Working at the Easton Quilt-A-Thon

Here are some pictures from the recently held Quilt-a-Thon held in Easton on Saturday, December 29th, 2007.

The first picture shows several people pinning a quilt top made by the Ashley, grand daughter of Patty Locke, who had just received her first sewing machine the day before.


Here is another top made by Ashley during the first day she had her new sewing machine!.





And here is Ashley at the quilt-a-thon with her latest top. Ashley, who is only 10 years old, made 3 tops the day before the quilt-a-thon, and this was her 4th top. After the quilt-a-thon, Ashley made her 5th top, all in a total of 4 days.

Patty says that if Ashley can make a top from these big block kits, then so can any adult. These kits go together quickly, and they help to fill the need for comfort quilts at the centers that the Power of the Quilt Project help out. Are you ready to work on a quilt top for Power of the Quilt Project?

Not everyone was sewing by machine. We had a table of volunteers who were hand sewing bindings and labels on the finished quilts.
