Last night I gave a lecture at the Friendship Quilters Guild in Oxford. What a nice bunch of quilters they are and very welcoming! It was the first time I ever spoke for a quilt group. I have spoken to some sullen 10th and 11th graders but they don't count, they had to put up with me.
This quilt above really caught my eye and it is his second quilt, made from shirts. I know my friend Sujata is going to love this one.
I stayed for their show and tell which they moved up in the schedule just for me. Sit back and enjoy the show!
This is his first quilt!
They also sent me home with a box of chocolates and a skinny pin cushion. How great is that?
Thank you again Friendship Quilters Guild for a very enjoyable evening.

ReplyDeleteI'll bet they loved your lecture! What was your topic? I think you should do it for Calico Cutters! Thanks for sharing their beautiful quilts, I'm so impressed with the gentleman's quilts - wow! Those chocolates are AMAZING! We used to pass the shop on our way to visit our son when he was at the University of MD.
