ANNA MARIA HORNER WEEKEND

Our guild was so fortunate to be able to spend a weekend with Anna Maria Horner.  Below are photos from the lecture that was hosted by Gromes Sewing Center.  It was great to hear all about Anna Maria Horner's artistic journey.  

New fabric line-Brave.  

The SAMQ was also able to spend a whole day working on the Reserve Garden Quilt

Anna Maria Horner was so generous with her knowledge and we all learned so much.  A special thank you to Gromes Sewing Center for allowing us to use your event center.  

AMH Trunk Show

Well I must admit the trunk show wasn't at all what I expected. I kind of expected a show and tell from a sewlebrity, and we did have that, but it was a show and tell with a lot of story and a lot of lessons.  It included the story of Anna Maria Horner. Something I admit I knew nothing about.  The story of what went on in her life and the dues she paid to get where she is - very eye opening and a better explanation of who she is and why.  It included the story of her now, in the distant and more recent past, the family that raised her and the one she is raising, and a little look into the future with a pretty funny KFC story.  But also an explanation of how she approaches both fabric designing and quilt designing.  And some great insights and motivation.  Below is some of the eye candy you missed.  But its the words and the story behind the pictures that was so much more important.  So sorry if you missed it.  I feel very lucky to have been there.
