A Happy Start

April 20, 2018 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.

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

**A Fabulous Beginning for a Gorgeous Quilt**

Until we meet again…

A Perfect Day For Soup

February 24, 2018 Independence Hall Quilters

Temperatures in the 20s and 30s, snow flurries, then sunny skies, then more snow clouds would creep up and just as quickly go away. I’m no weatherman, but I think the wind chill factor was 11 degrees.

A good day to stay indoors, sew, and eat hot soup for lunch.

Crock Pots and warmers lined the dining area walls, warming their contents during our general meeting and announcements. By 11:00 am the entire meeting hall was a cacophony of delicious aromas, melding into one overwhelming craving for soup!

It was difficult to wait until noon.
