January 20, 2009 - Bonnie Turner - Silk Ribbon Embroidery  Bonnie started quilting in 1987 as a hobby, which has developed into a passion. Teaching since 1994 in local quilt shops, after school programs, in Adult Continuing Education along with lectures and workshops for various quilt guilds around the State of New York has given me deep satisfaction. she has served as past President of Q.U.I.L.T., Inc of Delmar, NY and is a member of AQS, NQA and the Crazy Quilt Society.  Her love is teaching crazy quilting and silk ribbon embroidery.

February 17, 2009  -  Susan Schweikhart - Morning Glory Morn  Susan is a WVQG member and has been teaching for 8 years.  She is an award winning quilter in both machine piecing and in applique, her work has been seen in shows including WVQG's Stars of the Valley, Country Quilters (NY), Quilt Extravaganza, Quiltfest of New Jersey, Quilters Heritage (Pa), Quilters by the Lake and Electric Quilt Company Challenge.  She has also been seen in Quilters Newsletter.Susan has been quilting for 25 years.

Susan's method uses freezer paper
                but does not  stitch through the paper.
It is designed for machine work, but can
be adapted for hand appliquer's.  The applique will be done using blind hem stitch and (on machines) decorative threads and stitches.  Also,  the use of Angilina fibers will be taught.
