October was national speaker month at the Museum Quilt Guild. We were thrilled to have Wendy Butler Berns come for three days. Many of us enjoyed one or both of the classes she offered. But all who attended our regular meeting were treated to a wonderful lecture about the stories behind our quilts, and a great assortment of Wendy's pictorial quilts.
Some of Wendy's smaller quilts with patterns available.
A group shot of the Friday "Out on a Limb" class at the end of the day.
Our Show and Tell was, as always, worth the price of admission.
Kathi Everett worked with Julie Brandon to print this image she used as a mandala for a group project the ArtCGirlz did in September.
