Sew-In August 2012

On a hot day in August, a dozen guild members gathered at The Quilt Store on Anderson Lane to finish up some Baby Bundles.  Members had turned in tops.  The Coordinators (Gracie, Elizabeth and I) had matched them to backings and cut battings for them.  Gracie did the next step, sewing the three layers together, "birthing" them, and topstitching all the way around.  She brought over two dozen to the gathering.  Some members brought their machines and quilted.  Others tied quilts using embroidery floss or crochet thread.  Others sewed on labels.  A very successful day.  Twenty quilts were delivered to the WIC breastfeeding clinic just in time for National Breastfeeding Month!
