Thank you Greater Ann Arbor Quilt Guild! I had a wonderful time visiting your guild. Everyone was friendly and welcoming.
I made a great new friend, Julie H. We have so many things in common. She invited me to her home to see her antique quilts like this one~
But first I want to share some photos from the guild events.
I forgot to take more photos at the Applique' Workshop. We had a great time learning to make our own patterns and composing original pieces.
The guild meeting is held at a Washtenaw Community College. They had a great vendor, charity quilt area, a dye-cut company demo, and more.
They had a fabulous book sale - I found 2 great books.
Beautiful venue for my lecture on Scrap Quilts.
We had a fun workshop on Sunday Building Houses!
how fun are these trolls?
Messy fun!
The ladies made so many happy houses. We all wished this was a 2-day workshop to continue the creativity and set them.
My visit to Julie's home was nothing less than incredible! She and her husband were so warm and inviting. We had an old fashioned bed turning.
Drum roll.........
My favorite star
Is this eclipse fabric?
Triple cording on the binding - oh my! I literally almost swooned a few times.
Julie has a beautiful collection of pristine kit quilts.
Looks like my header!
gorgeous hand quilting on this Amish Style quilt.
By the way, this represents
only part of her collection. I saw about 60 quilts and there were more in a special quilt vault. I hope to visit Julie again someday.
Here is Julie's stunning quilt. It is a Sue Garman pattern. Lovely.
Thank you, Julie, for allowing me to share photos from our special quilt sharing visit. It was such a special treat!
Have a great week! It's fair weekend here in CT - yay yay yay
