We had a very good meeting this month. Shannon hosted while Harriet, Flora, Pris, Janet, and Miriam attended. The meeting started with a review of the YF list and now every graduating senior has a quiltmaker!
Show and Tell
Pris showed her "Bits and Pieces" quilt, now finished. The quilt is very detailed and well-made—HAND-QUILTED as always! She thinks it will be given to a companion at the House of Healing.
Miriam brought small squares for a quilt in progress. Miriam has reams of small scraps and pieces from previous quilts that she’s working on using up.
Janet showed a quilt made by her friend that she has finished quilting. Over 1000+ pieces of 1 1/2" squares. Again, every detail is well done, including the quilting.
Flora showed the detailed gift-bag that she was given made of wool fabric—quite exquisite. She also reported that the doll bed and accessories she shared with us at the last meeting were raffled off for $55. The recipient child was thrilled with her mother's bid.
The quilt top Flora is holding was designed and stitched by Maurine. Flora will be finishing it for a YF quilt this year.
Harriet hauled in all the laundry bags that the Piece Makers made at Shannon's Bernina shop recently. No two alike, all great! Rev. Duran will add some items to the bags and see that they're sent to last year's Seniors.
Shannon displayed a darling baby quilt that she had made for a friend's new baby. She also showed us a 1929 Singer portable sewing machine that she recently bought at an estate sale. Beautifully crafted and cared-for, it’s still in working condition. This is one of the earliest electric models made and a treasure indeed..
After a bit of general conversation and tea, the meeting dispersed.
