Spring Luncheon

March 31, 2017March 31, 2017 Independence Hall Quilters

Our Spring Luncheon on March 20th was a culinary delight (as usual), and a fun social.

Quilters line up to buy raffle tickets to put in a bag for certain items they would like to win. Yours truly usually puts all her tickets towards an “Ott Light” – a desk lamp to use when you are sewing/quilting. Another lady (who shall remain nameless) is also trying to win one. Neither of us has (yet!), but we have won a fun item or two along the way. The $ earned is spent on community donations, i.e., Ebbetts Pass Elves, the Food Ban
k, Resource Connection, to name a few.

Comfort Quilts Cut Day

April 15, 2016 Independence Hall Quilters

OneHalfFabricRoom

Cut day is when we choose fabrics for a comfort quilt pattern, and cut the pieces needed to make the quilt. These get put into a bag, along with the pattern instructions, and batting. Now this bag is called a “kit” and it can be checked out to members that want to work on it.

Some members like to piece the quilt top together, some prefer to do the quilting only, and others like doing the entire process from piecing to binding. This makes it fun for all.

Those of us who can’t cut straight with a ruler take photos…
