From left, Joan Dawson, Donna Morrow, Betty Blaker and Audrey Audrey Gogerty. by Carolyn Hepburn(C) , While the art of quilt making making may have changed somewhat over the years, a group of seven ladies in Newcastle Village prove that it is still alive ana well. The group from St. George's Anglican Church is working on a quilt to be sold at the fall craft and bazaar .sale on November 7. What makes this quilt so special is the many different hands that have contributed to the project. "With seven different people people you 11 get seven different types of quilting," said Betty Blaker, one of the quitters. "Stitching has become quite an art, small and precise is the way to go," she adds. That is exactly how the ladies ladies have approached the project. Tn< the Wednesday morning craft time that tne ladies attend. attend. On average, they spend three hours a week on the project and have been working since mid- September. Mrs. Blaker is credited with cutting out the pattern and sewing the pieces pieces together, but it has taken each member of the group to sew the finishing quilting touches. Prior to starting the quilt for the sale this fall, the ladies had done quilting for other tie quilt is being sewn at W« " up to do a quilt from scratch for the sale, the expertise of the group kicked in. After deciding that they would work on the "Lone Star" pattern, the pink and rose materials were selected and the sewing began. One look at the beautiful quilt and it is obvious that colour colour is one element of quilting quilting that has changed over ' the years. Audrey Gogerty, another quilter at work on Wednesday Wednesday morning, agrees. "The colours have changed since, for example, the 1930's," she said. "They used to be dark and they have certainly brightened brightened up," she adds. Further, the quality of the fill used in quilts sewn today as well as the weight and textures of the materials used have also undergone drastic changes. "In earlier days they made use of scrap materials," said Mrs. Blaker. "They used anything to keep warm," she adds. Now that would-be quilters can head to the local fabric store to pick out the colours and materials they desire, quilting truly has become an art. Presently, the group works from patterns. Mrs. Blaker says tnat she would one day like to get into designing her own patterns. While Mrs. Blaker has been quilting for years, she took some refresher courses at a shop in Bowmanville in the spring of 1986. One of her quilts won second prize at tne Orono Fair in 1985, and she has sent one of her quilts to a relative in Yellowknife, N.W.T. According to Mrs. Blaker, quilting is a North American craft and has developed several several myths. These include: never put a quilt on a frame on a Friday; if a needle breaks in the quilt it will be stronger, and damp weather is not good for quilting. quilting. Evidently, in earlier years, women waited for the cold winter months, when the needle "went through the material like butter". While it is expected that the quilt will be finished by the bazaar date, quilting is something something that can't be rushed. It takes patience, good eyesight, eyesight, and more than a bit of skill. The ladies from St. George's prove that it can also be a lot of fun.
