DQN Scholarship Winner   

DQN President Bobbie Stember and DQN 2010 Scholarship Recipient Shea Nicholas. She was awarded $500.00 scholarship.

Shea is one of the seven candidates for Valedictorian at LVA.  She will be attending Southern Utah University in Cedar City.  She is studying costume design.  Her teacher says she is an accomplished seamstress.  Cedar is the home of a very large community of Shakespeare participants so I am sure she will get plenty of experience with design, color, textures and precision sewing.  

Betty Johnson the brainchild of our Scholarship has agreed to take on the enjoyable task of building a program environment that will mentor one or two of the students from LVA by bringing them/her to classes and meetings.  Some of the criteria is that the student be working in the fabric arts and slated to continue on to a school of higher learning in the direction of design and use of fabrics.

We hope our scholarship encourages our younger generation to continue our art with the love we share of fabric and design.

These are some pictures that were taken when we welcomed Patricia Bloomfield from Sidney Australia to spend time at Ann Pugh's home and a luncheon with the Crazy Threads Circle. For more photos check out our Quilt Chatter.

A SURVIVOR'S QUILT

       
Stephanie, sitting next to her dad, survived childhood cancer.  This quilt was made from the head scarves she wore.  There is a Garth Brooks signature in one, Ronald McDonald Camp in others.  I backed them with iron on tricot to stabilize them all.
The Dragonfly was important to her so three dimensional ones were sewn on throughout the quilt and Tammy Bradley quilted a dragonfly pattern to complete the quilt.  I made this gift for bus driver friends that I have known since before Steffy was born.   It was given to her on her graduation from high school.
