May 10, 2008 Kay Walters' studio,
President of WQHP
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:
