This quilt show marks 40 years of beauty and craftsmanship from fiber artists, many from right here in the Hudson Valley. It is a rare and special opportunity for quilters to display their work and share their personal passions with the community. Thank you to the quilters who are sharing their creations with us this weekend. Without your quilts, we cannot have a show.

I am deeply grateful to everyone who helped bring this tradition to life once again. Whether it was the Dutchess County Fairgrounds, which generously provided us a venue, or my family, who lived among boxes and piles while sorting through previous quilt show items and figuring out the logistics to get this show up and running, you have my heartfelt thanks.

To the talented women who designed, created, and quilted our show quilt—your work is a gift in itself. To the local businesses that helped update our signage, chipped in with printing, or offered support through discounts and donations, we couldn’t have done it without you.

A special thank you goes to Holly and Tara, who stepped in when I looked around and realized I was piloting a ship with very little crew. Your help was invaluable.

I'll be honest—the future of this show is uncertain. It was a heavy lift, and the crew isn’t getting any younger. But I chose to make this show happen for future generations. Without them, the handcrafted traditions of the past will slowly fade away.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

In the fall of 1981, 2 quilters admiring a display of quilts at a church fair said, “Let’s put on a quilt show!” They recognized that there were numerous talented and creative people in the Hudson Valley, and a show would give them the opportunity to share their creativity. The idea did not gain momentum until early 1982 when the two enthusiastic quilters and friends met to form plans for a show to celebrate Duchess County's 300Th anniversary.

The first Dutchess Quilters was approached about hosting the first quilts show, and they decided that such a venture was beyond their capabilities at that time. The organizing group, which became known as the Dutchess Heritage Quilt Show committee, persevered to find a place to hold the show.


Dutchess Community College was approached, and Dr. F. Kennon Moody, Dean of community services, encouraged the quilters to continue their plans with the full cooperation of the college, and the first show took place on  June 4 and 5, 198,3, and the show was a great success for a first venture.


Proceeds from the first show were used to start the Dutchess Heritage Quilt show account, and after each show,w a small amount of money was kept to cover beginning expenses for the next sho,w and the money was given to Dutchess Community college foundation to be added to the Dutchess County Quilt show scholarship. Two scholarships are awarded annually from this scholarship to non-traditional students in the art department.

After the pandemic, the quilt show impetus stalled for a variety of reasons. DCC became a closed campus for a time, and it was determined that the show needed to be moved from the October dates to June, and a new venue needed to be found. After much searching, the Dutchess County fairgrounds was approached and has provided us with a venue for this year's show- We are looking forward to sharing the great creations with the Hudson Valley.


 

The Raffle Quilt- Delectable Mountains

Our inspiration for this year’s raffle quilt was the quilt “Breezy Gardens” by Kayoko Hibino of Japan. Our quilts are entirely handmade and always contain both patchwork and appliqué, so everyone can find something they enjoy working on. The inspiration quilt was all appliques, so we exchanged pieced triangles for some of the more geometric appliques. We also added a pieced border to make the quilt queen-sized. The flowers are from Turkish delights to appliqué by Linda Pool, who was a guild guest speaker. 

Coordinating the making of the quilt was complicated by the pandemic. There were a lot of dropping packets on people’s front porches and waving from afar. And little did we know that our usual two-year timeline would be extended to four when the show was postponed.

Our thanks to all who contributed to this beautiful raffle quilt.

 Lynne Kane- Puppy Girl Designs- Friday Speaker


I live, as I have most of my life, in rural Rensselaer County in upstate New York.  After high school, I enlisted in the US Marine Corps. Returning to the rural portion of the county, I volunteered with the local rescue squad and fire department.  I was ecstatic! I quickly became a NYS EMS and Fire Instructor and a national Instructor in Farmedic and Traumatic Brain Injury.  I’ve just started my 33rd  year in emergency services, and the last 16 years have been full-time. And with all of this action comes the need to slow down, to decompress. I love to turn someone else’s trash into a treasure, believe strongly in reducing our footprint on the environment, to recycle and reuse existing items, and to make do with what we have.  I also believe in the power of appreciating people over things.  A perfect afternoon is stitching with my Puppy Girls snuggled close by, watching the birds and wildlife do their thing, a crockpot simmering, and quilt buddies or friends chatting with me. The Puppy Girl in the logo is my beloved Heidi.  A beautiful, and smart (!), Border Collie, Heidi, came to me at age 9, after Hurricane Katrina, and stayed for several years. We were inseparable, and it was during our time together that I started designing in earnest.  Puppy Girl Emma, also a Border Collie, came to us as a rescue after terrible tornadoes in Tennessee, a few months before Heidi left. Little more than a year later, Puppy Girl Gabby came to Emma and me as a puppy mill rescue.  The Girls are so devoted to each other, it’s sweet to observe.

