I went to a guild meeting tonight, it was really good! Rachel Wetzler was the speaker. Here is her blog:

She is very nice and very generous in her explanations on the designs, the meanings, pointing all of her "mistakes" out, she told us about where she found inspiration and she then shared with us her techniques of painting, shading, adding light... Very very interesting!
And surprisingly her quilts, even with a lot of quilting were not stiff or... I really enjoyed her lecture and seeing her quilts in person!

I hope you also had a great day!
