The Harlan Valley Quilters

In our gathering, we honor and celebrate our diversity. We do not seek a unity that would deny our differences. We seek rather a deeper union, a union quilted through choice and intent, through time and attention, through respect and compassion, until we recognize that we have become a whole cloth, made rich and textured and vibrant through our differences. We are quilted together. We are bound to one another. We belong to and with each other. --Mary Pauluk

I am cleaning out my iPhoto files today.

I came across HVQ images from last fall.

We were binding comfort quilts at Betty's house.

Enjoy!

Raffle Quilt….2015

We are at it again….

Creating a Raffle Quilt to benefit

The Women's Cancer Coalition

White Swirly Background Fabric…

We are working with a softer palette this year…

The fabrics were cut into random size strips

then sewed together in strip units…

Kathi is sewing the background strips…

Rochelle is sewing the pastel strips…

The strip units were cut into strips…

Strip Units upon design wall….

Kathi arranges the strips…

Rochelle is a senior in high school this year and is

becoming an excellent Quilter!

More Design Work…

It was a challenge to keep track of the strips…

so we used sticky notes to keep them organized!

In 2 days we completed the quilt top.

Here it is ready to be basted…

The inspiration for this quilt came from:

Emma of Sampaquita Quilts

The quilt will be machine quilted over the summer.

We will post the completed quilt next fall.
