The Kousins Develop First Quilt Pattern




Happy 2024 Quilters!

Kackling Kousins Quilting is excited to share with you our revised logo.  We hope you like it as much as we do.  It seems to represent "The Kousins to a T."  

"The Kousins" would also like to announce the development of their first published quilting pattern.  The Kousins will be debuting this pattern at a Workshop planned in conjunction with the Hoovers' SPRING FLING scheduled for Wednesday, April 10 through Friday, April 12, 2024 at the Rusty Rail in Mifflinburg, PA.

We have scheduled our Workshop for Wednesday evening, 4/10/24 and again Thursday evening, 4/11/24 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm.  Registration is limited to the first 50 quilters that register.

So, after the daytime events, come out to Hoovers at 2282 Beaver Road, Mifflinburg, and spend the evening sewing and shopping with "The Kousins!" Each of the registered quilters will receive the first copies of our pattern and a kit (Sponsored by Hoovers) to assemble the final product.  More details will be available as we get closer to the April event.  

To register for the SPRING FLING and/or the Workshop, you can call Hoovers directly at 570-966-3822.


Hoovers Quilters Work on Egg Money BOM

On Monday, January 15, 2024 the quilters who signed up for the Eleanor Burns's Egg Money BOM worked on Blocks 5 and 6.  The fifth block was the "Old Maid's Puzzle" block, which had a great story about Sadie Hawkins Day.  The sixth block was the "Dresden Plate" block that has a long history.  In the 1930 the Dresden Plate block was related to the colorful depression glass that was produced during that era.  Here are a few pictures that were captured of the class.
