Tales of the First Ladies Complete

On Monday, May 19, 2025, the quilters at Hoovers completed Eleanor Burns' Tales of the First Ladies Quilt. Offering this class as a two block-a-month series gave everyone an opportunity to learn new techniques and get to know others who have the same passion for quilting.  What a great group of creative ladies. The block variations were amazing.  Take a look for yourself.










We also had several beautiful show-and-tell projects that were shared!

It Followed Me Home From Spring Fling . . .

Hoovers' Spring Fling was wonderful!  If you haven't attended one of these events, treat yourself.  There are three fun-filled days of shopping, giveaways, door prizes, and the opportunity to learn from famous educators.

The Kackling Kousins were busy helping Amanda Murphy, Bernina Expert and Quilting Longarm Spokesperson; and Connie Flanders, Retired Director of Education and Training at Bernina of America, at the Spring Fling events.

The Kousins were wondering how many women and/or men went home from Spring Fling and told this story to their significant other:
