Quilting

Last week Pepper Cory from Beaufort, NC was on the island teaching a Heritage Craft Class on Quilting, with a concentration on the NC Island Lily pattern. About a dozen women took advantage of this opportunity, meeting every day at the Ocracoke Community Center.

My daughter Amy took a few photographs to share with our readers. You can click on any photo to view a larger image.

    I forgot to add that I enjoyed seeing the different types of sewing machines used for the projects. The black Singer(?) one looks like it has a lot of years on it, but it kept up w/ the newer models!!!!!

    I love seeing the old traditions kept alive on the island!

    That old Singer jumped out at me, too. That looks like it was a lot of fun.
