Meeting Some Quilters in Maryland

Meeting Some Quilters in Maryland

This past week my friend and I went to a quilt conference at the DAR Museum in Washington, DC.  While there, we were invited to attend a meeting of a local quilt guild, the Uhuru Quilters Guild in Lanham, MD.  The guild is celebrating 25 years as a guild and a wonderful display of their quilts is on exhibit at the Prince Georges African American Museum and Cultural Center in North Brentwood, MD until the end of January 2020.  More information on the guild and the show can be found at:

SHOW AND TELL at the quilt show opening.

2019 Home for the Holidays at the Roberson - Binghamton, NY

Once again our trees are up at the Roberson, brimming with hand made ornaments from local quilters and fiber artists.  I added photos of some other whimsical trees - Dr. Seuss and Peanuts were my favorites.  The image on the left show my latest needle felted star, we had a workshop at the November Lamb to Loom meeting, hosted by Ann Merriwether.  I added a bit of blue roving for eye make-up and added some stitched eye lashes - she's my "Fallen Star."  There are several examples of back-strap weaving - Santa garland and other needle felted gnomes.  The Stepping Stones quilt guild tree is showcased in front of one of the member's quilt on the wall behind it.  There are numerous quilts on loan from the guild throughout the exhibit.  Both groups will be giving demos this year at the Roberson.
