May 10, 2008

Kay Walters' studio, President of WQHP
Cedarburg, WI
Subject:  Blue & White Quilts
Presenter:  Sylvia Adair

 

The notes and pictures for this meeting were all recorded by Maretta Miller.  Thank you so much for all the extra work.  :)

The WQSG met May 10, 2008, hosted by Kay in her studio.  We first gravitated to Kay's antique Singer sewing machines, which led to a quick review of the invention timeline and the Singer installment plan, which gave the opportunity for them to be household items by the third quarter of the 19th century.
 
Interestingly, all quilts brought to share belonged in the focus study of blue and white quilts.  Sylvia led the study discussion.  Because there were only four present, we were afforded time for further research, using Kay's library at hand, and for discussing indigo and other dyes, as well as block patterns, etc.

Lovely blue & white quilts were brought from home .  Pictures of some of them are below:

               

              

     

The last picture is of  the maker and the soddy in which they lived.  Vicki brought the quilt and documentation. 
 
Lunch and discussion were great.  Thank you Kay & Sylvia.
