of which she is an active member.

SUMMARY:03/19/26 - Gems & Joy: Featuring the Gem Quilts of MJ Kinman Program
DESCRIPTION:When people ask MJ Kinman what she does\, she likes to tell them\, “I make the biggest diamonds in the world . . . but instead of using the hardest substance on earth\, I use the softest– cloth!” \nMJ says\, “The most beautiful gemstones capture light and reflect it back to us with unique brilliance\, revealing their fiery personalities. Every gem has a story to tell…just like people. \nThis slide lecture and trunk show chronicle my own story – my 25+-year adventure learning how to create the world’s biggest diamonds in cloth. Most importantly\, though\, the underlying message to my audiences throughout my presentation is the importance of choosing joy and saying “no” to fear\, both in our creative lives and in our personal lives. \nDuring my presentation\, I’ll discuss how I’ve learned to spot gemstones with personality – the unique configuration of light and color that translate into a successful work of art. I’ll discuss my techniques to create and assemble the hundreds of pieces in each diamond\, materials I use to create the wash of color and light across a gem’s surface\, and the quilting techniques that enhance a gem’s facets. We may even talk a little bit (maybe a lot) about Kentucky Bourbon\, as I describe the gem quilts in my series “Bourbon Diamonds”! \nAnd as so often happens with any artist’s decades-long journey\, I’ll share insights gleaned from my walk away from corporate life and into the creative life.” \nMJ has been featured in many of the world’s top quilting magazines. Her work is included in collections as varied as Maker’s Mark Distillery\, the National Quilt Museum in Paducah\, KY (where she has also taught workshops and had a solo show) and the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln\, NE. We are honored to have her here in Boise! \nWebsite: mjkinman.com

SUMMARY:08/20/26 Modern Quilting: A Twist on Tradition - Darla Christiansen - Programs
DESCRIPTION:Explore characteristics of Modern Quilting\, and find out how a modern approach to quilting is\, in many ways\, a twist on tradition. See quilts that have been exhibited at QuiltCon in a slide presentation\, followed by a trunk show with members of the Boise Modern Quilt Guild. \nDarla Christiansen is a Boise native and a past president of the Boise MQG. Her quilt making leans heavily toward scrappy and she often uses rescued fabrics that otherwise might be destined for the landfill. She delights in the challenge of creating beautiful things from others’ discards\, and describes her process as design-build. When she’s not sewing (which is most of the time)\, you’ll find Darla on her bike\, in a kayak\, tending to her yard\, feeding the cat and finding outdoor adventures with her husband.

SUMMARY:10/15/26 Post Modern Quilting by Joe Cunningham (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Joe Cunningham has been a professional quilt artist since 1979. He began making quilts in his hometown of Flint\, Michigan; eventually moving to San Francisco where he lives with his wife\, Carol LeMaitre\, above her Pilates studio\, and maintains a gallery/ studio to make and show his quilts. Joe travels the world to show quilts and teach\, as well as teaching his popular online classes from his studio. He has written ten quiltmaking books\, and his quilts are in the permanent collections of several museums. \nHere’s how Joe describes “Post Modern Quiltmaking\,” the lecture he’ll be giving at BBQ: \nWe all know what “Modern” quilt making is. Sort of. Now that Modern Quilts have been around for a while the world is starting to move on\, or maybe it’s just me. In this lecture I’ll talk about Modern Quilts and how they have influenced the wider quilt world\, and explain how I have come to find my own style of “Post” Modern quiltmaking. With lots of examples and time for questions\, this is a crowd favorite. \nFor more info about Joe and his quilts\, please visit his website at joecunninghamquilts.com .
