One of our longarm ladies, Deb Franklin, has a penchant for geometric shapes...to say the least. Deb has superb skill in piecing, "fixing" our boo-boos and is truly an artist. This past month Deb came to the MSP Quilting Angels with her thought of making a group quilt for the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair.
If you listen to any of the ladies who have entered their own work, the stories have a very similar thread, "I entered not to win, but to get a critique and learn from that message".
Interesting...the artist in each of us wanted more information from a trusted source. Each of us becomes a trusted source to each new person that JOINS IN, when she becomes a Quilting Angel. We too have a responsibility to uplift ourselves and those that are new to the causes we support - Quilts of Valor and Quilts for Kids.
And so too, has Debbie done this, her love of all things geometric has given the ladies a new vision.
Debbie, thank you for sharing your talents, your love of quilting....and we'll all wait to hear and learn from the critique at the fair.

Is there a way we could have a booth at the fair one afternoon or so for our group? Maybe have squares that people could decorate or sign with fabric markers. Hand out flyers about the group's efforts?
