2 Quilting on the Red Show 2011

The North Star Quilters Guild is pleased to invite

you to our 2011 Quilting on the Red Quilt Show.

The North Star Quilters Guild was founded in 1981 as an educational organization by a group of

enthusiastic quilters whose skills ranged from

beginner to expert. The purpose of the guild is to

share ideas and knowledge about quilting, inspire enthusiasm

and growth, develop skills, maintain ideas and standards, and

promote interest in and appreciation of the world of quilting.

This past year we began a new adventure with a very successful

Educational Conference which featured local, regional and

national instructors. This year we look forward to a wonderful

quilt show, featured speakers, shopping at vendors from area quilt shops and most of all meeting and visiting with you.

The quilt show will be open Saturday, October 15 from

9:00am-7:00pm and Sunday, October 16, from 9:00am-

4:00pm. Daily admission is $5.00. Children under 12 are free.

Our venue this year is the Grand Forks Alerus Convention

Center. We were thrilled with the facility at last year’s education

conference and are excited about its possibilities at this year’s

quilt show. We hope you agree and enjoy the show.

Meet Our Presenters

Yvonne Hollenbeck - South Dakota

www.yvonnehollenbeck.com

Yvonne Hollenbeck is a Clearfield, South Dakota

rancher’s wife, and whenever she is not helping

with the many duties that requires, she is busy

making quilts or writing and performing poetry.

She is not only from a long line of quilters, but

her grandmothers were also poets, and Yvonne apparently inherited the two skills from them. Both hobbies have taken

her to national levels, as her quilts have won local, state and

national contests and her poetry has garnered her a spot on

the largest cowboy poetry gatherings in the nation. Yvonne is

currently the number one award-winning cowgirl poet in America and has published four books and numerous CDs

involving her poetry, several of which are also award winners.

Reflections of our lives occur as one sees the quilts made

by loving hands at a time when there was no running water,

electricity or modern conveniences that we enjoy today. All of

the quilts were made on farms and ranches in Nebraska and

South Dakota. Her poetry, mostly of a humorous nature, sheds light on today’s little problems while being ever mindful of the

hardships and big problems faced by the women of yesteryear.

Kate Eelkema - St. Paul, Minnesota

Kate Eelkema returns to Quilting on the Red Quilt Show as this year’s nationally certified judge. In 2003 Kate

assisted nationally certified judge, Cindy Erickson, as

part of her certification process. Since then Kate,

originally from North Dakota, has moved to St. Paul

where she is an elementary school media specialist. Kate

is active in the Minnesota Quilters and serves on the Minnesota Quilt Show Committee. She enjoys combining

her background in education with her love of quilting to

help others create their own works of art. A National

Quilt Association Certified Judge, she judges quilt

shows, teaches quiltmaking workshops, gives lectures about various aspects of quilting and always has quilts

hanging on the walls of her library.

In addition to judging this year’s show, Kate will present

two lectures on Saturday.


Lectures

Yvonne Hollenbeck Patchwork on the Prairie Friday, 7:00 pm

Quilters and non-quilters will enjoy this program.

**No quilting experience required

Yvonne unfolds and shows five generations of

quilts spanning 135 years, which were made by

herself, her mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother, and recites poems

about quilts and quilters. By the end of the presentation, one

will be able to see the progression of style, fabric and methods of

quilting through the last one hundred fifty years. This heart-

warming and entertaining presentation has become one of the

most requested programs in the Heartland. Yvonne has a way of making her family memories invoke your own as she tells of “The

Old Felt Hat,” “The Annual Christmas Program” and “Prairie

Patchwork.”

Kate Eelkema Here Comes the Judge Saturday, 3:00-4:00 pm

When you attend a quilt show, do you wonder

why some quilts have ribbons and others do

not? Do you hesitate to enter a quilt competition

because you don’t know what happens in that judging room? This is your chance to hear a nationally certified quilt

judge explain what judges look for in the judging room, what it

takes to make a blue ribbon quilt, and why it is important to

enter quilt shows even if you don’t win.

What Next? Finishing School for Your Quilt Saturday, 7:00–8:00 pm

You have finished creating your quilt top—now what?

Join Kate as she shares great tips and hints for the

finishing “Bs” – Borders, Batting, Backing, Basting,

and Binding. This is important information that you don’t usually have time to learn in a quilt class, but which can

greatly increase the quality of your finished project.
