Every month for the last 5 years I have visited with the EZ Quilters. We are a friendship group in Orange Country, about 18 strong now. The women in this group are all wonderful quilters and so creative and talented. 
One very special EZ quilter is Joan Rossen. This woman never complains, is always encouraging and does some of the most beautiful work I've ever seen. She has allowed me to show her most recent work of art here. This double wedding ring is for her daughter and while it took her a while and many great hurdles to climb during this time, she has completed it and done a fantastic job. Her hand stitching is exquisite and colors beautiful and vibrant. I wish you all could see it in person. Maybe we will get her to put it in our Bi-Annual guild quilt show. Love you Joannie, I know your daughter is going to absolutely love this quilt.
If you are a lone quilter, join a local group or get into an on-line group, guild or start one yourself. Even if you may not feel you have the time. Take it. You will be inspired, encouraged and constantly challenged to step up your skills.
I am so honored to be involved in 4 such groups EZ Quilters, Wool Gatherers, Flying Geese Quilt Guild and Bee Splended online bee.
Have a great week!
Love Aunti
I'm in one friendship group and have been thinking maybe I need to add a guild. I do love the ideas, support and creativity.
