Redbud Quilt Guild

Founder's Day

Yesterday I attended the
annual Founder's Day Luncheon
of the Redbud Quilt Guild in
Anderson, Indiana.  This guild
is celebrating their 31st year.
One of the great things about
living in Quilt Country is being
around so many people with a
similar interest,  this just
magnifies the level of creativity.

Members were asked to bring

in their oldest quilts.  Oh the stories,

we heard!  Tales of Moms and Grandmas

and great-Grandmas, and there always

seemed to me a mention of the comfort

of wrapping in a quilt and feeling safe

in all the stories.  We heard about quilts

made from favorite clothing and some quilts

made by hand before machines and then

stories of quilts from when Granny got her

first treadle machine.  It was beautiful!

I apologize for the quality of the

photos but the quilts were held up very

quickly and fabric has a lot of

movement.  I hope you enjoy them.

And some new pieces

were shown as well.

This is someone's version of

my Pursuit of Scrappiness design.
