Beth, Virginia and myself all belong to the Bear Lake Quilt Guild. Beth is in charge of the block of the month for the guild and each month members are encouraged to make two blocks to sew into charity quilts. Our guild calls them "Sunshine Quilts". Beth is in charge of getting them sewn together and to the quilter to be quilted.
It was decided at the beginning of the year to meet the week after guild and sew the blocks together. Last month we had six wonderful ladies donate their time and in two and a half hours we pieced two queen sized quilts and put the borders on them.
Yesterday, due to being so close to the Thanksgiving holiday we only had three quilters. It was amazing how much longer it took us to piece only one quilt. We didn't even get the borders on.
The day was priceless however, because Beth and Virginia are two of the most experienced quilters in our guild and the lessons learned were time well spent. You can't buy that kind of fun and entertainment! :)
Thanks to all the ladies who make up the Bear Lake Quilt Guild and all they do for our community!
