November 12th Program

 

"War and Pieced - Quilts from Military Fabrics"

 

This exhibition at the Arts & Crafts Museum in New York City in 2017 was a compilation of quilts made by soldiers from 1850-1890.  Primarily a British program, it was encouraged by Queen Victoria as a way for her troops to be engaged in "respectable" pursuits while wounded or to pass the time in military campaigns in India, the Crimea, the Napoleonic Wars, Egypt, etc.  All the quilts were made from scraps from the 100% wool uniforms, and were all hand-sewn.  Many of the soldiers were professional tailors back home, so the workmanship is exquisite.  Symbols and patterns in the quilts signified regiments, military companies, etc. Patterns were also inspired by the local cultures in which the soldiers were stationed.

Please go to the Charity Page to see all the wonderful contributions you made this year!

 

Secret Santa

 

The December 10th program is again our popular Secret Santa exchange.

 

If you are participating, you should have received an email from Cyndy O'Connor with your "giftee's" name. Remember the gift should be handmade (doesn't have to be made by you), and no food items.
