Some friends and I went to the Redlands CA Victorian Home and Quilt show, maybe 7 years ago. We went to see the houses but one friend and I were amazed at the 'art quilts', watercolor quilts and portrait quilts (which were the rage at the time) decorating the houses, draped over front porch railings and hanging everywhere. We were only familiar with old gramma quilts .. no offense meant, I'm a gramma too. But at that time we didn't care for traditional gramma quilts that go on beds , we were taken with the 'art' quilts.
So we both joined our local quilt guild, took a beginner's quilt class and were permanently hooked.
