The Kackling Kousins spent the day with the QB quilters from the State College Centre Pieces Quilt Guild. What a FUN day!!!!!
We started the morning with the Quilt-As-You-Go Workshop. The Workshop focused on the history and the techniques used in making "Potholder" quilts during the Civil War. The quilters learned that this method of quilting is still applicable today for finishing up all those blocks that most quilters have stored away and for completing community service projects.
As you can see from the photos below, each of the quilters that attended the workshop were very successful in learning this technique.
The Kackling Kousins then attended the Centre Pieces Quilt Guild meeting in the evening. They started by asking the Guild members if any of them had a stack of quilt blocks pieced together waiting to be quilted and assembled into a beautiful quilt? Most answered YES! We assured them that they were in the right lecture for getting some of these projects completed. Samples were shared and the quilters in the Workshop shared their blocks with the group.
We thank the State College Centre Pieces Quilt Guild for having us. We would love to visit your Quilt Guild and share this history and quilting technique. If you are interested, please contact one of the Kousins at 814-571-4436 (Kate) or 814-280-6529.
