Cindy Brick - Quilts & Stories

If you love old quilts and their histories, you would have loved Cindy Brick's program last night. She wowed us with her interesting stories and fascinating old quilts. Here are a few photo highlights of her program.

This is a very large old quilt made with the English paper piecing technique.
Cindy's family named the quilt "Baby" because when traveling by plane
she carries it in her arms like a baby!

This is a quilt from one of Cindy's books, Quilts of the Golden West: Mining the History of the Gold and Silver Rush.
The heroines of the era pictured on the quilt include:
Belle Starr, Molly Brown, Baby Doe Tabor

We were treated to some lovely Show & Tell items by our members. I'm sorry I didn't get photos of them all.
