Just what I needed. I attended the last meeting of the year of Birmingham Quilters Guild yesterday. Our new year starts in September. I had not attended for several months, and it was such a joy to see everyone again. I got so many hugs to take back to Vann--I still haven't delivered them all.
Gail C. has served in many capacities in our guild, including current newsletter editor, a post she has held for several years. In 2000-01, Gail served as president. At the end of her term, she asked for basket blocks for her president's quilt. She got oodles of them. Gail hasn't yet got around to putting those blocks together, so she brought them all to show, pinned to a backing fabric. I chose to take a pic of the backet block that I made (and had forgotten about). I hope I can find the pattern that I made it from. I love that block.
And finally, here is Roy K.'s "Sudoku" quilt. Roy has never served as guild president, but he might as well. The man is indispensable to the operations of BQG. He is half of the quilting team of Betty & Roy K., well known in our midst for creating amazing works of quilting art.This post was migrated from the old blog.

Beautiful quilt show! Such a nice tradition too. Your quilt is my favorite.
Hope things go well with the chemo this week. It is a hard hard thing to get through.

Those are great quilts Susan. Just wonderful. Thanks for sharing them. That doggy quilt is sooo nice and sorta sad too. At least she has a reminder of her little dog.
I'm still praying for Van. I hope he's doing well.

Susan, I am in awe of all of you fabulous quilters. Your share so much beauty through your art. Thank you so much for allowing us to view these beauties.
I hope this round of chemo isn't too kick butt. I was surprised to read that Vann can have fresh vegetables while on chemo.
BLTs sound fabulous.

I'm thinking of Vann and you as well. Those BLTs sound delightful. I hope you guys can enjoy a nice relaxing day.
Did you get your package yet? You know the one that took a million years for me to get to you.

Beautiful quilts, one and all! I love the various ways the owners chose to put their blocks together, too.
I think the interesting pastel choices make your quilt sing in a lovely way. No wonder this quilt is a favorite or yours.
Hugs and prayers are with Vann and with you.

These were delightful to see. I am so sorry for your friend losing Patches. I hope her other dog recovers well from his snake bite. The quilt of Patches is just beautiful--I love his happy smile.
