Charlie Davis, and his wife, Dorothy, were our special guests this month. Charlie owned and operated his own upholstery shop in Parsons for many years before it was destroyed by a fire. Charlie and his wife then operated a mobile concessions stand from state to state at state and county fairs and other events from which they sold cinnamon rolls and other food items.
During this time, Charlie decided to try his hand at embroidery and quilting after watching his wife work on her own projects during breaks and down times. He took a class and read books to learn how to get started. Charlie's first quilt features an embroidered fan design with a flying geese border and he's started a second quilt that consists of hexagons and diamonds. His quilts are beautiful and the guild enjoyed Charlie's presentation.
