Egg Money BOM Continues and More Quilters Learn Ruler Quilting
Monday, February 19, 2024
The Egg Money BOM continued into month four. The blocks completed this month were the Double Wedding Ring and Rocky Road to Kansas.
The Double Wedding Ring Block became popular in the 1920 and represents a symbol of love and romance with its interlocking rings symbolizing marriage. The Rocky Road to Kansas Block refers to the period of early settlers in the late 1800's and their difficult traveling conditions.
Quilters learned how to assemble and cut an arch for the Double Wedding Ring and; how to utilizing non-woven interfacing to complete the arch.
The Rocky Road to Kansas taught quilters how to use muslin to assemble the block; and the skill of sewing inset seams. The best quotes we heard from the quilters were, "you teach us to make sure our seams are 1/4"; but during this block you wanted us to sew different size strips together at an angle to portray a rocky road . . . things that make you go Hmmmmmmm!; and "do we need a 6" hemostat or a 24" hemostat?"

The Kackling Kousins continued to share the skill of "Quilting with Rulers" at Hoovers. It was a great class and the fellowship with the attendees was a great added benefit. The quilters in the group had a nice touch with the rulers and created some good designs while auditioning the many different rulers provided for their use.
