Charlotte Angotti

This week I have felt much better.  Yea!!!  I was able to go to Greater Columbia Quilt Guild for the monthly meeting.  I was really looking forward it it.  The guest speaker was Charlotte Angotti.  You can see her here. http://www.charlotteangotti.com/  She is a nationally know teacher and has moved to SC.  Charlotte is funny and talented.  She had us laughing so much that I had tears just flowing.  I thought Joyce, sitting next to me would fall on the floor laughing.

Here are a few of the quilts she showed.  I cant tell the stories, you have to here them from her.  I would probably get them wrong any way.

Happy Quilting, Vicki

Yesterday was GCQ meeting. What fun. We had a trunk show that was fabulous. The guest speeker was Lou Ann Byars. Here are a few pictures. The light is not great, but they are beautiful quilts.

Here is Laura and a sample of her work. If you are interested check out Laura's website at http://www.artfabrik.com/

Laura was the guest speaker at the annual Quilters of SC meeting this past Saturday. She was funny, entertaining and just delightful. She even sang songs for us. I took a workshop class from her the Wednesday before. What fun. Very liberating. I learned FREE CUTTING! just whacking the fabric and fusing together. Our class was called Small Houses. I am adding embellishments to mine and then will have a picture for you. In the mean time here are pictures from the class.

Dont you just love these hand dyed fabrics? I sure do.

Greater Columbia Quilt Guild

Well, I finally did it. I joined GCQ! I have been thinking and talking about it for quite a while. So, today was the day. The program was great. Vicki Perry's mother did a trunk show. She started quilting in 1995 and has done wonderful work. She appliques and hand quilts. Show and tell was very good. Two different gals had made quilts of their houses, without knowing the other was doing the same thing. This was great. Now, I guess I will have to try that also. Will have to wait till spring to get a good picture, so I can get some green in there. LOL For those that dont know it, I have a hard time using green. It was a fun morning. I am looking forward to enjoying the new group. Dont worry Orangeburg, you are still my first guild. I already know a lot of the folks, from meeting them at our state guild, Quilters of SC.

After the meeting, DH and I had lunch, test drove a car (thinking only), then met DS at the doctors office. OH! forgot to add a trip to JoAnns in there, of course.

Happy Quilting,
Vicki

Joe the Quilter

Yesterday I visited Greater Columbia Quilt Guild. What fun. The guest speaker was Joe Cunningham, Joe the Quilter. He was fun and funny. Joe played the guitar and sang a song about Joe the Quilter, from 18th century England. Joe would sing a few verses and show a quilt about the verses. You can find out more about Joe here http://www.joethequilter.com/

Happy Quilting
