Dec. 2 General Meeting– “Quilty as Charged: Undercover in a Material World,” a book by Spike Gillespie. From a book review: "Gillespie—freelance journalist, avid knitter, novice quilter—has produced a crazy quilt in praise of the million Americans who devote endless hours to creating bedcovers or works of art from small pieces of fabric. Stitched together from her own discovery of the world of competitive quilting at the 2002 International Quilt Festival in Houston and her interviews with a spectrum of quilters, embellished with the frequent sewing pun, the book combines the exuberance of quilters with illustrations of some of their creations."
