The Helping Hands Quilt Guild hosts:
Tuesday, October 25th - workshop from 10 to 3 pm "Inking, Scribing and Stamping on Quilts" taught by Marylou McDonald. Seats are limited, members $25, non-members $35
Tuesday evening, October 25th at 6:30 pm Helping Hands Quilt Guild welcomes Marylou McDonald. Please join us for Marylou McDonald and her presentation "The Captain Aust Quilt"
Marylou has been making Baltimore Album Quilts since 1991 and uses Baltimore Album Quilt blocks as the medium for her teaching, lecturing and research. She has photographed and researched over one hundred antique BAQs in museums and private collections. Some of her research is documented in the 2007 and 2008 Baltimore Album Quilt Engagement Calendars. She has taught BAQ history and appliqué in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, California, Texas and Arizona. Her classes are called "Tips, Tricks and Techniques" in which she teaches multi-pieced blocks by using simplified methods which she has learned through her years of appliqué experience.
In October 2005, Marylou co-chaired the Lovely Lane Museum Quilt Show and is currently lecturing on request to groups of ten or more on the Museum's four Baltimore Album Quilts. In 2008 she was guest curator for a Baltimore Album Quilt exhibit at the Quilter's Hall of Fame at the Marie Webster House in Marion, Indiana. She also has given her lectures at the Quilter’s Hall of Fame, Baltimore Museum of Art, 2009 Tucson Quilt show and the Maryland Historical Society. In 2011, she lectured in Los Angeles and Houston.
Marylou, Margo Cramer and Eleanor Layman have traced and made patterns from the four Lovely Lane Museum Quilts, Elizabeth MacCullough Hervey Quilt, the 1851-1856 Margaret Potts Quilt, the Lady of Victory Quilt, the Old Otterbein Church Quilt for the Winterthur Museum in Delaware, Captain Russell Quilt for the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Captain Aust Quilt for the Maryland Historical Society and Isaiah Mercier Quilt for the Howard County Historical Society. All of these patterns are for sale by contacting the museums and the Baltimore Appliqué Society.
Doors open at 6 pm.
