Rochester Museum and Science Center Exhibit
The
Rochester
Museum
and
Science
Center
has
a
significant
collection
of
antiques
quilts
which
are
seldom
seen.
The
club historian, Mery McEvoy, is working with the museum to select the quilts to be shown.
We
are
fortunate
that
the
museum
will
deliver
the
quilts
and
help
curate
them
for
our
show
and
a
member
of
their
staff
will
answer your questions about the quilts and their collection.

Vision 2020 - QCNYS Challenge
Quilters
Consortium
of
New
York
State,
of
which
GVQC
is
a
member,
has
a
biennial
challenge.
Quilters
that
belong
to
member clubs, or are business members are invited to submit a quilt in the challenge.
The
theme
of
the
2020
challenge
is
Vision
2020.
Quilts
can
respond
to
the
theme
in
whatever
direction
they
want.
For
example,
they
may
choose
a
design
that
is
sight-related,
explore
eyeglass
fashions,
offer
a
macro
view
of
the
future,
or
explore the existential.
Check their website
www.qcnys.org
for all the requirements for submitting a quilt.
