by Muriel Richardson, Metro Quilt Expo Chair

 I am thrilled to announce that Kim Baird has been selected as our ‘Member Spotlight’ for the 2024 Metro Quilt Expo.  Kim is one of the founding members of the Quilters’ Guild of North Dakota and was instrumental in changing the name of the organization to Fargo Moorhead Quilters.   Kim has shared her knowledge of quilting and fiber arts through lectures, demos, and classes with the quilting community. Her body of work spans five decades and illustrates a progression in styles. She received an MA in textile history and quilt studies from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, NB. Clare Degerness will curate and oversee the exhibit.

Thank you to members who submitted suggestions for this prestigious distinction.
