30th Annual Azalea Quilt Show

Friday, March 25th, 2011 – Saturday, March 26th, 2011

The theme “SPRING-A Time For New Beginnings” fits into the City of Tyler’s Azalea and Spring Flowers Trail which begins on Friday, March 25 and runs through Sunday, April 10.

Show Chairman, Sheryl Moore, expects guild members and the public to enter over 200 quilts in the judged show. More than 2 dozen additional entries are expected from members in the Challenge Block category. Attendees to the show will also be treated to an antique quilt bed turning, silent auction of small wall quilts, skill demonstrations, new product introductions, a vendor mall, scavenger hunt for children, country store with handmade gifts and gently used quilting items. Some of our guild members tend to be rather traditional, so special emphasis to paid to hand quilting: one of our skill demonstrations is on hand quilting. Visitors last year were pleased by the special activities that take place every 30 minutes. A cafe’ by Edom Grill and Bakery will be set up for the visitors to have a nice lunch while attending the function.

The Azalea Quilt Show is judged by a certified National Quilt Association (NQA) judge. Some categories offer cash awards in addition to ribbons. The judge offers written constructive comments for each entry so the quilt maker gets positive feedback. Members use the comments to improve their workmanship. Two of our members are NQA certified judges (who never judge our show). With only 80 certified judges in the U. S. we feel a special pride that we have 2 from Tyler.

In 2011, in addition to our quilt show, the Embroiders Guild of Tyler will have a display of their lovely hand work. This takes place every other year and brings additional emphasis on hand work that goes along with quilting.

Additionally, visitors to the Tyler area may visit small quilt exhibits at the Tyler Public Library and the Whitehouse Community Library celebrating SPRING. These shows are no-charge events provided to the public by the Quilters’ Guild of East Texas.

EMILY ELBERT
Mineola’s Henry Hotel March 25

Raised in Texas on a musical diet of Antonio Carlos Jobim, James Taylor, and ’60s radio, Boston’s Emily Elbert fell in love with guitar when she was 15. Three years later, she released her first album of original music. Now at 22, Emily has played over 350 shows internationally, from Alaska to Memphis, Austin to New York City, and Scotland, Puerto Rico, Saint-Barthélemy and Peru. Glamour Magazine recently named her one of the “Top Ten College Women” of 2010, and her second album, Proof, was released in September. It features Emily at her best, with strong melodies, straight-to-the-heart vocals, and intricate guitar work.

In the past few years, Emily has opened for artists as diverse as Richie Havens, G-Love & Special Sauce, Jorge Drexler, Janis Ian, Kaki King, Patty Larkin, and Kate Voegele. Fans from around the globe have watched her YouTube videos in droves, including over 300,000 views of her version of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” The Boston Folk Festival notes: “Emily is among the most glowing of the upcoming generation of American singer-songwriters, if ‘upcoming’ even applies to this phenom any longer.”
A year after moving to the Northeast to study at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, where she was awarded a four-year, full-tuition scholarship, Boston’s WUMB radio station selected her as the 2008 Best New Artist of the Year. This fall, she placed among the top five in the Mountain Stage/NewSong competition in New York City. Coming up in 2011, Emily will return to the Caribbean for a two-week performance stint in Saint-Barthélemy, go on a full-band Texas tour with the Boston Boys surrounding music festival South by Southwest, and perform for the United States Consulate in Scotland.
