This past Saturday was the March meeting of my quilting guild, the NYC Metro Mod Quilters Guild, in Manhattan. So fun! I love seeing my pals, hanging out and talking about quilts and quilting- and of course seeing everyone's awesome work.
I brought my latest herringbone to show and tell and got some nice feedback. That was nice, and I picked up a bunch of free stuff from the giveaway table. Someone gave away what must have been $100 worth of thread! I got that along with a bunch of fabric.
Pictured above is a quilt pieced by Eva, our guild's secretary, with orphan blocks a bunch of us donated at the last retreat. That is my cat block in the center!! And my book block on the right hand side. But I was so, so happy to see my cat block in the quilt and featured so prominently. I made that block along with some other Alice in Wonderland themed blocks a while back and left them in a pile because I didn't like them, and I liked the cat least of all. It's so nice to see it brought back to life. I don't know where the quilt will end up but I have to say, I really, really want it. The chances of me getting it are slim to none, but still.
We also heard a detailed wrap up of the recent Quilt Con show in Houston, which is the annual quilt show put on by the Modern Quilt Guild. It was really neat to see photos of many of the quilts featured in the show, including several by our members, and hear our members' experiences of attending.
What a fun afternoon!
