I did a quilt talk at my homemakers club this week. They asked for a talk on quilting, but that is such a huge topic. So I started with a slide show of a project from the start to finish in pictures. This quilt top was made in the 50's which is 62 years ago. My client wanted it to be a wall hanging. So I stippled it, sewed the binding on, and made a sleeve on the back for a curtain rod hanger to support it on the wall. Then I had brought with me ten quilts that I had made that had different quilting techniques displayed. I showed each and then talked about each of their highlights. It was fun. I also was the hostess serving coffee. We had apple pie made from the apples I got from my friend.
