Recent projects include original patterns inspired by the Black Panther movie and an exhibit about the Book of the Dead at U of C Oriental Institute.

Baby Quilt presentation to Jackson Park Hospital Monthly Raffle Show & Tell Two LQG members, Roz and Merrill have quilts that will be in the Sapphire Celebration exhibit at the International Quilt Festival in Houston in October. Congratulations, ladies! This organic display celebrates divergent styles and creative expression. Each quilt is designed and executed by 3 to 4 different quilters. The quilt is started with a center block about 10 to 12 inches square. Each subsequent participant takes the intention of the original quilter and interprets it to create a beautiful piece of art. It a metaphor to demonstrate how working together we often create something much more unexpectantly" beautiful than individuals can do by themselves. Typical in public service, workint g together often produces better results.
One of our members shared the link to this film about the Houston Quilt Show. Enjoy!
