Freddy Moran
On Saturday I attended the Modesto Quilt Show. I was able to set down and hear Freddy give a talk on her quilting, how she started and how she designs quilts. She showed off a few of her quilts and as I was in the second row, was able to get some good pictures. You will see a few heads in these shots....one of the ladies sitting in the first row.
This is a beautiful red and black quilt. She began with one block and just started adding more until she felt it was done. Freddy is known for her house blocks. Here is one of her many house block quilts.
This quilt shows a black dotted cat with flowers around and a cool white dotted fabric for the background. Freddy has been working on a series of quilts based on the day of the dead. Lots of beads added to this quilt after it was quilted. She uses the time when watching TV with her husband to do the hand work.
I am a quilter. The grandaughter of a dairyman. I was married to a dairyman but am now divorced and have a daughter. I work for a dairy trade group. Love cows and the country life. I was born here in the big valley and have never lived more then 15 miles away from where I was born. I buy way too much fabric, patterns and quilting books, belong to two quilt guilds and will never have enough time to finish all the projects I want to do.
