At the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, members of Quaking Aspen, Fort Collins Modern, Boulder Modern, and Wa Shonaji quilt guilds brushed shoulders. Passing around copies of <\/span>Quiltfolk, Issue 28: Colorado<\/span><\/i>, people asked those who\u2019d been featured to autograph their magazines. Someone said it reminded them of signing yearbooks.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

On the afternoon of Sunday, October 22, about 80 folks gathered at the museum in Golden, Colorado, to celebrate the latest release of Quiltfolk<\/i>. Many were interviewed in the magazine, including the party\u2019s gracious hosts, eQuilter, and the museum\u2019s leadership. \u201cWe\u2019re hosting this event, and we wanted as many artists to come as possible, so we could meet and greet you,\u201d said Karen Roxburgh, the museum\u2019s director. She continued, \u201cQuiltfolk<\/i>\u00a0probably could have filled two or three more issues with great artists from Colorado, and we wish they could have, but congratulations to the names that are in the magazine.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Steven Garner described the experience of sharing his story with writer Meg Cox.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cMeg and I spoke several times. I only requested one thing. \u2018When you write it,\u2019 I said, \u2018Do your best. If you do your best, that’s all I can ask for.\u2019 I know that sometimes as a writer, their mind is all over the place,\u201d Steven said. \u201cImmediately, when I read it, and when I talked to her, I told her, \u2018You\u2019ve done your best.\u2019 I was happy about it because all of us have a story to tell and when history records it, you want it to be recorded the right way. There may be things that are left out, but there are things that should not be left out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Patty and Allen Brown made their rounds while eQuilter\u2019s Luana Rubin chatted with Diana Fox, who coincidentally opened a solo exhibit called\u00a0Outside the Frame\u2019s Edge<\/i>\u00a0just two days prior. In the main gallery, attendees, including Tierney Davis Hogan, Jeananne Wright, and Jeanette Zawacki, smiled for photos while quilts in the\u00a019th Century Patchwork Divas | 25 Years of Scraps<\/i>\u00a0exhibition served as backdrops.<\/p>

About her experience working with\u00a0Quiltfolk\u2019s<\/i>\u00a0photographer Melanie Zacek and stylist Kimberlee Ishii (Zacek), Sandra Dallas said she visited three locations. \u201cIt turned out to be a beautiful day. It was so easy. I talked to Meg [Cox] for maybe an hour, and got a few emails clarifying a few things, and spent maybe half a day with the photographers,\u201d Sandra said. \u201cEverybody was so nice, friendly, and accommodating to work with.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Carmen Schell, a\u00a0Quiltfolk<\/i>\u00a0production assistant turned contributing writer, described the experience of writing for and appearing in the pages of the magazine.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cI love getting to talk to people and learning their stories. That brings me a lot of joy and unexpected joy that I didn\u2019t know that I was looking for. I\u2019ve written one or two stories per issue,\u201d Carmen said. \u201cI\u2019m so used to being behind the scenes, but it was a great experience. I love that there\u2019s a family photo that made it into the magazine. It was emotional, and there were big smiles. My husband and I looked at the issue together when it arrived. He pointed out the editor\u2019s note before my article, and asked, \u2018Did you see this?\u2019 I hadn\u2019t, and that\u2019s when I cried.\u201d<\/p>

Laura Loewen said, \u201cThe photographers were very nice. It was also interesting to see what they thought was photogenic within my house. If others are invited to be a part of a future\u00a0Quiltfolk<\/i>\u00a0issue, I\u2019d recommend it.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

As attendees shared their experiences with the magazine \u2014 expressing gratitude, joy, and the emotions evoked by their features \u2014 they encapsulated the essence of what <\/span>Quiltfolk<\/span><\/i> represents: a testament to the enduring spirit of quilting, storytelling, and the community it fosters. The pages of this issue not only capture talented makers, but also connection and shared passion, painting a vivid picture of Colorado’s rich quilting heritage. As the event drew to a close, the museum halls echoed with stories, warm encounters, and the celebration of artistry. It was evident that this vibrant community contributes to a larger, more colorful story, one that continues to inspire and weave new tales for generations to come.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
