A Quilter From Down Under

The Lancaster Modern Quilt Guild was clever enough to snag Sarah Fielke for a presentation. She was teaching at the AQS Lancaster Quilt Show. It was a brilliant move and she was brilliant. From opening a quilt shop in Australia called Material Obsession to writing many books yo designing a couple of fabric lines, she was engaging and fascinating.

She does not like to be labeled a Modern Quilter or a Traditional Quilter or an Art Quilter. She says she's just a quilter.

She brought a beautiful bunch if quilts, but my favorites were those inspired by antique quilts.

 

Thanks Sarah and thanks LMQG.

It was a great way to cap off my visit to Lancaster and the AQS show. I'll share photos of some quilts and my purchases tomorrow.

  2. I love a show and tell of quilts! Vintage ones truly are inspiring. Come visit my blog if you get a chance- I put a photo of the completed pin kit I won from your blog some time ago along with the Sew Embellished book. I really enjoy your book! (www.quiltnans.blogspot.com)
