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:02/19/26 - ReUse Market - Joan Scofield- Program
DESCRIPTION:Joanie Scofield from the ReUse Market will be talking about materials available at their Garden City store. As Joanie states\, quilting materials are NOT limited to just thread\, fabric and batting. Joanie hopes to encourage any of our Small Groups or possibly establish a new Small Group interested in including unconventional materials in their quilt projects focusing on sustainability. \nThose interested in participating in these small groups will be offered store credit for the purchase of materials. Store credit is available for the first thirty (30) registered participants. ReUse Market plans to offer cash prizes and awards within the small groups outside of the Sustainability awards they are sponsoring at our Quilt Show. \nWhile our Quilt Show has a well-defined Sustainability category\, these Small Group challenges may follow different guidelines and will be expected to follow our Small Group Challenge guidelines should they choose to exhibit their works at our upcoming Quilt Show. \nJoin us for the February 19th meeting to learn more about what treasures you might find at the ReUse Market. If unable to attend\, and you’re interested in joining these small groups\, please contact Joanie at  joanie@reusemarket.org

SUMMARY:Minimal Improv Workshop by Ashelyn Downs
DESCRIPTION:Cost for the workshop is $50.  Refunds for cancellations may be requested until May 1st. After that date\, registrations become nonrefundable . . . and any remaining openings will be made available to nonmembers.  This workshop will be held in the fellowship hall of the Boise Church of Christ\, 2000 N. El Dorado Street\, Boise. \n“Minimal improv is an intuitive piecing process that utilizes familiar and traditional block styles as accents while avoiding overly symmetrical or repetitious piecing. \nWhile many styles of improv quilting aim to reduce scraps from previous projects\, this process focuses on intentional fabric pulls (that can\, of course\, be scraps or yardage already in your stash) to create balanced and cohesive statements. \nWe avoid overcongestion and maximalism by choosing lower-volume fabrics and by “buffering” pieced elements from one another much like traditional sashing does for individual blocks. \nGet inspired by your fiber selections and let the art of improv quilting lead you to make your one-of-a-kind throw-sized quilt!” \nClick on this link for all the information you’ll need about the workshop\, including a supply list and guidance for fabric pulls: \nhttps://www.urbandwellstudio.com/workshops/improvworkshopguide

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:Journey by Collage - Jenny Satterthwait - Program 03/20/25
DESCRIPTION:Local quilter Jenny Satterthwaite will be the featured guest speaker at our March 2025 guild meeting. Collage has taken me on many journeys: from a photograph to a quilt; from cutting fabric to ‘painting’ with fabric; and from an accountant to an artist (or at least that is what it feels like for me). This lecture is about sharing those journeys in the hope that it will inspire you to take a new journey. \nMy collage quilts include using fusible (Laura Heine)\, using just fabric and glue (Susan Carlson)\, blending these two artists (Emily Taylor)\, and then taking some of each of these women to create my own process.

SUMMARY:"Finding Your Passion and Running with It" - Jean Impey - Program
DESCRIPTION:This will be BBQ’s first-ever “hybrid” guild meeting!  Please join us at the church as usual to hear our guest speaker on the big screen and be able to participate in all the usual activities available at in-person guild meetings.

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: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: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.
