May 2016 Guild Meeting

Award winning textile artist and instructor Betty Pillsbury gave a presentation on the history of crazy quilts.   Betty’s talk was accompanied by a trunk show featuring crazy quilts she has collected over the years along with her own beautiful textile work.   Due to a lengthy business meeting, the guild members’ own show & tell was limited to those “have to show because they are being given away” quilts.
