I went to the show of Freddy Moran collage quilts at La Conner Quilt Museum yesterday.
WOW! She is so very inspiring.
Inspired by Edrica Huws, Freddy began making collage quilts when she turned 80.
She applies fabric pieces with a glue stick,
and Judy Irish stitches them on with her playful quilting.
Enjoy the show!
Are you itching to get out your scraps and glue stick? I am!

What fun!!! I recognize some and love seeing them all. Just goes to show that the golden years are the best. Thanks for sharing those.
How fun and so inspirational. I've been thinking a lot about collage quilts lately so would love to play.
She will be forever young. Thanks for sharing. I hope to still be making beautiful things when I am 80 :)

I am in awe of Freddy's talent with fabric and color. She is one amazing woman!
WOW - Freddy's quilts may be inspired by Edrica Huws - but looking at what Freddy did is like stepping into that moment when the Kansas-colored movie turns to **technicolor** - and you're in OZ! So inspiring! Thanks for the treat. (how do I bookmark this post?)
