Ladies Who Lunch Before Art Quilt Meeting

I had a wonderful day yesterday.

My friend Robbie Payne came over and I got to see all her latest work. It is fantastic.
Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures but you can see her work on her blog.

We went up to the clubhouse where Nancy Burkhalter already had our table for lunch.
Nancy and Robbie had never met but you would have thought they were old friends they way they hit it off. They are both from Michigan.
After lunch it was time to head to our Art Quilt group meeting.
It was an excellent meeting with a lot of show and tell and also some great discussion on elements of design.
Again, I was remiss in taking photographs but I am including a link to Robbie’s blog so you can see pictures of a lot of our show and tell.

Take some time and look around on her blog. She does the most fabulous beading I have ever seen. She integrates in beautifully into her quilts.
She loves hand work and it really shows in the creative ways she incorporates it into her pieces.
Nancy did not have anything to show today, but she does fantastic beautifully designed work. She really knows how to make the sewing machine work doing gorgeous tasteful machine embroidered work. She also does some glorious surface design fabrics. We each have our own strong points. I don’t think I have any links to Nancy’s work nor pictures of it so you will have to just take my word for it.
Am I lucky or what to have such talented friends! And at last, another puzzle for you!
