This month's three of us gathered over herb tea and raspberry squares.Show & Tell
Susan is truly our quilt expert as an appreciator, historian and collector, as well as a maker. She was in New York at the end of March for the incredible exhibit "Infinite Variety: Three Centuries of Red and White Quilts." Staged at the Armory, the five-day exhibit was funded by Joanna S. Rose. It was an eightieth birthday gift from Joanna’s husband—the opportunity to see her whole collection, 650 quilts, at one time. It was also a gift to New York as admission was free to the
public.
The weekend before Susan traveled down to Portland for the summer meeting of the Columbia Willamette Quilt Study Group. Read about the meeting and TImeless Quilts exhibit at the Oregon History Museum at cwqsg.blogspot.com.Sally Wagner, an original Piece Makers member, joined us for the evening. She attended a workshop at Grunewald Guild this summer. In the last 20 years, she had taken one workshop a summer there, with only a few years off. See www.grunewaldguild.com for more on the Guild.
Patricia reported that her sewing space has become more transformed. Before she used to sew in her dining room. These days, you can dine in her sewing room.
Diane Roubal sent three bins of quality quilting fabric to the meeting in Patricia's car. Sally took one home to give to a friend on welfare who loves to make quilts. One looks like it has Miriam's name on it and the other has Flora's.
