Welcome to Home Page of the Carson
Valley Quilt Guild! We are a large group
of quilters who live and quilt in and around
Nevada's Carson Valley, home to Minden, Gardnerville and Genoa.
We're located 10 miles south of Carson City, our state's
capital, and we're an hour south of Reno, the largest city in
Northern Nevada. We are located just over the picturesque
Sierra from beautiful Lake Tahoe, surrounded by three mountain
ranges ... the Carson Range of the Sierra Nevada (see above
photo), the Pine Nut Mountains and the Sweetwaters. This "Moon
over the Mountain" block is our logo, each member making their own
quilted nametag.
Our group first came together in 1986 as a handful of
quilting enthusiasts meeting in the back of a Gardnerville
fabric store. Now, more than 20 years later, we meet
monthly, have parties, quilt shows, guild challenges, classes,
workshops and a yearly retreat to Lake Tahoe.
We are a
non-profit organization and our charitable quilt donations serve
many in our growing communities. Come visit us
sometime, or just enjoy our Web site and let us know what's going on
in your quilting neck of the world ... Happy Quilting,
all!
We
have many mini-groups, formed for a variety of reasons
(neighborhood proximity, level of expertise, challenges,
camaraderie, etc.), and their names are the biggest kick ... Old
Broadcloths, Mitered Mamas, Rotary Renegades, Designing Divas,
Monday Hens, Tuesday Threaders, Friday Strippers, Lofty Quilters,
Ditch Stitchers, Silver Thimbles, Ladies of Material Pleasure,
Rippers & Strippers, Thimble Minded, Going to Pieces, Rethreads,
and Loose Threads of Lakeview.
*** WANT to join a mini-group or start one?
Judy Conrad sent this in:
Following our Mitered Mama’s Mini-guild Program
at the May guild meeting, we had requests about joining a
“mini-group.” Some groups (like ours) may be full and have waiting
lists, but there could be others who have room for more.
A mini-group is
a great way to have fun, quilt and make friends ... let me know and
I will facilitate trying to get folks together, so you don’t have to
wait to start having fun!
- Call if you are in a mini-group that would welcome
additional members.
- Call if you want to be a member of a mini-group, or would
be willing to start a new one.
Contact Judy Conrad at (775) 267-5650 or email
