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.

March speaker – Judy Sisneros
Our speaker this month is known for her relaxed approach to her workshops and for her interesting and informative lectures. Besides sharing her quilts in a trunk show, she will do a special presentation – a 20 minute talk on her Cambodia trip. She describes her experience on her website as ”… a 3 week trip to Cambodia with my friend Susie Ernst, where we taught hand-quilting to young girls who have been rescued from the sex slave trade. This was both the most difficult and most rewarding thing I have ever done, and do I have stories and photos to share!” $100.00 of her lecture fee will go to help the girls in Cambodia.
