I just googled 30s reproduction fabrics and clicked on this store. This should give you an idea. http://www.twiddletails.com/store/in...ort=20a&page=1

I asked about the quality and value of Gee's Bend Quilters. Her nose went in the air and she turned and started talking to another person treating me as if I was not there ..... for the rest of the evening. She made sure I was also snubbed by others. Me being me did not walk away and acted as if I enjoyed the gathering. But today it stings and I will give none of those involved the time of day (or support for any of their activities) for a long, long time.

Dump the guild and tell they why if you are asked, Lstew2212! That was totally RUDE! I go to a local Quilting Bee every Wednesday...I am a new member and most of the ladies have been going for more than 30 years. The lady that started it is still at its helm. First day I went she welcomed me and told me there is no gossip there..just a group of women that enjoy quilting. That was fine with me because I feel the same way. I have learned something every time I go..there are master quilters there, quilting teachers and some of us that are just loving what we do. It is such fun and I simply can't wait for Wednesday to come around! Quilting Police are not welcome. I was sort of scared to show them some of my work but they were all so appreciative...it really feels good to go there...just very warm and comforting..
I love 30's quilts and am looking forward to the '30's exchange...Darlene Zimmerman has a new line of repo fabrics at my LQS!!! |

Createfourpaws and Elisabrat~you two could swap something else with each other if you don't want to do 30's repros....let me know...
Elisabrat and I have already been in contact and are planning on doing just that. I am open to having a second partner if someone else wants to swap with me. Just send me a PM and we can make it happen. |

I'm sorry you had such a negative encounter. She clearly is a control freak and snob. I wonder what she would say about Picasso or some other artist who didn't 'follow' her formula. Too bad she is so limited in her creativity. I take it this happened at a guild meeting?? How about there be a meeting on artistic quilts? or scrappy quilts??? - - - Jane

Ladies, Your opinion please, I have Aunt Gracie fabric for the 30's....is that ok?
|
sounds good to me!!
