postheadericon Thanks for All You Do!!

We had a great weekend & were very productive! Friday night, we cleaned out the caboose, and followed up over at Julie's house to sort all of our fabric by color. Saturday, welcomed Barbara Yeates to our group along with delivery of our 2nd quilt, which was delivered to a lady who's suffering from bone cancer. We enjoyed our day as several of us brought salads for lunch. A total of 5 quilt tops have been completed so that we may deliver more to hospice patients. Thanks to everyone who came out. Have a blessed week & please let me know if you can help on Sat.

postheadericon It's CQ Night!


Tonight is Comforting Quilter's at the Byron Depot beginning at 7 PM until whenever we feel like going home! We'll be cleaning out the caboose and loading it all to my house to sort and organize. We've had a huge donation of fabric and my dining room needs help! I hope to see everyone out this evening for some good old fashioned fun!

If you can't make it tonight, we sure hope to see you on tomorrow. We'll be loading up the machines, ironing board and fabric to cut more quilt tops. Lunch is a special occasion at CQ Saturday, so be sure to bring a salad to share. Table service will be provided. We meet at 9 AM sharp and will be quilting until 3 PM so stop on by for the day or an hour!

Sewing Love with Each (and every) Stitch!

postheadericon History Revisited!

My daughter who lives in Fort Scott, KS sent me this wonderful news piece.  I have provided it below for you to consider in your own community.  What a magical display will this be!  Thanks Jody! 
The Airing of the Quilts

     What a festive sight in historic Fort Scott all of March, recreating a long time tradition bringing winter bedding outside to bask in the sunshine and catch the fresh breezes welcoming springtime to the Prairie. Celebrate Women's History Month with Voices from the Quilts.  Toss quilts over balconies, banisters, fences & clothes lines to tell our story from the Voices from the Quilts!
     The entire month of March centers around the Fort Scott National Historic Site bringing Civil War Quilts and memorabilia for all to appreciate and admire:  "Reflections on the War: Women and their Civil War Quilts"   The Sutler of Fort Scott has contributed authentic Civil War sewing tools and accessories to be on display all month. 
      See  Quilts telling the stories of local families at Lyons Twin Mansions  daily  and free of charge.  Downtown shoppes have their windows and walls full of quilts.  Window shopping is a delightful experience in historic Fort Scott . . just like in the olden days!  Come on downtown and experience the magic!
