The local county guild (Saline County Quilt Guild) won't let me join because I'm a man, but I am a member of the state guild and we do have another man in that guild and his work is excellent. He's a teacher and taught a quilting class to high school students for 30 years. I'm a member of another guild in the next county over as well, and we have a couple of men in that one, too. Once of them, Dave, is a member here on the QB, too.

It is such a loss for the quilt guild that won't let you join because you are a man. You would bring a lot to offer to any guild.

I just got my first block. What applique method did you use?

I'm fusing the shapes and then doing a machine blanket stitch. But I'm not doing the BOM that some places are doing, I'm just doing it on my own, picking my own fabrics.

As always, Eddie your work is stunning and I can't wait to see it finished.
GOD bless and safe travels.

Eddie, I have been a William Morris fan for years and I have Michele Hill's book for so long and all the fabric to do a quilt and the wall hanging from the book.
A friend of mine has made a beautiful wall hanging using her favourit blocks it is beautiful. I will be watching this space for more updates on your progress, and one day when I have finished my current project.

Beautiful blocks. I also have the book but haven't started anything yet. Don't forget to show the whole quilt when finished. I know it will be a show stopper.

My goodness--you certainly are ambitious! Way to go and I hope that you will continue to share your progress with us!
