Busy Day 01-12-16

Today was the Surfside Quilters Guild meeting with speaker Sherry Werum.  She does several different programs and our VP/Programs had chosen Mosaic Quilts.  She is an excellent speaker and showed about 30 quilts from 12" to a gorgeous King size.  Her husband, Mark, accompanies her as holder/folder and does a little ditty on his homemade mandolin (which is gorgeous and very professionally  finished).   The quilts are all based on ancient mosaics  in Greece, Italy, Israel, and points in between.  Her point is that many of the American quilt patterns could be copies of these ancient mosaics - Baby's Blocks, Attic Windows, Dresden Plate, Trip Around the World, Cathedral Window, etc..  All very interesting and her quilts are beautifully done.  Consider her for a program at your home guild.

The sun was shining and the temp did get up to 70F, but it still seems cold to me!  Only a few Show and Tell quilts - guess everyone outdid themselves for Christmas.
