Not Your Grandmother's Quilt Show…..

Last weekend I helped at the Wandering Foot Quilt Guild's show in Oak Creek. The guild hangs a show every-other-year to showcase the amazing work members create! And it never disappoints! Color, pattern, creativity fill the room. And believe me - the room starts out very beige and frankly boring.

Within a matter of hours many busy hands gather together and hang the quilts - large and small. Modern and traditional, hand quilted and machine stitched. There is something for anyone who loves quilts - or frankly who loves art. Quilting is another medium that lets your creativity flow…and half the fun is seeing some new method, or color combination or a pattern that, as a quilter, you just have to run home and try!

And each show features some kind of "challenge quilt" - this year members were invited to go wild and decorate a woman's "undergarment". There was a small entry fee and the proceeds were contributed to the fight against breast cancer. As you will see - imagination ruled!

So congrats to all my friends at Wandering Foot - great job! I look forward to the next one!
