2010
Wina Helm is Our 2010 Featured Quilter
Wina’s
creative talents before moving to Groveland, were focused on oil painting. In 1993, her daughter, Dee Small, convinced
her to consider quilting with the promise of a cutting mat and a rotary cutter.
Learning
a few basics from a friend over a long weekend, a new quilter was born! When Wina learned Eleanor Burns interfacing
appliqué method she fell in love with appliqué. Now her quilts have a combination of piecing
and appliqué.
Wina started a quilting bee group of 8 ladies in Groveland who get together every Wednesday. They voted to call themselves the WWWs – Wina’s Wild Women.
Her display will feature her favorite appliqué quilts.

Why Should I Have My
Quilt Appraised?
Many people do not realize that their quilts have a value. Whether they’re old or new, they have a value. The value is arrived at through many different ways, but first and foremost, is the condition of the quilt. If the quilt is an antique, but still in excellent condition, it can have a high value to replace it, should anything happen to it. Insurance companies will look at the certified appraisal to see the replacement value. While the value is most often based on an “Insurance Replacement Value”, there are also “Fair Market” appraisals available if you want to sell the quilt. Newly made quilts are generally appraised based on time and materials. An appraiser will look into how much you would have to pay someone to reproduce your quilt if something were to happen to it.

Quilt Show Quilts – Where do They Come From?
Typically there are around 300 quilts displayed at our annual quilt show.
Where do we get these quilts? Members of our guild surrender their much beloved
creations for all to view. That’s why we vote on our favorites. Our quilt show
is not a judged quilt show; it is a show where viewers vote for their favorite
quilt in different categories.
The 2010 categories have not yet been decided.
