✂️ Get Ready for the QUILT SHOW! ✂️
The North Louisiana Quilters Guild (NLQG) is excited to announce an upcoming quilt show that promises to showcase creativity, skill, and the love of quilting within our community. Among our talented quilters is LaVerne Anderson from the Sunshine chapter, a passionate quilt-maker with a decade of experience under her belt.
LaVerne specializes in T-shirt quilts and memory quilts, transforming cherished fabrics into beautiful keepsakes that tell a story. “Most of the quilts I make are commissioned memory quilts from friends and family,” she shares. These quilts serve as a heartfelt reminder of special moments, preserving memories in a tangible form.
In her latest creation, LaVerne has crafted an enchanting wall hanging featuring a butterfly motif. “I love butterflies!” she exclaims. The t-shirt quilt in the accompanying photo showcases her ability to blend personal meaning with artistic flair. “My grandmother and aunt would quilt on a (saw) horse frame in my grandmother's home when I was a child. This was my first experience with quilting,” she fondly recalls.
Join us at the NLQG Quilt Show to see LaVerne's stunning work, along with many other artistic creations from local quilters. This event is not just an exhibition; it's a celebration of community, creativity, and the art of quilting. Whether you're a seasoned quilter or simply curious about the craft, there's something for everyone!
