Today's May meeting of Birmingham Quilters Guild was dedicated to red-and-white quilts. Some members brought their own red-and-white creations, and our program, given by quilter Bonnie Spencer, included a slide show of the red-and-white quilt collection at the American Folk Art Museum in New York. Sadly though, I didn't stay for the program but left right after show-and-tell. I had sat as long as I could endure; Fibromonster chased me out of the building, and I came home.
Here are a few photos I took of our show-and-tell before Fibromonster gave chase.
Members' Red-and-White Quilts
Not So Red-and-White Quilts
This probably looks like one quilt in the photo. But actually, it's two--one big quilt in the back with a smaller quilt having in front. These are our president Vasha's quilts made from her last year's president's blocks. This is the last year of her tenure. She has been a great president.
This is my "September" quilt, all quilted (by Craig Heyer) and bound.
I love the little dragonflies that Craig quilted all across the quilt.

What glorious red/white quilt were brought for this quilt guild presentation! Love the not-so-red/white quilts, too, for almost every quilt I've ever seen have been a joy to behold. Thanks for the up-close photos of the quilting, too.
Love your September quilt with its dragonfly quilting! Well done you and well quilted Craig!!
I'm so sorry that the fibromonster has come back to bother you to the max. Yesterday and today the lupusfatigue monster has visited me, too. Bother and bummer. I wish us both better days tomorrow and all of the tomorrows thereafter. That wish goes for all who need it, too.
Hugs!

HI Susan - I absolutely love red and white quilts and I'm saving up red and white fabrics to make one of my own. These are just beautiful, what talented ladies. Thank you so much for sharing. And your September quilt is beautiful too. I remember when U said U were making it but I didn't remember seeing the finished quilt. I love it and yes the quilted dragonfly is just the right touch. I hope you are feeling better today. My cardiac issues seem to be under control....for now. :-)
Wishing you many blessings,
Linda

That is a fantastic idea for a program at Quilt Guild!
Sure hope the monster hits the road soon.

Oh, my goodness, Susan. I love that twister quilt! Now, that's my kind of RWB quilt. Our guild challenge this year is a RWB quilt. Sometimes I participate and sometimes not, but this may be an incentive. My congrats to whoever made that one.
