This year’s Silver Thimble recipient has a long history in Utah quilting.  She has been instrumental in coordinating large quilt shows such as HMQS and UQSM. 

She has also assisted as the go-between for the Rusty Barn Show and the UQG.  She has served on the Board for UQG for many years. This person has been instrumental in bringing quilting to under-served populations through the Catholic Charities, “Give Me a Chance”.  She has also sponsored some of it’s patrons so they can attend UQG’s Festival.    She donates quilts to several charities and has donated time to Shriners.

This person walks an average of five miles a day, and can often be seen walking around the facilities at Quilt Festival.  She enjoys long-arm piecing, attending plays, and spending time with her Significant Other, who is a retired Air Force Colonel.  Her favorite ice-cream flavor is mint chocolate chip! This person attended Notre Dame and is an Engineer.  She worked for Northrop Grumman in her former life. 

If you’ve ever attended a class with her, math equations come easily to her!
She is an inspiration to those around her and we are so fortunate to have her in our guild.
