Recent Burke QU Speakers and Events

28 Oct 2020 – BQU featured Suzi Parron (http://www.barnquiltinfo.com/suzi.htm ), author of the book titled “Barn Quilts and the American Quilt Trail Movement.”  Suzi’s presentation took us over most of the continental United States.  Her presentation was a Joy to listen too and her knowledge on the Subject was excellent.  Suzi’s presentation style was friendly and easy flowing.  We had an enjoyable evening and came away knowing much more about barn quilts, how they got started and the trail that we would all like to take someday.

23 Sep 2020 – BQU featured Mary Mahoney, the Telltale Artist (https://thetelltaleartist.com/) in our Program meeting. She presented a lecture on her quilting journey to include her quilted homes.  She went into great depth on how she started making houses and shared many of her tips on how she improved the quality along the way.  The evening was filled with many examples where she showed a picture of the house she wanted to creat and the results of her creations.  Her creations were awe inspiring and a great example of what can be achieved when you find a nitch that brings joy to your Heart.  Thank you Mary for a wonderful presentation.
