What fun we had, visiting with Freddy Moran at the Rebels meeting yesterday!
She brought a few of her latest works to show.
And she gave us some sage advice. Here a few points that I remember.
"I never know what I'm going to make until I get started."
"Don't be afraid to make a lousy quilt. You don't have to show it to anybody."
"Occasionally a quilt comes together easily. Usually it takes a LOT of work."
Thank you Freddy, and to our friends who brought her.
We'll remember this day forever!
I love that. Don't be afraid to make a lousy quilt!
ReplyDeleteFreddy told us she was leaving for Seattle to meet with a wonderful group. I didn't realize it was you. What a wonderful time you must have.
ReplyDeletelove those quotes!! ;)
ReplyDeleteWords spoken from a true quilter--great advice
ReplyDeleteFreddy Moran reminds us that making a quilt that takes "a lot of work" means that you have spent many hours doing exactly what you want to be doing! It seems that the "work" actually merges with "play"! What more could we want?
ReplyDeletei was fortunate to see her in NJ for dinner lecture. What a great Lady!
ReplyDeletelove the quotes you shared!
Lucky quilters! One of the best, most rewarding, and most inspirational workshops that I ever took was with Freddy Moran. I would so enjoy spending time with her again. I learned so much about playing with color and design. I treasure her quilt books, especially when she collaborated with Gwen Marston. I live by her mantra, "Red is a neutral."
ReplyDeleteFreddy Moran is at home at the Rebels of Seattle :-)
ReplyDeleteGood advice. How lucky are you? I wish.
