Fest 2010 by Barbara Murdock
Quilt Fest for 2010 will be held October 5-9 at the deluxe Zermatt
Resort in Midway, Utah. We have four national teachers coming: John Flynn, Sue Nickels, Mary Stori and Norah McMeeking. In addition to some super
local teachers who will be teaching many of our classes, we will also have a
trunk show during the Saturday luncheon by Sue Gilgen, a wonderful quilter from
St. George, Utah.
On Friday night, we are having Bob Purcell from Superior
Threads come and present his Threadology
School, followed by the
auction of our Festival Baskets and then show and tell. Friday evening is a free event and open to
everyone. There will not be any classes
Friday night.
The Zermatt Resort and Spa was designed to resemble a quaint
alpine village, offering 360 degree views of the Rocky
Mountains and surrounding foothills. It is a resort with the charm and cultural
feel that Europe is famous for.
The price and description of the rooms is attached. There is a mandatory $15.00 resort fee, per
room, per night, which is not included in the printed price. The resort fee includes wireless access in the
rooms, use of the indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs with a cascading
waterfall, gym access, valet parking (I do know the bellhops appreciate a tip
though!), etc. There is also a carousel;
life-sized chess, shuffle board, an 18-hole putting golf course, tennis and
volleyball, etc., if you tire of quilting.
Every room has a coffee pot with regular and decaf coffee,
hot chocolate, tea bags, hairdryer, robes and basic toiletries. Each room has an iron and ironing board. The resort also has a very nice spa that many
of our quilters are anxious to try out.
They have an on-site bakery where you can buy a pastry, milk
or coffee for breakfast, and two restaurants: Schneitter’s features a formal
dining approach in service and Matty’s Bistro is a more casual dining
experience featuring brick oven pizza and a full-service bar. We will also give you a list of other places
in the valley to eat when you check in.
There will be a display of row quilts made by the Heber and
Midway quilters, depicting life in the Heber Valley. It will also be the 100th year of
Boy Scouts and we would like to recognize their anniversary by having a display
of scout related quilts.
Bring your “friends” and join us at the Zermatt this
year. You can check their website at: www.zermattresort.com and call 1-866-535-6053 for reservations. You need to call this number to get the
