A guest shared this remarkable and well-preserved quilt made around 1865 by a relative.  It will be donated to the Jeffersontown Historical Museum.

Member Barb Hutchison, owner of The Cozy Quilter, and Irene were there to teach us how to make a quilted lunch tote.  Once we learned the basic technique and process, it went very smoothly and was a fun project.

One over-achiever stayed until she finished hers.  We’re looking forward to seeing other finished totes at our next meeting.
