Scarlett's Celtic Quilts trunk show for the Chester Piecemakers of Chester, CA - August 14, 2023
Scarlett Rose visited the Chester Piecemakers Quilt Guild in August 2023. She presented her program featuring her own Celtic Quilts. She said she had randomly pulled the quilts off her shelf so some were older ones and some were more recent. Scarlett showed some different ways of using Celtic knots including in borders. She also showed different ways of sewing them as well as drawing them. Her hand quilting is really beautiful. She interacted with the members as she showed her quilts which was nice. The program was well received by our members, many who were not familiar with Celtic Quilting. It was so nice to see such a variety of different Celtic quilts.

Round Robin Quilts Presentation & Camellian Star Workshop - February 23, 2022
-------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
"Our guild, Ladies of the Lake Quilt Guild in Lakeport, California, recently invited Scarlett to come to our guild in light of our upcoming 2019 County Fair, and our own Falling Leaves Quilt Show. Topic: The Judging Process from Both Sides: Competitor and Judge. Fifty-two members came to hear her talk, and they were not disappointed! Scarlett had their undivided attention from the start, and she held it for over an hour. While reinforcing much of what some of them already knew (points, bindings, corners, straight lines, quilting stops/starts, etc), she illustrated her statements with samples (hers and ours) and answered all questions that arose. She then phased into what she, as a judge, had to consider when making her various decisions, again, with illustrations, and answers for questions. As far as programs go, hers was truly instructional AND entertaining. The timing was perfect, because it gave our members valuable pointers to incorporate in the bindings that they were putting on their entries! I've served as Program Chairman for 5 times, and Scarlett gets an A+, in my opinion."
Jane Alameda, Program Chairman
Ladies of the Lake Quilt Guild, Lakeport, California
------------------------------------------------------
"Scarlett Rose taught a class entitled Celtic Style Applique for our Ct Piecemakers Quilt Guild on November 18th and 19th, 2008. As a lecturer, Scarlett Rose is both entertaining and educational. She is an outstanding teacher who not only knows her craft but has the rare ability to teach it effectively to others. She was both patient and encouraging, working one-on-one with students who were struggling, and encouraging others to take their designs even a step further.
The guild was most pleased with the two-day class. Everyone felt they had come away with something—for some it was learning and being able to practice a new technique; for others it meant completing a gorgeous block to show at our next guild’s “show and tell.” As a person, Scarlett Rose is delightful. She made a wonderful companion for the few days she was here, a considerate house guest, and a warm and friendly teacher. I would highly recommend her as a teacher and as a person."

"It gives me great joy to write these special notes about Scarlett. She is a very delightful person. She is very willing to share her knowledge, skill and talent. Her teaching approach is so positive that no one can ever feel timid about wanting to learn what she is so wonderful about sharing. Her smile is not only seen at all times, but can be felt in her happiness in working with each person in her workshop. She has a wonderful ability to make each and every participant feel important and appreciated. I personally enjoyed sharing quiet time with her in my home sharing ideas, thoughts and many great laughs! Scarlett is definitely welcome to return not only to my home, but to join our Guild activities again."

"The Surprise Valley Quilters Guild is a very small guild in Northern California. In 2003 we enlisted the help of Scarlett as a judge for our fair which is held in August in Cedarville, California. She was very accommodating, not only judging the quilting division of the fair, but allowing open judging for anyone who was interested. Those of us who came learned so much from her. We were able to utilize her again in 2004. After a two year break, we enlisted her halp again in 2007 and 2008. Our fair averages between 70 and 80 quilts. We highly recommend Scarlett and look forward to having her come back in the future."
