Meeting program: Dr. Linda Bradley on Hawaiian Quilting – Karen Owsley and Celia Boland
Dr. Linda Bradley spoke to us last fall about Amish quilts and will be back for the May meeting to talk about Hawaiian quilts. She wrote the book, Contemporary Hawaiian Quilting, and will have copies available for purchase at the meeting.
We also plan to have a tulip block pattern with background fabric for members to make blocks for a drawing at the June meeting. Be sure to get your copy so you can participate with a chance to win more blocks!
From the President – Margaret Donelick
Thank you to everyone who worked on the Quilt Show. I think the raffle quilt ticket sales were at an all-time record (as least for as long as I have been involved). It was a resounding success! A list of the quilts that won ribbons will be elsewhere in the newsletter, but all were beautiful and a joy to behold.
Please remember that at the May meeting we will be voting in our new officers: Mary Silvernale Shook as President, Karen Owsley and Pam Ewing as Vice President, Chris Schultz as Treasurer and Joy Stotz as Secretary. Thank you all for volunteering to serve!
2024 Palouse Patchers Quilt Show – Donna Bailly and Madeline Martin
Madeline and I would like to thank all of the Palouse Patchers who helped make this year's Quilt Show possible! Without your volunteering and work we could not have put together such a successful show!
And the work was not just for this last weekend, many of you helped throughout the year in the various departments. Plus all of you created such beautiful quilts to make the 42nd Annual Palouse Patchers Quilt Show a real credit to your craftsmanship and imagination!
BTW: Thank you Joy Segota and Leslie Sprouse for the beautiful ribbons!
Quilt Show Thank You – Suzie Davis
As Take Down chair, I would like to thank all of the PP members and their spouses that helped with Take Down. I think this was the quickest we've ever disassembled the main room! We had everything down and frames put away in 90 minutes. In the past, it took 2 hours or more before we were all done. A special thank you to Wayne Sprouse and Idgie Potter for hauling frames and totes! Having two trucks, really helps with transporting all the necessary items for the show. Honestly, I can't thank you all enough! It's a physically demanding job, and I appreciate each and everyone of you!
Palouse Patchers Quilt Show Thank You – Leslie Sprouse
I would like to thank everyone who sold raffle tickets- working at the fairgrounds, winter markets, Beasley, on their own or at our quilt show. And thank you to Zion Bank and Umpqua Bank for displaying our quilt and selling tickets.

2025 Palouse Patchers Quilt Show – Debbie Brudie and Madeline Martin
We'll give you the month of May to rest, relax, and reflect on our collective 2024 Quilt Show success! There were lots of positive comments and satisfied customers! Way to go!
However, we are already planning for next year's quilt show and we will certainly need your continued enthusiasm and help to make it a success once again! We are going to start by getting as much information on paper as we can to update the Co-Chair's Binder. Then it is our hope to save this material online where members will have access to read committee descriptions of duties and responsibilities, co-chair's expectations, timelines, etc. We hope it will prompt you to consider serving as a leader for one of the 30+ committees it takes to prepare this show. We have also started a new patchersquiltshow@gmail.com account for corresponding with your 2025 co-chairs if you have questions or suggestions for next year's quilt show. We will be happy to listen and entertain your ideas as we move forward to next April!
