And this year's quilt is.....

Back in January the Ladies Benevolence Society of HBCPI, plus friends, began their annual quilt.  I don't know what number quilt this one is, but a group of women have been gathering here in Brookline for over two decades to stitch together a handsewn quilt as a fundraiser for preserving the Church building.  I've been digging through the archives and plan to share some of the past efforts but for now, this year's quilt is special enough to share.

This year, as in several years' past, the subject is "Moonlight in Vermont."  I believe there are 20 squares in all, each one appliqued and quilted by an individual quilter, then they are joined and a border is added.  Here are some pictures from a couple weeks ago of some of the stitchers in action: 

There was a nice article too this weekend in the Brattleboro Reformer about the quilt this past Saturday - here's a link to it:Brattleboro Reformer Article - "Moonlight in Vermont Quilt"

This is just one of the twenty squares - very nice, don't you think?


So, I've heard that most if not all the squares are now sewn together and I hope to get over to the crafters on Wednesday to check out the progress and take more pictures - this is sew much fun!
