My Quilting Journey
I did very little sewing while I worked at data processing for 35 years. After I retired, my husband and I moved to Temecula in 2004. I got into quilting because my sister Carmen wanted to go to the Quilter’s Coop in 2009. When I was there, I signed up for a quilting class from Janiel Miller. I loved it. She taught from the Quilts, Quilts!!, Quilts!!! book and her hand written class notes. A wonderful collection of blocks that made a sampler quilt that was quilted by Judith Krot in 2010. After seeing the Quilt Show that year I joined the guild. My first applique class was with Cathy Von Burgen. After taking her class at Road to California, I made her Butterfly block-of-the-month quilt and was hooked. I've used many quilting techniques, but I like applique the best.

President’s Message
Hello and welcome to our Temecula Valley-wide quilting community.
If you love fabric, meeting new people, making new friends, and contributing to those in need while learning and perfecting your quilting skills, then you have come to the right place. Valley of the Mist Quilters Guild offers many opportunities to learn, get involved, or simply enjoy time with kindred spirits. I encourage you to explore our website, read our newsletter, and get to know us by attending a meeting.
If you are considering joining us, here are a few things you can look forward to in 2024:
· Workshops and lectures from industry leaders where you can learn new techniques and assimilate the helpful tips and tricks that they have picked up along their quilting journeys.
· Our annual Old Town Temecula Outdoor Quilt Show is a opportunity for members to display their quilts. We also hold a quilt auction and a craft boutique at this event to raise money for local charities.
· Let’s not forget philanthropy and the great work done for charity. It is headed up by a great group of ladies who lovingly dedicate their time and efforts and who will welcome you with open arms.
· Monthly meetings consist of Guild business followed by speakers, breaks with snacks, and opportunities to participate in blocks of the month, fabric exchanges, drawings for monthly mini quilts and merchandise baskets, show and tell and so much more.
My prediction is that 2024 will be a banner year of camaraderie, creativity, service, learning, and fun. I look forward to welcoming everyone to our quilty world.
