INTERNATIONAL QUILT FESTIVAL-2025

A Smile and a Quilt Session

Hello to each of  you in my world of quilt friends!  I’m Beverly Kirk and I define myself with the beloved yet archaic terms  of quiltin and sewin and a bit of cookin !!!

Our quilts are just a little bit different.” O.V. Brantley, Founder of Atlanta Quilt Festival

 

FIGO Fabric is my next GIG

This fabric from Riley Blake 108” for backing!  But I shopped FIGO fabrics line for my next demo quilt!!!)

Ok… so this is kinda incredible — spaced-out gothic spider webs mixed with vibrant, exuberant colors? Such a bold, electric vibe! It’s like I’m weaving a whole universe into this quilt

Quilt Culture Musings

I discovered and I repeatedly connect with the sentiments of quilt artist Professor Tracy Vaughn-Manley.   

The many pictures and guild meetings illustrate a deepening sense of community between women working together, usually on one major quilt project. The meetings have provided a space for women to come together and not be reduced to employees only, mothers only or caregivers. 

The African American women in my friendship circle helps us to stay connected to our heritage, culture and even express messages on politically urgent issues that affect our communities messages.
