I had the pleasure of attending the 80th Uncle Eli's Quilting Party today. It is the oldest continuous quilting event in the US and was held at the Eli Whitney, NC Community Center. The Center is a former school and the party started in this agricultural area when the principal of the school tried to get the parents more involved at the school. I checked the sign in a little before noon and already almost 300 people had shown up.
While there, I learned how to hand quilt! DH's response when I told him? "You already know how to do that from watching that lady at quilt bee" - which meets at our house. Anyhow, here is a pic of my first effort. I'm pretty pleased with it.
All in all, a good day.
