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.

Meet the 2016 Board Members

Independence Hall Quilters

Our 2016 Independence Hall Quilters Board Members

2016-IHQ-Board

 

The IHQ 2016 Board Members introduced themselves and shared a bit of past & current projects.  So much talent in one room!!

I had intended to photograph each board member with their art, but I did not realize the “show” would be an informal “Sew & Tell”, and I quickly lost the opportunity. I blame my croup, or whatever hideous virus it is that still lingers, and sucks all energy.

So… if any board members feel they should have gotten a mention, but got lost into the black hole that is my brain, fear not!  Contact your local webmistress and request a private showing.
