2 The North Star Quilters Guild is pleased to invite you to our 2011 Quilting on the Red Quilt Show. The North Star Quilters Guild was founded in 1981 as an educational organization by a group of enthusiastic quilters whose skills ranged from beginner to expert. The purpose of the guild is to share ideas and knowledge about quilting, inspire enthusiasm and growth, develop skills, maintain ideas and standards, and promote interest in and appreciation of the world of quilting. This past year we began a new adventure with a very successful Educational Conference which featured local, regional and national instructors. This year we look forward to a wonderful quilt show, featured speakers, shopping at vendors from area quilt shops and most of all meeting and visiting with you. The quilt show will be open Saturday, October 15 from 9:00am-7:00pm and Sunday, October 16, from 9:00am- 4:00pm. Daily admission is $5.00. Children under 12 are free. Our venue this year is the Grand Forks Alerus Convention Center. We were thrilled with the facility at last year s education conference and are excited about its possibilities at this year s quilt show. We hope you agree and enjoy the show.

East Grand Forks, MN Grand Forks, ND Grand Forks, ND Quilting on the Red Show 2011 Meet Our Presenters Yvonne Hollenbeck - South Dakota Yvonne Hollenbeck is a Clearfield, South Dakota rancher s wife, and whenever she is not helping with the many duties that requires, she is busy making quilts or writing and performing poetry. She is not only from a long line of quilters, but her grandmothers were also poets, and Yvonne apparently inherited the two skills from them. Both hobbies have taken her to national levels, as her quilts have won local, state and national contests and her poetry has garnered her a spot on the largest cowboy poetry gatherings in the nation. Yvonne is currently the number one award-winning cowgirl poet in America and has published four books and numerous CDs involving her poetry, several of which are also award winners. Reflections of our lives occur as one sees the quilts made by loving hands at a time when there was no running water, electricity or modern conveniences that we enjoy today. All of the quilts were made on farms and ranches in Nebraska and South Dakota. Her poetry, mostly of a humorous nature, sheds light on today s little problems while being ever mindful of the hardships and big problems faced by the women of yesteryear. Kate Eelkema - St. Paul, Minnesota Kate Eelkema returns to Quilting on the Red Quilt Show as this year s nationally certified judge. In 2003 Kate assisted nationally certified judge, Cindy Erickson, as part of her certification process. Since then Kate, originally from North Dakota, has moved to St. Paul where she is an elementary school media specialist. Kate is active in the Minnesota Quilters and serves on the Minnesota Quilt Show Committee. She enjoys combining her background in education with her love of quilting to help others create their own works of art. A National Quilt Association Certified Judge, she judges quilt shows, teaches quiltmaking workshops, gives lectures about various aspects of quilting and always has quilts hanging on the walls of her library. In addition to judging this year s show, Kate will present two lectures on Saturday. Quilting on the Red Quilt Show

4 Lectures Yvonne Hollenbeck Patchwork on the Prairie Quilters and non-quilters will enjoy this program. **No quilting experience required Friday, 7:00 pm Yvonne unfolds and shows five generations of quilts spanning 135 years, which were made by herself, her mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother and great-great-grandmother, and recites poems about quilts and quilters. By the end of the presentation, one will be able to see the progression of style, fabric and methods of quilting through the last one hundred fifty years. This heartwarming and entertaining presentation has become one of the most requested programs in the Heartland. Yvonne has a way of making her family memories invoke your own as she tells of The Old Felt Hat, The Annual Christmas Program and Prairie Patchwork. Kate Eelkema Here Comes the Judge Saturday, 3:00-4:00 pm When you attend a quilt show, do you wonder why some quilts have ribbons and others do not?
