September Program with Marie Strait
On last Thursday night at the Manteca membership meeting Marie Strait who was the very first president of our guild came and gave us a program on scrap quilting. It was a beautiful trunk show. Marie has made lots of scrap quilts. She gave us lots of tips on how she stores her fabric and how she goes about making her quilts. Marie makes her quilts big and small. Here is the detail on a scrapie star. This quilt was a challenge in her guild......she lives in Los Gatos and for this challenge received a bag with fabric in it that has to be used in the challenge. Beautiful baskets. Love this log cabin. Christmas scrap quilt. I really like a quilt with black in it and really like this one made with half square triangles. Black, red and white.......beautiful. My kind of quilt......bright colors with black. My ear is doing better.....the Dr. took the packing out and now I can hear again.
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.

It looks like it was a good meeting, I wish I could have made it. I can't wait to see what you made in class.
