Every year our guild has a sew in pot luck 8 A.M. to 8 P.M. we all bring machines, irons and boards. strips, squares, lg pieces for backing guild supplies more backing and batting these quilts are tied. we work in teams 2-3 sewing untill the top is done teams that do nothing but iron, some do nothing but sandwich and tie and of course a team to just add binding (all machine done)as the day goes by we will switch teams several times so we don't get burned out. These quilts all go to our general charity quilt program and are given out as needed to hospitals, Paladin care, needy children ect. Last year we finished 8 tops that were donated, 21 new quilts from start to finish, and several tops that had to be sandwitched and tied later. Lots of fun and laughter is had by all, we stop to eat or take a break as needed. any fabric left over by the end of the day is collected and given to several ladies that enjoy making charty quilts for our guild on a regular bases. they will show up in a couple of months with a few more quilt tops done and ready to finish. We all do a little bit of everything, and boy can you learn a lot just by working on a team with some of our members! They are all great ladies and will always share there knowledge.
