Louise Hamilton Presents at May 2023 Meeting

Please join us on Tuesday, May 2, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. with a hybrid meeting both in-person at the Vittoria Community Centre and using the Zoom app.

Louise Hamilton will be presenting a Trunk Show “My Life in Full Colour”. Louise, whose business is Purple Rooster Quilting, is delighted to share her passion with people who are unfamiliar with quilting as well as like-minded “quilty” people.

She was raised as a farm kid in the Hickson/Tavistock area. We were always covered with quilts made by her relatives through the ages. The quilts were necessary to keep warm, but they were all beautiful. Louise still has many of them. She just thought everyone had quilts. It was not until years later that she learned otherwise.

Life and two great kids happened and through the journey, quilting was her way of finding out who she was and calmed her in all storms. Beautifully therapeutic, she says!

The quilts tell the twenty plus year story of Louise’s quilting journey. Louise has no idea how many quilts she has made or where they all ended up, but she still has enough to tell her story. She has hand quilted, tied, and machine quilted on her domestic and now her long arm.

Louise currently works from home at her main joy and passion which is her long arm quilting business. She loves to bring beautiful quilt tops to another level of beauty. Louise primarily does edge to edge quilting but does a bit of custom work in very special cases. She listens to what her customers tell her about the intended use for the quilt to help them determine how to quilt it.

Louise works closely with the quilt shop, Cherished Pieces, in Tillsonburg for which she long arms. On occasion, she also teaches workshops.

Trunk shows are lots of fun to do because they tell her life journey in full colour!  She believes sharing is what we are on the earth for.
