Bag a Doe ... Or Sew?

"Bag a Doe or Sew?" was an easy question for these quilters at Hoovers to answer on December 2. From 10:00-3:00 Deer Season and the hustle bustle of the Holiday Season were forgotten.  Everyone was "cackling" as The Kousins helped the quilters complete their table mats. Their color selections were amazing and the finished table mats were beautiful.  It was so nice to spend the day with new and old quilting friends!  Take a look at the highlights that took place at this "Hen Party" . . .

Kackling Kousins--November 2024 Highlights

The Kackling Kousins spent two days at Hoovers in November.  What a joy to be part of the Hoover Family teaching quilting skills and techniques to such great people.   

As 2024 flies by, the quilters participating in the Tales of the First Ladies Block-of-the-Month have been so successful.  To date, we captured the blocks they have completed.  Watching their fabric selections come to life into this beautiful wall hanging is so exciting for us.  Take a look at their accomplishments. 

  

Here are also a few photos from the Machine Quilting with Rulers class.
