The guild kicked off the new year with a lecture by Gyleen Fitzgerald, "Unfinished Stories with New Endings." Gyleen spoke at the Guild's January 2009 meeting where she shared with us a huge number of quilts that were made or inspired by vintage and antique quilt blocks. She acquired lots of blocks from the 1930's - 1950's. In the process of assembling these blocks into finished quilts, she was inspired to use modern fabrics and lines to create modern quilts from old patterns, which led to her book, Quilts: Unfinished Stories with New Endings. Photos from her lecture appear below.
