President’s Welcome:
Welcome to Amador Valley Quilters. We are a quilt guild that honors the past and looks to the future. Our activities include making quilts for charity, with many friendship groups dedicated to that end. We also have friendship groups dedicated to learning new methods that challenge the most experienced sewer. Each month we have a speaker who is a nationally known teacher. Quilters can take the workshop the following day in order to learn new skills. Please be our guest at a meeting. We welcome quilters of all levels and all men and women interested in textiles and quilts.
Jan Steinhoff

February Speaker – Joe Wood 
Joe has been involved in quilting for 11 years. Joe attended the California School of Professional Fabric Design. In his lecture, entitled “The Art of Quilting,” he will talk about how quilting evolved from being utilitarian into an art form. He will also address questions regarding the business of quilting, followed by a trunk show of his quilts. Besides being the co-owner (with his wife, Roxie) of ThimbleCreek Quilt Shop in Concord, he has a pattern company, ThimbleCreek Quilts. He has also designed a line of fabric for Moda Fabrics.
