Just prior to my lecture at Bear Creek Quilters Guild in suburban Dallas, TX.....the ever popular portion of any guild meeting took place...... Yup....Show and Tell.....
The makers of these quilts have allowed me to post their beautiful pieces on my blog......as is usual, this event happens quickly so pardon my inability to provide the maker's names.
The old favorite.....rail fence is a great way to use big print fabric......
But...that was just the beginning.....the quilter used her leftovers to make this quilt....awesome!
Another traditional beauty.......the use of black really makes the colors pop.
Comforting 'muddy' colors with sparks of color makes this quilt sing......
Striking!!!
Careful placement of color provides an unexpected design for this traditional pattern....
Here's Michelle......president of the guild.......I asked if I could take her picture because frankly, I couldn't stop looking at her beautiful head of hair........she's a walking Barbie Doll (that's a compliment folks.)Thank you members of Bear Creek Quilters for such a warm welcome......today we play with wool felt in my workshop....stay tuned.....
Tx's Rachel for your comment.....dah....anyone who knows me well, knows I'm TOTALLY directionally challenged......I thought was so safe saying I was in a suburb of Dallas....clearly I'm clueless! However, I do know my hotel is in Grapevine! Great group....tx's for inviting me!!!

Hi Mary,
I enjoyed your presentation last night and was very pleased to meet you finally. Your work is wonderful, so tactile.
Just so you know BCQG meets in Keller which is an outlier of Fort Worth, not Dallas. Take care,
Rachel C.
