What is Modern quilting, everyone asks? Jacquie Gering brought over 100 lbs. of examples to show the Empire Quilters guild. This is only one of my favorites...her "log cabin" television with rabbit ears really cracked me up!
Jacquie answered lots of questions and gave her quilting story as well. Her background in sewing finally came into fruition as a leading Modern quilter only a few years ago! This engaging presentation won over many skeptics. I later heard several quilters admit they didn't really care for modern quilts before...
It was a day full of surprises for me, too. My "London Connection" aka Dorothy Hill, was in NYC for the weekend! It was so great to see her again...and to know she is now part of the Modern quilt group in London. She asked about my Hexagon quilt, so I'd better get a move on....
