Welcome to the 2019 Quilters Meet and Greet!
This event is being hosted by Benita Skinner of Victoriana Quilt Designs. Thank you Benita, for inviting me and for offering wonderful prizes.
I have been quilting for about 30 years and I love all styles and techniques, but primarily I am a traditional quilter who loves hand work.
I live in rural Connecticut with my husband, son, chocolate lab, Coco and new kitten, Nutmeg.
I've picked my Jubilee Quilt to share and tell you more about.
I made this quilt to commemorate my 50th Birthday which was in 2012. It was inspired by a quilt at the Newark Museum in New Jersey.
Jubilee won Best Hand Quilting at the Vermont Quilt Festival and was a Finalist at AQS Lancaster and AQS Paducah. It was also on display at the Houston Quilt Festival and Chicago Quilt Festival.
It won Best at my local fair and also Best Hand Quilt in Connecticut Fairs in 2018. So it has been well traveled!
I enjoy hand work and needle turn applique. This quilt is hand quilted using wool batting and all the berries are stuffed.
Here are a few more of my recent quilts~
I invite you to look through my archives and check out the tabs at the top of this page. I have some tutorials and instructions from past block swaps that I have hosted.
