Mountain Meadow Quilt Guild May

Lillian Arnold celebrating her 90th birthday at the guild meeting. I took Baltimore applique from Lillian in 1999 thru 2001. Great teacher and a wonderful person. She is still living in Sunriver and quilting.
The speaker was Kim Diehl from Idaho. She mostly appliques with invisible thread using freezer paper templates. It was amazing how many quilts she brought for show. On Wednesday, she had a workshop for 20 ladies which I was fortunate enough to attend by helping my sister in law with her quilt. Barb bought me the pattern so now I can try that when I get back from Alaska. Maybe I'll have some Alaskian fabric to use in my quilt.
These two quilts were some that she brought. Her books are titled "Simply" something. Like Simply Pleasures, etc. I think she has 4 books out now.
We learned how to make the flowers, leaves, and stems in the class. It was very interesting and lots of fun. It was great to be here during this week. Couldn't have planned it better.

It was great to see lots of old friends and enjoy the guild meeting. I felt right and home. Thanks everyone.
