Awards
The Ankeny Quilters’ Guild wants to recognize our members for quilting and quilt-related awards and accomplishments. If you have won an award or published an article or pattern please let us know so we may feature you.
The Mary Conkel Award began in 2002 and is given annually to any guild member who embodies the following characteristics: Volunteers for jobs “behind the scenes” for the guild, including making donation quilts, volunteering for shifts at the guild show, and in other ways throughout the year. May be modest about their talents, although they may be considerable, and shares that knowledge and enthusiasm of quilting with others. May be involved in other community service activities. May have offered a number of years of service to the guild.
Unfortunately, due to funding for this award running out, the Mary Conkel Award is no longer offered. Â The following are the award winners in the past.
