March 2019 Meeting

3/28/2019

Our March meeting was certainly jam packed with quilting goodness!  Above is the show and share from our talented members, including Kim Soper's quilt that was displayed at Quiltcon and the lovely label on the back that shares the names of all the women who contributed to the project.  Below that is a baby quilt that Louise Brogan made inspired by Kim's quilt!  Then we were treated to a lovely lecture and trunk show by local quilt appraiser Joyce Fischer.  She had so many interesting quilts, some dating from the 1840's!  Her talk covered things like what "cheddar" is (a particularly popular orange quilting cotton from the 1840-1890's) and why you should think about getting your own quilts appraised and how she uses certain colors or fabric combinations to date quilts.  And the importance of labeling any quilt you make!  I found the appraisal information very interesting, if you have a disaster at your house, an insurance company will typically only value quilts for the cost of materials or even less (and we all know the cost of materials is only one factor in the "value" of a quilt!  But if it is appraised to account for that labor and aesthetic value they will typically honor such appraisals for replacement costs.  Below are a few of the lovely quilts she shared:
