Ruth Davis
The Silver Thimble has been awarded in the Utah Quilt Guild since 1997. These winners have been chosen for their outstanding efforts to encourage, promote and preserve the art of quilt making in Utah.
It is an honor to stand before you as your President-Elect.
It is an honor because I am graced with being accepted and nurtured by a Gnomehood of quilter’s, stitchers, embroiderers, recyclers, painters, dyers, crafters, and artists. No matter what method we use to make a quilt or why we quilt, we are all bound by that silver thread that runs through each and every quilt. I would like you all to ponder on the importance and significance of this silver thread while I ask you some questions. Which member is the one who sacrifices herself to help others when they are close to sewing doom? A silver thread is now being stitched through the layers of our quilt. Which member has put her heart and soul into years of Quilt Fests and drawing many other innocent souls with her?
Another beautiful silver stitch has been place upon the quilt.
Which member works her own thread finesse weaving webs of delight that capture one to look more close?
Maybe we can add a little silver swirl or two to run across our quilt.
Which member? Can you see the quilt design that is beginning to take place?
Which member puts you so much under her spell that you get excited for Swap-Block Quilts even though you know that you have no time to do so?
I’m going to tell you all right now, my stitching line is going to look like fabric bolts in a quilt shop. Which member puts you in a starry gaze through her patterning of various celestial delights?
Come on Gnomies - I’m going to tell you right now that your going to stitch twinkling stars with that silver thread of yours. Which member can wear the Wizard Hat of Color by happily conjuring up magical potions in her dye cauldron?
Maybe that silver quilting thread has just turned holographic! Which member is a shape-shifter?
Yes! I saw her magically appear by some spell of hers as the Easter Bunny a previous QuiltFest.
Wow! What exciting type of thread work are we going to stitch to express that!? Which member? Can you see more of the quilt design coming through on your quilt?
Which member has been President of her local Guilds and can state that she was Vice-President - of this Guild, that is?!
That silver-shiny thread is really running through our quilt now! Which member shares the same hairdresser as Rapunzel and swaps hair braiding techniques?
A silver Celtic pattern may now be placed upon our quilt. Which member can send shivers down your spine with her cackling laugh? Our silver quilt line just became a little jagged!
Which member has so much quilting talent and creativity that she won Best of Show for Quilt Fest 2022? Wow! Silver frilly, twirly, curly designs are being placed across our quilt.
Now Gnomies, what does your silver threadwork reveal?
