Saturday was my first meeting at the
St Louis Modern Quilt Guild.
Miss Nancy and I ventured to the city of St Louis which for us is about 45 minutes away. We weren't quite sure what to expect, but I am sure we didn't expect all this wonderful show and tell..
Since I'm new to the guild, I can't really add names to the faces yet, so I won't comment....

You can find
Oh Fransson here and there is a link on her right side bar to her free quilt patterns. I took my little
flying geese in a circle quilt and that
brown/green pillow to share..
We had a great time and there were some very interesting ideas coming up. One is a brown bag swap and another is a quilt show as early as next summer....guess I better get crackin..
I am packing today to go on a little mini-retreat tomorrow..
See ya later this week.
Nancy
What fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice way to start into a new guild. Lovely and inventive quilts.
ReplyDeleteI need more information! I have been following OhFransson and was really disapointed that St. Louis didn't have a Modern Quilt Guild. I guess I was wrong they do have one and it meets on Saturday. That would be perfect for me!
ReplyDeleteWow talented ladies at your guild!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at your mini retreat!!
