A Happy Start

Independence Hall Quilters

Things could have gone wrong easily. The day before our scheduled class/sewing bee, it snowed. Our Monday meeting was cancelled, so no reminders about the class or more volunteer recruitment happened.

Yours truly started getting nervous. About a poor turnout, and serious delay of our 2019 Scholarship Quilt. Yours truly would be in very hot water if it wasn’t finished in time. I was almost to the point of panic by the time Lynn Wilder, our instructor and designer of the pattern “Heritage”, started setting up.

By 9:30 am, our classroom looked like a sweatshop! Sewing machines of all types and models were humming along as 23 quilters squeezed together.

                                                 Work, Work, Work!

 

                       A Fun and Productive Day. We are proud of all the blocks made!

 

 

                               A Fabulous Beginning for a Gorgeous Quilt

Until we meet again…
