She came in period dress as Eliza Pinckney.  She taught us the history of Indigo and how Eliza Pinckney helped save South Carolina's economy during the 1700s.  She brought lots of quilts showing the different variations in Indigo.  She even showed us how they dressed revealing most of the layers.

We had a great time with two of our Compassion Projects: Meals on Wheels and The Coweta Pregnancy Center.  
They shared a lot of information about their organizations and how they serve the people of Coweta County.  They thanked us and emphasized how much our various quilt projects are appreciated by the recipients.  We are doing a great job serving our county ladies and gentlemen!  We presented them both with quite a few completed lap quilts, placemats, baby quilts and burp cloths.

May 2022 Fun

We had a good time at our guild meeting.  We had a last minute surprise with Coweta County Artist in Resident Amy Pabst.  She brought 14 quilts in a regular size overnight duffle bag!  They were Mini Quilts and Micro Quilts.  To see all of her piecing was amazing.  
Then we Had Kristen Slagle from Southern Crescent Quilters Guild doing a demo and sew in for Post Cards and Quilted Hearts. What a way to touch people personally and anonymously.  If you don't feel like quilting but you are wanting to be creative, this might just be the ticket for you.  

June 2022 Fun

Thank you Paula Brown for stepping in and giving us a wonderful look into quilting with Vintage Linens.  Paula has presented a Crazy Quilt Trunk show in the past that was fantastic.  This trunk show was just as wonderful. 
All of her linens she has either found or have been given to her.  She cleans them in special products such as RetroClean.  She uses vintage table cloths, pillow cases, hankies, doilies and hand towels in her quilts.
