One of the quilt guild members made these cute Easter cookies for the meeting last night. Our gust speaker was Kay England, she said one thing she loves is cookies.
This is Kay giving her very funny lecture and great trunk show. We laughed from the moment she got on stage until she finished. I highly recommend her for your guild programs. This is her tribute to Betsy Ross quilt. Some of the information she gave on Betsy was she "supposedly" taught George Washington how to make a 5 pointed star. We don't know if she made the first American flag but she did design and make many. She out lived 3 husbands.
This is Kay's favorite antique quilt, a nine patch from the civil war era.
This Burgoyne surrounded quilt is also from the civil war era. Kay hand quilted this one.
We also had our annual Earth Day quilt show, I took a few pictures of some of my favorites. This first bug is from a pattern.
This clown fish I believe is also from a pattern. Her colors were beautiful.
This was my favorite, I love the bug jars and wonderful little sayings and poems were sewed on.
One of our guild members doesn't quilt, she's a rug hooker. I love this rug, the style is Pennsylvania Dutch done in the fraktur method. Ok, what that means I can't remember. She design the rug and washed some of the wool together so the colors would run into each other and tone them down.
My husband and I are leaving for Florida to spend Easter with our kids and grandchildren. Part of their Easter basket goodies are these pillow cases I made them. My friend Mary has a wonderful sewing machine that does embroidery, she put their names on them.I hope you have a Blessed Easter and I'll see you April 20.
