"I always look forward to the GVQC festival. From the most meticulous traditional
handwork to the funkiest AND
the most elegant contemporary work -- there is something for everyone to enjoy.
And the vendors are superb. Bring your cash, your notebook, and your camera --
fill your stash and your brain with color and pattern." -- Janet
Berlo, quilter and quilt historian
The Genesee Valley Quilt Club, Inc. will
hold their biennial quilt
festival
June 3-5, 2011
at the Rochester Institute of Technology Gordon Field House. It promises to bring quilters from far and wide
to the exhibition of quilts and a variety of vendors, as well as crowd pleasing
activities.
One of the
nation’s longestcontinuously
meeting quilt clubs, the Genesee Valley Quilt Club (GVQC) promotes and
encourages quilt making throughout the greater
Genesee Valley region centered near Rochester, New York.
Guest speakers at past shows included Jane
Sassaman, internationally known quilt artist, and Mary Mashuta, who takes
tradition with a twist.
These headliners were joined by regional guest speakers and instructors. Plans
are underway to make the 2011 show even better.
