Crafternoon at the New York Public Library

This post is overdue but better late than never, right?

In September I discovered a very cool monthly event the New York Public Library offers.  They have a free event hosted by a well-known crafter ever month called Hand-made Crafternoon.  The guest host can be an expert in just about anything that falls within the “crafting” category.

At the end of September, the library’s guest host was the one and only Denyse Schmidt.  Any of us that call ourselves modern quilters know Denyse.  Not only does she make AMAZING and inspiring quilts, she is an incredibly talented fabric designer.  I love, love, love working with her fabric and have quite a few pieces in my fabric stash just waiting to be used.

Denyse spoke about her experience designing quilts and fabric and then we pieced together our own mug rugs using Denyse’s fabric.

It was so much fun to see Denyse in person and hear about her design background.  And now that I know the library hosts Crafternoons, you better believe I’ve already signed up for the December event.

Here is the finished product already in use.

P.S. For those of you who don’t live in New York but are planning to visit, the New York Public Library is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city.  They offer public tours and I plan to take a tour myself one of these days.
