got so we never wanted to
see another house!"
"Just like in the old days,
quilting goes faster with a
neighbor,” she comments,
noting that several other are
churches offer similar
circles for quilting.
“It can still bring people
together so they can talk and
quilt and enjoy companion-
ship. For some of these
women Thursday is the rfgh-
light <jt the week. For the
lonely it provides not only ;
quilting but friendship.”
Although the circle seldom
pieces quilts anymore it
never lacks for variety of de-
sign in the quilts worked for
money, the proceeds of
which go to missions.

energy shortage have also
been credited with the
revival.
With beginnings in the
Orient, quilting has traveled
many miles since the
crusaders brought back the
secret that would keep them
warm and their armor firom
chaffing. Their wives and
sweethearts took the form,
created fancy stitches and
designs and soon adapted
quilting to coverlets,
canopies and curtains.
Pilgrims to the New World
brought these family

their voyage over but soon
found pihces wearing thin

Members of the quilting
group have been meeting for
years and more than half are
in their 80’s. Not long ago
they decided to encourage
younger women to Join.
“We put a notice in the
church paper that we were
offering - a nursery on
alternate Thursdays," says
Mrs. Travis. "The first class
had eight, with group lessons
at the church.
“There’s no charge and
the only rule is if you stick
your finger, don’t bleed on
the quilt!"
