Monday was guild night, and our speaker was the one and only
David Taylor. I will start off by saying that I have never laughed so hard or so loud at guild, and
that is saying something.
David is the many-times-over award-winning quilter who name-drops with
the best of them and tells stories that have you on a roller coaster
ride of hysterical laughter and jaw-dropping awe. His quilts are
exquisite and his charm overflowing.

Once again, the people who took the
workshop the day before the lecture raved about it and made me dream of going to one of David's retreats. (Doesn't
this one, with
Charlotte Angotti and
Laura Wasilowski sound incredible?)
The story of how David's love of fabric turned into this amazing art is fascinating and hilarious at the same time. I apologize for the quality and scarcity of pictures...I left my camera home and had to take these with my phone. Spend a few minutes looking through
David's gallery. Then realize that there is no paint or dye on these quilts. These are all individual pieces of fabric, appliqued on BY HAND, and then machine quilted.
Awesome! Standing ovation to our programs committee! Thank you!
If you laughed very hard at David, I can't imagines how much laughing would happen in a retreat that includesnCharlotte Angotti? Wow!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Can you imagine the dinner conversations? I don't know Lisa, but I've heard she is equally fun.
ReplyDeleteLucky you - I would love to see him & all of those mind-blowing quilts. My sister took the class -she forgot her camera too- hope she remembered to bring it to guild meeting.
