Comments:
The quilting group at Easter Lutheran Church in Eagan, MN, makes quilts from their closet full of donated quilting fabrics. This spring we found a grocery bag of newly donated fabrics that were especially nice. Since we did not want to cut up the fish fabric, we planned a quilt using large pieces of fabric. The quilting was done on a treadle powered sewing machine, a 1950's Necchi made in Italy housed in a 1904 Singer treadle stand.
Quilting designed include seahorses, starfish, sailboats, dolphins, and turtled in the solid strips and an overall ocean wave in the fish print.
Those involved in creating this quilt include Cindy Taintor, Jill Smook, Donna Gibbons, Kathy Kuckler, Theresa Lund and Signe Bobbit.
