Upcoming Baltimore Album Trunk Show

clip_image002

We are so pleased to have Jane Gorder coming to Apple Country Quilt Guild to put on a Baltimore Album Trunk Show.

Jane was always interested in quilts and took her first quilt class in 1976. Her favorite technique is appliqué and the Baltimore Album Quilts intrigued her. Jane traveled to Baltimore 3 times to study the Baltimore Quilts and learn about the fabrics, colors and designs that were used in the original quilts. Jane learned the Victorian Ladies kept journals, the blocks of the Baltimore Quilts are like a journal, and they all have a meaning.

The quilt in the photo is called the Metropolitan Garden and won best in show and first place in the 2009 East Cobb Quilt Show.

The Trunk Show will be September 20th and will be held at Hope Lutheran Church off Hwy 515 and Old 5.  The Trunk Show will start at 10:00 a.m. 

If you are not a guild member and are interested in attending the show please leave a comment and let us know how many may be attending.
