Approximately 12 ladies gathered in our church basement to quilt on Monday and Tuesday, October 15& 16. A lot of work is put in before quilting days: material is sorted, many tops are made and a lot of material is squared.
Carrie is a very faithful servant who helps in all aspects of the quilting process. Here, she is squaring off a back.
Leslie uses her sewing talents to make backs, fillings or tops. Be careful what clothes you leave around her or it might end up in a quilt!
Lila and June make a "sandwich" of a back, a top and a filler in between. Then they pin the edges so it is ready for a sewer.
Jan, Lila, June, Doreen, Carrie Pin more quilts. Oh, Oh, did we quilt Jan's face? Maybe she is just camera shy!!!
Avis, quit bothering Elaine! She needs to hem the quilt so it is ready to be tied!
Byrdie finishes off the edges of another quilt.
Jean gets ready to tie a quilt.
Doreen concentrates as she ties another quilt.
Helga finds out that even visitors are put to work! Here, she and Isabel tie a very colourful quilt.
We will be quilting again from next Monday morning to Wednesday noon. Any help is appreciated!
