Phil Beaver's Travelogue Photo Diary

Amoskeag Quilters' Guild

Manchester, New Hampshire

Mid November, 2005

I recently taught a two-day seminar and did a slide lecture for a quilt group in Manchester, New Hampshire.  Over thirty of these workshops have taken me all around the US and Canada this year, and this is the last until mid-January, 2006.

  Perhaps the old line "Save the best for last" was written for this group of avid and enthusiastic quilters.   They welcomed me into their fold on the day I arrived, and I did a slide lecture that evening to a large group of guild members and their guests.

          The following two days found us in the classroom painting fabrics with great results, and then using these fabrics for individual pieces that could compete with the best.

          You may click each small photo for a better and larger view.  You'll see some terrific work here, so settle in and  spend some time with a very handsome quilt show.

     Thanks, Amoskeag Guild, for a grand finale to a grand year.   We didn't do good-byes -- only "see you laters" until I return to Manchester next April for the MQX Show.

     And no more until January, 2006, when I'll be off again to the largest Quilt Show in the state of California, Road to California at Ontario.

     Hundreds and hundreds of quilters, organizers, and sponsors helped me  have an extremely successful and busy year, and I thank all of you.  It's been much fun, and I look forward to 2006 which is crammed full of seminars across the country and Canada.
