Program Day , 22 May 2018
We had a wonderful program today. Marion Langhus from Langhouse B&B, Gagetown came for a visit and brought a few of her antique quilts...the ones she restored and chatted with us about restoring old , damaged quilts. She gave us some wonderful ideas of displaying these quilts and ways of restoring them. This beauty was incredible. It was dated, from the 1890's and initialled by the maker. The embroidery was amazing. Marion repaired by replacing fabrics that came close to matching, however, she did not replace some embroidery that had disappeared feeling it was tribute to the expertise of the creator not to recreate it. We certainly enjoyed her trunk show and she was generous with her responses to questions, I am sure she has been asked before. Jacqui started show and tell with this amazing quilt ...it is for her sister in law. What a gorgeous quilt it will be when Agathe has her turn at it. We all brag about this lady...101years young and still quilting.
