The quilt you see here was a group project. Several years during the 1980s I hosted a quilt group pretty much weekly in my home. I was living in Navy housing at the time in San Diego. We had formed a group of Navy wives who got together to make a quilt each year. The quilt was usually raffled, and the proceeds went to things like "Breakfast with Santa" and an Easter Egg Hunt each year at our Community Center. For this one all of us put in our blue or brown scraps so a little bit of all of us was in this quilt. The reason I have this one is because my mother bought out the raffle by giving us a price a bit more than we usually made selling our raffle tickets. In clearing Mom's house earlier this year the quilt came back with me. I have a guest bed in my craft room/office that I keep this quilt on, so I see it every day now and remember fondly the times gathered around my quilt frame working, laughing and sometimes crying during the time shared with some amazing women.
Have you been part of a community group? Do you have fond memories of working on a group project?
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
