JOE THE QUILTER

Joe the quilter, Joe Cunningham, was at our guild this week.  I just love his work, his enthusiasm, and his love of his craft/art.  Oh heck, I even love his guitar playing.  

His lecture was a sampling of his most recent quilts. He started his quilting journey in 1979.  He told us he really only makes at least six-foot square quilts.


I took his workshop and really enjoyed the freeing experience of just letting it evolve and grow up to be what it wants, not what or how we think it should.  Oh sure, there are certain guidelines and fences along the way.  But, no mistakes, no warts, no crying.  Here are a few examples of how we played.

Hope your week is going well and

Quilt happy,

Marilyn
