The Hard Core Quilters Stay After Lunch!

The thing that kept Monday’s guild meeting from looking like a sweat shop, were the smiles and laughter.

There was a crew making “quilt sandwiches” – basting the top-batting-backing together to get them ready to quilt. Once that was done, the “sandwich” gets handed off to the quilting crew, and soon it is ready for the “finishers” – those who like to sew bindings. Once finished, the quilt becomes a Comfort Quilt and the guild’s signature label is sewn on. Piece of cake, right?

Some quilt patterns are tougher than others, but we all had fun catching up from the holidays.
