Our Wednesday group, Day Stitchers, is a pretty casual group.  No mission statement, no meetings, no officers, no dues.  Just a group of women who enjoy quilting, as well as other kinds of needlework.  We gather once a week at a local library in a conference room.  Nobody has to play hostess, and nobody is required to bring treats (except often somebody does).  It’s perfect.  It’s a place you can go and spend four hours working on some handwork and enjoy the company of others.

Then somebody decided we should have a show!  (Doesn’t that sound like the old Our Gang movies?  I can just hear Darla saying, “Let’s have a show!”)  With limited space for display, we decided to do a quilt show of miniature quilts.  So our humble little group spent several months in 2007 working their hardest to produce over 100 miniature quilts.

Since this was before I began life as a blogger, I thought I would share some pictures. 

 Here are Joan, Betty, and Arlis hard at work doing set-up.

 Since the quilts were miniature, we decided the ribbons should be gi-normous.  Here is Pat’s Carolina Lily (I think that’s the name) sporting a ribbon.

I know I missed getting a picture of one bank of quilts, but this is a pretty good representation of what we accomplished in 2007.  It was a lot of work, a lot of fun, and looking at these pictures makes me think, “We should have a show!”
