ICA news: Talent within the ranks of ICA guilds ably demonstrated

ICA guilds have tonnes of talent within their membership — a fact that was highlighted in Limerick recently when Glin Guild’s Mary Lucey O’Connor regaled her colleagues with a talk on patchwork quilting.

“She was most informative on the history of quilting. She showed some marvellous examples of her own work, including bedspreads, cushions, handbags, and tablemats and she pointed out the difference between Amish, English, and Indian quilting,” says a spokesperson who attended the September meeting at which Mary was guest speaker.

With guild president Norma McKeon presiding, the meeting opened with the ICA prayer and sympathy was expressed to those who had had a bereavement since the previous meeting.
