Attended the January meeting of the Tidewater Quilt Guild Night Chapter last evening. Despite howling wind and heavy rain there were 100 people there! The speaker was a local quilter who has an amazing collection (400+) of quilts from days gone by. Last night he brought circa 1935 quilts that he and his wife had collected over the last 25 years. Some were collected as finished tops, others as tops that needed finishing, which they completed using vintage and reproduction fabrics of the period. They are all fantastic and I hope you enjoy looking at them!
It was especially nice that he passed them around so that we all could get a closer look. He is a big fan of loving the quilts versus keeping them locked away. We sure did enjoy them.
