Yesterday was a wonderful lecture at the Sassy Cat Quilt Shop. Mary W. from Vermillion spoke for two hours on her favorite subject--QUILTS!!! She spoke on style, fabrics, dating quilts. We were asked to bring our antique/vintage quilts and the stories behind them. So much eye candy! Here is Mary---
Her husband Steve helped hold quilts plus Mary brought more friends to help. Mary, Lorrie2Rs, Me, and Dee from Nebraska--

We had a wonderful time! Dee brought the most wonderful quilt made for her husband by his mother--
The picture doesn't do it justice. The pattern was by Rainbow Quilt Co. This quilt was very heavy--Dee and Lorrie2Rs arms hurt after holding and waiting for me--
Mary brought me boy quilts, boy tops, and some fruit and veggie fabrics--
When I look at them I don't see the fruits and veggies (well, maybe the bananas), I see TOT fabrics. 51 pieces--I need to think of a pattern to use them. I think I will sort them by value. A good tool to sort is using a photo editing app and change your picture to black & white--
See how much easier it is to sort for value? Mary also shared one of her patterns--it is exactly the type of pattern I like--
Mary writes great directions. There are a lap, twin, double, queen and king size patterns in it.
Still not much sewing. Sigh This is getting old.

oooh so glad to SEE you....always nice to put faces to names from the stashbuster group....
Vintage quilts are fun to see and study. I love the prairie point edge on your friend's quilt.
Thank you, Lori! Doing the program at SassyCat Quilt Co. was great fun for me, and it's an honor when so many people come and bring their quilts and the stories to share. Look at the piles of quilts people brought!
It was doubly fun because you, Lorri 2Rs and Dee were in the audience and brought great quilts. Unfortunately, it's hard to spend much time with people at these programs, but it was great to see you three in the audience.
I never thought of the fruit and veggie fabrics as tone-on-tone prints. Wow, that adds another dimension to them. Can't wait to see what you do with them!
Thanks again for all your help with the show, and for quilting my tops for the young guys!
What fun that must have been. It is so good to put faces with names. Thanks for posting.
