Quilting Page

I have been quilting for about 20 years but still have not achieved much of a state of proficiency.  I forgive
myself for such inadequacies and forge ahead.  I will never win a prize for my quilts.  I will never enter them
in any kind of contest or display them at a quilt show.  I do enjoy working on them.

 But, even more, I enjoy the wonderful women I have met in my guilds.  I belong to two guilds in Olympia, Washington.  One is called Washington Stars Quilt Guild.  It is a large guild with about 170 members give or take a few.  I am the secretary of the guild.  I have been doing this job for a couple of years now. 

In conjunction with WSQG, I belong to two small bees - one is called Sewciety Girls.  I don't meet with them often as they meet during the day while I work.  The other one is called Evening Stars because they meet in the evening.  The focus in Evening Stars is hand quilting.  I am hoping to get better at this and actually, someday, finish the quilt from the first quilting class I took about 20 years ago in Pt. Angeles.  Of course I now do not like the fabric choices for this quilt but I am determined to finish it sometime.

The other guild I belong to is called Quilter's Quorum.  It is a smaller guild that limits membership to 50.  It meets one Saturday a month and is  low key.

Both WSQG and QQ have a retreat once a year.  WSQG is in May and QQ is in August.  Both retreats are at a retreat center near Roy, Washington.  Each retreat is 2 - 3 nights long.  They are great fun and extremely productive.

I have not taken pictures of my own quilts so I am substituting pictures of quilts that are similar to what I have done.
