Kathy told me this little wall hanging was made from 2" fabric swatches she had received by mail, around 25 years ago..She made tiny templates and hand pieced and hand quilted it about 20 years ago..The finished size is about 6' square...I am sorry to say the pic I took is blurred...but still one can see its beauty.. Four of the SoTA Sisters are back safe and sound after taking a trip to Chicago for the Quilt Show.. The Elder, Jody, Cindy, Kathy and Rhona left on Wed. and arrived back home Sat. Sherry and I can hardly wait for Sat. when we go to Rhona's for our monthly "Fun Meter Fill Up". They will share the event with us then... The Ol' Blogger
We are a group of women of different personalities and ages who blend together to make for an interesting and fun group. Our group is dedicated to creating art using various textiles and other mediums. Our interests include sewing, knitting, quilting, doll making, purse making, felting, beading, jewelry making, stained glass, glass blowing, glass fusing, mosaics, and altered books. We share our ideas and our time, to create items that are unusual, traditional and fun. Our fun meter is more important than our gas meter. We fill it at least once a month during our monthly meeting where we have show and tell to show projects we've completed, talk about new projects and share ideas. And the food!! As textile artists we are such lucky people. We find pleasure in simple things; the colors of hand-dyed fabrics, a spool of lustrous thread—we almost hyperventilate when we go through the door of a bead store! How fortunate we are to have passion to create and to achieve such satisfaction in what we do.
