Quilting, not a lost art

While I was volunteering at Perth Community Care Centre, some of our Lanark County Quilters Guild came to visit!
Carole led the group through this beautiful piece of artistic endeavour.
All handled with gloves!

Carole explained the origins of the quilts. They were beautiful to see!

    I've always admired the effort that goes into quilting. It's impressive.

    The quilts are amazing. I have been to a couple of quilt shows and am always so impressed by the artistry.

    My step sister loves to quilt. She has all the big machines and makes wonderful quilts. - Margy

    Tis! Thanks for visiting. My daughter made a quilt from her husband's old t-shirts and sweatshirts for their king-sized bed! I live vicariously through my children.
    cheers

    Isn't quilting a wonderful art? I have a close friend who is a quilter, and she and her husband once took me to a quilt show. I was amazed at the variety, although I'd been expecting the beauty and certainly wasn't disappointed.

    I love quilting! I make lots of children's quilts for charity, but mine are tied, not quilted. I just love putting together the patterns! Thanks for showing these lovely quilts.
