Dear Quilters,
In 2000, a small group called the "Around Town Quilters" decided that we needed a banner for our quilt guild, which you can see on the stage at our meetings.
There were 12 of us and we each made the 4 ½” squares of different patterns. Each block was made 12 times for each lady. We ended up with 49 different squares in all. Some of us have made small wall hangings or small lap quilts with them and yes there are some UFO's still. I wonder who?
The letters were enlarged, cut, appliquéd and then bordered with the smaller squares before being quilted.
It was great fun and fellowship, and we came home with something … memories and blocks.
Some have moved away and some are still here. We can't forget these ladies. They are: Donna Landry, Joyce Martin-Bruce, Connie Abel, Alma Kuni, Denise French, Barb Slavik, Joan Jane, Lise Foster, Lina Demattia, Kathryn Steadman, Donna Kendall and Alice Silcox. This is the history of how our banner was made.
Have a look at it and you can see our names printed on the blocks!
