Happily the Cibolo Creek Quilters Guild returns Friday, May 5 and Saturday, May 6, with Hampton Inn serving as conference headquarters, 34925 IH 10 West, Boerne. Highlights of the day and a half Conference include a Meet and Greet with this year’s presenter, Susan Cleveland, the drawing for the 2023 CCQG Raffle Quilt, and a Saturday Market following the Conference. A demonstration is included with Friday’s lunch.
Susan Cleveland’s enthusiasm for quilting is said to be contagious. She works towards keeping an upbeat setting, providing well-written instructions, and attending to each student with personalized coaching. Her quilts have received many awards in international competitions since 1997, where judges have commented on her fine workmanship and original style. Cleveland thrills with her unique designs by including charming, unexpected elements such as prairie beads, specialty threads, piping, and great binding techniques. Cleveland was delighted to be named Minnesota Quilter of the Year in 2010, and most recently served a two-year term on the board of the International Quilt Association.
