Who Has Talent?

QGA's own Connie Soileau certainly has quite a bit of talent and expresses it beautifully in her Bible Awareness Quilts.   Connie says she got started many years ago when her young friends began to marry.   She would gift each newly wedded couple a quilt she made that embraced marriage scriptures.

Connie started quilting 42 years ago but took a 20 year leave-of-absence while her children were young.   Connie, who is a member of Krotz Springs Quilt Guild, joined Quilters' Guild Acadienne in 2016 and is a very prolific quilter, having recently completed one Bible Awareness Quilt - but Holy Moses....she's completed 200 or more quilt blocks.  Connie says her goal is to complete one block a day in the upcoming year. 


It's been interesting trying to figure out which bible verse Connie is interpreting in her quilt blocks and enjoyable reading The Bible verses shown to wonder at her interpretation of each biblical legend.

Connie admits to  being a modern quilt maker and says "I prefer modern quilts because I don't like to make the same square over and over." 


Congratulations, Connie.  You have talent!
