Tuesday evening Carolyn Forster was the speaker at the Hamtune Quilters meeting. Table upon table was covered in quilts and her talk covered her quilting life. She was a very entertaining speaker and her quilts were beautiful.
On Wednesday a Perkiomen Valley Quilt workshop had been arranged with Carolyn. Perkiomen is an area between New Jersey and Pennsylvania and had a rich heritage of a certain type of quilt not found anywhere else.
Made of squares and half square triangles we were shown a number of different ways these could be made into blocks and then a seemingly endless number of ways the blocks could then be arranged.

I do not understand. Perkiomen is in the USA but you were at the workshop?
Christa, Perkiomen in the USA has given its name to a type of quilt. If you google Carolyn Forster you will see samples of the designs.
