September quilt experiences

September 7 (first Wednesday of the month)
- meeting of the Hospitality Chapter of the Richmond Quilters' Guild.

The program was not memorable but I always love show + tell. It always gives me so many ideas. Look at the setting of these blocks.







There were several examples of "memory" t-shirt quilts.




And our own Janet showed her Row by Row from Missouri!




Thursday September 8
- I had heard about a display of quilts by the Country School Quilters who meet in Montpelier VA. http://countryschoolquilters.blogspot.com
James wanted to come along and we both enjoyed the display very much.

There was a lot of diversity. I think there were 80 pieces and we liked a lot. Here is a selection:















I was invited to the monthly meeting of the group and decided to attend. It was very interesting. I was a bit early so I went to see the display again first.



The next two are a new and interesting technique. Outlining with the sewing machine and then coloring "in the lines" (best seen in the second picture).



The month' program was about Dresden plates.











Unfortunately it is a night meeting but the whole group was very friendly to newcomers. I was invited to join. Have to think about it.
