Jean Christensen Quilt Show

Jean with her quilt "Radiance"

On November 14th we celebrated Mrs. Jean Christensen, Utah Quilt Guild founder and her dedicated husband, Boyd. This talented lady began what is known today as the Utah Quilt Guild back in 1977; realizing there was no organization that brought local quilters together. Today, the Utah Quilt Guild boasts more that one thousand members! We were so excited to host this event with Sharon Wright, current UGQ President, Elaine Carlson, 2006 UGQ President and Donna Moyer, former Membership Registrar.
