Guild Meeting

Eddie Landreth was the special speaker at our guild meeting Monday night.  He brought a number of his quilts with him for a trunk show.   You can go to his blog, The Arkansas Man Quilter,  to see some much better pictures than I have taken and also to learn more about him.   He's only been quilting a short time and yet has accomplished so much.  What an inspiration!
(This post was edited to rearrange pictures and add one that was missing) 
 

Thirties prints--blocks made by members of Arkansas Quilters Guild, sashed, assembled  and quilted by Eddie.
 
 
 


This is a close-up of the last quilt Eddie has completed.


 
 
 
 
Following Eddie's program was our regular show and tell.
 
Our youngest member, Callie, shows off a quilt top she made with help from her grandmother.  The center block was one purchased at one of our silent auctions.  Great job, Callie!
 
Cathy made a neat tote that has elastic in the sides.  It is big enough to carry a quilt.
 
Pat shows off her Swoon quilt.  She says this pattern is addictive!
 
Sue shows a lovely quilt she made as a wedding gift for her daughter.
 
Cookie shows a king size quilt she made and said it is 150 miles around the edge of it!  (I guess it took forever to bind!)
 
Marge made a sweet baby quilt for a grand child.



It was a good meeting and a great start to a new year!  Until next time~~~Gwen
