Week 10: November 17th

The Piecemakers hand-quilting their Local Fabric quilt - thanks to Ann for providing the quilting frame.
After Common Threads, the Piecemakers still had two more meetings. Their top was complete and now the task of hand-quilting it. Ann provided a light quilting frame and six Piecemakers sat around the frame working the quilt, adding a variety of stitches to the composition.
Hand-quilting a top + batting + backing that was mostly sewn by hand. Long strips of sashing and final panels were put together using a sewing machine.

Six Piecemakers hand-quilting at one time!






Each Piecemaker added her own "signature" to the quilting process.

Many kinds of stitches can be found in the Piecemakers' quilt.
