My sister was up at three o’clock this morning writing for her new quilting website HandMadeQuilt.org.
Since she started quilting Cathie has made a quilt for just about every member of her extended family as well as several friends.
Cathie hosts a quilt group every Tuesday but like many quilters she is on call for for her quilting friends seven days a week.
Quilters will do anything for each other. They will dive through their fabric scraps on request. They will pin or tack each others quilts.
If a deadline needs to be met they will sew shoulder to shoulder until it is met.
Through all this sewing, Cathie’s quilting group tell their stories and build for themselves a creative community with a rich and personal history.
HandMadeQuilt.org will be a record of some of these remarkable quilts and the women who made them.
I am so excited about Cathie’s new venture and look forward to seeing it grow over time. I can’t think of anyone better qualified to write about the spirit of making hand made quilts.
