She brought her quilt Storm at Sea, which won 3rd place at International Quilt Festival Houston 2008, to share with the guild. It's an original design, king-sized, took her 10 years to make/complete and is hand-quilted. I tell you....it's quite stunning up close and personal.
I wish I had been able to get better (and closer photos) but it was not held up for long so I just pointed and shot! The woman in the green jacket is Evelyn's aunt - doesn't she look proud and happy?
We have some pretty talented ladies in our guild too so I'll just take a moment to share with you just one of the quilts that were shown that I really liked.
I told you it was a good day, but I haven't even talked about our guest speaker yet! Stay tuned...

Astounding quilt
Don't you just love it when you meet a member of a previous generation who's still quilting and going strong?! It gives me inspiration. What a beautiful quilt this woman made -- how wonderful for you to have seen it in person.

Spectacular quilt from the photo--I can only imagine how much more exciting it was to see it up close. Amazing.
