| A group-designed and created quilt |
I'm a member of the Northern Lights Quilters Guild that meets in Lebanon, New Hampshire once a month. I've been a member for a bit more than three years now.
I doubt there's anywhere on planet earth where you can find more creativity than in a quilt guild. This group is pretty big—about 125 members—and there's enough diversity among us that all sorts of quilting gets represented from very traditional to interpretations of crop circles (you have to see these pieces to believe them) to very artsy and everything in between.
Last year, I coordinated a small show of quilts at the Lebanon Coop's cafe, a great space to exhibit art by the community. Based on the feedback we got, it was quite a hit so I'm doing a second one this year.
The show will be hung on November 1 so I've started collecting quilts from members to be shown in it. Since I'm going to be deeply engaged in the memorial celebration for my Mom over the weekend, I thought I'd share some photos of these lovely creations with you.
If you're in the neighborhood from November 1 through December 5 of this year, drop into the Lebanon Coop and check these out. You have to admit, getting a dose of color at this grayest time of the year is good for whatever ails you.
