Here is a sampling of the quilts that were part of Rosemary's trunk show. The talk was focused on 30's quilts - the history and how that is translating to our current quilting styles. Rosemary is a good speaker and shares lots of fun tidbits about the time period. You can reach her through
her website.
EDIT TO ADD: SAD NOTE - ROSEMARY PASSED AWAY IN JANUARY, 2014.
We also had a SURPRISE visitor. A week ago I found
another Caledonia Quilt Guild on the internet - it turns out they are from Caledonia, New York. I contacted them through their facebook page to see if they would be interested in a wee cross-border challenge between the Caledonia guilds. The gal I corresponded with was enthusiastic and promised to get back to me after their next guild meeting. Well - they sent an EMISSARY to our meeting. This is Margaret - she traveled 2 1/2 hours to meet us, and she's quite a character!
She
smuggled brought 30 bottles of Mary Ellen's Best Press across the border as gifts for each of our members, and sold a bunch of tickets on their raffle quilt. She came with her mom and was pretty thrilled that they were lucky enough to see Rosemary's trunk show. They stayed until almost 9 pm, then drove home another 2 1/2 hours. I hope on her next visit she will call ahead so one of us can make up a guest room for her.
Coming up on June 12 is our annual year's end POT LUCK SUPPER. Bring your best fare, and don't forget your dishes & cutlery. We will be eating at 6:30 pm.
