What I love about quilting most is the individual expression. Even identical twins have their own creations. Roberta Horton and Mary Mashuta are a perfect example. They brought their class act and some of their quilts to the Empire Guild today. They share a house, but not their workrooms. They work on the same themes, but the results are entirely different. Below are just a few examples of their work. One of their quotes..."It's not what you look at, it's what you see"
I would like to live in their house, wouldn't you?
And speaking of houses, I was the lucky winner of the Block-of-the-Month raffle. Each house was individually designed and executed. Here is one of the houses made by Maxine Townsend-Broderick. That cute little dormer won my heart.
Quilting is a large world with many paths .
Oh, I forgot they were there yesterday! I was planning on coming. Oh well, so glad you took some pictures to share, thanks. And yes, I would love to live in their house.
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Helen! Hope all is well with you - spring is here!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the twins. They were certainly pioneers when they began. I gave away most of my quilting books a couple of years ago but held onto Fabric Makes the Quilt.
ReplyDeleteI HOWLED at your comment on my blog! Menial labor, indeed! Too true. Thanks for the laugh out loud.
Great photos! Sorry I missed the guild meeting on Saturay. That was a beautiful BOM block. Now to come up with next month's block asap!
ReplyDeleteHugs to you Helen.
Your blog is wonderful.

What a wonderful post. I took a class long ago from Roberta Horton. You can certainly tell who made what. Plus you won the BOM. Wow is that great or what! Bonnie
ReplyDeleteI just made a signature quilt block that was inspired by the basket quilt in your photo!
