Wordless Wed 393~ The Last 2024 Bloom

No more blooms

due to lack of daily hours

of sunlight.

This quilt was awarded to one of our police officers

who served as a Marine.

 

 Previous post of more details about this quilt

can be found

and the binding

Amazing how long it took me to make

such an easy quilt

and even to have someone quilt it!

To play with the Latin words of the Marines,

I should SIMPLify quilt making more.

Thoughtful Thurs~ Sept 2024 Needlework Group Meeting

 

Sharing the projects people worked on

during the meeting of September.

Above:

Crocheting edging on fleece

for the NICU at the University of Kentucky Hospital.

They have as many as 100 infants at one time.

These blankets cover the incubators to

block out harsh bright lights.

This is one of our group projects.

 

We could say this lady is a professional in crocheting,

because she has taught classes for years.

She has made each of her children, grand children and now

great grand children beautiful blankets. 

This one is waiting for arrival of the newest addition.

 

This member has kept track of group attendance since sometime before COVID.

She's making Prayer Squares which are left in waiting rooms, etc

for people to grab and hold on to.

Another of our group projects.

Just google prayer squares if you would like the pattern.

Another member and I

brought a QOV that we were binding.

Our deadline was in 2 days.

 

**********************

This KY Extension Agent group used to be for 

crocheting, knitting, tatting, etc.

A couple of years ago

it was decided to add hand quilting

and anything involving threads and fiber.

Embroidering and stitching cloth books is becoming an interest.

 

Besides bringing our projects,

we spend a lot of time while we work

talking about other interests and ideas,

sharing websites and sometimes books.

Recently someone brought a crochet finger ring threader

for discussion. 

At this meeting we had 5 attending.

We have had as many as 9.

So I have to wonder

is needlework becoming

a dying art?
