Cotton Patch Quilters

I had great fun visiting and presenting a lecture to the Cotton Patch Quilters the other night.  This guild is located in Athens, Georgia.  The Cotton Patch Quilters meet at the Lyndon House which in and of itself is beautiful and the meeting room perfect.  Athens is the home of the University of Georgia where my daughter earned her degree. My daughter also stayed in Athens to teach for 3 years...so for close to 8 years, it became our family's second home.  It was such fun to be back again....another surprise....I was taken to dinner at The Last Resort Grill - a favorite of ours while Jill was in Athens.  It was every bit as lovely and delicious as I remember it to be....below...they are redoing the side of the building.

 Show and Tell is always a highlight of every guild and this was no exception....only problem is there's not enough time to see each quilt as long as you might want....I missed everyone's name except for the first quilt but was given a thumbs up anyway to show everyone's work.  This next piece was made by Joan Garland and it was simply amazing in person. She calls it her "Bonnie Hunter" quilt based on a pattern by Bonnie.

 I wish I could remember this next gals name (on the right) but do recall everyone calling her the "prolific" quilter....She did have many quilts to share and each one wonderful.

 This quilt was spectacular and I could have poured over it for hours.

 Here's another from our "prolific quilter"....

 This next gal made quilts and then....

 made another from the leftovers....and so on....and so on.....

 Being a cat lover, I really bonded with this adorable Kitty Cat quilt.

I had a wonderful time with a great bunch of gals and I thank all the Cotton Patch Quilts for their warm and welcoming hospitality.....And Anita.....I missed you!
