'A Cut Above' Award
In 2010, CVQG instituted this award to recognize a member each year who we feel has gone above and beyond to help make our Quilt Guild special. Sometimes that is in the form of leadership, sometimes it’s that person you can always count on to step up and help. Having monthly quilt meetings and a yearly quilt show requires so much energy and effort- we’re pleased to recognize one more member who is ‘A Cut Above'.

The 2025 'A Cut Above' Award goes to TWO wonderful ladies this time!
Pat Scherer and
Jo Ann Hill
The Colorado Valley Quilt Guild wouldn’t exist without the energy and dedication of its members- and some have gone above and beyond in their service. Take a look at the list of those who have won our ‘A Cut Above’ award in the past to see some examples of those who have made CVQG what it is today.
And why do we do what we do? Why do we attend the meetings, worry about By-Laws changes, work like youngsters (which none of us are anymore!) to put on a yearly Best Little Quilt Show, sell raffle tickets and make and give away quilts?
One word: fellowship. We use this hobby to create a community, a tribe, a sisterhood. Think of how much richer we all are to have belonged to CVQG. Think of how its existence has provided the opportunity for so many of us to join, learn more, and share what we’ve learned with others and with the community. And then think of what it takes to keep that wheel turning. People. Us.
Pat Scherer is always friendly, knowledgeable, and really cares for the folks we gift quilts to. She is always smiling and polite to everyone she meets. She is a great resource to new members and officers and as someone said, "She is involved in everything Guild." She has held several offices, including Guild President and Quilt Show Chair. She made a quilt for the animal shelter and has worked on the 2027 Guild raffle quilt.
​
Jo Ann Hill is a charter member and has served on numerous Guild committees and quilt show committees and has held several offices. At one time, she collected quilt blocks from Guild members and made two quilts for the Fayette Memorial Hospital Auxiliary raffle. You can see her at the Tuesday Bee and many Guild workshops. She is also a docent at the Texas Quilt Museum. She not only creates beautiful art quilts, but she also helped bring art quilts to our quilt show and is an inspiration to all.

Congratulations, Pat and Jo Ann. You are both truly ‘A Cut Above’!
