| fractured quilting |
I had to miss the Friday night portion of the gathering, but I understand the kids from Mississippi School of the Arts did a great job. I did get to go to the go to Saturday session and it was wonderful. First we had a lot of announcements of quilt shows around the state. There are a lot coming up. Then Rhonda Burlingame was sick so another member got up and did the program on fussy cutting. She showed some quilts using a technique she call fractured quilting. Isn't that a cool look? I am not sure I want to do that, but it is seriously cool.

Next Diane Williams, a storyteller and art quilter, came and told us a story and told us about her quilting journey.
Next up was a bed turning. They had asked people to bring antique quilts. I brought 2 quilts that my grandmother, Frances Turnage had made and 4 quilts that my great grandmother, Connie Billingsley, on my mother's side had made. They were a big hit.
After a nice lunch they had Joan Alliston did a program on Dear Jane quilts. These are made with 4.5 inch blocks....I feel them calling my name...but I must resist till I get some things off of my plate.
Finally, my dear friend, Judy, wearing the print jacket, was installed as president. She will do a great job.
and of course there was great shopping. Love our quilt show vendors!
