January Hospitality Quilt Guild 2011
Posted By drsao on January 5, 2011
The Richmond Hospitality Quilt Guild Meeting today was really lots of fun. We had a record number of people attending – what a great way to start the new year.
I saw a lot of people knitting at the meeting today – so I said, “SELF, next time you should bring knitting – and just MAYBE you would get your socks done….now on my TO DO LIST for 2o11!” Carolyn Howerton was heading to a knit shop after the guild meeting – I wonder if SHE will be knitting next time. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I DID NOT GET A PICTURE OF CAROLYN TODAY – she was wearing a QVC jacket that I just LOVE!
The program today featured Ann Shibut and her antique quilts. It was just wonderful to see these quilts – many from the 1800’s! Ann hand quilted many of the quilts herself. I am so impressed by that and every time I see hand quilting it just renews my desire to become good at it! I am so glad that I got to go to the meeting today!
I took a few pictures that I would like to share from her collection!
-
- Ann’s Mother made this one and she remembers this on her bed as a little girl
-
- Ann made this one for her son – now a grown up
-
- Not an antique – but it is already assessed at $27OO – WAY TO GO ANN
-
- Donation Quilts on Parade
-
- Violet’s Show and Tell for her new namesake “VIOLET”
We signed up for the bus trip to the Mid Atlantic Quilt Show today at the meeting – we will be going for the day February 24. I am really looking forward to it.