After earning a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from the University of Connecticut, Sheri led creative teams to create award-winning identities, products, and

Environments for over 20 years prior to launching Whole Circle Studio. She worked in small graphic design studios, a dot-com, and led the exhibit design team at a children’s museum. With the help of books and the Internet, she taught herself how to sew in her late 30s and discovered a passion for designing and making quilts.

202-A Quilting Dairy 1996-2020  Lois Stewart 

If it was in my scrap box, it was included - novelties, batiks, plaids, homespun, reproductions, Thimbleberries. So many quilts, so many memories! Bonnie Hunter Carolina Chain.

This quilt is a floral twist on that traditional pattern using modern fabric prints and innovative piecing methods, then finished in traditional hand quilting.


400 Hand Quilted Appliqued Bed Quilts


401-Joyful Hexagons     Shelly J Greener

Seven hexagon Appliques are from the book Circles of the East. The remainder are from various sources. This quilt started as a joke when I was handed a baggie of scraps from a group quilt, and I said, "What am I supposed to do with these?". I started with the chrysanthemum in the center as something to work on while my husband had a hip replacement. I enjoyed doing the appliques, and the hand quilting helped me to feel peaceful.


500  Hand Quilted Mixed Technique Wall Quilts


501-Spring will come    , Linda Dearing

Made with fabric left over from this year's DHQS raffle quilt. Working on these quilts kept me sane during the darkest hours of the quarantine.

This quilt is used as a table runner in our dining room. I learned to use numerous computerized quilting functions during the completion of this quilt.

703-Islands      Denise Giardullo 

Using a lot of white fabric, I explored positive and negative space through the use of color and shape, and texture from the free motion quilting.

Theme Statement- Using a log cabin block as the base for my design, I cut and sliced colorful fabrics for the centers. Challenging myself to use different shades of white fabric, I loosely followed a log cabin format to finish the irregular-sized blocks and have them fit together in a traditional way. The free-motion quilting designs continually changed to add movement and texture to the quilt.

704-Stellar Flower      Mary Nisley 

Stellar Flower combines a Red-Yellow-Blue challenge and Quiltworx's Stellar Snowflake pattern. The quilting is freehand and ruler-guided free motion.

705-Framework & Flourish   Joyce Luby

Theme statement: traditional pattern, Ocean Waves, combined with machine embroidery of crochet designs.

800 Machine Quilted Pieced Bed Quilts


801-Richards Choice     Shelley J. Greener 

My husband really liked this design and challenged me to make a quilt. I chose to use curved piecing and drafted my own pattern. The color theme was chosen because of a pre-cut layer cake packet I had. Of course many other fabrics were added to make this large quilt. It was fun to go into different quilt shops to buy additional colors. This quilt has been 3 years in process to complete.

Theme Statement-This innovative quilt provides a woven continuous wheel of blooming color. It combines traditional patchwork piecing with a modern color palette using Batik fabrics. I drafted the curved piecing pattern for its creation.

802-Pepper Pineapples    Shelley J. Greener 

The pineapple blocks and two of the corner log cabins are hand pieced from Pepper Cory's workshop. This quilt was a challenge. I was discouraged and disappointed with my blocks and placed them in a box for a few years. Then I found this border print on the sale table in a quilt shop. I removed the original corners and created this quilt.

803-Blue Summer Snowflake   Louise M. Duff

A mystery quilt which turned into a snowflake design. Original machine quilting embellished with sparkling thread. A joy to quilt.

Theme Statement-This quilt uses the traditional English paper piecing technique, however the bold fabrics and color choices create dramatic blooms.

811-Mack's Pinwheels    Joyce Luby

The pinwheels remind me of my granddaughter playing with and blowing on her spinning pinwheels. The tiny pinwheels were a challenge.

A mystery block was released each week to celebrate Edyta Sitar's birthday. Sample settings were released and I chose "on point" and added a large border using original quilting.

This design was created by the retail shop's staff for their participation in the national "Row by Row" event. All shops follow size stipulation & theme; this year's was Music. I re-titled it because I see the design being secular and think of the Bells Ring from the song.
